The exemplary shoe treatment device 50 shown in FIG. 13 also shows two treatment agent containers 22 and treatment tools 72 respectively located in the slots of the drum 74 of the treatment magazine 70. One of the treatment agent containers 22 and the treatment tools 72 is located in a primary treatment position 18. According to the embodiment shown For example, the treatment agent containers 22 have a cylinder body 90, which is essentially hollow, and an outlet opening 92 whose diameter is smaller than that of the cylinder body 90. The cylinder body 90 has a cavity, which is delimited by a metering piston 94 that is movably mounted in the cylinder body 90 and may at least partially contain treatment agents for the treatment of a shoe. By moving or moving the metering piston 94 in the direction of the outlet opening 92, treatment agent can be dispensed or extruded from the treatment agent container 22. According to a preferred embodiment, the treatment agent containers 22 have a cylinder body 90 with a diameter between about 15 mm and about 35 mm and a length of about 35 mm to about 65 mm and / or are configured in the form of a syringe.

The shoe treatment apparatus 50 of FIG. 13 further comprises a metering device which enables a dispensing of treatment agent to a treatment tool 72 or a supply of treatment agent to a treatment tool 72. Preferably, the metering device comprises a Dosierhebe! (or Dosierknopf) 21, which can be manually operated by the user. The metering lever 21 is coupled to a movable relative to the handle portion 55 feed bar 68, which is moved or displaced or upon actuation or pressing of the metering lever 21. Alternatively, moving or displacing the feed bar 68 can be automated or by a motor, for example, after a button is pressed by the user. In the preferred embodiment shown, the feed rod 68 is displaced (substantially linearly) by the metering lever 21. As shown in FIG. 13, one of the treatment agent containers 22, namely the processing agent container 22 in the primary treatment position 18, is arranged such that the feed rod 68 can act on the feed piston 94 of the treatment agent container 22 by moving or moving in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the feed rod 68. Thus, actuation of the metering lever 21 causes displacement of the metering piston 94 within the cylinder body 90 of the treating agent container 22 relative to the handle portion 55 and delivery of treating agents to the treatment tool 72 located in the primary treating position 18 Preferably, the dosing lever (dosing button) has an actuating path (particularly preferably even adjustable) in order to effect a specific amount of treatment agent with a (complete) actuation of the dosing lever. For a special reliable dosage of the agent is achieved. In order to adjust the dosage of the treatment agent, preferably either a front or a rear stop of the metering lever is adjustable, so that the metering either when releasing moved back into an adjustable starting position or when pressing can not be moved as far as the adjustable stop.

Figure 14 shows a detailed view of part of an exemplary shoe treatment device. As in the embodiment of FIG. 12, the treatment tool 72 located in the primary treatment position 18 is in a treatment tooling 72 opposite the other (in a passive position) of the shoe treatment device 50 so that a beneficial effect of the present in the primary treatment position 18 treatment tool 72 is ensured. In the example shown, a treatment tool 72, as it is conveyed from a passive position to the primary treatment position 18, is displaced in a forward direction. In other words, the treatment tool 72 undergoes a displacement which causes the treatment tool to protrude out of the shoe treatment device 50 in the direction of a shoe to be treated when using the shoe treatment device 50.

A treatment tool 72 may be coupled or connected to a treatment agent container 22 located in the same slot. In the embodiment shown, at least part of a treatment agent channel 78 is formed in a treatment tool 72, with which the treatment agent 72 is connected or coupled in a substantially fluid-tight manner to the outlet opening 92 of the treatment agent container 22 of the same slot. The treatment agent channel 78 is preferably arranged along the axis of rotation of the treatment tool 72. More preferably, a coupling structure 80 is present in the treatment agent channel 78, which rotatably couples the outlet opening 92 of the treatment agent container 22 about the axis of rotation of the treatment tool 72 with the treatment agent channel 78. This advantageous embodiment makes it possible for the treatment tool 72 to be driven in rotation, in particular in an oscillating manner, with the treatment agent container 22 being provided fixed or immobile in the slot.

The crank member 62 of the treatment magazine 70 is mechanically coupled to the treatment tools 72 so that the treatment tools 72 are drivable by the crank member 62. The crank member 62 is driven by the connecting rod 60 of the coupled handle portion 55 rotating, in particular oscillating. In the illustrated embodiment, the crank member 62 has teeth disposed on the outer periphery thereof. The teeth of the crank member 62 engage teeth on the outer periphery of the treatment agent channel forming portion of Treatment tools 72. In this way, the drive of the connecting rod 60 is transmitted by the drive unit 56 to the treatment tools 72. The drive transmission described in the process is only an exemplary, preferred embodiment. The drive transmission from the drive unit 56 to one or more treatment tools 72 can also take place or be implemented in other suitable ways. For example, a sleeve element can be provided which can receive a pipe section 66 of a treatment tool 72 or a pipe section 66 connected to the treatment tool and which forms the treatment agent channel 78 (or at least a part thereof) and is non-rotatably connected to the treatment tool 72. The sleeve element (eg in the form of a gear 64) is driven by the crank element 62 of the treatment magazine 70 and transmits the drive to the treatment tool 72. In this way, a simple and universal replacement of the treatment tools 72 allows.

