Abstract: The present invention relates to an applicator for applying a liquid such as floor wax. When an operator adjusts a handle-mounted valve, drops of wax fall down from tube-shaped nozzles arranged in an equidistant relationship on the base of the applicator. The wax is supplied from a bag-shaped container mounted on an intermediate portion of the handle and flows down to the nozzles via filters, an adjusting valve, a distributing chamber and discharge passages. When the applicator is not in use, it is placed on a tray which keeps the base moist with a cloth tightly stretched on the base of the applicator. Steam fills the space between the cloth and the base to prevent solidification of the wax.
