Abstract:
A nozzle capable of removing a surplus liquid material, which is adhered to outer surfaces of the nozzle and which affects a discharge operation, without undergoing a special process, and a liquid material discharge device provided with the nozzle. The nozzle ( 1 ) includes a body ( 2 ) having a liquid inflow space, and a discharge tube ( 4 ) communicating with the liquid inflow space and extending downwards from the body ( 2 ). A liquid removing member ( 16 ) is disposed at a lower end of the body ( 2 ) in a state laterally surrounding the discharge tube ( 4 ), and the liquid removing member ( 16 ) includes a groove-like space ( 15 ) that is formed between adjacent to of plural surrounding surfaces ( 10 ), and that generates capillary force acting in a direction laterally away from the discharge tube ( 4 ).

Claim (Index 7):
The liquid material discharge device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a vacuum mechanism and a suction device,\n wherein the vacuum mechanism includes a block-like member provided with a through-hole having an inner side opening positioned near the liquid removing member, and an outer side opening of the through-hole in the block-like member is connected to the suction device.
