Abstract
An applicator device for high or low viscosity liquids essentially comprises a container (R) having a plunger (2) which can be operated by turning a rod (3), whereby the liquid in the container is squeezed out into an applicator brush (4). Said rod (3) is hollow and carries the brush (4) at one of its ends (3b) while the other end (3a) is immersed in the container (R). Between these ends, it passes through the plunger (2) and is in engagement therewith via a screw thread (3c). Said rod (3) is rotated by a ratchet wheel (10) controlled by a side push-button (6). The applicator device allows a viscous product such as nail varnish to be delivered, for example to a brush.
