Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a portable shoe polisher. In particular, a brush or sponge to remove dirt such as mud and dust from shoes, and shoe polish or shoe cream to apply after removing dirt.

Furthermore, after applying shoe polish, etc., the cloth for final polishing while spreading it on the surface of the shoes is stored rationally in the box body of -, and it is related to a simple and portable shoe polishing device that can be always carried in a pocket or bag. It is.

Conventional technology The general procedure for shoe polishing is to first remove dirt from the shoes, apply shoe polish or shoe cream,
After that, the shoe polish or shoe cream is spread on the shoe using a cloth, and the rubbing process consists of three steps: creating a glossy finish. Recently, various shoe polishes and shoe creams have been sold, and there are some that make shoes shine by simply applying the liquid to them, but making only the surface shine without removing dirt is a long-term problem.
However, the best way to do this is to follow the general steps mentioned above. By the way, if you want to polish your shoes using the above procedure, you will need to prepare a brush, shoe polish or shoe cream, and a cloth, and these tools are usually kept separately in a shoe cabinet at home. People often do a simple job of brushing their hair before going out. However, their shoes often get dirty after going out, and while they may consider hiring a professional shoe polisher, many people avoid doing so if they don't have to pay a fee to clean their shoes.
Under these circumstances, it would be extremely convenient to have a shoe polishing set that can be carried around at all times with a brush, shoe polish or shoe cream, and a cloth and can be used easily anywhere. However, I have never seen an idea for this type of portable shoe polishing device.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The purpose of this invention is to house the tools necessary for the above-mentioned shoe polishing procedure in a single box in order to solve the following technical problems. .

■ A brush or sponge for removing dirt from shoes, shoe polish or shoe cream, and a strip of cloth for spreading shoe polish and adding shine to shoes in one box.

(2) The box body must be small enough to be carried around in a person's pocket or bag.

■ Even if each tool is stored in a small box, each tool must be of sufficient size and structure to perform its functions.

■Each tool is built in so that it is easy to handle, and the user's hands are not soiled when using each tool.

■Shoe polish, shoe cream, and other dirt won't stain your pocket or bag when you carry it around.

Means to solve problems The basic concept of this invention is shown in FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a box body, which serves as a main body for storing all the shoe polishing tools of the present invention. Outer wall part 1 of the same box l
A is provided with a portion into which a cover plate 3 having a separate brush or sponge 2 provided on one side can be inserted into and removed from the front or back.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the brush or sponge 2 part of the cover plate 3 is stored inside the box body 1, and the cover plate 3 is attached to the outer wall part 1 of the box body 1.
Fig. 2 shows a state in which the cover plate 3 is fitted on the cover plate 3.
The cover plate 3 is shown fitted to the outer wall 1a of the box plate 1 with the brush or sponge 2 part extended outside the box body 1. A space 4 is provided inside the outer wall portion 1a of the box body 1 in which a portion of the brush or sponge 2 is housed so that the brush or sponge 2 can be inserted into and removed from the front and back. Note that the mechanism for fitting and removing the lid plate 3 into the box l is as follows.
If a groove is formed in the outer wall part la of the box body 1 and the cover plate 3 is fitted into the groove, or if the material of the box plate l is flexible, Possible configurations include one in which the side portion of the cover plate 3 is elastically fitted into the outer wall portion 1a, and another in which the outer wall portion 1a of the box body 1 and the side surface of the cover plate 3 are screwed together.

In other parts of the interior of the box 1, a winding mechanism 6 for the band-like cloth 5 and a mechanism 8 for inserting and dispensing shoe polish or shoe cream 7 are built-in.

This winding mechanism 6 has one end of the cloth strip 5 fixed to a shaft 9 mounted inside the box body 1, so that the cloth strip 5 can be wound around the shaft 9 when stored. Incidentally, the torque for winding the band-like cloth 5 during storage is
It is supplied manually from the outside of the box 1, or by a coil spring or a thinly wound spring installed inside the box body 1.

The shaft end portion IO in FIG. 1 can be used for a manual knob or a barrel housing a spring.

Furthermore, the mechanism 8 for inserting and dispensing the shoe polish or shoe cream 7 can be a manual sliding extrusion mechanism or a compression extrusion mechanism using a tube as the simplest means.
As shown in the figure, the dial 1 is exposed outside the box body 1.
It is convenient to adopt a method of moving the screw rod 12 in the axial direction by turning the shoe polisher 1 to move the solid shoe polish or shoe cream 7 in and out. It is also possible to provide a lid at the entrance 13 for the shoe polish or shoe cream 7.

