1 Claim.
This invention relates to the cleaning and polishing art and has for an object to provide a device operable advantageously in conjunction with paste wax polishing operations for providing surfaces of furniture and the like, particularly automobile bodies, with a lustrous appearance by the employment of a minimum of labor and a lesser quantity of said wax than has been necessary heretofore.
Further objects and other advantages of the invention will be understood from the following detailed description thereof.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a top plan view of the new device, a certain portion of an outer surface thereof being broken away. t
Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical section thereof.
Referring to the drawing for a more particular description I!) indicates generally a sack formed of flexible cloth, the weave I l thereof being sufliciently porous for purposes later described, said cloth having a pile or nap l2 outwardly disposed only from the outer surfaces of the weave I I.
The sack I is formed of any kind of cloth or fabric, preferably fabric having the herein described characteristics and is enclosed on all sides, the ends thereof being closed by any suitable means such as stitching, not shown.
A sufficient quantity of pulverized material is placed within the sack before sewing or otherwise securing the ends of the sack for enclosing said material.
The sack I0 may be of any desired size or thickness and it has been found in actual use that a sack which is approximately twice as long as it is wide and having a thickness approximately one-half of the width is more efficient in use particularly in treating automobiles, said flexible sack being adapted to conform in use tothe several different curvatures of an automobile body and insertab-le in crevices and the like adjacent the head light housings of automobiles.
The preferred material I 3 within said sack consists of finely pulverized corn starch and the weave ll of the fabric of said sack is sufficiently porous to permit a minute quantity of said corn starch to pass through said weave at times when the tool is tapped against a surface to be polished.
In the operation of the new tool a surface to be polished is first treated with paste wax by evenly spreading the latter over said surface and a the thinner the Wax is applied to said surface the more efficient resultant is obtained in conjunction with the new tool.
After the paste wax has been thinly spread on said surface by any suitable means the new tool is tapped against said surface for causing a small quantity of the said material to pass outwardly of the sack as needed and onto said coat of wax whereupon said' surface is briskly rubbed. A comparatively minimum amount of rubbing is all that is necessary in order to impart a lustrous appearance to the finish of an automobile body and other surfaces proportionately.
If desired the tool itself may be used for said rubbing or a separate cloth may be employed for said purpose. The nap or pile I2 which is secured to and carried by the weave H is of a sufficient length and body density to prevent a direct contact of the weave H with said surface and wax whereby the weave is prevented from becoming clogged with wax which would prevent the said material from exuding through said weave, said pile l2 permitting the material l3 to pass outwardly of the sack during polishing operations or until such time as the sack becomes nearly emptied of the said material. For use with a certain type of paste wax which is semi-plastic, fabric for the sack may be employed to advantage Which is not provided with the above described pile l2.
The new tool is not intended for indefinite use. The intention is that after several polishing operations the device can be discarded and a new like device economically employed since the initial cost of a device is but a nominal sum particularly as compared with several of the processed polishing cloths and similar media avail able at present.
From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a cleaning and polishing tool constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish it to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as claimed.
I claim:
A device for use in conjunction with paste wax for polishing a surface comprising a flexible fabric sack having an outwardly disposed pile, and
a quantity of pulverized corn starch in said sack, the weave of said fabric being sufficiently porous to permit a usable quantity of said corn starch to pass through said weave when "said sack is tapped against a waxed surface, said pile having a suflicient density and length to prevent a direct contact of said weave with said surface for preventing said weave from becoming clogged with said Wax during polishing operation and suflicient permeability to permit a passage of said 5 starch through said pile.
GEORGE T. GAEBEL.
