(57) A liquid applicator device and the method of making the applicator device is disclosed
for applying a liquid such as a paint, a perfume, a chemical, a coating or the like
to a surface by writing, marking or painting. The liquid applicator device includes
a container for the liquid and an applicator dispensing mechanism. The applicator
dispensing mechanism includes an inner subassembly having a valve and an outer subassembly
having the surface applicator. The valve regulates the flow of the liquid from the
container to the surface applicator. The valve of the applicator device may be opened
to allow the liquid to flow from the container to the surface applicator upon depression
of the surface applicator or upon depression of a valve actuator. The liquid applicator
device incorporates an improved sealing member for sealing with the sides of the surface
applicator for reducing the flow of the applicator liquid along the side of the surface
applicator. The surface applicator may be in the form of a fiber tip, a brush or similar
applicator. The applicator dispensing mechanism may be fabricated independent of the
attachment to the container.
