Liquid-applying device

Abstract

A liquid-applying device is provided, which does not allow the contents to touch the skin of the head when the contents are applied to the hair. The volume of liquid to be discharged from this device can be controlled. The comb attachment is small and can be dismounted. After the use, inside flow passage can be closed. Even if this device is used with a tubular container having the force of recovery, the container is prevented from taking in outside air (oxygen, etc.), and thus, is protected against dust and/or bacteria in the air. The liquid-applying device comprises a tubular container, a connecting/discharging unit, and a comb attachment. The connecting/discharging unit has a cylindrical passage and a fitting cylinder that can be fitted to the neck of the tubular container. The comb attachment comprises a comb shaft fitted detachably to the connecting/discharging unit and a row of teeth disposed along one side of the comb shaft and extending laterally. At the front and the rear of the row, there is a pair of solid teeth, which sandwiches a row of liquid-applying teeth, each liquid-applying tooth having discharge ports opened at the tip. The solid teeth at the front and the rear are taller than the row of liquid-applying teeth. An inside plug is fitted to the tubular container, and the connecting cylinder of the connecting/discharging unit is used to open or close the passage holes of the inside plug. In an embodiment, a valve unit is installed inside the tubular container.
