Patent attributes
To prevent leakage, excessive discharge and stagnation of a liquid material applied by an applicator, the applicator comprises a core member 2 having a hole portion 2a, a projection portion 2f and a communication hole 2j, an application member 3 made of an elastic material having a discharge hole 3f, and an inside space 4 between the front end side of the core member 2 and the application member 3, and structured such that the liquid material flows to the discharge hole 3f through a roundabout way via the hole portion 2a, the communication hole 2j and the inside space 4 to cause fluid resistance and that the front face of the projection portion 2f is close to or in contact with the discharge hole 3f to control discharge port of the liquid material.
