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 6):
The liquid material discharge device according to  claim 5 , wherein a length of the discharge tube is several times an inner diameter of the discharge tube, and the capillary force acting in the direction towards the base of the discharge tube is generated until the liquid climbing along the lateral surface of the discharge tube reaches the base of the discharge tube and/or the distance between the pair of guide surfaces and the distance between each of the plurality of surrounding surfaces and the lateral surface of the discharge tube are each 2000 \u03bcm or less.
