Liquid applying apparatus and ink jet printing apparatus

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid applying apparatus which can prevent an applying liquid from evaporating while an applying operation is at a stop and which can reliably prevent the liquid from leaking even when for example, the posture of the apparatus is tilted. Thus, according to the present invention, an abutting member (2009) of a holding member (2003) is abutted, under an urging force of a spring (2006), against an applying surface of an applying roller (1001). Thus, a liquid holding space (S) is formed between the applying roller (1001) and a holding member (2001) to hold the applying liquid. The abutting member (2010) is annularly formed of a single member. The applying roller (1001) rotates to cause the applying liquid held in the holding space (S) to adhere to an outer peripheral surface of the applying roller (2001). The applying liquid is then applied to the applying medium (P).
