Compact waterproofing applicator device and method

Abstract

The embodiments herein provide a roll-on applicator designed to waterproof leather products such as boots, gloves, and more. The applicator discharges a non-liquid wax material through a dispenser and directly applies the non-liquid wax material to a leather product for protection. The applicator avoids penetration of rainwater, mud and other wet debris into the leather products and leaking onto clothing garments or skin of the user. The applicator is very compact and portable thereby enabling a packing of the applicator conveniently into a backpack, hiking pack, in a pocket, and more, due to small size. The applicator saves extensive time and frustration of the user when compared to dealing with bulky and difficult-to-use waterproof applicators.

Problems solved by technology

However, one characteristic of leather, namely, the fact that it is not always waterproof, bothers the users while using such products.

When these items get wet, the moisture is able to penetrate through the skin and cause serious skin conditions.

Walking around in wet shoes or socks throughout the day or for longer durations is both uncomfortable and unsanitary.

Additionally, it is well known that leather shoes without special treatment allow a penetration of outside moisture thereby making the feet eventually wet.

However, most of these recently available waterproofing tools are bulky and difficult to carry / transport.
