Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a surface treating device formed by assembling a small number of members having simple configuration, that can be used as a lustering-agent applicator used for lustering car bodies or tires, furniture, etc. as well as a cleaner, an eraser for a blackboard or other such device.
  • Typical of the proposed brushes are represented by toothbrushes, clothesbrushes, etc. having a treating portion constituted of numerous bristle members.
  • the treating portion has a relatively small area or is rod-shaped.
  • the major structural feature of the treating portion is that the proximal ends of the bristle members are totally adhered and fixed to a base by means of an adhesive agent.
  • the proposed applicators have a treating portion constituted of various kinds of materials.
  • Materials capable of retaining a liquid composition therein include a continuously foamed body, such as sponge, and a continuously foamed body coated with cloth, felt or the like.
  • the treating portion generally has a relatively large area.
  • the major structural feature of the treating portion constituted of sponge for example, is that the back surface of the sponge is adhered and fixed to a base by means of an adhesive agent.
  • the treating portion is constituted of sponge coated with cloth, for example, the side edges of the cloth are fixed to the peripheral edge of a base by means of an adhesive agent or metal fittings.
  • So-configured applicators are disclosed in JU-A 54-177764, JU-A 54-177766, JU-B 57-46939, JU-B 59-9742, JP-B 60-2046 and JD-B 559923.
  • the conventional brushes or applicators are fabricated using an adhesive agent, they cannot be used until the adhesive agent sets.
  • the adhesive agent contains an organic solvent. For these reasons, the productivity thereof is not good. To be specific, the material of the treating portion easily falls out before the adhesive agent sets. Therefore, a step of setting the adhesive agent is required.
  • the adhesive agent contains an organic solvent that is flammable and harmful to the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to install an exhausting unit and pay strict attention to fire prevention.
  • the work of lustering car bodies is to coat a thin film of a water-repellent treating agent, such as liquid or semisolid wax onto the car body surface.
  • a car owner has to assemble a set of materials including an applicator such as a spongy member, a water-repellent treating agent, a container for the treating agent, a cloth member for thinly applying and wiping off the treating agent and disposable gloves for carrying out this work.
  • This set is bulky and takes up a large space. If always kept in a car trunk, it is likely to be a nuisance, especially if not frequently used.
  • the present invention has been accomplished and one object thereof is to provide a surface treating device that can be easily fabricated with high productivity without requiring the use of an adhesive agent or the work of welding or other such attaching treatment.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a surface treating device advantageously usable for the work of lustering car bodies without requiring the use of an applicator, wax, a cloth member, etc.

  • FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate a first embodiment of the surface treating device according to the present invention.
  • the device is a wet-type one usable advantageously as an applicator for applying a lustering agent to car bodies and comprises a material constituting a treating portion 11 of a continuously foamed soft body 2 of urethane etc. that is so-called sponge and a fibrous film 3 coated on the surface of the body.
  • the continuously foamed body 2 occludes therein a lustering agent such as semisolid wax or like agent.
  • the surface treating device (lustering-agent applicator) 1 fundamentally comprises the material ( 2 and 3 ), an annular engaging member 4 and a holder 5 . Since the continuously foamed body 2 occludes a lustering agent therein, as described above, the material is provided with a cover member 6 for covering the material to prevent accidental adherence of wax before the use of the device and volatilization of the lustering agent, such as wax, detergent, etc., occluded in the material.
  • the material constituting the treating portion 11 coming in contact with a surface to be treated (a car body surface in this case) when using the surface treating device comprises the continuously foamed body 2 and the fibrous film 3 coated on the surface of the body.
  • the continuously foamed body 2 is impregnated with nothing when applied to a dry-type surface treating device, but is impregnated with (occludes therein) a lustering agent, detergent or other such agent when applied to a wet-type surface treating device.
  • the continuously foamed body 2 is sponge as described above, i.e., a molded soft body having continuos pores therein.
  • the continuous pores form spaces for occluding a lustering agent, etc. when the body is applied to a wet-type surface treating device.
  • the lustering agent, detergent or other such agent to be occluded includes wax, a polisher and a cleaner in the state of liquid, solid or emulsion.
  • a solid agent is first melted into liquid and the liquid is occluded in the body.
  • semisolid wax at normal room temperature is melted at 70° C., and the melt is impregnated in the body so that it is occluded therein.
