An applicator for dispensing fluids e.g. shoe cream or waterproof boot cleaner, onto a surface, comprises a nozzle (7), and a plurality of brush filaments (3) mounted in a brush area generally in the region of and preferably surrounding the nozzle. The brush filaments are arranged and adapted to encourage the liquid being dispensed to flow to outer end sections of the filaments for application to the surface as required. Preferably the brush filaments are longer than the nozzle e.g. twice to four times as long. These relative lengths, together with the thickness, flexibility, surface friction and density of the filaments is chosen to suit the viscosity of the liquid being dispensed. The applicator avoids the problem of clogging and tearing in known devices which use sponges. <IMAGE> |
