Description
A ril 9, 1935. H. D. WHITE SHOE SH'INING DEVICE Filed April'lO, 1934 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 gvwc nto n Howard D. Wifie,
Application April 10, 1934, Serial No. 719,950
5 Claims.
This invention relates to a shoe shining device and, more particularly, to a unitary shoe shining implement including a shoe polish supply and a polish bufier.
An object of the invention is to construct from one piece of sheet metal the entire bufier, polish holder, and handle.
A further object is to provide several layers of bufiing material which may be brought into use as the outer layer becomes worn.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a side elevation.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a horizontal section taken on line 55 of Fi 4.
Fig. 6 is a vertical section taken on line 6--B of Fig. 4.
Fig. 7 is a vertical section taken on line 1--1 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 8 is a detail view of the front portion of the device.
Referring more particularly to the drawings,
' numeral I denotes a substantially fiat sheet metal backing blank having downturned side flanges 2. The blank I is corrugated longitudinally to form an upstanding rib 3, the rib terminating in the extended portion 4 of the blank which is bent circularly to form an integral hollow handle 5. The other end of the rib 3 terminates in a semicircular corrugation 6 near the opposite end of the backing blank.
A solid or laminated resilient felt block 1, ap-
proximately the same size as the back member 5, is held against the backing by the downturned flanges 2. As shown in Figs. 3, 6, and 7, the flanges 2 have inturned edges to secure the block firmly, and it is preferable to round the bottom edges of the front and rear of the block, as at 8. Overlying the front, bottom, and rear sides of the block are a plurality of buffing strips 9 which may be made of fabric, sheepskin, or the like. These strips are firmly retained against the felt block by being inturned and clamped under the front and back of the flanges 2.
Centrally located in the forward portion of the resilient block 1 is a hole In with which the depressed opening I I formed in the metal backing blank I registers, as disclosed in Figs. 4 and 7. Fitting against the edges of the semicircular section 6 of the rib 3, and with its loose end depending through the opening ll into the hole I0, is a block of water-soluble polishing material [2 retained in a porous bag l3. The depending free end of the porous bag is secured by cord I4 which extends under rib 3 and into handle 5 where it extends outwardly from the rib through side opening I5. Its end is aflixed over cleat l6 pressed out from the metal of the handle.
As illustrated in Figs. 5 and 8, the several layers of bufling material 9 retained on the outside of the block 1 are securely aflixed thereto by the side flanges 2. As the outer layer of the material wears out it may be cut off close to the front and rear edges of the backing, as at IT, to expose a fresh layer of material.
Thus it will be seen that the entire backing, polish holder and handle are constructed from a single blank of sheet metal. It will also be appreciated that, as the polishing material I2 is used up, the slack in cord 15 is taken up over cleat IE to hold the polish bag l3 tight against the back I and rib 6. When the polish package 13 is completely consumed it is a simple matter to loosen the cord I4 from the cleat, untie the end from the used bag and retie a fresh package.
In use it is only necessary for the operator tograsp the handle 5 and, after Wetting the polish I2 in water, apply it to his shoes. Then, inverting the device, he polishes his shoes on the bufling surfaces 9, the Whole operation being accomplished with the use of one hand.
What I claim is:
1. A shoe shining device including a backing member provided with an integral ofiset portion, said offset portion being bent to the form of a hollow handle, the said backing member and the said handle being formed from a single sheet of metal, and a bufier member secured to said backing member.
2. A shoe shining device including a resilient block, a buffer cloth secured thereover, an integral sheet metal backing member having an offset integral tubular handle portion, and depending turned-in side flanges integral with the backing member for securing the said block and buffer cloth against the underside of said backing member.
3. In a shoe shining device of the character described, a sheet metal backing member, a resilient pad affixed thereto, a plurality of polishing cloths overlying said pad and securedbetween said backing member and said pad, and a polish supply package positioned on said backing member and extending therethrough into a registering opening formed in said pad.
4. A shoe shining implement including a substantially flat base member, an upstanding rib member formed therein, one end of said rib terminating in a handle member, a depressed opening formed adjacent the other end of said rib member, a porous bag containing polish afiixed to said base member with the free edges of the bag extending through said opening, and means for adjustably securing the said bag against the base member as the polish is consumed.
5. In a shoe shining implement, a substantially flat sheet metal section, an upstanding longitudinal rib formed in said section, one end of said rib terminating in an integral offset handle portion formed from an extension of said flat section, the opposite end of said rib being semi-circular and terminating near the end of said flat section, and a depressed opening in the semi-circular rib portion adapted to hold a blacking container.
