ABSTRACT:
A device for taking up a fluid present on a flexible surface includes a support member and a fluid-passage member; the support member includes an opening portion having an end surface defining an abutment surface adapted to be held in abutment with the flexible surface; the fluid-passage member includes an aperture and is disposed within the opening portion of the support member; the fluid-passage member has an opening end defining an inlet, and is constructed to permit the fluid to flow thereinto by capillarity; the opening end having an end face is disposed inside with respect to the abutment surface of the support member and is positioned such that, when the abutment surface of the support member is brought into abutment with the flexible surface, only the fluid present thereon is brought into contact with the end face.
