Description

DISPOSITIF POUR L'APPLICATION, L'ÉTALEMENT ET LE LUSTRAGE DEVICE FOR APPLICATION, SPREADING AND BRUSHING
DE CIRAGE OU CIRECIRAGE OR WAX
La présente invention concerne l'application de cirage ou de cire sur des surfaces, notamment sur des chaussures ou sur des articles ou du mobilier, ainsi que le lustrage de la cire ou du cirage appliqué. L'invention concerne en particulier un dispositif comprenant un réservoir distributeur de cirage ou cire, un applicateur tel qu'une brosse pour son étalement, et une éponge ou équivalent pour le lustrage de la surface sur laquelle le cirage ou la cire est appliqué.The present invention relates to the application of waxing or waxing on surfaces, in particular on shoes or on articles or furniture, as well as the polishing of wax or waxing applied. The invention particularly relates to a device comprising a wax dispenser reservoir or wax, an applicator such as a brush for spreading, and a sponge or equivalent for polishing the surface on which the wax or wax is applied.
Pour simplifier, on utilisera dans la suite indifféremment les termes "cirage" ou cire". Sauf indication contraire, l'un et l'autre de ces termes doit alors être considéré comme désignant l'un ou l'autre de ces produits, ou les deux. II sera également fait référence au cirage des chaussures, bien qu'il doive être entendu que l'invention s'applique également et tout aussi bien à d'autres articles, tels que par exemple sacs, fauteuils, blousons, etc.For the sake of simplicity, the terms "waxing" or wax will be used interchangeably. "Unless otherwise indicated, either of these terms must then be regarded as designating one or other of these products, or Both will also be referred to shoe polish, although it should be understood that the invention is equally applicable to other articles as well, such as bags, armchairs, jackets, etc.
Par "application de cirage ou cire", on entend ici aussi bien l'application sur une surface entière, que l'application sur une partie de surface, par exemple pour des traitements localisés ou des retouches.By "waxing application or wax" is meant here as well the application on an entire surface, as the application on a surface part, for example for localized treatments or retouching.
On connaît des dispositifs plus ou moins sophistiqués destinés à l'application de cirage sur des chaussures, comportant un réservoir de cirage liquide ou pâteux, des moyens accessoires pour l'étalement d'une quantité de cirage préalablement extraite du réservoir, et des moyens séparés pour le lustrage des surfaces sur lesquelles le cirage a été appliqué.More or less sophisticated devices are known for the application of polishing on shoes, comprising a liquid wax or pasty tank, accessory means for spreading a quantity of wax extracted from the tank, and separate means. for polishing surfaces on which waxing has been applied.
Le plus courant consiste en une boîte comportant, séparément, une boîte de cirage, une brosse et un chiffon.The most common is a box with, separately, a shoebox, a brush and a cloth.
Il a été proposé de motoriser les opérations de cirage des chaussuresIt has been proposed to motorize shoe polishing operations
(voir GB 2.439.275, FR 2.572.643), de distribuer un liquide avec un applicateur rotatif (voir FR 2.630.713, FR 2.608.071 et FR 2.596.674), d'utiliser un boîtier comportant plusieurs brosses entraînées électriquement (voir FR(see GB 2.439.275, FR 2.572.643), to distribute a liquid with a rotary applicator (see FR 2.630.713, FR 2.608.071 and FR 2.596.674), to use a housing comprising a plurality of electrically driven brushes ( see FR
2.572.643), de réunir une éponge et une brosse pour le nettoyage des chaussures sur une même plaque de base fixable sur une paroi (voir FR2,572,643), to gather a sponge and a brush for the cleaning of the shoes on the same base plate fixable on a wall (see FR
2.697.987), ou encore de distribuer une cire avec un tube de type stick (voir demande de brevet US 2003/0111360). 000752,697,987), or to distribute a wax with a stick-type tube (see patent application US 2003/0111360). 00075
Aucun de ces dispositifs ne permet de combiner sur un même support l'ensemble des éléments fonctionnels nécessaires pour l'application, l'étalement et le lustrage de cirage sur des surfaces, telles que des chaussures.None of these devices allows to combine on the same support all the functional elements necessary for the application, spreading and polishing wax on surfaces, such as shoes.
