Abstract
A liquid applicator includes a tubular casing, a liquid holding member, and a support member. The support member whose modulus of elasticity is smaller than that of the liquid holding member is provided between a bottom end portion of the liquid holding member and a bottom wall of the casing. The support is formed such that at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the support member is in pressing contact with an inner circumferential surface of the casing and that the support member is compressively deformable in an axial direction thereof while being held tightly between the liquid holding member and the bottom wall of the casing. Accordingly, the liquid holding member can be reliably supported in the casing.
