Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the applying of wax at a location requiring glossing such as floor of an automobile or a building by providing a rotatively driven rotary coater and a wax container to feed liquid wax in the wax container forcibly to the rotary coater with a force feeder. SOLUTION: In a wax container 2, the body 11 of the container 2 is mounted on a support part 15 of a case body 14 of a common drive part 4 and as the amount of liquid wax in the container body 11 decreases, an internal lid is forced to the outlet side of the container body 11. A force feeder 3 using a gear pump is provided to feed the liquid wax in the wax container and is driven by the common drive part 4 together with a rotary coater 1. In other words, the moment a motor 29 is run to turn the rotary coater 1 through a rotating shaft 8, the gear pump is rotated to drip the liquid wax to the rotary coater 1 through a path 7 in the rotating shaft 8.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wax applicator used for applying liquid wax to automobiles, floors of buildings and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the following methods have been used to polish a floor in an automobile or a building by polishing. . Rinse the floor of cars and buildings with water to wash away mud, sand, etc. . Wipe off the water with a clean cloth. . Apply either solid or liquid wax to a sponge or cloth and apply it to the painted surface of the floor in cars and buildings. . After the applied wax is slightly dried, wipe it off with a dry cloth to finish polishing. As a result, the floor of the car or building becomes glossy and has a shiny surface.

[0003]

A car polisher as shown in FIG. 8 can be used in the above working steps. The car polisher rotates the polishing part B such as a buff by the motor in the case A, holds the two handles C and D with each hand and presses the polishing part B against the car, and is applied and dried first. The wax is wiped off and polished.

At first glance, this car polisher could be used for wax application, but it was difficult to apply wax to the polishing part because it was difficult to attach and supply the wax to the polishing part. . For this reason, conventionally, there is no choice but to apply wax by hand to the floor of an automobile or a building, which is troublesome and time-consuming.

A method of spraying liquid wax with an air gun can be considered in order to efficiently and quickly apply the wax. However, the method is suitable for applying to a large area, but when applying to a narrow area such as the floor of an automobile or a building, it is sprayed to an extra part and the desired application area is applied. The area around is dirty and it is difficult to clean it. In addition, there is a problem in that the waste of wax increases.

[0006]