Sur la base de l'état de la technique décrit ci-dessus, il se pose alors le problème de procurer des moyens simples pour une application aisée de cirage, en tous lieux et en toutes circonstances, sans énergie électrique.On the basis of the state of the art described above, there is the problem of providing simple means for easy application of waxing, in all places and in all circumstances, without electrical energy.
On a maintenant trouvé qu'on peut résoudre ces problèmes, ainsi que d'autres, et procurer un dispositif particulièrement ergonomique pour l'application, l'étalement et le lustrage de cirage ou de cire sur des surfaces à traiter, notamment des chaussures, des vêtements, des meubles, des sols cirés, etc., en procurant un dispositif comportant:It has now been found that these and other problems can be solved and provide a particularly ergonomic device for the application, spreading and polishing of waxing or waxing on surfaces to be treated, especially shoes, clothing, furniture, waxed floors, etc., by providing a device comprising:
(a) un réservoir obturable contenant du- cirage semi-solide ou pâteux, ledit réservoir comportant un bouchon et étant agencé de telle manière que la masse de cirage peut être entraînée vers l'orifice au moyen d'un dispositif de poussage ou manuellement,(a) a closable reservoir containing semi-solid or pasty wax, said reservoir having a stopper and being arranged in such a way that the waxing mass can be driven to the orifice by means of a stuffing device or manually,
(b) au moins une brosse ou tout autre organe d'étalement, fixé ou fixable au dit réservoir et/ ou au bouchon d'obturation de celui-ci, et(b) at least one brush or other spreading member, fixed or attachable to said reservoir and / or the closure cap thereof, and
(c) au moins une éponge ou tout autre organe de lustrage classique, fixé ou fixable sur au moins l'une des parois du réservoir et/ ou de son bouchon ou du dispositif de poussage.(c) at least one sponge or other conventional polishing member, fixed or fixable on at least one of the walls of the tank and / or its cap or the stuffing device.
La combinaison de moyens selon l'invention permet aux éléments ainsi combinés fonctionnellement entre eux de jouer leurs rôles respectifs dans des conditions de facilité particulièrement remarquables, et de contribuer à un résultat d'ensemble amélioré, notamment en termes de praticité, d'ergonomie, d'économie de matières et de gain de place.The combination of means according to the invention allows the elements thus functionally combined with each other to play their respective roles under particularly remarkable conditions of facility, and to contribute to an overall improved result, particularly in terms of practicality, ergonomics, saving material and saving space.
Sous un premier aspect, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte un réservoir cylindrique ou sensiblement cylindrique, et est avantageusement du type stick ou bâton.In a first aspect, the device according to the invention comprises a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical reservoir, and is advantageously of the stick or stick type.
L'homme du métier connaît de tels sticks, qui sont préférentiellement constitués d'un tube ouvert à une extrémité, formant réservoir de cirage (a) et comportant à l'autre extrémité une pièce formant molette, apte à agir sur une tige filetée disposée longitudinalement au centre du tube et autour de laquelle est placée sur un plateau mobile en translation la matière, ici le cirage, à faire sortir du tube par poussée longitudinale. 75Those skilled in the art know such sticks, which are preferably constituted by a tube open at one end, forming a wax tank (a) and having at the other end a piece forming a wheel, able to act on a threaded rod disposed longitudinally in the center of the tube and around which is placed on a movable plate in translation the material, here the polish, to out of the tube by longitudinal thrust. 75
Dans une version simplifiée, le fond du réservoir peut être agencé pour permettre une poussée manuelle de la massé de cirage. Dans une telle forme de réalisation, la géométrie de la section transversale du réservoir et des autres pièces du stick s'y rapportant peut être quelconque (par exemple triangulaire, carrée, rectangulaire, pentagonale, hexagonale, ovale, elliptique, ou autre).In a simplified version, the bottom of the tank can be arranged to allow a manual push of the shoe polisher. In such an embodiment, the geometry of the cross section of the reservoir and the other parts of the stick relating thereto may be arbitrary (for example triangular, square, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, oval, elliptical, or other).
