SHAMPOOER WITH CONFIGURED COMPRESSIBLE FORM APPLICATING ROLLER Filed Oct. 28, 1960 INVENTOR R/CHA RD L. NEL S 0N ATTORNEY United States Patent F 3,104,413 SHAMPOOER WITH CGNFIGURED COMPRES- SIBLE FGAM APPLICATING ROLLER Richard L. Nelson, Battle Creek, Mich, assignor to Brooklyn Products, Brooklyn, Mich, a corporation of Michigan Filed Get. 28, 1960, Ser. No. 65,766 4 Claims. (Cl. 15529) The invention pertains to a liquid applicator and particularly relates to a liquid applicator incorporating brushing and scraping means wherein the device may be employed to clean rugs, fabrics and similar articles by the combination of a soaping and scrubbing operation.
The invention is directed to a cleaning device which may be held in the operators hand and is particularly adaptable for cleaning small surfaces such as automobile upholstery and localized areas of rugs and carpets. It is well known in the cleaning arts that a combination of soap, or other cleaning compounds, and a brushing action provided good cleaning results and the invention is directed to a simple device employing these principles which may be very easily operated without the operator becoming soiled or wetting his hands.
Liquid detergents of superior cleaning characteristics are now available upon the market and many of these detergents provide the best cleaning action when in the form of foam or suds and it is an object of the invention to provide a small, hand-held cleaning device or shampooer employing liquid detergents wherein foam or suds may be readily produced.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a cleaning device employing a liquid detergent which is capable of cleaning rugs or a fabric without unduly wetting the same.
A further object of the invention is to provide a liquid applicator wherein a cellular compressible roller is employed to create a foam from a liquid detergent and brush means are employed to work the foam into the article being cleaned. The foaming and brushing being simultaneously accomplished upon the invention being moved back and forth across the article being treated.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cleaning device using a liquid detergent wherein positive means are provided for feeding the detergent to a roller which creates a foam and means are utilized to evenly distribute the detergent over the roller.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a liquid applicator which may be employed for purposes other than cleaning, for instance, applying paint in the manner similar to that of conventional paint rollers.
These and other objects of the invention arising from the relationship and details of an embodiment thereof will be apparent from the following description and accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an applicator in accord with the invention,
FIG. 2 is an elevational sectional view of the invention, taken along section IIII of FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the body member, with the roller, shaft and distributor strip therefor removed, as taken along III-III of FIG. 2,
FIG. 4 is an elevational view of the applicator of the invention as inverted wherein the scraper is removing the foam from the article being cleaned and FIG. 5 is a detail view of the valve element employed with the invention.
The general appearance of the device of the invention will be best appreciated from FIGS. 1 and 4 wherein the invention basically consists of a body member having a roller 12 journaled therein and a reservoir generally in- Patented Sept. 24, 1963 dicated at 14 is afixed to the body member and serves the dual purpose of containing the cleaning liquid and also, functions as a handle to be gripped by the operator.
The body member 10 is preferably composed of a molded synthetic material of relatively rigid and tough physical characteristics. The body member is provided with a concave cylindrical recess -16 which extends substantially the entire width thereof and the recess is defined at its ends by the laterally extending end portions 18. It will be apparent from FIGS. 1 and 2 that the body member encompasses less than of the roller 12 and a scraping or blade portion 20 is formed on the body member extending radially from the axis of the cylindrical recess 16. The scraper blade 26 is preferably integrally formed upon the body member and is enforced at the ends by the web portions 22. A plurality of brush bristles 24 are molded into the :body member, portion 26 and extend therefrom as to define a brushing edge extending the width of the 'body member. The brush bristles 24 are shown as formed in a plurality of groups, FIG. 3, however, the bristles may be arranged in other patterns into the body member.
A plurality of substantially rectangular recesses 28 and '30 are defined in the cylindrical recess 16 of the body member and substantially extend the entire width thereof, FIG. 3. The recess 30 is of lesser width than the recess 28 and is formed concentric to the larger recess whereby the longitudinal sides of the recesses will be parallel. An elongated strip of-plastic 32 is fitted within the larger recess '28 and is so dimensioned as to be somewhat loosely associated therewith along its longitudinal edges or portions of the-edges as to permit fluid to flow around ,portions of the strip 32 throughout its length. Upon the strip 32 being within the recess 28, FIG. 2, it willl be appreciated that the recess 30 defines a passageway extending the width of the entire body member and fluid within the passage may leak or pass around the strip 32 throughout its length as to be distributed throughout the width of the body recess 16.
