Abstract
Provided is an application tool that allows reduction of an amount of waste by using no masking sheets, and can easily form a coated portion such as an antislip protrusion with reduced variation in a short time period. The application tool includes a support plate and a plurality of application bodies disposed at the support plate so as to protrude with height positions of the tips aligned with each other. A tip recess is disposed at the tip portion of each of the plurality of the application bodies as a holding recess for holding coating liquid.
Claims9
An application tool comprising:
- a support plate;
- a plurality of application bodies disposed at the support plate so as to protrude, and
- a guide member,
- wherein each of the plurality of application bodies has, at a tip portion thereof, a holding recess capable of holding coating
- wherein the plurality of application bodies are disposed at the support plate so as to be movable in an up-down direction, and urged toward lower limit positions constantly and separately,
- wherein the guide member is disposed so that a lower end portion of the guide member is movable in the up-down direction between an upper position and a lower position below the lower end portion of a corresponding one of the application bodies, and an urging member for constantly urging the guide member toward the lower position thereof is provided, and
- wherein the application tool body is aligned with and placed on a to-be-coated surface, and the application tool body is pressed downward to allow the guide member to be moved relatively upward against an urging force of the urging member, thereby allowing the application body to be moved downward, so that the coating liquid held at the application body is applied to the to-be-coated surface, while the guide member remains seated onto the to-be-coated surface.
