Description
Nw. M, 193g. D. 1. BEEM SHOE' POLISH DAUBER Filed Nov. l5, v1937 Patented Nov. 14, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFicE 3 Claims.
The object of this invention is to provide a dauber for applying a paste dressing to leather such as belts, handbags, shoes, and the like, wherein a reserve of the paste is supplied to a retainer formed out of felt or fabric initially saturated with the paste and automatically replenished from the reservoir supply by the operation of manually rubbing the felt against the leather surface to be polished.
A further object is to increase the eiciency and durability of the daubers by placing the grain or liber of the felt so it will be at right angles to the leather surface undergoing treatment.
Another object is to restrain the felt and reserve supply of paste against undue smearing and flattening in use.
The object also is to provide a dauber with a lug on its side opposite the felt which can be 20 grasped by the lingers as a handle in the use of the dauber, and also provide a shield which will keep the paste from soiling the lingers.
I accomplish the above and other objects which will hereinafter appear, by the means illustrated 25 in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a front plan view of my improved dauber removed from the box in which it is preferably kept when not in use. This view shows the gauze cover removed from half of the dauber.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the back of my improved dauber.
Fig. 4 is an elevation and partial section of a box containing my dauber.
Fig. 5 is a front plan View of a slightly modified form in which the ring of felt is larger and the reservoir of paste is smaller. 'I'he gauze cover is not shown.
Fig. 6 is another form showing the felt pad as 40 made continuously from a sheet of felt.
Fig. 7 is still another form in which the felt pad is omitted and the shape of the plug of paste is retained by a paper or fabric belt. The gauze cover is partly broken away in this view.
Fig. 8 is a modification in which there is no reservoir of paste but a felt strip saturated with paste is coiled closely to form the daubter, and
Fig. 9 is a perspective View showing a preferred manner of forming the felt rings out of a felt 50 cylinder.
Like characters of reference indicate like parts in the several views.
Referring more particularly to Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, the member I0 is a thin circular disk here 55 shown as made out of pasteboard, but which may be made of any suitable material. I concentrically glue to the disk a ring II, rectangular in cross section and preferably of woven felt and with the fibers or layersv at right angles to the f. wf.
disk. The ring of felt is impregnated with shoe A5V or other polish or with wax and the purpose in placing the bers or layers of the felt at right angles to the disk is to facilitate the ejection of the material with which the ring is impregnated when the dauber is rubbed against the leather surface to be polished. One method of producing the above described ring is illustrated in Fig. 9, in which a sheet or layer of felt I2 is bent into a roll, with the bers running longitudinally of the roll, and the roll is then cut transversely into rings. Preferably the roll, before cutting, will be enveloped by a wrapper I3 of strong thin cloth which holds the lapped edges of the felt together in the roll and which serves, in the iinished dauber, to restrict the pulling off, fiattening, and spreading of the ring and paste material in use. A space I4 is preferably provided on the disk around the ring to keep the paste from soiling the other side of the disk.
The space enclosed by the ring is lled with reserve paste material I5, which cakes at normal temperatures and which material is the same as that with which the felt ring II is impregnated both iillings being readily accomplished with the lling material rendered liquid by heat.
A gua-ze I6 is applied as a covering to the ring II, reservoir I5 and space I4, to insure a more even spread of the paste material. On the other side of the disk I0 from that to which the ring I I is glued, hereinafter referred to as the back side, is a block of wood I'I, here shown as cylindrical and considerably less in diameter than the diameter of the disk. It is glued concentrically of and to the disk to be grasped by the fingers of the user and serving as a handle for him.
This completes the dauber, which, to keep it from drying out by exposure to atmosphere when not in use, and to keep it from soiling its surroundings is placed and kept in a sheet metal box I3, adapted to be closed substantially air tight and opened by a lever pivoted to the box, having a cam I9 to push against a flange on the lid.
The ample space I8 surrounding the handle I'I, aifords room for the users fingers to enter and grasp the handle in removing the dauber irom the box and keeps the fingers from becoming soiled by contact with the paste.
Fig. 6 shows a felt ring in which the liber or felt layers run parallel with the disk. The absorption of reserve paste from the central deposit is greater but the discharge to the article being polished is less rapid than where the bers are at right angles to the supporting disk and the tendency to pull off the layers of felt and to flatten the ring is greater.
In the form shown in Fig. 'I the felt ring is omitted and a block of some solid paste is surrounded by a band 20 of rubber, fabric, paper, Cellophane, or the like, the lower edge of Which is glued to the disk. This form of my dauber, and preferably all of the forms here shown are covered with gauze as described for the form shown in Fig. 1.
In the modification shown in Fig. 8, no central space is provided for a reservoir of paste but the felt pad is in a coil which occupies the outer area and is impregnated with the paste.
In the use of my dauber it is handled by grasping the Wood block I 'l between the thumb and fingers and the polishing paste is applied by touching the leather with the felt side of the dauber. The spreading and polishing is vdone with another and usual device for that purpose. The felt ring is replenished from the central reserve.
It is obvious that my invention is capable of numerous modications, some of which I have illustrated and described and I therefore do not desire to be limited any more than is required by the appended claims.
I claimv.
1. In a dauber, a disk, a relatively stiff felt ring, secured to a face of the disk, and a cake of polish in the central space of the ring.
2. In a dauber, a disk, relatively stiff felt ring secured to a face of the disk, and a cake of polish in the central space of the ring remote from the edge to form a protective space and a handle means on the opposite face of the disk from the ring.
3. In a dauber, a disk, a relatively stii felt ring secured to a face of the disk, a cake of polish in the central space of the ring remote from the edge to form a protective space and a handle means on the opposite face of the disk from the ring of considerably less diameter than the disk and spaced from the edges of said disk.
DAVID J. BEEM.