Dans une forme de réalisation, la brosse et/ ou toute pièce d'étalement équivalente (b) est fixée ou posée de manière amovible sur l'orifice du réservoir, et cette brosse ou cet organe d'étalement équivalent est à son tour avantageusement recouvert par un capuchon amovible, vissable ou encliqùetable.In one embodiment, the brush and / or any equivalent spreading piece (b) is fixed or releasably attached to the reservoir orifice, and this brush or equivalent spreading member is in turn advantageously covered by a removable cap, screwable or snap-on.
Bien que l'on préfère que la brosse (b) d'étalement du cirage soit disposée sur ou dans le capuchon de fermeture du réservoir, ladite brosse peut également être disposée sur la face externe de la molette de poussée du cirage. Dans ce cas, ladite brosse est tournée vers l'extérieur et comporte de préférence un capuchon de protection vissable ou encliqùetable; en variante, elle peut être logée, de manière fixe ou amovible, dans le fond d'un capuchon vissable ou encliqùetable sur ladite molette.Although it is preferred that the wax spreading brush (b) is disposed on or in the closure cap of the reservoir, said brush may also be disposed on the outer face of the waxing push wheel. In this case, said brush is turned outwardly and preferably comprises a screw-on or snap-on protective cap; alternatively, it can be housed, fixedly or removably, in the bottom of a cap screw or snap on said wheel.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, ladite éponge et/ ou ladite brosse est fixée ou fixable au moyen d'un adhésif ou d'une autre manière sur la paroi latérale externe du tube distributeur de cirage. Dans cette variante, l'éponge ou la brosse peut prendre la forme d'un manchon fixable ou coulissable le long de la paroi ou d'une partie de ladite paroi latérale externe de l'applicateur, en variante par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce dont une face épouse une telle géométrie et dont l'autre face est sensiblement plane ou faiblement incurvée. Dans cette variante également, un capuchon pour le recouvrement de l'éponge et/ ou de la brosse par coulissage ou clipsage constitue une option préférée.According to another embodiment, said sponge and / or said brush is fixed or fixable by means of an adhesive or otherwise on the outer side wall of the wax dispenser tube. In this variant, the sponge or the brush may take the form of a sleeve that can be fixed or slidable along the wall or a portion of said external lateral wall of the applicator, alternatively via a piece with a face that marries such a geometry and whose other face is substantially flat or slightly curved. In this variant also, a cap for covering the sponge and / or the brush by sliding or clipping is a preferred option.
Le réservoir présente en outre de manière utile un filetage extérieur qui est raccordé avec un filetage intérieur en correspondance, situé sur le capuchon. De cette manière, il suffit de visser le capuchon pour garantir la fermeture du réservoir. Lorsqu'on utilise un réservoir en matière plastique, le filetage extérieur peut a priori être intégré dans le réservoir, tandis que quand on utilise un réservoir en aluminium ou autre métal fermé à une extrémité, on intercale en règle générale une pièce ou insert en matière plastique ayant un filetage extérieur. On peut utiliser comme matière plastique en particulier du polypropylène. Le polypropylène convient également comme matériau pour le bouchon et/ ou le capuchon.The reservoir further advantageously has an external thread which is connected with a corresponding internal thread on the cap. In this way, simply screw the cap to ensure that the tank is closed. When a plastic tank is used, the external thread can be integrated in the tank, whereas when an aluminum or other metal tank is used at one end, a piece or insert made of plastic having an external thread. Polypropylene can be used as a plastic material. Polypropylene is also suitable as a material for the cap and / or the cap.
