LIQUID FLOOR WAX CONTAINER AND APPLICATOR Filed July 24, 1 9s7 INVENTORS Forrest I? Griffeth 8 Leno Grifferh United States Patent LIQUID FLOOR WAX CONTAINER AND APPLICATOR Forrest P. Grifieth and Lena Griifeth, Kansas City, Kans. Application July 24, 1957, Serial No. 673,904
2 Claims. (Cl. 15--=131) This invention relates to a liquid floor wax container and applicator for waxing or treating floor surfaces or linoleums.
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a liquid floor Wax applicator adapted to receive a liquid wax container in such a manner as to wedge and retain a polishing cloth or absorbent covering upon the applicator.
It is another object of the invention to provide a liquid floor wax applicator adapted to receive a retail container having punctured holes and covered with a tape through which tubes can be extended for discharging the contents of the container through the applicator and upon the polishing material or absorbent covering surrounding the applicator.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a wax and polish applicator in which the applicator is in the form of a simple open box with a swing handle on it and which is adapted to receive a standard size polishing can, with the neck of the can being extended through the opening in one end of the applicator.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a wax and polish applicator having the above objects in mind which is of simple construction, light in weight, inexpensive to manufacture, has a minimum number of parts, of pleasing appearance, effective and eflicient in use.
For a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a perspective view of the liquid floor wax container and applicator with the container installed in the applicator and the ends of the absorbent covering or polishing cloth wedged by the container against the side walls of the applicator,
Fig. 2 is a top perspective view of the applicator box alone similar to Fig. 1 but with the liquid container and the absorbent covering removed therefrom,
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the liquid container with the tape that covers the perforated drain holes lifted at one end to show one of the holes in full,
Fig. 4 is a side end view of the applicator with the polishing cloth absorbent covering secured thereto, and
Fig. 5 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the assembly as viewed on line 5-5 of Fig. 1.
Referring now to the figures, represents a box-like applicator that has a bottom 11, end walls 12, 13 and side walls 14 and 15. The bottom 11 has a series of puncturing and metering tubes 16 spaced from one another and extending along the middle of the bottom. These puncturing tubes have a flat head 17 that engages with the undersurface of the bottom 11, a metering orifice 18 and a sharpened or tapering adhesive puncturing end 19 that projects upwardly from the inner surface of the applicator bottom 11.
The end 13 has a notch opening 20 therein. Extending between the end walls 12 and 13, is a handle bail 21 having a top sleeve 22 in which a handle piece 23 is 2 tightly fitted. The ends of the bail are turned inwardly and respectively enter pivot sockets 24 on the end walls of the applicator. The bail 21 can be swung to one side or the other of the applicator and downwardly over the sides thereof.
A liquid wax container 25 of the standard size and shape and having a filling neck 26 with a cap 27 thereon and a flat side 28 with a series of drain holes 29 extends along the middle thereof. These drain holes 29 may be respectively aligned with the respective metering tubes 16 in the bottom 11 of the applicator 10. The container 25 is laid on its flat side 28 within the applicator with enough play between the side walls 14 and 15 of the applicator to leave suflicient space for the ends of an absorbent covering or polishing cloth 30 as indicated at 31 and 32 to be wedged between the container and the side walls 14 and 15 of the applicator. The absorbent covering or polishing cloth 30 extends about the bottom 11 of the applicator and is drawn tightly under this bottom and over the side walls as the ends 31 and 32 are forced downwardly into the applicator by the container 25.
Over the holes 29 there is extended a water and oil resistant adhesive tape 33 which will be punctured by the sharpened ends 19 of the metering tubes 16. The neck 26 of the container is so located with respect to the drain holes 29 that the cutting ends 19 of the puncturing and metering tubes 16 will be properly aligned with the holes 29 of the container as the neck 26 is lowered into the notch 20 of the end wall 13 of the applicator 10. The liquid wax will flow through the metering orifices 18 in tubes 19 and will be absorbed upon the covering 30. As the applicator is worked upon the floor surface or linoleum by the handle 23, the liquid is distributed thereover and a wax finish will be given thereto.
It will be seen that the container 25 filled with the liquid wax can be sold over any retail store counter and when the container is empty it can be replaced by another container by simply applying another adhesive tape over the perforations 29 in order to enable the container to be refilled. The polishing cloth or absorbent covering can be separately supplied and replaced when a diiferent covering is needed.
While various changes may be made in the detailed construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. In combination, a liquid wax applicator having an open top box with bottom, side and end walls, a puncturing and metering tube extending through and upwardly from said bottom wall, a liquid container adapted to be lowered into the applicator box, an absorbent covering cloth extending under the bottom and over the side walls of the applicator box and having ends extended downwardly into the box over the side walls thereof, said container engaging the ends of the covering and wedging the same into the box against outward displacement therefrom as the container is penetrated by the metering and dispensing tube in the bottom of the applicator to provide a drain hole.
2. A combination as defined in claim 1, in which said container has a preformed drain hole therein and an adhesive tape normally covering said drain hole and penetrated by the metering and dispensing tube in the bottom of the applicator, said puncturing and dispensing tube being in the middle of the bottom and said container having end parts with a neck on one end part offset from the middle thereof, said box having a notch in the upper edge of an end wall to one side of a vertical longitudinally medial plane through the box to receive the neck of References Cited in the file of this patent UNITED STATES PATENTS Wolfe Apr. 29, 1913 Steiert Apr. 4, 1950
