Abstract

A device (10) for a liquid application includes a liquid container (11), a hollow tubular liquid conduit (15) for liquid to pass to an applicator (16) secured to an applicator support (19). The applicator (16) includes a plate (20) with a hole (21) and a porous foam material (23) glued to the plate (20) above the hole (21). The applicator (16) is secured to the applicator support (19) by a ledge (39) with the holding lip (41) at three sides of the applicator support (19) and by a latching rib (42) on the fourth side. A set of the applicators (16) with different sizes of the holes (21) is provided to replace applicator (16) in use, if a different flow rate is desired or if the original applicator becomes unusable.