The basic concept of this invention has been explained above, but this application includes two inventions, and the second invention has many parts in common with the basic concept of the first invention, and For convenience, this will be explained in the Examples section.

Function: When the shoe polisher of this invention described above is not in use, the cover plate 3 is placed inside the box with the brush or sponge 2 part inside.
The band-like cloth 5 is wound around a shaft 9 and stored inside the box l, and the shoe polish or shoe cream 7 is entirely drawn into the box l. It is stored in a closed condition.

From this state, when using the shoes, first remove the cover plate 3 from the outer wall 1a of the box 1, turn it over, and place the brush or sponge 2 part outside to remove the dirt attached to the shoes. When the outer wall la is covered with dirt, the box body 1 acts as a handle, as shown in Figure 2, and the brush or sponge 2 can be used to wipe away dirt from the shoes.

Next, in order to apply the shoe polish or shoe cream 7 to the shoes, the shoe polish or shoe cream 7 is made to protrude by the required length to the outside of the box l by operating the in/out mechanism 8, and the box l is used as a handle. Apply the tip of shoe polish or shoe cream 7 to the shoes.

Next, for the final work of spreading the shoe polish or shoe cream 7 and rubbing it on the surface of the shoe to make the surface of the shoe glossy, pull out the band-like cloth 5 wound inside the box l, and pull out the band-like cloth 5. The surface of the shoe is rubbed while pulling the band-like cloth 7 using the end 5a of the box and the box 1 as handles.

In the process of the above work, it is optional whether or not to store the used brush or sponge 2, shoe polish or shoe cream 7, etc. in the box l after each work is completed.

To store the brush or sponge 2, remove the cover plate 3 from the outer wall 1a, and fit the cover plate 3 to the outer wall 1a again with the brush or sponge 2 inside.
To store the shoe polish or shoe cream 7, pull it into the box body 1 by operating the in/out mechanism, and also store the shoe polish or shoe cream 7.
To store the cloth 5 manually, turn the knob located on the shaft end lO to wind the cloth strip 5 around the shaft 9 and pull it in. When storing the cloth strip 5 when a coil spring or spiral spring is attached, the cloth 5 can be stored. This is done automatically by releasing the tension.

During the above handling, when the box 1 is not in use, it is used as a cover to prevent dirt, shoe polish, or shoe cream from sticking to the brush or sponge 2 or the band cloth 5 from getting into the pocket or bag of the person carrying it. On the other hand, when in use, it plays an important role as a handle.

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of this embodiment, FIG. 4 is a side view thereof, and cross-sections of essential parts thereof are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

Furthermore, a perspective view showing the usage state of this shoe polisher is shown in FIG. In these figures, 2° indicates a box body, and the tools necessary for shoe polishing are built into this box. This box body 2o
is an end surface portion 20a and one side surface portion 2 at the end thereof.
0b is formed to be open, and a groove 21 is formed in the inner wall surface 20c of the open portion from the direction of the open one side surface portion 20b (see FIG. 7). The groove width and depth are determined by the lid plate 23, which is an independent unit and has a brush or sponge 22 on one side.
It is formed so that it can be fitted from the direction of the open side portion 20b. That is, the seven-land portion 24 formed on the side surface of the cover plate 23 fits into this groove 21, and the space inside the inner wall surface 20c of the open portion is used as a storage area for the brush or sponge 22. used.

Inside the box body 20, a winding mechanism for a band-like cloth and a mechanism for putting in and taking out shoe polish or shoe cream are installed in the longitudinal direction.

This belt-like cloth winding mechanism involves passing a belt-like cloth 25 through a slit 26 formed in the outer wall of the box body 20, fixing one end of the cloth to a handle piece 27 outside the box body 20, and fixing the other end of the belt-like cloth 25 through a slit 26 formed in the outer wall of the box body 20. 20
It is fixed to the shaft 28 which is mounted inside the shaft, and the bearing 29
A thin coil spring 31 installed in a barrel 30 provided on the side of the shaft generates a rewinding torque to the shaft end 28a.