  • Cloth, nonwoven fabric or other such fibrous member that permits permeation of the lustering agent etc. occluded in the continuously foamed body 2 can be used as the fibrous film 3 .
  • the fibrous film preferably has high resistance particularly to friction and tensile strength.
  • cheesecloth extreme thin, coarse cotton or hemp cloth
  • Various kinds of cheesecloth, such as of acryl/polyester, acryl/rayon, etc., having various characteristics, are available on the market. A suitable one can be selected from among the various kinds.
  • the annular engaging member 4 is a member for forcing the end of the material ( 2 , 3 ) into an annular groove 53 of the holder 5 , that will be described later, and fixing it integrally to the holder.
  • the part to be forced into the annular groove 53 may be the end of the fibrous film 3 only.
  • the annular engaging member 4 has a shape formed by molding plural strips of thin plates annularly, although the shape is actually determined by the shape and size of the annular groove 53 , that will be described later.
  • the annular engaging member is formed to have a shape and a size that can prevent the material (fibrous film 3 ) from coming out of the annular groove 53 .
  • the material of which the annular engaging member is made is not limited, but is plastic in this embodiment.
  • the annular engaging member 4 in the embodiment shown in the drawings has an elliptical shape and is provided on the outside circumferential surface thereof with an engaging portion 41 projecting outward and on the bottom surface thereof with a plurality of engaging projections 42 that are formed in the shape of a conical or pyramidal sharp splinter and substantially equidistantly arranged.
  • the engaging projections 42 bite into the fibrous film 3 to prevent the fibrous film from coming out of the annular groove 53 and may therefore be formed in a sawtoothed shape.
  • the annular engaging member 4 Since the annular engaging member 4 is molded to have a shape and a size that can prevent the material (fibrous film 3 ) from coming out of the annular groove 53 , as described above, it does not always require provision of such engaging projections 42 . However, the annular engaging member 4 , if provided with the engaging projections 42 , can prevent the fibrous film 3 from coming out of the annular groove 53 even when it is made thinner. For these reasons, it is preferable for the annular engaging member to have the aforementioned shape and size and the engaging projections so as to make the fibrous film 3 more difficult to come out of the annular groove 53 .
  • the holder 5 has a base 51 for supporting the material (treating portion 11 ) thereon, the annular groove 53 provided in the inside peripheral surface thereof with an engaging structure, and a portion (grip portion 54 ) to be gripped by a user conducting a lustering work. While it is an integral molding of plastic in this embodiment, the material is not limited to plastic.
  • the base 51 of the holder 5 is formed to be flat by fitting a lid member 7 for the base in an open end of the hollow cylindrical grip portion 54 , and the annular groove 53 is formed by bending an outer peripheral edge 59 of the base 51 inward.
  • the engaging structure formed in the inside peripheral surface of the annular groove 53 is a convex portion 52 formed on the upper end of the annular groove 53 so as to project W inward as is shown in an inset of FIG. 3 that shows the corresponding part of the figure in an enlarged fashion.
  • the annular engaging member 4 is attached to the holder by engagement between the convex portion 52 and the engaging portion 41 formed on the outer circumference of the annular engaging member 4 so as to project outward.
  • the lid member 7 for the base is attached to the holder by engagement between a convex part 51 ′ formed on the open end of the grip portion 54 so as to project inward and an engaging part 71 formed on the outer circumference of the lid member 7 for the base so as to project outward.
  • the cover member 6 comprises a bulged portion 61 and a fitting portion 62 and is an integral molding of transparent plastic.
  • the bulged portion 61 covers the treating portion 11 containing a lustering agent to prevent accidental adherence of wax before the use of the device and volatilization of the lustering agent.
  • the fitting portion 62 has an inside diameter slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the outer peripheral edge 59 of the holder 5 surrounding the annular groove 53 . The cover member is retained on the holder 5 by pressure-inserting and fitting the fitting portion onto the outer peripheral edge.
  • the surface treating device 1 in this embodiment is fabricated by assembling together the material ( 2 , 3 ), annular engaging portion 4 , holder 5 and cover member 6 , each having a simple structure. This assemblage is conducted very easily.
  • the treating portion 11 can be supported on the base 51 and fixed integrally to the holder 5 by causing the distal end of the annular engaging member 4 to force the end of at least the fibrous film 3 of the material into the annular groove 53 of the holder 5 and fitting the annular engaging member 4 in the annular groove 53 .
