Description

A known device for applying water for cleaning to glass panes consists of a container for receiving the cleaning water and a cover plate made of plastic which closes the container and is provided with a number of perforations and on which a support made of an absorbent material protruding over the edge of the container is arranged under a slip lid. The known device has the disadvantage that the water in the container can flow out through the openings in the end plate when the container is in an inclined or upside-down position and the device filled with water is consequently unsuitable for shipping. Another disadvantage of the known device is that water in the container can flow out in an uncontrollable amount through the openings in the end plate and the device is therefore unsuitable for purposes in which it is important to apply a possibly expensive treatment substance as thinly as possible to the surface to apply.

The invention relates to an apparatus of the type described above for applying liquids Means for cleaning, polishing or the like on smooth surfaces, in particular panes of glass, such as those described Does not have any disadvantages. To eliminate the disadvantages, the cover plate is made of plastic a push-out surface created, which when pushed out an outlet opening of predetermined Size releases. This is based on the one known for storage containers made of thin sheet metal Measure to delimit an area determined as a later opening by a score line, through which the metal is cut or scratched to a certain depth, whereby the The possibility is created of indenting the area bounded by the score line in order to produce an opening and turn into the inside of the container. This known measure is because of the other Material properties of plastic cannot be easily transferred to plastic containers. It has shown, however, and this is where the invention lies, that one can also have a push-out surface with plastic can create if you have a later opening delimiting zone of reduced in the cover plate Wall thickness in the form of an annular surface.

The invention offers the possibility of pushing out the plastic cover plate the area bounded by the annular surface of reduced wall thickness has a predetermined opening produce, which is dimensioned in shape and size so that the container contents are not in Hand-held device for applying liquids

has been named as the inventor

uncontrolled amount, but only under the action of when squeezing and re-expanding the suction created by the sponge escapes. For better distribution, in the end plate still radially outgoing from the annular surface delimiting the opening surface Grooves be arranged. Furthermore, brush ribs made of rubber or on the outside of the container bottom Hard plastic can be provided for wiping or polishing after the contents of the container have been applied can be used on the area.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing, for example. In

The device shown in the drawing consists of a container 1, an end plate 2, a layer of sponge 5 and a slip lid 9.

In the example, the container 1 has one after externally offset edge 3, so that inside a support for the end plate 2 is formed, which after filling of the container is attached to the application means on the support edge, so that a tight seal is guaranteed. The plate can be attached by welding or gluing. Of the The container is designed so that it can be easily grasped and held by hand. the Sponge layer 4, which can be made of rubber, foam or the like, is on the top in a suitable manner the plate 2 attached. It rests against the expanded edge part 3 of the container and protrudes above Piece over the edge of the container. It can be attached to the end plate in a suitable manner, for example by gluing or done in that they are with the container edge or with the Disc is welded at the edge.

In the middle of the end plate 2 is according to the invention a circular area 7 bounded by an annular surface 10 of reduced wall thickness, through which Pressing in an opening predetermined in its diameter can be produced. It is advisable, the indentable surface 7 on the surface of the sponge layer 4 by a mark, for example a circular line 6 to be identified. Any tool can be used to press the surface 7 Kind, for example a pen can be used.

In the case of the example, in the end plate 2 there are also distribution grooves extending from the annular surface 10 11 provided. The arrangement and number of such grooves can of course also be one other than be shown.

On the underside of the container bottom, in the device shown, there are also spreading ribs 14 Made of rubber, semi-hard plastic or the like. Provided with a narrow brushed edge 15. These string ribs sit in the example in longitudinal grooves 12, which are arranged in thickening strips on the floor 13 are arranged. The shape and the dimensions of the stroking ribs can be selected as required.

The container filled with an application agent is absolutely tight and can consequently in can be sent or kept in any location. If it is to be put into use, it is simply a matter of fact required to remove the cover 9 and any suitable tool on the with a Circle 6 or the like to set on the sponge layer 4 marked point and press it down. Through this the surface 7 is made up of the association with the cover disk, which is effected only by the thin annular surface 10 pushed out and as a result created an outlet opening for the container contents. By repeated compression of the sponge layer with the container turned upside down causes a controlled amount of the application agent exits into the sponge layer and by brushing on a Surface can be applied. For commissioned work, you can press and Allowing the sponge layer to re-expand causes further application of material into the sponge got. In the event that the container is provided with brush ribs on the bottom, he can after Application can be reversed again and can also be used to remove the application or for polishing. Otherwise you can use any other tool for this purpose.
