Abstract

An applicator implement includes an applicator body formed with a flat applying surface in an applying part; and, an applicator cover that is attached to the applicator body to cover the applying part, formed with a slit that creates communication from the outside to the inside. Under the condition in which the applicator cover covers the applying part, the applying surface of the applying part is positioned inside the slit so that the applying surface can apply the manicure paint liquid to the tip of a nail in a uniform width by inserting the tip of nail through the slit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An applicator implement that enables application of an application liquid to a target object by bringing an applying part of an applicator body impregnated with the application liquid into contact with the target object, comprising:
 an applicator body formed with a flat applying surface in an applying part; and,   an applicator cover that is attached to the applicator body to cover the applying part, formed with a slit that creates communication from an outside to an inside,   
       wherein
 under a condition in which the applicator cover covers the applying part, the applying surface of the applying part is positioned inside the slit so that the applying surface can apply an application liquid to a predetermined portion of a target object by inserting a target object through the slit. 
 
     
     
         2 . The applicator implement according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator body is formed by a fabric body shaped by using fibers and resin. 
     
     
         3 . The applicator implement according to  claim 1 , which is an applicator implement for French nails wherein a front end part of the applicator body is formed with the applying surface extending in an axial direction of the applicator body so that a tip of a nail can be placed through the slit and applied with the application liquid in a predetermined width by means of the applying surface. 
     
     
         4 . The applicator implement according to  claim 1 , wherein a depressed step is formed in the approximate center of the applicator body in the axial direction so that the step is housed inside a barrel cylinder when the applicator cover is assembled to cover the applicator body. 
     
     
         5 . The applicator implement according to  claim 2 , wherein in addition to the slit, another hole for exposing an external surface of the applicator body is provided for the applicator cover so that the exposed external surface of the applicator body can be used for painting the target when the applicator cover is fitted on the applicator body. 
     
     
         6 . The applicator implement according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the applicator cover has a rear opening through which the applicator body can be inserted, and two slits different in depth, formed on a front end,   the front end of the applying part of the applicator body is cut out, foaming two applying surfaces opposing inwardly each other,   the applying surfaces appear from respective slits of the applicator cover when the applicator body is inserted in the applicator cover,   wide enough gaps that allow a nail to be inserted through the slit between the applying surfaces are formed, whereby only one side of a nail tip can be painted by the appeared applying surface, and,   selecting one of the two slits allows for drawing lines having different widths from each other for French nails.   
     
     
         7 . The applicator implement according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the applicator cover has a rear opening through which the applicator body can be inserted, and two slits different in depth, formed on a front end,   outsides of the front end of the applying part of the applicator body are formed with two applying surfaces having a distance between each other,   the applying surfaces appear from respective slits of the applicator cover when the applicator body is inserted in the applicator cover,   wide enough gaps that allow a nail to be inserted between a U-shape and an exposed fabric body are created, whereby only one side of a nail tip can be painted by the facing applying surface, and,   selecting one of the two slits allows for drawing of lines having different widths from each other for French nails.   
     
     
         8 . The applicator implement according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator body is covered by a front barrel located in front and the applicator cover in front of the front barrel, the applicator cover is removable from the front barrel, and the applicator body is also removable. 
     
     
         9 . The applicator implement according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator body is covered by a front barrel located in front and the applicator cover in front of the front barrel, and the applicator cover and the front barrel are formed integrally. 
     
     
         10 . The applicator implement according to  claim 1 , wherein a material of the applicator cover is a high polymer plastic or metal. 
     
     
         11 . An applicator implement that enables application of an application liquid to a target object by bringing an applying part of an applicator body impregnated with the application liquid into contact with the target object, comprising:
 an applicator body formed with a slit on a surface of an applying part,   
       wherein
 a front end part of the applicator body is formed with an applying surface extending in an axial direction of the applicator body so that a tip of a nail can be placed through the slit and applied with an application liquid in a predetermined width by means of the applying surface.
