  • Bail 69 is pivotally attached to handle 14 .
  • the pump 64 can include a variety of different pumps, such as piston pump, gear pump, diaphragm pump, peristaltic pump, and the like. While each pump can be utilized to deliver floor finish and can be operable via the transmission assembly described above, the peristaltic pump embodiment is a highly preferred embodiment. As explained in greater detail below, the peristaltic pump is preferred because it is substantially easier to clean since the floor finish does not contact the pump.
  • the peristaltic pump is housed in compartment 75 .
  • a floor finish feed conduit 25 is in fluid communication with the bag 23 by means of the connector 79 .
  • Feed conduit 25 is also in fluid communications with pump conduit 81 and is output conduit 83 .
  • Sleeves 85 provide connection between conduits 25 , 83 and pump conduit 81 .
  • a spray conduit 87 with orifices 89 is attached to housing 16 by the brackets 90 .
  • FIGS. 9-16 A further understanding of the floor finish applicator 10 can be had by a description of its operation as seen in FIGS. 9-16 .
  • the bag 23 containing floor finish in placed in box 21 and the box loaded into the housing 16 of cart 12 as illustrated in FIG. 9 .
  • Bag 23 is connected to flexible feed tube 25 as indicated in FIG. 16 .
  • Mop 28 is clamped to the applicator 10 by means of clamps 28 and 29 , as shown in FIG. 10 .
  • the applicator 10 is moved in a direction indicated by the directional arrow 19 shown in FIG. 10 .
  • Bail 69 is then moved in the direction shown by the directional arrow 17 , this causes pivotal bar 48 to move from the position shown in FIG.
  • peristaltic pump 64 As best seen in FIG. 16 , floor finish flows through flexible feed conduit 25 into peristaltic pump 64 . It is pumped into output flexible conduit 83 and into spray conduit 87 where it is dispensed through orifices 89 . Activation of the peristaltic pump 64 during movement of the cart 12 can be prevented by the roller clutch 94 in conjunction with wheels 18 . This is shown in FIG. 13 .
  • a roller bearing 92 is mounted on shaft 56 as is roller clutch 94 .
  • a spacer 93 separates bearing 92 and housing 16 . In the event bail 69 is not moved to a position to place pivot bar 48 in the position shown in FIG. 12 with the non-engagement of gears 50 and 54 , roller clutch prevents activation of pump 64 during movement of the cart 12 .
  • An advantageous feature of some embodiments of the applicator is the disposable connector 79 and the disposable flexible conduits 25 , 81 , 83 and spray conduit 87 .
  • these components can be readily removed and replaced without any cleaning of the peristaltic pump 64 .
  • the floor finish never contacts the pump. As such, time consuming clean-up is not necessary. Rather, the conduit is simply removed from the pump and replaced prior to next operation.
  • the application 10 is the dual use of mop 28 . It acts as a spreader for the floor finish when attached to the cart 12 , yet allows use separately as a hand operated mop in order to apply floor finish to areas of floors not readily accessible when attached to the applicator.
  • a roller clutch 94 has been described in conjunction with applicator 10 . If desired this could be eliminated as deactivation of the pump 64 can be effected during a forward motion of the applicator by placing bail 69 in the upward position shown in solid lines in FIG. 10 . Neither is it essential to have the mop 28 disengageable from the applicator 10 .
  • the embodiment illustrated above harnessed the power of the wheels to drive the pump, other embodiments can utilize an electric pump with the detachable handle. All such and other modifications within the sprit of the invention are meant to be within the scope as defined by the appended claims.