  • the end (folded-back part) of the material (at least the fibrous film 3 ) forced into the annular groove 53 is in a small gap in a state clamped between the side wall surface surrounding the annular groove 53 and the annular engaging member 4 .
  • the distal ends (engaging projections 42 ) of the annular engaging member 4 bite into the material (at least the fibrous film 3 ).
  • the material is prevented from coming out of the annular groove 53 .
  • the fitting portion 62 of the cover member 6 is then fitted on the outer peripheral edge 59 of the base 51 surrounding the annular groove 53 of the holder 5 . Since the inside diameter of the fitting portion 62 is 0.1 to 0.4 mm smaller than the outside diameter of the outer peripheral edge 59 , pressure insertion of the fitting portion onto the outer peripheral edge 59 of the holder 5 elastically deforms the cover member and the holder, and the two are closely fitted to each other by the spread and restoration of the material of the cover member 6 that compress the outer peripheral edge of the holder.
  • This layer of particles is required to have flexibility and elasticity to such an extent as not to mar the surface to be treated, and is also required not to react with the lustering agent, not to manifest a viscous property relative to the surface, and to exhibit a some degree of motion freedom between the particles and between the fibrous film and the particles.
  • Examples of usable particles include micelles of protein, such as leather, synthetic leather and ⁇ -starch; and powders of less viscous rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, soft synthetic resin, etc., having a particle diameter approximately in the range of 5 to 500 ⁇ m.

  • the base member 8 is provided on the flat surface thereof with a multiplicity of small protuberances 81 that are arranged substantially equidistantly and bite into the continuously foamed body 2 when supporting the treating portion 11 thereon, thereby preventing the foamed body from being displaced.
  • the base member 8 is provided on the peripheral edge thereof with an overhanging portion 82 projecting outward and downward, inward of the overhanging portion 82 with a ring wall portion 83 while leaving a ring groove 84 between the overhanging portion and the ring wall portion, and on the inside surface thereof with a plurality of small cylindrical pole portions 85 that are arranged at predetermined intervals.
  • the base member 8 is made of plastic similarly to the holder 5 .
  • the holder 5 is provided on the open end face of the hollow cylindrical grip portion 54 thereof with a plurality of protuberances 58 at positions corresponding to the positions of the small cylindrical pole portions 85 of the base member 8 .
  • Each protuberance has a center hole for admitting the corresponding small cylindrical pole portion 85 and positioning the base member.
  • the holder 5 is further provided on the open peripheral edge thereof with a pair of parallel ring walls 55 and 56 between which another ring groove 57 is interposed for fitting the annular engaging member 4 therein.
  • the cover member 6 is provided on opposite side surfaces thereof with a pair of engagement portions 63 and on one side surface thereof with a projecting portion 64 .
  • the base member 8 is disposed to face the open end face of the holder 5 .
  • the inside ring wall 55 of the holder 5 is fitted in the ring groove 84 of the base member 8 and at the same time the small cylindrical pole portions 85 of the base member 8 are inserted into the corresponding holes formed in the protuberances 58 of the holder 5 .
  • the base member 8 is positioned on the open end face of the holder 5 and fixed thereto so as to cover the holder.
  • the overhanging portion 82 projecting downward at a position above the ring groove 57 in which the annular engaging member 4 is fitted, constitutes an engagement structure for the annular engaging member 4 .
  • the treating portion 11 is fixed to the holder 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
  • the treating portion 11 can be supported on the base member 8 and fixed integrally to the holder 5 by causing the distal end of the annular engaging member 4 to force the end of at least the fibrous film 3 of the treating portion into the ring groove 57 and fitting the annular engaging member 4 in the ring groove 57 .
  • the annular engaging member 4 momentarily enlarges in diameter owing to the presence of a plurality of cuts 43 formed therein as it passes over the downward projecting overhanging portion 82 of the base member 8 and, upon having passed over the downward projecting overhanging portion 82 and being fitted in the ring groove 57 , restores to its original diameter.
  • the engagement structure can be easily formed by the annular engaging member 4 at a position above the ring groove 57 by fitting the separate base member on the open end face of the holder 5 .
  • the cover member 6 can be airtightly attached to the holder 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment by pressure-inserting and fitting the fitting portion 62 of the cover member 6 onto the outer periphery of the outside ring wall 56 surrounding the ring groove 57 of the holder 5 .
  • the cover member 6 of the present embodiment is provided on opposite side surfaces with the engagement portions 63 .
