H. J. PRIBpRGH. SHOE PQLISHER. APPLICATION Nmap Annan, 1906.
Patented 1390.28, 1909.
ATE IC.
HENRY J. FRIEDRICH, OF RACINE, WISCONSIN.
SHOE-POLISHER.
Application filed August 11, 1906. Serial No. 330,109.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY J. FRIEDRICH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Racine, in the county of Racine and State oflVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Polishers, of which the following is 'a specication, reference being had to the accompanying` drawing, forming a part thereof.
The main obfeet of this invention is to provide a simple, effective and handy polisherfor boots and shoes having a receptacle adapted to contain a dauber and to serve as4 a palm support or rest for the hand which grasps the polisher, and means for protect- .ing the 'dauber when not in use from the atmosphere and keeping it soft.
It consists in certain -novel features of construction and in the peculiar arrangement'and combination of parts as hereinafter'particularly described and pointed out -in the v claim.
In the accompanying drawing like characters designate the same parts in theseveral figures.
Figure l is a longitudinal section 0n the line l l, Figs@ and 3, of a shoe polisher embodying the present invention; Fig. 2 is a plan View of the device, a portion of the dauber case cover being broken away, and Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 3 3, Fig. l.
The polisher consists of a back a, a cushion or pad and a strip of polishing material o covering the cushion, and tacked or othery wise attached at its ends to the ends of the back. The back a is preferably made of wood or similar material. and is formed in the sides, as shown in Fig. 8, with longitudinal grooves or recesses to afford a better .hold for the thumb vand fingers of the user.
It is partially cut away at the ends, as shown in Fig. l, to receive theends of the polishing strip c, which are preferably folded in to cover theraw edges of the material and produce a stronger fastening. The cushion b may be made, as shown, of one or more layers of heavy felt which are secured to the back by screws, shown in Fig. l', or by other suitable means. The polishing strip o is preferably made of what is known ear-plush, which forms a sott brush that will produce a tine, even polish witlr out scratching the leather and at the same.
time will not absorb the bl'acking or paste and bccomestilf and hard with repeated use.
The back a is formed with a recess in which a case (Z for the dauber'is fitted and secured, as shown in Fig. 1, by screws or by other suitable means. The bottoni of this case is preferably covered or lined with a pad of felt jor similar soft material. A rounded cover e which fits the palm of the hand and atfords a convenient support 0r rest when graspilig and using the polisher, 1s hinged at one side to the case (l whichprojects above or beyond the outer face of the back a. The dauber case and its cover may bc conveniently stamped from thin sheet metal, and the cover is held closed by corresponding indentations of the metal as shown at 7 in Fig. 3.
The dauber, which is preferably made round in cross section, consists of a handle g and a pad L of felt or similar material glued or otherwise attached to one end of thehandie. The pad z. is made of somewhat larger diameter than the end of the handle to which lit is attached, and a cylindrical metal cap z' is snugly fitted over it to protect it from the air when itis not in use. The cap is provided with a piece of felt or other absorbent material which is saturated or supplied with turpentine 0r the like to keep the pad hsoft and in good working condition. The blacking or paste with which the dauber pan becomes saturated or coated, and which becomes hard when left exposed to the air, isthus kept soft bythe exclusion of air and by contact with the turpentine saturated piece of felt j when the dauber is not in use.
A shoe polisher having a recessed back and longitudinal grooves in the sides, a polishing face,'and a dauber case fitting partially within the back and having an arched hinged v'cover lying above the top surface of the back and of materially less strength and width than" the back. to form a rest for the palm of the hand when the thumb and tingers enter the grooved sides of the back, substantially as described.
In witness whereof I hereto altix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HENRY J. FRIEDRICH.