Dans une forme de réalisation particulièrement préférée du dispositif selon l'invention, la brosse ou l'organe d'étalement équivalent (b) est disposée dans le fond d'un bouchon formant lui-même capuchon, de manière à avoir ses poils ou autres éléments d'épandage tournés vers la réserve de drage contenue dans le réservoir lorsque le capuchon portant cette brosse est repositionné sur ledit réservoir pour l'obturer. Dans cette variante, les poils ou autres éléments d'épandage doivent avoir leurs extrémités libres ou leur surface extrême qui dépassent significativement du volume défini par ledit capuchon. De manière avantageuse, l'assujettissement du capuchon sur le réservoir peut s'effectuer par vissage entre un pas de vis externe situé sur le pourtour de la partie d'extrémité du réservoir, du côté de l'ouverture de celui-ci, et un pas de vis correspondant, situé en position appropriée sur la face interne dudit capuchon.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, the brush or the equivalent spreading member (b) is arranged in the bottom of a cap itself forming a cap, so as to have its bristles or other spreading elements facing the dredging reserve contained in the tank when the cap carrying this brush is repositioned on said tank to seal it. In this variant, the bristles or other spreading elements must have their free ends or their end surface which significantly exceed the volume defined by said cap. Advantageously, the securing of the cap on the reservoir can be made by screwing between an external screw thread located around the periphery of the end portion of the reservoir, on the opening side thereof, and a no corresponding screw, located in appropriate position on the inner face of said cap.
Plus avantageusement encore, le capuchon et le réservoir sont agencés et munis d'organes classiques pour fermeture par encliquetage et pour maintien du capuchon libre en rotation. De cette manière, on permet à la brosse de venir en appui sur la surface du cirage contenu dans le réservoir, et de lécher cette surface de cirage lorsqu'on fait tourner la brosse dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Il suffit ensuite de soulever et d'extraire ce capuchon pour disposer d'une brosse enduite de cirage qu'il ne reste plus qu'à appliquer sur l'article chaussant ou toute autre surface à cirer. Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte également un organe de lustrage (c) intégré ou intégrable, consistant en une éponge ou tout autre élément tel qu'un tissu ou un non-tissé mis en forme pour pouvoir être fixé, de manière permanente ou amovible, sur au moins l'une des surfaces externes dudit réservoir. Ledit élément de lustrage est avantageusement muni d'un capuchon de protection, qu'il suffit d'ôter pour dégager cet élément lors de son utilisation.More preferably, the cap and the reservoir are arranged and provided with conventional members for snap closure and for holding the cap free to rotate. In this way, the brush is allowed to rest on the surface of the shoe polish contained in the reservoir, and to lick this shoe surface when the brush is rotated in one direction or the other. Then simply lift and extract this cap to have a waxed brush that remains to be applied to the footwear or other surface waxing.

le corps du tube ou une partie de celui-ci est transparent ou translucide, ou comporte une fenêtre transparente ou translucide, de manière à permettre de visualiser la couleur du cirage et/ ou le niveau de celui-ci dans le tube. L'invention est décrite plus en détail en référence aux figures annexées, qui représentent:the body of the tube or a part thereof is transparent or translucent, or has a transparent or translucent window, so as to display the color of the polish and / or the level thereof in the tube. The invention is described in more detail with reference to the appended figures, which represent:
Figure 1 une vue en coupe schématique et en éclaté d'une forme de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention sans l'éponge (Fig. IA) et une coupe longitudinale (Fig. IB) et transversale (Fig. IC) de l'éponge et de son élément de fixation sur le corps du tube, et1 is a diagrammatic and exploded sectional view of an embodiment of the device according to the invention without the sponge (FIG IA) and a longitudinal section (FIG IB) and transverse section (FIG IC) of the sponge and its fastener on the body of the tube, and
Figure 2 une vue en coupe schématique et en éclaté d'une variante de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention avec l'éponge dans un capuchon fixable sur la face externe de la molette du stick.Figure 2 a schematic and exploded sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention with the sponge in a cap attachable to the outer face of the knob of the stick.
Comme le montre la Fig. 1, le tube 1 comporte un corps creux 2 et une molette 3 apte à pousser de façon traditionnelle un plateau 4 et une tige filetée 5 entraînant une masse de cirage 6 sous l'effet de la rotation de la molette. La rotation dans un sens fait monter la masse de cirage vers l'ouverture, tandis que la rotation dans l'autre sens la fait redescendre.As shown in FIG. 1, the tube 1 comprises a hollow body 2 and a wheel 3 adapted to push in a traditional manner a plate 4 and a threaded rod 5 causing a waxing mass 6 under the effect of the rotation of the wheel. Rotation in one direction causes the mass of waxing to rise towards the opening, while rotation in the other direction causes it to descend.
