Abstract
An implement for applying a liquid includes a container for holding liquid, the container having a front end which is open and a front tube mounted on the front end of the container. The front tube has a forward outlet opening. A hollow accommodating member has an interior chamber, the accommodating member having a rear opening communicating the interior chamber with the container and a forward opening communicating the interior chamber with the front tube. A liquid feed member is movably disposed in the interior chamber between a closed position in which the liquid feed member engages the forward opening to block off communication between the interior chamber and the front tube and an open position in which the liquid feed member is disengaged from the forward opening. An end valve is axially movable in the front tube between a closed position and an open position and an open position. An applicator is mounted on the end valve. The liquid feed member is constructed such that when the implement is axially shaken, the liquid feed member temporarily moves from its closed position to its open position to pass liquid from the interior chamber of the accommodating member to the applicator.