In addition, the mechanism for putting in and taking out shoe polish or shoe cream is provided by forming a hollow part 32 opening to the outside in the box body 20 and serving as a covering part for the shoe polish or shoe cream 32a.
A screw rod 34 is connected to the grip part 33 of the shoe polish or shoe polish 32a that slides inside the box 20 while being prevented from rotating, and a dial 35 that is threaded with the screw rod 34 is moved in the axial direction with respect to the box 20. The box body 20 is mounted with its side surface 35a being exposed to the outside of the box body 20. A device for preventing rotation of the grip part 33 and movement of the dial in this in/out mechanism is a groove 32 in the axial direction of the inner circumferential surface of the hollow part 32.
b, on the other hand, if a protrusion 33a is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the gripping part 33 to approximately fit into the groove 32b, when the dial 35 is rotated, the dial 35 will close to the outer walls 36 and 37 of the box body 20.
Since the grip part 33 and the screw rod 34 are restrained from rotating, the grip part 33 slides in the axial direction within the hollow part 32 as the dial 35 rotates, and applies shoe polish or shoe cream 32a. You can come in and out.

A back plate 38 is fixed to the box body 20 on the opposite end of the box body 20 from the side on which the lid plate 23 is attached, and also serves as a lid for the barrel 30 in which the thinly coiled spring 31 is housed. Same back plate 3
8 has a hole 39 of the same diameter bored in the part facing the hollow part 32 of the box body 20, and has four planar parts 38 on the outer surface side.
a is formed, and *38b is formed on the inner circumferential side of the recess 38a, and a groove 3 is formed inside the recess 38a.
A movable lid 40 that fits and slides on the shoe polish 8b is attached and serves as a lid for the shoe polish or shoe cream 32a section.

Next, a method of using the shoe polisher having the above configuration will be explained. Before use, that is, when carried in a pocket or the like, the cover plate 23 is in the state shown in FIG. The brush or sponge 22 is fitted into the groove 21 in a manner that it is housed in the provided space, and covers the remaining side of the cover plate 23 from the direction of the side surface 20b where the handle piece 27 is open. is stored with its surroundings completely covered. In addition, band-like cloth 2
5 is the shaft 28 due to the unwinding torque of the spiral spring 31.
The shoe polish or shoe cream 32a is wound up into the hollow part 32 and stored in the box body 20, and the shoe polish or shoe cream 32a is drawn into the hollow part 32 by drawing the screw rod 34 with the dial 35, and the opening thereof The hole 39 is closed with a movable lid 40. In this way, when not in use, all the tools are stored in the box 20 in a completely covered state, so that the inside of the pocket or bag will not get dirty when carried. In this state, to use the brush or sponge 22 to wipe dirt off the shoes, first remove the handle piece 27 from the box body 20 and open the side part 20b of the cover plate 23. Then, pull out the cover plate 23 from the inner wall surface 20c of the box body 20, turn the cover plate 23 over so that the brush or sponge 22 is on the outside, and then remove the flange portion 24 of the cover plate 23 from the inner wall surface 20c of the box body 20. Groove 21
When the handle piece 27 is fitted into the box body 20 and returned to its original state, the entire circumference of the flange portion 24 of the cover plate 23 is aligned with the groove 21 of the box body 20 and the inner wall surface of the handle piece 27. The cover plate 23 is fitted into and held by @27b formed on the box body 27a.
Tightly fixed at 0.

Then, use the box body 20 as a handle and use the brush or sponge 2 as a handle.
Next, to apply shoe polish or shoe cream 32a to the shoes, slide the movable lid 40 within the four planar parts 38a of the back plate 38 and open the holes 39. It is opened and the dial 35 exposed to the outside of the box body 20 is turned to push out the screw rod 34 to make it protrude from the shoe polish or shoe rim 32at-back plate 38, and the box body 20 is applied as a handle. Furthermore, in order to apply gloss to the surface of the shoe while spreading the shoe polish or shoe cream 32a as a final step, it is necessary to remove the handle piece 27 from the box body 20 and separate it from the box body 20. When the band-like cloth 25 fixed to the handle piece 27 is pulled out and the entire length wound and stored in the box body 20 is pulled out, it cannot be pulled out any further, and the band-like cloth 25 is pulled out from the box body 20 at both ends and the handle. It is in a tensioned state between piece 27 and the box at both ends? 0 and the handle piece 27 and rub it against the shoe. During this work, if the cover plate 23 is held elastically by the groove 21 of the box body 20 even if the handle piece 27 is removed from the fitted state to the box body 20,
The handle piece 27 does not come off the box body 20.

In addition, to store each tool, use a brush or sponge 22.
For the part, take out the cover plate 23, turn it over and store the brush or sponge 22 part facing the space inside the inner wall surface 20c of the box body 20, and for the strip cloth 25, remove the cover plate 23
