Abstract

A container of a liquid applicator containing a liquid, and an applicator member is held on the container for applying the liquid to an objective part. The applicator member is mounted for movement into and out of the container and a biasing member is provided to bias the applicator member outwardly of the container. When the applicator member is pressed into the container against the force of the biasing member, the liquid is caused to exude to the surface of the applicator member outside the container. Therefore, it is possible to provide a liquid applicator which has a container of any desired volume and made of a rigid and hard material and which allows only the liquid to exude to the outer surface of the container and be spread properly and effectively over an objective part.
