Abstract

The invention relates to a cream applicator for footwear, comprising a discoid base (1). One of the faces of the aforementioned base is provided with a rim (3) which holds a cylindrical spongy component in place, while the other face thereof comprises a diametrical bridge-type grip element (2). The lower part of said bridge defines a hole (4) comprising a central raised area (5), such that it can be gripped with two fingers. The aforementioned grip element (2), which consist of a rigid part comprising three arcs and a central raised area (6), is made from a thin discoid part (8) comprising two opposing semi-circular wings (9,10) which extend out from a diametrical segment (11) and which are articulated to same by means of two bend lines (12,13). Moreover, said wing comprise aligned holes which are used to fix the device thereto and pairs of symmetrical lugs (16,17) (fig. 1,2 and 3). <IMAGE>

Description

Aplicador de crema para calzado.Cream applicator for footwear.

La presente invención se refiere a un aplicador de cremas para el calzado.The present invention relates to an applicator of footwear creams.

Se conocen diferentes dispositivos para la aplicación de cremas abrillantadoras y/o colorantes a los zapatos, artículos de piel y similares, que presentan ciertas dificultades en la sujeción del componente portador del producto a aplicar, creando problemas en la operación citada.Different devices are known for application of polishing creams and / or dyes to shoes, leather goods and the like, which present certain difficulties in holding the carrier component of the product to be applied, creating problems in the aforementioned operation.

Un aplicador de crema del tipo que se describe en la reivindicación 1, es conocido, por ejemplo, por el documento ES-U-1021353.A cream applicator of the type described in claim 1, it is known, for example, from the document ES-U-1021353.

El nuevo aplicador de cremas para el calzado y similares elimina los inconvenientes antedichos y asegura la posibilidad de una cómoda sujeción del componente portador del producto en orden a su función prevista. El dispositivo comprende una base discoidal con una cara operativa y una cara provista de un elemento de sujeción y manejo.The new cream applicator for footwear and similar eliminates the above-mentioned inconveniences and ensures the possibility of comfortable clamping of the carrier component of the product in order to its intended function. The device comprises a discoidal base with an operative face and a face provided with a clamping and handling element.

Para facilitar la explicación, se acompaña la presente descripción de unos dibujos en los que se ha representado, a título de ejemplo ilustrativo y no limitativo, un caso de realización de un aplicador de cremas para el calzado según los principios de las reivindicaciones.To facilitate the explanation, the present description of some drawings in which it has been represented, by way of illustrative and non-limiting example, a case of realization of a cream applicator for footwear according to principles of the claims.

La figura 1 representa una versión del aplicador del tipo que se describe, visto en perspectiva por su parte lateral y superior.Figure 1 represents a version of the applicator of the type described, seen in perspective from its side and higher

Las figuras 2 y 3 muestran otra versión del aplicador en sendas posiciones límites de unas aletas formantes del elemento de sujeción.Figures 2 and 3 show another version of the applicator in both limit positions of forming fins of the clamping element

Los elementos designados con números en los dibujos corresponden a las partes indicadas a continuación.The designated elements with numbers in the Drawings correspond to the parts indicated below.

El nuevo aplicador de productos cremosos y similares comprende esencialmente una base discoidal 1 y un elemento sujetador 2 derivado de dicha base.The new creamy product applicator and similarly comprises essentially a discoidal base 1 and a fastener element 2 derived from said base.

La base 1 presenta en una de sus caras un reborde 3 para la retención de un componente esponjoso de forma preferentemente cilíndrica (no representado), portador de la crema o producto a aplicar, y en su otra cara el elemento de sujeción 2.The base 1 presents in one of its faces a flange 3 for the retention of a spongy component of shape preferably cylindrical (not shown), cream carrier or product to be applied, and on its other side the fastener 2.

El elemento 2 presenta forma general de un puente diametral que define una abertura 4 en su parte inferior de forma alargada transversal y con una elevación central 5 que facilita su prensión mediante dos dedos de la mano del usuario, por ejemplo, el pulgar y el índice.Element 2 presents a general form of a diametral bridge that defines an opening 4 in its lower part of elongated transverse shape and with a central elevation 5 that facilitates its grip by two fingers of the user's hand, by example, thumb and forefinger.

En la versión de la figura 1, el elemento sujetador 2 consiste en un puente simétrico de tres arcos con una elevación central 6 y dos montantes 7 derivados de la base 1.In the version of figure 1, the element Bra 2 consists of a symmetric bridge with three arches and a central elevation 6 and two uprights 7 derived from base 1.

En la versión de las figuras 2 y 3, el elemento 2 consiste en una pieza discoidal delgada 8 formante de dos aletas semicirculares 9 y 10 en oposición, derivadas de una zona diametral 11 y articuladas a la misma mediante líneas de flexión 12 y 13. Ambas aletas presentan aberturas 14 y 15 en correspondencia para definir la zona de sujeción del dispositivo, y sendos pares de tetones 16 y 17 en simetría.In the version of figures 2 and 3, the element 2 consists of a thin discoidal piece 8 with two fins semicircular 9 and 10 in opposition, derived from a diametral zone 11 and articulated thereto by bending lines 12 and 13. Both fins have openings 14 and 15 in correspondence to define the area of attachment of the device, and two pairs of studs 16 and 17 in symmetry.

Esta segunda versión permite, como enseñan las figuras 2 y 3, que el elemento sujetador 2 adopte una posición plegada y de reposo, con las aletas 9 y 10 abatidas sobre la base 1, o desplegada y de utilización, con las aletas levantadas, perpendiculares a dicha base 1.This second version allows, as the Figures 2 and 3, that the fastener element 2 take a position folded and resting, with fins 9 and 10 folded on the base 1, or deployed and for use, with the fins raised, perpendicular to said base 1.

En este último caso, los tetones 16 y 17 actúan de topes en la yuxtaposición de las aletas levantadas.In the latter case, the lugs 16 and 17 act of stops in the juxtaposition of the raised fins.
