Abstract:
An outer shaft of an applicator axially slidably receives an inner shaft, which is axially moved through a push-out operation thereof; and the inner shaft is provided a valve unit, an opening/closing operation of which is interlocked with such push-out operation of the inner shaft, which valve unit is connected with an application-liquid intake conduit fixed to an inside of the outer shaft; in a front end portion of the outer shaft is mounted an application-liquid applying member to which is fed the application-liquid such as an ink, a nail polish and like liquids having passed through the valve unit and the application-liquid intake conduit. A clearance is provided between a front end of the valve stem of the valve unit and the rear end of the application-liquid intake conduit, and a spring means is provided between the liquid intake conduit and the outer main shaft to compensate for undesired looseness.
Abstract:
The present invention offers a device for fixing a writing or coating member in a writing or coating tool for a liquid composition, such as a writing brush, comprising a main body with a hole having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of a plate portion provided at the rear end of the writing or coating member, a cutaway communicating from one side fringe of the main body to the hole with tapered side lines, a bow-shape leaf spring portion which is protruded from the fringe side opposite to the cutaway of the main body and lapped in such a manner that an intermediate portion approaches substantially in contact with the side face of the main body while its top end being maintained apart from the side face of the main body by a distance larger than the distance of a nearest approached portion, and 2 leg plates which are protruded from both the other fringes of the main body substantially vertically to the plane of the main body, and in the side opposite to the side where the leaf spring is located, while tops of the leg plates being slightly separated and bent oppositely and outwardly.
Abstract:
A writing implement having a cap member is provided and is a direct-flow type (liquid ink type) writing implement including: a barrel cylinder; a holder holding a pen core at a front end of the barrel cylinder and further having inside the barrel cylinder, an ink tank for storing a liquid ink and a collector for temporary retention thereof. The collector, barrel cylinder and ink tank are formed of a clear, transparent material. A mouthpiece at the outer periphery of the holder is formed of a resin material having the same color as the ink held in the ink tank or having the same color as the written ink. The barrel cylinder may have a partition wall, positioned near to the center, on the side (rear side) opposite to the position where the collector is arranged, forming an ink tank in a space inside the barrel between the rear end plate of the collector and the partition wall.
Abstract:
A free ink type writing instrument using an ink containing an organic solvent as a main solvent, wherein a temporary ink reservoir member has a larger critical surface tension than a surface tension of the ink, and an absolute value of a difference between values of solubility parameters of a material constituting the temporary ink reservoir member and a solvent contained in the ink is 1 or more.
Abstract:
A brush tip of a liquid applicator is provided with a predetermined thickness flange at its rear end, which flange is provided with a plurality a multiplicity of predetermined length projections at its rear surface, which projections are easily elastically deformable and disposed in a position opposite to that of a fibrous part of the brush tip. A method for producing such bruch tip of the liquid applicator is characterized by the use of a heating platen provided with a plurality of small holes at its front surface, in which small holes is inserted a part of a rear end portion of the brush tip and metled to form a plurality of projections while the remaining rear end portion of the brush tip is melted to form a flange.
Abstract:
A writing implement having a feeder core for feeding ink in an ink tank to a pen tip and an ink collector in which a plurality of comb-tooth like elements formed with an air-liquid exchange groove are arranged at intervals in a feeder core axial direction. An ink holding plate is provided so as to face a rear end face of the ink collector in such a manner as to form a gap for holding the ink in the ink tank by way of the capillary phenomenon between the ink holding plate an the rear end face. A plurality of air exchange grooves in which ink flows and is discharged in an amount responding to a change in pressure in the ink tank into and from grooves between the comb-tooth like elements which are formed between an outer edge portion of the comb-tooth like element and a feeder core contact.
Abstract:
The object is to provide a writing instrument in which a large-diametric ink retaining portion with narrow grooves in width and still capable of securing a large enough air channel can be formed so that the replacement of the sufficient amount of air can be effected between the ink retaining portion and the outside air. To achieve this, in an ink retaining portion (12), a plurality of cutouts (32) are formed so that each cutout (32) is formed to a right angle direction with respect to a center line (16a) of the sheet element (16) with a length equal to or greater than half the radius (R) (A≧(R/2), B≧(R/2)) and that one end of the cutout (32) is extended to the periphery.
Abstract:
A hair cosmetics coating tool comprising a main cylindrical body, a liquid hair cosmetics storage part provided in the main cylindrical body, a brush provided at the top of the main cylindrical body, a supply device for supplying the liquid hair cosmetics from the storage part to the brush and a comb body provided adjacent to and along the brush.
Abstract:
In a liquid applicator provided with a brush tuft for applying a high-viscosity liquid such as nail polish, the liquid is supplied to the brush tuft through a guide pipe a front half of which is axially slidably received in the brush tuft to make it possible that the liquid is supplied to an appropriate position in the vicinity of a tip portion of the brush tuft so as to improve application efficiency of the liquid.
