Application mea may 17,

This invention relates to a device for waxing and cleaning floors and the like, the general object of theinvention being to provide a device provided with a holder for a receptacle containing wax or other material which is to be applied toa floor, with means -for feeding the material from the holder to that portion of the Hoor over which the device is passin with means carried by the device for ru bing the material into the floor. v

Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby a cloth can be attached to the device to polish the floors after they have been waxed or otherwise treated.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in .the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illus.- trated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several and the bolt holes Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device. I Figure 2 is a sectional view. Figure 3 is a view of the closure for the opening in the device.

Figure 4 is a view of the top plate.A` Figure 5 is a view of the grooved plate. Figure 6 is another View of the grooved plate and showing the bottom plate therein.v Figure 7 is a view of one of the shoe plates.v Figure 8 is a view of the bottom plate.

Figure 9 is a view of a modification. In these views, 1 indicates the top plate which is provided with a central opening'2 3. A collar surrounds the opening and is spacedV from the walls4 thereof and has a perforated ear 5 thereon to which the handle 6 is pivoted. A vflanged'- plate 7 engages the bottom face of the plate l and has an opening 8 therein which is con,- siderably smaller than the opening 2 in plate 1. A anged collar 9 is fastened to the plate strips holding .in Figure yl, in

7 and this collar will lie in the opening 2 when` the plates are placed together. This collar has the passages 10 therein which communi#v cate with the annular gutter 11 in the plate 7, grooves 11 radiating .from the gutter to the ends yof the plate. This plate is also provided with thebolt holes 12 which registerv l. the perforated cover will drop vinto the gutter will A to theends of they device.

with theV holes 3 in plate 1. A bottom plate 13 fits in the space formed by the flanges of the plate 7 and has a central opening 14 therein which registers with the opening 8 in plate 7. This plate 13 is also provided with the bolt holes 15 and has a cleat '16 on its bottom face, one on each side of the opening 14.

A pair of slices 17 have their reduced upper" portions engaging the plate 13, with their bottom portions engaging the cleats and the end flanges of the plate 7. Each shoe carries a pair of bolts 18 which pass through the bolt holes in the other plates, with their upper ends receiving the wing nuts 1`9, so that the bolts will hold the different parts assembled. The shoes are to be covered with suitable fabric 20 to form the rubbing surfaces.

A plug'or disk 21 closes the bottom of the and permits the material to'collect in said space and flow through passages 10 into the gutter and through the grooves 11 to the ends central space formed by the'holes in the plates of the device. The collar 4: forms a holder for a container, such as shown at A in

Fi

1 and 2, for wax or other material used with the device. r

In using the device, the cover of the container `is perforated, as at a, and then the container I is inverted and placed with its lower end in the collar 4. Thus the wax orY other. material will pass from the container into the central space and will pass therefrom through the grooves and drop upon the Hoor at the ends of the device. The `fabric covered shoes will then distribute the material upon the floor'and will rub it into the oor.

The 'material dropping from the edges of directly into the gutter and vwill thuslpa'ssthrough the grooves to the ends of the device. VIf desired, the plug21 can be removed so that the material dropping through the opening in the 'center' of ,the device will fall directly upon the floor,'while the portions dropping pass through the grooves I Toothed strips 22 Vmay be held Von'the plate 1 bythewing a cloth, such as shown at 23 'place' so. that floors can be polished or cleaned.l If desired, the plate 1 can be' use dalojne for this purpose and the cloth-stretchedl over it and held in place by thestrips-'22. If desired, a container nutsv 19 and their bolts, these holding a cleansing ,duid can be placed on the plate 1 In all essential particulars,

device could be used in the same manner with all the plates in position and the plug .21 removed so that the cleansing material `would drop *through the central openings upon the cloth and be acted on by the shoes.

Figure 9 shows a device of but one-half the size of that shown in the other figures, with the parts made single instead of double. this device is the same as that before described. y

From the foregoing, it will be seen that I have provided a simple device for waxing, polishing and cleaning floors and which will evenly distribute wax or other material upon the floor, the device holding the original container of the wax or other material.

It is thought from the foregoing descripwill drop lupon lthe dry cloth tion that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desireit to be understood that I may Ymake changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided .that'such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A deviceof the class described comprising a iat body having a centrally arranged opening passing therethrough, a flange on the top of the body around the opening and spaced 35 therefrom to for'm a seat fora container, a handle connected-with the body, a pair of pad. carrying shoes engaging the lower face of the body and spaced apart to leave the opening free, bolts connected with the shoes and 40 l passing through the body adjacent the ends thereof and nuts on the bolts for detachably connecting the shoes with the body.

In testimony whereof I alix my signature.
