FLOOR WAXING DEVICE Filed Deo. 6. 1954 [f7 Ver? Z-or: Hee/en L. D1' pubb@ by M M Her* Attorneys.
United States Patent() v FLOOR WAXING DEVICE Helen L. Di Rubbo, Albany, N. Y.
Application December 6, 1954, Serial No. 47 3,264
1 Claim. (Cl. 15-131) This invention relates to improvements in floor waxing devices, having particular reference to a fiat-bottom container for liquid wax provided on its rear wall with a filling spout mounting a closure cap with handle means thereon to actuate the container, and a front wall to dispense the wax against a pad to saturate the same, and the provision of such a device is the principal object of the invention.
Generally, it is an object of the invention to provide such a device that is economical of manufacture, simple, yet sturdy and durable of construction, easily and readily manipulated, and otherwise well suited to the purpose for which it is intended.
More specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide such a device comprising a suitable flat-bottom container for holding a quantity of liquid wax, an upwardly extending filling spout or neck connected to the rear wall of the container, a wax ejecting or dispensing port or aperture on the front of the container, preferably immediately adjacent the top thereof and opposite the spout, a pad or cloth holding means disposed above the port, as well as on the rear wall of the container below the spout, a waxing pad secured between such means across the port and around the fiat-bottom of the container, and a handle connected to the spout, preferably by means of a closure cap, to actuate the container in order that wax ejected or dispensed from the port will soak into and through the pad whereby the wax can be spread along a floor surface.
Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties, and the relation of elements which will be exemplified in the article hereinafter described and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claim.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. l is a top View, with part of the handle broken away, of a device embodied by the invention;
Fig. 2 is an end elevational view of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken along the lines 3-3 of Fig. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrows;
Fig. 4 is an elevational view of the front wall of the container with a portion of the pad broken away; and
Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a fragmentary portion of a waxing pad illustrating a preferred form of fastening means therefor.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, there is illustrated generally at a preferred embodiment of the device constituting the invention, constituting a at-bottorn container for holding a quantity of liquid wax that is rectangular in cross-section. Such container is provided with opposite parallel end walls 11 and 12, a top wall 13 and an opposite at bottom wall 14 that is "ice parallel thereto. The remaining walls of the container comprise opposed parallel side walls which herein are referred to as a rear wall 15 and a front Wall 16.
Upwardly extending from the rear wall is a filling spout indicated generally at 17 comprising a neck 18 preferably provided with an external screwthread 19. An internally threaded closure cap or coupling 20, provided with a suitable washer, is connected to the bottom of an elongated handle 21.
An ejecting or dispensing port, preferably a-row of perforations 22 extend along the front wall adjacent the top wall 13. Along the top wall adjacent the perforations 22 are secured male snap-fastener members 23 and similar members 24 are located on the rear wall 15 below the filling spout 17.
A waxing pad, preferably in the form of a rectangularly shaped cloth 25, is provided at opposite ends with a plurality of female snap- fastener members 26 and 27 so that the same can removably be mounted around the front and bottom of the container. The pad or cloth 25 can first be secured at either end, that is, by engaging the male snap-fastener members 23 with the female snap-fastener members 26, wrapping the cloth downwardly across the perforations 22, around the flat bottom 14, and then engaging the male snap-fastener members 24 with the female snap-fastener members 27; or, the members 24 and 27 first can be snap-fastened into position, and the members 23 and 26 snap-fastenered into position thereafter.
In operation, the container is first filled with liquid wax 28 from any type of liquid wax holding can by pouring it through the spout 17, the closure cap 20 with the attached handle 21 secured in position and the same is ready for use. The container initially may be tilted so that a given amount of the wax 28 passes through the perforations 22 initially to saturate the cloth 25. The device is then actuated or reciprocated across a Hoor surface to deposit and spread the wax from the cloth. As the device is actuated, liquid wax will continue to slough through the perforations 22 and keep the cloth saturated.
Such a ydevice has many advantages. For example, the cloth or pad 25 can readily be removed, washed and replaced. It does away wtih the necessity for spilling wax on floors and spreading the same with conventional waxing mops or pads which is a messy procedure at best. The device is economical in use, since only so much of the wax that is needed can be deposited on the floor as the same is used. Also, by tightening or loosening the closure cap 20 some degree of flow of the wax through the perforations 22 can be obtained.
It will thus be seen that the objects hereinbefore set forth may readily and efficiently be attained, and since certain changes may be made in the above article and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claim is intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and al1 statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.
Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A device of the character described for waxing floors comprising a rectangularly shaped single container for holding a quantity of wax, said container having opposite parallel end walls, front and rear walls, and top and flat bottom walls; an angularly disposed upwardly extending lling spout connected centrally of the rear wall and terminating in an external screw thread; an elongated handle for actuating said container; an internally threaded coupling carried by `said handle at one end thereof and detachably engaged with said first named screw thread rigidly to connect said handle coaxially with said spout and to provide a closure cap therefor; a wax e'jecting port consisting of an aligned row of perforations extending marginally adjacent the top edge of the front wall and whose axes are parallel with the flat bottom and remain so positioned at all times as the latter is recprocated in face-to-face Contact with a oor to be waxed; a rectangularly shaped, washable waxing Cloth of a width greater than that of the container and of a length extending from along the entire front marginal edge of the top wall across said perforations, front Wall and bottom wall, terminating along the entire bottom marginal edge of the rear wall below said spout, and extending laterally beyond both end walls throughout its length; and means to fasten said cloth on said container in said position.
