  • Applicator tip for liquid applicator device
    Patent number: 6641320
    Abstract: A liquid applicator device comprising an applicator liquid container and a liquid dispensing mechanism. The device has a valve element movable disposed between an open position and a closed position for controlling the flow of the applicator liquid from the container. The liquid dispensing mechanism has a hollow cylindrical portion for supporting an applicator tip. The inner end of the applicator tip communicates with the valve element. An axial displacement of the applicator tip moves the valve element into the open position for enabling the applicator liquid to migrate through the applicator tip for applying the liquid to a surface. The improvement comprises a recess cooperating with a retainer for preventing the removal of the applicator tip from the liquid applicator device.