The sudsing, foaming and application of the cleaning liquid upon the article to be cleaned is accomplished through the roller 12 which is rotatably and concentrical- 1y located within the recess 16. A roller 12 may be mounted upon a shaft 34- which is rotatably journ-aled within holes defined in the body end portions 18. The shaft 34 may be constructed of a pair of semicylindrical portions of the same material as the body member, if desired. The roller member 12 is preferably formed of a compressible cellular tough material, such as foamed polyurethane and is of a generally cylindrical configuration having a width substantially-equal to that of the body member recess 16. The outer surface of the roller 12 is formed with a plurality of longitudinally extending concave recesses 36 which intersect each other as to define a plurality of ridges or ribs as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. It will be appreciated that the ridges are of relatively sharp defined configuration and upon rolling the roller over the surface to be treated, the ridges will compress and the liquid detergent upon the roller will be worked by the squeezing and expanding of the cells of the roller to produce a foam which will deposit upon the article being treated. When the device is being used, it will be held in the position of FIG. 2. such that the liquid detergent Within the recess 30 will flow around the strip 32 and will be wiped from the housing portions adjacent the slot 28 by the roller ridges and thereby deposited upon the roller.
The body member 10 is provided with a central boss element 38 having a threaded bore therein and a flexible walled container or bottle 40, such as is commonly termed a squeeze bottle and are usually constructed of styrene 3 or similar synthetic material having a threaded neck which may be threaded into the bore of the boss 38. The body member is provided with a central opening 42, FIG. 3, which communicates with the recess 30 and the threaded bore of the boss portion 38. A valve element 44, FIG. 5, is located within the threaded bore of the boss and is of acircular configuration having a small central slot 46 extending therethrough. The valve element 44. is formed of rubber or similar material and is maintained in position by the end of the neck of the bottle 40 which compresses and holds the valve by its peripheral portions against the body member 10. The purpose of the valve element 44 is to require a definite collapsing of the reservoir to force the liquid detergent therein into the recess 30. The valve slot 46 will normally close itself and prevent the fluid from flowing from the reservoir unless the pressure in the reservoir is sufficient to force the detergent through the restricted slot opening as When the operator squeezes the. bottle to distribute additional detergent upon the roller.
In operation, the bottle 40 is filled with a detergent and water solution and is threaded into the bore of the boss 33 as shown in the assembled relation of FIG. 2. The operator will then squeeze the bottle 40 a couple of times to force the liquid detergent into the recess 30' which will thereupon drip down upon the roller 12. The roller and brush are then positioned upon the article to be cleaned, as shown in FIG. 2 and moved back and forth thereacross rapidly wherein the rolling action of the roller will cause a suds to occur due to the compression and decompression of the cells within the roller and the action of the ridges and grooves 36, as explained above. While the roller is being rotated back and forth upon the surface to be treated the bristles 24 are maintained in engagement with the surface being treated as to work the suds into the rug or similar article and agitate the soap therein to provide a thorough cleaning action. An occasional squeeze of bottle 40 will provide detergent as needed.
After the desired scrubbing by the bristles and application of detergent is accomplished, the operator rotates the device 180 to the position shown in FIG. 4 and by drawing the scraper blade 20 over that portion previously brushed and sudsed, the scraper will collect and pick up the suds which remain. A cloth may then be used to remove the suds from the scraper blade. In that the above described action may-be very quickly done and the suds are relatively slow to wet the fabric of a rug or carpet, quickly removing the suds from the article cleaned will prevent excessive wetting thereof.
In addition to being used as a cleaning device, it is contemplated that the invention may be used to apply paint upon flat surfaces in a manner of conventional paint rollers. When used in such application, there is no need for the scraper blade and brush bristles, of course, and an embodiment of the invention for this purpose would not have these components formed thereon. The paint would then be placed the liquid reservoir and applied to the roller as needed.
It is appreciated that various modifications to the invention may be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope thereof and it is intended that the invent-ion be defined only by the following claims.