En variante, le poussage de la masse de cirage peut être effectué manuellement, par exemple au moyen d'un poussoir approprié.Alternatively, the pushing of the waxing mass can be carried out manually, for example by means of a suitable pusher.
Par un moyen de solidarisation approprié, le bouchon 9 peut être fixé sur le tube 1 (ici un pas de vis externe 7 sur le tube 1 et un pas de vis interne 8 sur le bouchon 9, en correspondance l'un avec l'autre). Ce bouchon porte une brosse 10, et un capuchon 11 apte à recouvrir celle-ci.By a suitable securing means, the cap 9 can be fixed on the tube 1 (here an external screw thread 7 on the tube 1 and an internal thread 8 on the plug 9, in correspondence with each other ). This plug carries a brush 10, and a cap 11 adapted to cover it.
Les Figures IB et IC montrent l'éponge 12 et la pièce de soutien 13 de celle-ci, pour fixation de l'ensemble sur la paroi latérale du tube 1, ainsi que le capuchon 14 amovible, destiné à recouvrir l'éponge 12. Dans la variante de réalisation représentée sur la Figure 2, la position de la brosse 10 dans le bouchon 9 est inversée. La brosse 10 est fixée dans le fond du bouchon 9, qui forme également en lui-même un premier capuchon 9-11. Le couvercle du capuchon 9-11 ainsi formé peut comporter en option (non représentée) une éponge 12, elle-même avantageusement protégée par un capuchon amovible 14. Dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur la R2010/000075Figures IB and IC show the sponge 12 and the support part 13 thereof, for fixing the assembly on the side wall of the tube 1, as well as the removable cap 14, intended to cover the sponge 12. In the alternative embodiment shown in Figure 2, the position of the brush 10 in the plug 9 is reversed. The brush 10 is fixed in the bottom of the plug 9, which also forms in itself a first cap 9-11. The lid of the cap 9-11 thus formed may optionally comprise (not shown) a sponge 12, itself advantageously protected by a removable cap 14. In the embodiment shown in FIG. R2010 / 000075

Figure 2, l'éponge est logée dans un capuchon 14 fixable de manière amovible, par exemple par vissage ou endiquetage, sur la face externe de la molette 3 du stick.2, the sponge is housed in a cap 14 detachably removable, for example by screwing or splicing, on the outer face of the wheel 3 of the stick.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation (non représentée) du dispositif selon l'invention, on met en œuvre un stick double, comportant avantageusement une molette unique, apte à activer en même temps l'avancée de la masse de cirage d'un côté et la sortie d'une brosse fixe ou amovible et/ ou d'une éponge de l'autre. Un tel dispositif est alors composé de deux tubes du type stick tel que décrit plus haut, placés tête-bêche, rendus solidaires des deux faces d'une même molette par leurs fonds respectifs, et dont la vis interne a des pas respectifs de sens opposés. La longueur des tubes respectifs est de préférence différente, car la course du déplacement de la masse de cirage est plus élevée que celle de la brosse et/ ou l'éponge, à diamètre égal. Dans cette forme de réalisation, il convient dans la pratique de démultiplier l'effet de la molette sur la brosse et/ ou l'éponge , pour que la course de celle-ci soit plus courte et/ ou moins rapide que celle du cirage. Cela s'effectue avantageusement au moyen d'un pas de vis plus court ou progressivement raccourci et/ ou grâce à une tige filetée de plus grand diamètre, du côté de la brosse et/ ou de l'éponge.In another embodiment (not shown) of the device according to the invention, it implements a double stick, advantageously comprising a single wheel, able to activate at the same time the advance of the polishing mass on one side and the output of a fixed or removable brush and / or a sponge of the other. Such a device is then composed of two tubes of the stick type as described above, placed head to tail, made integral with the two faces of the same wheel by their respective bottoms, and whose internal screw has respective pitches of opposite directions . The length of the respective tubes is preferably different because the stroke of the displacement of the polishing mass is higher than that of the brush and / or the sponge, with equal diameter. In this embodiment, it is convenient in practice to increase the effect of the wheel on the brush and / or sponge, so that the stroke thereof is shorter and / or slower than that of waxing. This is advantageously done by means of a shorter screw pitch or progressively shortened and / or through a threaded rod of larger diameter, the side of the brush and / or the sponge.
