Liquid applicator

摘要

A liquid applicator is disclosed comprising a liquid container and a liquid dispensing mechanism having a valve element enabling an axial displacement of an applicator tip to move the valve element into the open position for enabling the applicator tip to apply the liquid to a surface. The improvement comprises an applicator closure having a closure coupling for coupling the applicator closure to a peripheral rim of a container. An optional shield may be secured to the applicator closure for providing protection between the applicator tip and an operator grasping the liquid container.

1. .A liquid applicator comprising a liquid container having a peripheral rim and a liquid dispensing mechanism, the liquid dispensing mechanism having a valve element movably disposed between an open position and a closed position for controlling the flow of an applicator liquid from the liquid container, the liquid dispensing mechanism further comprising a valve body defining a hollow cylindrical portion for supporting an applicator tip with an inner end of the applicator tip communicating with the valve element disposed within the valve body enabling an axial displacement of the applicator tip to move the valve element into the open position for enabling, the applicator tip to apply the liquid to a surface, a valve body shoulder formed on an outer surface of the valve body of the liquid dispensing mechanism;
the improvement comprising: an applicator closure having an inner wall having a closure annular ring extending from said inner wall of said applicator closure engaging with the valve body shoulder of said valve body for affixing the liquid dispensing mechanism to said applicator closure; and a closure coupling for coupling the applicator closure to the peripheral rim of the liquid container.
