To provide a preferable applicator which is used with a fine needle array.SOLUTION: An applicator comprises: a plate member 12 having at least one opening; a block element, a holding element or bending element 14 which contacts an upper side surface 34 of the plate member, and is movable between first and second positions 38, 40; a plunger 16 on which at least one microspike may be held, the block element, the holding element or the bending element 14 holds the plunger 16; an energy storage element 20; and an actuation member 18 which has an external surface for applying force, and which has at least one surface mechanically connected to the block element, the holding element, or the bending element 14, in which, when force is applied to the external surface of the actuation member 18, the block element, holding element, or bending element 14 is moved from the first position 38 to the second position 40, thereby affecting to release of the energy storage element 20, in the applicator.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】微小針アレイとともに使用するために好適なアプリケータを提供する。【解決手段】少なくとも１つの開口部を有するプレート部材１２と、プレート部材の上側表面３４と接触し、第１の位置３８と第２の位置４０との間を移動可能である遮断または保持要素あるいは撓曲要素１４と、その上に少なくとも１つの微小突起が保持され得るプランジャ１６であって、遮断または保持要素あるいは撓曲要素１４は、プランジャを保持する、プランジャ１６と、エネルギー貯蔵要素２０と、力の適用のための外部表面を有し、かつ遮断または保持要素あるいは撓曲要素１４と機械的につながる少なくとも１つの表面を有する作動部材１８であって、力が作動部材１８の外部表面に加えられると、遮断または保持要素あるいは撓曲要素１４を第１の位置３８から第２の位置４０に移動させ、それによって、エネルギー貯蔵要素２０の解放に影響を及ぼす、アプリケータである。【選択図】図１