Dans cette forme de réalisation, les diamètres des deux tubes peuvent être égaux ou différents.In this embodiment, the diameters of the two tubes may be equal or different.
Dans encore une autre forme de réalisation, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte à l'extrémité ouverte du stick un opercule percé de trous et/ ou muni d'ajutages, tandis que ledit opercule (ou plaque d'extrémité) est lui-même recouvert par une bague pivotable comportant un deuxième opercule où plaque en correspondance avec le précédent et comprenant des perforations aptes à être, à convenance, soit mises en correspondance avec les trous et/ ou ajutages du premier opercule, soit décalées de ceux-ci de telle sorte que la plaque les comportant obture lesdites perforations et/ ou lesdits ajutages. En pratique, une telle forme de réalisation utilise une technologie telle que celle mise en oeuvre classiquement pour les récipients verseurs de sel ou de sucre en poudre. R2010/000075In yet another embodiment, the device according to the invention comprises at the open end of the stick a cap pierced with holes and / or provided with nozzles, while said cap (or end plate) is itself covered by a pivotable ring having a second cap where plate corresponding to the previous and comprising perforations adapted to be, suitably, is matched with the holes and / or nozzles of the first cover, or offset from them of such so that the plate comprising them closes said perforations and / or said nozzles. In practice, such an embodiment uses a technology such as that conventionally used for pouring containers of salt or powdered sugar. R2010 / 000075
La disposition des dits trous peut être quelconque, notamment en périphérie, en étoile, le long de n branches d'une étoile à n = 3-6 branches, et/ ou le long de n rayons, avec n = 3-6 de préférence.The arrangement of said holes can be arbitrary, especially at the periphery, in a star, along n branches of a star with n = 3-6 branches, and / or along n rays, with n = 3-6 preferably .
Ledit deuxième opercule peut ainsi assurer la fonction de racleur du cirage extrait du stick et non-utilisé.Said second seal can thus ensure the scraper function of the wax extracted from the stick and not used.
Cet ensemble est avantageusement surmonté d'un couvercle comportant une brosse sur la face interne de son fond, et vissable ou de préférence endiquetable sur la bague et le deuxième opercule susdits, avec faculté de rotation. Dans une forme de réalisation alternative, c'est le bouchon du stickThis assembly is advantageously surmounted by a cover having a brush on the inner face of its bottom, and screwable or preferably end-clampable on the ring and the second cap above, with rotational faculty. In an alternative embodiment, it is the plug of the stick
(avantageusement en aluminium et/ ou en matière plastique), qui comporte des trous débouchant sur la face externe dudit bouchon par des embouts qui permettent la sortie du cirage, et sur lesquels peut se clipser une brosse solidaire d'une plaque. Cette plaque, de préférence en aluminium, comporte des trous pour laisser passer les touffes de poils de la brosse et des trous en correspondance avec les embouts susdits.(Advantageously aluminum and / or plastic), which has holes opening on the outer face of said cap by end caps that allow the exit of the wax, and on which can be clipped a brush integral with a plate. This plate, preferably aluminum, has holes for passing the tufts of bristles of the brush and holes in correspondence with the aforementioned tips.
En variante, le bouchon . susdit peut comporter lui-même, dans sa masse, les perforations pour le passage du cirage et celles destinées à la fixation de la base des poils de la brosse, tandis que la plaque susdite garde son utilité en tant que plaque ,de nettoyage.Alternatively, the plug. The aforesaid may itself comprise, in its mass, the perforations for the passage of the waxing and those for fixing the base of the bristles of the brush, while the aforesaid plate retains its usefulness as a plate cleaning.
