1 Claim.
This invention relates to a wax applier. It Will be obvious, however, that the invention is applicable to other uses.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple structure which will apply wax, and particularly liquid wax of the non-rubbing type, to surfaces while at the same time providing a structure which can be readily cleaned and dried. A further object is to provide mechanism for supporting wax-applying fabric in such a manner as to permit the fabric to be readily removed and cleaned, and also to permit the ready drying of the material after reassembling. A further object is to provide a wax-applying flexible member which is stretchable so as to maintain itself in taut position while at the same time preventing the escape of wax through the fabric. Other specific objects and advantages will appear as the specification proceeds. The invention is illustrated in a preferred embodiment by the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of a wax-applier embodying my invention, a portion of the handle 5 having been cut off; Fig. 2, a transverse sectional view, the section being taken as indicated at line 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 2, a broken transverse sectional view, the section being taken as indicated at line 3 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 4, an enlarged broken sectional view of the rubber reinforced fabric employed.
In the illustration given, A designates a handle; B, a frame secured to the handle; and C, a wax-applying fabric.
5 The handle A may be of any suitable construction and material. In the illustration given, a Wooden handle is shown provided near its lower end with an opening 10 through which a bolt H is passed for securing it to frame B.
I The frame B may also be of any suitable con- The upper member l4 provides with the lower member 12 open ends through which air may circulate freely through the chamber between the members. To provide further ventilation for drying purposes, I prefer to partially cut away portions of the plate 14 near its center and to form from these partially cutaway portions upwardly extending handle-engaging flanges It. The flanges I6 are provided with an opening coinciding with the opening H! which extends through handle A and the bolt 11 passes through 5 this opening and opening 16 to secure handle A rigidly to the flanges 55, as shown more clearly in Figs. 1 and 3. The striking out of the metal leaves apertures i! near the center of the plate I l.
The wax-applying member C may be of any suitable construction and material. In the illustration given, I provide a rubber backing or base 58 and a mohair or brush-like fabric body i9. The brush-like threads of the mohair are rein- 15 forced near their rear side with an undulating fabric mat 233, as shown more clearly in Fig. 4, thus permitting stretching of the member C. In this construction, the rubber base provides an impervious backing which prevents the liquid 20 from passing through the member C while also reinforcing the brush-like fabric or mohair body. The result is a tough strong applying structure which is impervious and which at the same time is stretchable. When applied to the frame, as 25 shown in Fig. 3, the member C is stretched and held taut in the position shown, the brushlike fibers of the cloth being supported in even regular position.
In the application of the liquid, the brush-like 3 fibers retain between them a quantity of the liquid and cause it to spread evenly and uniformly over the desired surface, the individual fibers tending to move into any uneven interstices or depressions in the surface to be waxed 5 and applying the liquid solution there.
After the waxing operation, the plate M can be slid readily out of engagement with the member 12 so as to free the applying member C. Member C can then be washed and the parts re- 40 assembled. In reassembling, the fabric C is applied around the lower member and then the plate 14 is pressed downwardly, spreading spring arms # 3 until the channeled edge 55 is in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3, in which position 5 the member C is locked in a stretched condition resulting from this described operation. In this position, the applier can be set aside to dry, the air circulating freely through the ends of the chamber formed between the members and 50 through apertures I! in the middle portion thereof.
The wax applier is of extremely simple construction, can be operated efficiently for spreading the liquid evenly upon the surface, and can 55 be readily disassembled and assembled after cleaning, the structure being such as to maintain the fabric in taut condition with the brushlike fibers maintained in substantially vertical In a wax applier, a frame provided with twosuperposed members, said superposed members having side flanges, the side flanges of said superposed members being in releasably interlocking relation, a wax-applying flexible and stretchable member extending under the lowermost 0! said 5 members and having portions thereof clamped between said side flanges whereby said member is stretched and held taut, said flexible member consisting of an elastic inner base layer and an outer fabric layer, said layers being joined with 1 the fabric undulated.
