Benefits of technology

[0007]It is one object of the invention to remedy the hereabove mentioned drawbacks, by proposing a glove which permits practical and efficient shoe polishing and buffing, whereas minimizing the risk of staining.

Problems solved by technology

This ancient method is efficient but fastidious and dirty.
However, this method reveals unadapted to travel polishing, where the hereabove mentioned material is unavailable and / or there is no time for achieving a polishing according to the ordinary method.
Although this device is satisfactory with respect of the hereabove mentioned problem, it nevertheless has a drawback: as the glove is meant to be used again, it is dirty since the polish impregnated disc may stain the user's clothes when the glove is stored after the first use thereof.
Nevertheless, the very structure of the glove does not prevent all risks of staining during the use of the glove, and in particular during the buffing, since the polish impregnated sheet is exposed.

example 1

FIG. 1-5

[0034]The polishing part 2 comprises the backing film 4, the polishing pad 5 fixed onto its perimeter (or onto all of its surface) onto the backing film 4, and the peel-off seal 6 fixed to the backing film 4 on an area 11 extending on the perimeter around the polishing pad 5.

[0035]The backing film is preferably made of a resilient liquid- and gas-tight material such as a triple complex of two layer of polyethylene (PE) (welding layers) sandwiching a layer of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or EVOH (barrier layer). The polishing pad 5 is preferably made of a non-woven PET, fixed to the backing film 4 on the PE side by means of a thermal welding before it is impregnated with polish.

[0036]The peel-off seal 6 is made of a resilient gas-tight and water proof material (in order to prevent liquid or gaseous polish leaks), e.g. a PET / PE or EVOH / OE complex, and fixed to the backing film 4 on the PE side by means of a liquid- and gas-tight thermal welding on area 11, possibly doubled...

example 2

FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 6

[0044]The 1 glove is mostly identical to the glove of example 1. It however differentiates through the presence, in the polishing part 2; of a finishing film 17 made of a liquid- and gas-tight material interposed between the backing film 4 and the peel-off seal 6. The finishing film 17 has a central cut-out 18, the surface of which is lower than the surface of the polishing pad 5. The finishing film 17 is fixed both on the backing film 4, on a area 19 encompassing the polishing pad 5, and to the polishing pad 5 the perimeter of which it covers. The presence of the finishing film 17, which covers the edges of the polishing pad 5, minimizes the risks of tearing off during the polishing of the shoe(s).

[0045]The finishing film 17 can be made of PE, preferably in a PE / PET complex or EVOH / PE; it is fixed on the one hand to the backing film 4 thanks to a liquid- and gas-tight welding, and on the other hand on the polishing par by a thermal welding made before impregna...

example 3

FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 7

[0048]The glove 1 distinguishes from the glove of example 1, on the one hand, by the presence of a gusset 20 onto the buffing pad 8, in order to increase the volume available for the fingers, and, on the other hand, by the presence on the polishing part 2 of a bag film 21, fixed to the backing film 4 on the side opposite the polishing pad 5 (i.e. on the side of the buffing part 3), such that the polishing part 2 is, as well as the polishing part 3, glove-shaped.

[0049]More precisely, the bag film 21, made of PE or, preferably, in a PE / PET complex, is fixed to the baking film 4—preferably by a thermal welding on the PE side—on a U shaped area 22 which extends in a concentric manner inside the area 16 of fixation of the bag film 7 onto the polishing part 2. The back edge 9 is free of any fixation, so that it is defined between the bag film 21 and the backing film a second opening 23 allowing slip of the fingers.

[0050]As depicted on FIG. 7, the bag film 21 preferab...

Abstract

Polish applying and buffing glove (1) comprising at least two parts joined together detachably, namely a polish applying part (2) comprising a backing film (4) to which is affixed a pad (5) impregnated with polish and covered by a peel-off seal (6); and a buffing part (3) shaped like a glove and comprising a bag film (7) to which a buffing pad (8) is affixed.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a National Stage of International Application No. PCT / FR2008 / 001665 filed Dec. 1, 2008, claiming priority based on French Patent Application No. 0708406, filed Nov. 30, 2007, the contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.[0002]The invention concerns a polish applying and buffing glove for leather shoes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The classical method, the oldest one—and, up to day, certainly the most common one—for polishing and buffing shoes consists of applying onto the leather a care product (i.e. polish) in a liquid or pasty form, spreading the product on all or part of the surface of the shoe with a fabric, and buffing the shoe with another fabric, or with a part of the preceding fabric.[0004]This ancient method is efficient but fastidious and dirty. This method is convenient for house care of shoes, since the material required (polish boxes or bottles, clean fabric squar...