Sous cet aspect, le dispositif permet :In this respect, the device allows:
• d'imprégner la brosse de cirage lorsqu'on fait monter le cirage dans le stick, donc à travers les trous du premier opercule, et lorsque les trous du deuxième opercule sont en correspondance avec ceux-ci, et que l'on fait tourner le couvercle comportant la brosse, et• to impregnate the waxing brush when waxing is mounted in the stick, so through the holes of the first seal, and when the holes of the second seal are in correspondence with them, and that one rotates the lid including the brush, and
• de nettoyer la brosse et/ ou le premier opercule et/ ou les ajutages de celui-ci, lorsqu'on les fait tourner l'un par rapport à l'autre tandis que les trous des deux opercules susdits ne sont pas en correspondance.• to clean the brush and / or the first cap and / or the nozzles thereof, when they are rotated relative to each other while the holes of the two aforementioned lids are not in correspondence.
L'invention a également pour objet des recharges de cirage ayant un volume et une géométrie appropriés pour permettre leur insertion dans le stick décrit ici, en remplacement d'une charge initiale ou d'une recharge usagée, prévues pour être extractibles.The invention also relates to waxing refills having a volume and geometry appropriate to allow their insertion into the stick described here, replacing an initial charge or a used refill, intended to be extractable.
Pour se servir du dispositif selon l'invention sous son aspect le plus général, l'utilisateur: • enlève le bouchon 9 du stick et fait tourner la molette 3 pour faire avancer le cirage 6 dans le corps creux 2 du tube 1;To use the device according to the invention in its most general aspect, the user: • removes the cap 9 of the stick and rotates the knob 3 to advance the waxing 6 in the hollow body 2 of the tube 1;
• met du cirage (soit directement soit en le prélevant au moyen de la brosse 10, éventuellement après avoir ôté le capuchon 11 de celle-ci) sur la chaussure ou autre article à cirer;• polishes (either directly or by taking it by means of the brush 10, possibly after removing the cap 11 thereof) on the shoe or other item to wax;
• referme si nécessaire le bouchon 9 du stick;• if necessary, close the cap 9 of the stick;
• utilise la brosse 10, pour étaler le cirage sur l'article à cirer, mais également pour enlever les gros morceaux de cirage ou d'autres matières, telles que des salissures, qui seraient allés se loger dans les coins; • repose le capuchon 11 sur la brosse 10;• uses the brush 10, to spread the polish on the article to be polished, but also to remove large pieces of polish or other materials, such as dirt, which would have lodged in the corners; • rests the cap 11 on the brush 10;
• enlève le capuchon 14 de l'éponge 12 et passe celle-ci sur la surface de l'article à lustrer, puis repose le capuchon 14 sur l'éponge 12.• removes the cap 14 of the sponge 12 and passes it on the surface of the article to be polished, then rests the cap 14 on the sponge 12.
Comme le montre la description qui précède, le dispositif selon l'invention n'est pas limité à une forme géométrique particulière; il peut en outre être réalisé en toutes matières et matériaux, par exemple, mais non limitativement : matières plastiques, métal, bois, carton enduit, etc.As shown in the foregoing description, the device according to the invention is not limited to a particular geometrical shape; it can also be made of any materials and materials, for example, but not limited to: plastics, metal, wood, coated cardboard, etc.
La taille et les proportions des divers éléments du dispositif selon l'invention peuvent être choisies à convenance, à la condition qu'elles soient compatibles entre elles pour les éléments qui coopèrent entre eux. Sur la base des indications qui précèdent et de ses propres connaissances, l'homme du métier est apte à ajuster à convenance, la consistance et l'empâtage du cirage, pour optimiser l'utilisation de celui-ci. Un cirage, trop dur est difficile à extraire du stick, tandis qu'un cirage trop mou a tendance à être prélevé plus aisément et à être consommé plus rapidement. Entre ces deux extrêmes, un cirage substantiellement consistant et pâteux est préféré, car il permet un étalement régulier sur la surface à cirer. The size and proportions of the various elements of the device according to the invention can be chosen to suit, provided that they are compatible with each other for the elements that cooperate with each other. On the basis of the foregoing indications and his own knowledge, the skilled person is able to suitably adjust the consistency and pasting of waxing, to optimize the use of it. Shoe polish, which is too hard, is difficult to remove from the stick, whereas a shoe polish that is too soft tends to be removed more easily and consumed more quickly. Between these two extremes, a substantially consistent and pasty waxing is preferred because it allows even spreading on the surface to be waxed.
