Application February 6, 1934, Serial No. 709,936
for applying liquid wax, polish or other liquid coatings to floors and the like.
- Other objects of the invention and the novel features of construction, combinations and relations of parts by which the same are attained are set forth and will be apparent from the following specification.
The drawing accompanying and forming part of the specification illustrates one practical embodiment of the invention, but as such illustration is primarily for purposes of disclosure, it will be appreciated that the structure and modification mar bechanged in various ways all within the trtfe scope of the invention as set forth in the "{laims.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of .the device showing the pull wire operated to open the valve controlling discharge from the bottom of the can.
Fig.2 is an enlarged broken sectional view illustrating particularly the clamp mechanism for holding the can to the stick or handle and the combination can-puncturing and valving lever.
Figs. 3, 4 and Sam cross sectional details as on lines 3-3, 4-4 and 55 of Fig. 1.
In its simplest form, the invention comprises a suitable handle such as a stick 7, carrying a mop, brush or the like 8, adapted for distributing the wax, oil, polish or other liquid and means on said handle for securing a can of the wax or other liquid and for puncturing the can and then valving the contents of the same.
In the illustration, there is shown at 9, a can such as ordinarily used for packaging liquid wax and like floor finishing materials. Such cans are usually provided with screw caps such as indicated at 10, but this is not essential or necessary to the present invention. The can in fact may be entirely sealed, reaching the user in that state. Actually this is preferred, since the container is less expensive and the user is assured of the original contents put up by the manufacturer of the floor wax or other material.
When mounted ready for use,'the bottom of the can is punctured, in the illustration by a point 11, carried by a lever 12, pivoted at 13, on a sleeve-like bracket 14.
This bracket is shown as a split sleeve, Fig. 5-, which is gripped upon the handle stick in the desired position by thumb screw 15.
The lever mounting bracket or sleeve also carries a positioning and supporting lug 16, which as shown in Figs. 2 and 5, grips behind the rim or flange 17, about the bottom of the canand thereby positions the can backed solidly against the sleeve.
At the top, the can is shown held by another split sleeve 18, Figs. 2 and 4, adjustably fastened on the stick by thumb screw 19, and having a down-turned lug 20, engaging over the rim 21, at the top of the can to ,hold it backed against this top-sleeve.
In practise it will be seen that it is only necessary to loosen the upper thumb screw 19, whereupon the sleeve 18, can be lifted enough to permit the can being engaged over the supporting lug 16, of the lower clamp bracket, whereupon the upper bracket may be slid down into tight engagement over the upper can flange and the thumb screw 19, be tightened. The can will then be held rigidly on the stick and in position for the bottom of the same to be pierced by the puncturing element 11. c
It is usually suflicient simply to force the lever 12, by hand toward the bottom of the can, but if necessary, the end of the lever may be tapped with a hammer or the like, to drive the puncturing point through the bottom of the can.
The taper of the puncturing point enables it to serve also as a valve for preventing unwanted escape of liquid, but to make sure of perfect seal,.
a washer or gasket 22, of rubber, cork or the like, may be carried by or surround the prong in position to seal against the bottom of the can. To hold the valving element normally closed, a spring 23, is shown acting on the outer end portion 24, or extension of lever 12, and opening movements of the valve are provided for by a pull connection 25, extending up the handle and having a convenient finger hook 26, on the upper end thereof. This pull connection isshown as a wire or light rod having its upper end formed as a loop 27, sliding about the handle, said rod sliding down through a guide lug 28, projecting from the upper end of the lower clamp sleeve and having its lower end bent or shouldered at 29, after passage through the lever extension 24. The guide lug 28, serves as an abutment for the valve closing spring 23, being engaged by the washer or cup 30, over the upper end of the spring. 7 To prevent the pull link from simply dropping down away from the valve lever when the latter is in the closed position indicated in Fig. 2, a shoulder or abutment such as the kink or bend 31, may be formed on the wire to engage the guide lug 28.
To permit the parts being packed in small space, the pull link may be made in two or more cans of material may be sealed by the man'ufacturer of the same, guaranteeing the user against fraud. These cans are readily mounted on the stick or handle and when so mounted, thev material is immediately available by simply forcing the puncturing pointinto the bottom of the can. When this is done, the material may be discharged under perfect control through the operation of the pull link connected with the punc- -turing and valving lever. While the device is primarily a floor waxing implement, it will be realiz'ed that it may be used for other purposes and that this term therefore is not a limiting expression. Similarly other words and .phrases have been employed herein in a descripive rather than in a limiting sense, except possibly as limi-.
tations may be imputed by state of What is claimed is:
1. A floor waxing or like device, comprising in combination, a handle and liquid distributing means carried thereby, a can of the liquid to be applied; means for securing said can in fixed supported relation on the handle, a movable puncturing and valving element mounted on the handle the prior art.
