Abstract: An applicator tip assembly including a body adapted to be secured to a fluid filled housing and having a through opening through which the fluid is dispensed and an applicator member positioned within the through opening and normally biased by a coil spring into sealing engagement against walls of the body defining an outlet for the through opening. The through opening in the body is partially defined by longitudinally extending radially inwardly projecting spaced fins, and the coil spring has a compressible portion between and guided for longitudinal movement by the fins ajacent the applicator member, and an anchor portion at the end of the compressible portion opposite the applicator member in firm thread-like engagement with the inner edges of the fins. Portion of the through opening defined between the fins afford easy passage of fluid around the spring in the through opening.

Abstract: A pen-like instrument for dispensing correction fluid comprising an elongate housing, a bag of thin flexible polymeric film material containing correction fluid within a cavity in the housing, and an applicator tip assembly comprising a body secured to the housing and the bag and having a through opening through which the correction fluid is dispensed when an applicator member positioned within the through opening separated from a lip on the body against the bias of a spring.