Also as an alternative to the aforementioned embodiments, the treatment agent channel 78 can be formed by a separate drive element, wherein the drive element at its respective ends with the treatment agent container 22 (rotatable) and with the treatment tool 72 (rotationally fixed) can be coupled (see Figure 16). In particular, when using a tubular portion 66 which extends within a sleeve member (eg formed as a gear 64) and forms the treating agent channel, contamination of the sleeve member (gear 64) by treating means can be prevented or reduced. In this case, the pipe section 66 can be fixed or separable / exchangeable connected to the treatment tool (eg via a bayonet lock). The use of such a pipe section 66 within the sleeve member makes it possible to leave the sleeve member as a driving component in the treatment magazine when the treatment tool and the treatment agent container is replaced without being affected by remaining residues of treatment agent in a change of Treatment agent to undesirable mixing of the treatment agent comes. In this case, simply the pipe section 66 (either as a component of the treatment tool or the treatment agent container or independently) with exchanged, the (eg formed as a gear 64) sleeve element can be retained or remain in the treatment magazine and does not need to be specially cleaned. Particularly preferably, the pipe section 66 in a region which is connected to the treating agent container 22, subsequently described coupling structures 80.

In another embodiment, illustrated in FIG. 17, each treatment tool is firmly (ie non-rotatable) connected to the associated treatment agent container. But it is particularly preferred if not only the respective treatment tool but also the associated treatment agent container rotatably mounted in the slot of the drum 74 of the treatment magazine rotatable, in particular oscillating rotatable together with the respective treatment agent container. In this case, it is particularly preferred if the treatment agent container 22 is connected to a corresponding crank element (analogous to the crank element 62 in the illustrated embodiments) at least in the primary treatment position 18 (in particular via one or more gears 64) or alternatively, for example by a shaft and / or a belt is connected to the drive unit 56. Thus, the treatment tool 72 can be actuated or driven via the treatment agent container 22. The one or more gears 64 are preferably integrally formed with the cylinder container 90 of the treatment agent container 22 and / or rotatably connected at one with the metering piston 94 of the treatment agent container. Also, an axial movement of the treatment tool when positioning the treatment tool in or out of the primary treatment position can be carried out together with the associated treatment agent container (and by means of these). Thus, the drive train for the (motorized) actuation of the respective treatment tool can be kept shorter, so be further limited to the handle portion of the shoe treatment device. In particular, could on the Connecting rod 60 are omitted and the eccentric 58 and the crank member 62 could be replaced by a direct gear drive (in the rear of the handle portion). The (oscillating) rotation is then transferred by means of the treatment agent container to the front of the treatment tool.

Alternatively, the respective treatment agent container 22 may be used in container carrier, wherein the container carrier are rotatably mounted in the respective slots of the drum 74. The container carriers have a crank element (analogous to the crank element 62 in the illustrated embodiments) and / or a gear 64, which is connected, directly or indirectly, to the drive unit 56. The drive unit 56 drives the container carrier and, as a consequence, the treatment agent container 22 and the associated treatment tool 72 about its own axis of rotation of the treatment tool 72 rotating, in particular oscillating to. In this case, the treatment agent container 22 rotatably held in the Behälterträgem and drive the treatment tool 72. Alternatively, the treatment tool 72 may be driven directly by the container carrier.

It is particularly advantageous that a treatment tool 72 can be coupled or connected only to one or more particular treatment agent containers 22 that provide a particular treatment agent. This prevents improper use of a treatment agent with a treatment tool 72 that is not designed for this purpose. In order to achieve a clear association between treatment agent or treatment agent container 22 and treatment tools 72 usable therewith, it is advantageous to include treatment agent container 22 and treatment tools 72 with coupling structures 80 Mistake. In this case, the coupling structures 80 are designed to be complementary and prevent coupling or connection of a treatment tool 72 with a treatment agent container 22 that is incompatible with it. Such coupling structures 80 are preferred in the region of the outlet opening 92 of the treatment agent container 22 and in the region of the part of the container to be connected to the outlet opening 92 Treatment agent channel 78 of the treatment tools 72. Such coupling structures can be designed, for example, as follows: A first coupling structure has a circular groove with a specific inner diameter d1 and a certain outer diameter d2. The complementary second coupling structure has a spring with an inner diameter d1 and an outer diameter d2, so that the spring can engage in the groove. A third coupling structure has a spring with an inner diameter d1 and an outer diameter d3, wherein the outer diameter d3 is greater than the outer diameter d2. Consequently, the spring of the third coupling structure can not engage in the groove of the first coupling structure. Such or similar basic structure allows a large number of different and incompatible coupling structures 80 to define an association between compatible treatment tools 72 and treatment agent containers 22. As coupling structures between the individual components (in particular treatment agent container and / or sleeve member and / or pipe section 66 and / or treatment tool), for example, individually dimensioned bayonet locks and / or Luer-lock connections could be used.

FIG. 15 shows an exemplary treatment magazine 70 having a plurality of treatment agent containers 22 and treatment tools 72 used, wherein the treatment magazine 70 can be coupled to a handle portion 55 of a shoe treatment device 50. According to a preferred embodiment, such a loaded treatment magazine 70 (treatment assortment) can be plugged onto the grip section 55 in the direction of the axis of rotation of the drum 74 or inserted into the magazine housing connected to the grip section 55. As a result, advantageously, the same grip portion 55 can be alternately coupled to a plurality of treatment assortments, wherein the

Treatment assortments have one or more different treatment agents and / or treatment tools 72. Alternatively and / or additionally, individual treatment tools 72 and / or individual treatment agent containers 22 can be exchanged, even while the treatment magazine is coupled to the handle section 55. Here are individual Treatment assortments or individual sets comprising a plurality of treatment tools 72 and / or treatment agent container 22 are provided for the treatment of a particular type of shoe or for different types of treatment. Changing the entire range of treatments allows a quick changeover of the shoe treatment device 50 to treat another type of shoe.

Especially with the shoe treatment devices described here, it is particularly efficient possible to completely clean and care for a shoe in a closed container shell 3, as far as the shoe treatment device both the necessary or desired treatment tools (brushes, sponges, rags, atomizers, etc.) and the corresponding cleaning and care products (in particular by a through 5) provides.
