Device and methods for applying compositions to surfaces

Abstract

A device (40) and method for applying a material to a surface (18). The device (40) has a sensor (46) and one or more applicator nozzles (20). The device (40) further includes a reservoir (52) for containing a material to be deposited, and a CPU. The method includes providing information from the sensor (46) about the surface (18) to the CPU, which uses the information to identify where the material is to be deposited and / or how much to deposit.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices and methods for applying materials and / or compositions to surfaces. The device and method can be used to accurately apply the required amount of material to the required location. Background technique [0002] There are many reasons for applying materials to surfaces, including cleaning, protecting, and / or modifying surfaces such as floors, walls, counters, cabinets, appliances, fabrics, leather, and other surfaces common in homes and workplaces. However, current application techniques are often not very precise, so additional materials are used, or materials are applied to areas outside of the expected area. This is especially true when applied at home or by non-professionals. Attempts have been made to develop or improve devices for applying materials to surfaces, but due to the size, complexity, and / or cost of these devices, they are often not widely accepted, especially for consumer rather than commercial use ...
