Definitions

  • This invention concerns a table sponge with adjustable moistness.
  • the invention concerns a table sponge of the type which can be used in offices to moisten the edges. of envelopes, stamps and strips of sticky paper with pre- applied glue, etc.
  • table sponges are used a great deal everywhere.
  • Traditional table sponges tend to become dry in rather. a short time and also tend to have a varying degree of moistness over a period of time, depending on the room temperat- ture and the use made of them.
  • These devices generally have one compartment for containing water and another compartment for housing a sponge which sponge is dampened by wick means extending into the water compartment and there being generally provided moving means for expressing the water from either said wick or similar means or from the water compartment into the sponge compartment or into the sponge itself.
  • the invention tends to lessen and eliminate these short-. comings and at the same time enables a table sponge to be obtained which is extremely functional and keeps the desired degree of moistness in the long term and is able to carry out various differentiated tasks such as moistening stamps and moistening the edges of envelopes or strips of pre- glued sticky paper.
  • the sponge unit of the invention consists substantially of a vessel with two compartments, in one of which the actual sponge itself is lodged, whereas a container of water turned upside down with its outlet below is introduced into the other compartment.
  • Distancing means which determine the vertical position of said container can thereby condition the level of liquid. present in the vessel.
  • the sponge comprises advantageously a hollow in which a moistening roller can be lodged of which the lower part cooperates constantly with the hollow in the sponge so that the. sponge transmits to the roller the film of water needed for moistening purposes.
  • the table sponge unit 10 comprises a back element 23 consisting of the tank, which has at least one substantially transparent zone that. is able to show outwards the level 26 of liquid it still holds.
  • the sponge 20 which can comprise at one side an emerging roller 19 partly. contained in the sponge.
  • Fig. 2 gives a knock-down view of the various components. of the table sponge unit 10.
  • the sponge unit 10 consists of a vessel 11 comprising two compartments, respectively 12 to lodge the tank 23 and . 13 to hold the actual sponge itself 20.
  • the two compartments communicate with each other at least near the bottom of the vessel 11 through one or more communicating holes 24.
  • One or more positioning pins 16 are in the compartment 12 holding the tank and cooperate with one or more removable distancing means 15 so as to lift the tank 23 from the bottom of the vessel 11 to determine in this way the level of the . water within the vessel itself.
  • the vessel 11 may comprise a possible wall 17 suitable . for the attachment of advertisements or other notices.
  • At least one wall element is advantageously located be- . tween the compartments 12-13 and may comprise a suitable seating 18 to support a roller, whereby said seating or seatings 18 are comprised in said intermediate wall and in the outer. edge cooperating with said wall.
  • the sponge 20 comprises advantageously a hollow 21 for the roller 19, and said roller 19 can be lodged therein 21; the periphery of said roller 19 cooperates with the bottom of the hollow 21 and thus enables a film of water to be transferred from the sponge 20 to the periphery of said roller 19.
  • An auxiliary pad 22 may also be envisaged as cooperating with the sponge 20 whenever it is not wished to employ the roller 19. In this latter case the sponge can be fitted upside down, but it is best to provide the auxiliary pad 22 so as to ensure continuity of moistness of the whole surface.
  • the sponge together with the auxiliary pad 22 can be turned upside down and maintain a continuity of surface and a ⁇ continuity of moistening action which might otherwise be lacking if the hollow 21 were left empty.
  • the tank 23 comprises one or more discharge holes 24 and all its six sides are closed apart from said discharge holes 24.
  • the . latter is turned upside down with its hole 24 at its bottom. and is introduced into the compartment 12 lodging said tank, where the presence of the distancing means 15 determines the amounts of water which can leave before the discharge hole . 24 is shut and the entry of air into said tank is blocked..
  • tank 23 which, as we have said, should comprise advantageously at least one vertical transparent zone so that the water level 26 can be seen, is able to keep the moistness of the sponge constant at all times since the level of liquid inside the vessel 11 is kept constant.
  • the ratio between the size of the tank 23 and the size of the vessel 11 determines a considerable duration of liquid and thus enables the liquid to be made up only at very long intervals.
  • the vessel 11 can have a conformation which is not- perfectly parallelepiped, and the edges or corners can be . rounded or have a polygonal conformation.
  • the axis of the roller 19 is not substantially at right angles to the surface of the tank 23 as shown in the figures but is parallel to the surface of the tank 23.
