Jan. 29, 1963 3,075,229 A. J. RUFO LIQUID SHOE POLISH APPLIER Filed Dec. a, 1958 INVENTOR. ARTHUR J Rum ATTORNEYS I 3,075,229 LIQUID SHOE POLISH APPLIER Arthur .I. Ruin, Lorain, Ohio, assignor, by mesne assignments, to L. S. Kaufman 8: Sons, Inc, Cleveland, Ohio, a corporation of Ohio Filed Dec. 8, 1953, Ser. No. 778,829 4 Claims. (Cl. -543) This invention relates to the application of a liquid or fluid, and more particularly to a means for applying liquid shoe polish to a persons shoes.
The object of the invention is to provide a device which facilitates the application of liquid shoe polish to shoes, as for example when said liquid shoe polish is arranged in a squeeze type bottle or container.
Another object of the invention is to provide a liquid shoe polish applicator which consists of a soft spreader that is adapted to receive liquid shoe polish from a suitable surface being cleaned or polished.
A further object of the invention is to provide a liquid The numeral 15 indicates a spreader of soft material device is not being used, and the cap 18 can be readily removed When the shoe polish is to be applied.

engagement therewith.
From the foregoing, it is apparent that there has been provided a device hich is especially suitable for use 15 to the support member 14.
The support member 14 is positioned in the neck 12 with a snug fit.
device can be arranged in any suitable type of container, squeeze bottle or the like.
In the assembly shown in FIGURES 4 and 5, the
he parts may be made of any suitable material and in different shapes and sizes.
If desired the spreader may beheld in place. by means of a suitable adhesive or cement.
light tension spring 31. Thus, the outlet 28 will remain. plugged sov that there. will be. no. dripping when the bottle is inverted.
To operate the device, the bottle or container is squeezed so. that liquid will: flow. into the. area 2?? and around the. ball 3.0. then through the opening 28; and onto, the spreader or pad 21.. oration is completed, a suitable. cap is arranged oyer the. device and such a. cap, may be proyided with a. pin 6. which fits through the opening 29. so as to keep the outlet. opening, clean when the cap1 is. remoized', ready for the next application, and this helps insure against clogging or plugging or the outlet.
The. squeeze. bottle may be; made of any suitable ma. terial such as plastic, rubber, or the like.
Thus, it will be, seen that there has been provided a device. which will permit shoes to be readily polished with, liquid polish simply by, inserting the applier into. the neck, of; the plastic container and then squeezing the polish out in order to. polish shoes. as required. this will; eliminate. messy hands, spilling, rubbing as well as excessive use of polish.
w en; thedevicje in FIGURES 1,2, and 3 is being used, iris; only necessary to invert thebottle and squeeze so, that the, polish will pass. out through the tube 17-. I119 in er diametr of the: tube 1'7 is small: enough so thatwhm he bottle is inverted, polish will not accidentlyrun out or. pass. therethrough since it is necessary to scniepzev the; bottle in order to. dispense. the liquid shoe polish.-
Betemns new to FIGURE 61 oi the drawings, the numeral 8 indicates. a closure or cap which can be used for the device such as the, device shown in FIGURE 5, and; the, closure 8 includes a threaded portion '7 aswell s a. Pin 61 which can be used for helping retain the openings. or passageways clearor for preventing the open g from becomi g clo d j shown in. FIGURE, 5;, there. is provided proiections 5, and the ball 30 is adapted to.- set on the projections- Qlt 1 .93125 .5 in the; tapered hole instead of beingdirectly seated it so. as to. have a slight clearance of about .002 inch. between. theball 3,0 and the. wall of the tapered hple. which is party of the passageway 25. This permits liquid to flow more easily'when the bottle is squeezed. Mino changes; in. shape, size, and rearrangement of details coming within the field of invention claimed may. be, resorted to. in actual practice, it desired.
In a liquid applier, por ion. of squeezable material, a neck extendingfromsaid body portion to provide, a cylindrical bore, a flanged support: member snugly: seated in the bore, the support being provided with. a fluid passageway therethrough dean annular transverse shoulder seat intermediate its ends and facing in a direction opposite the outer end of the support, a reciprocal valving member disposed a container including a body.
within the passageway in a position opposed to the shoulder seat and spring pressed in a direction towards the seat, means to maintain the valving member slightly spaced from the shoulder member, when said valving member is in the closed position, and spreader means of soft material mounted on the outer end of the support member and prov'ded with an aperture therethrough in substantial registry with the fluid passageway.
2. Structure as. defined inclaim 1 characterized in that the means or maintaining the valving member in slightly spaced relationship from the shoulder includes a pluralityv of projection means on the shoulder adapted to abut the yalving member when in closed position.
3. Structure as defined in claim 1 wherein the means for maintaining the valving member in slightly spaced relationship from. the shoulder member includes a plurality of" projections provided on one of the members. and adapted to abut the other when the valving member is in closed position.
4. In a liquid applier, a container including a body portion of squeezable material, a neckextending from said body. portion, a support member snugly seated in the neck, the support being provided with a fluid passageway therethrough defining an annular transverse shoulder seat intermediate its ends and iacing in a directorv opposite the outer end otthe support, a reciprocal valving member disposed within the passageway in a position opposed to the shoulder seat and spring pressed in a direction toward the seat, means to main tain the valving member slightly spaced from the shoulder member, when said: valving member is in the closed position, and spreader means of sol-t material mounted 'on the outer end of the support member and provided with an aperture therethrough in substantial registry with the fluid passageway, a cap for cooperation with the necl; to close the container when not in use, the cap including an elongated; longitudinally extending pin which, when the cap is in position on the neck, 'is received within the fluid passageway to abut the valving member and force the same in a direction away from the shoulder.
