Definitions

• the invention relates to a glove for waxing and polishing leather shoes.
• the classic method, the oldest - and, to this day, certainly still the most common - for polishing and polishing shoes is to apply a liquid care product (waxing) liquid or pasty to the leather. spread over all or part of the shoe surface by means of a cloth, then polishing the shoe by means of another fabric, or a clean part of the preceding fabric.
• US Patent No. 3,806,260 describes a glove for polishing and polishing shoes, comprising two sheets superimposed, namely a first sheet coated with wax, and a second sheet glued to the first and made of a polishing material. A peelable cover covers the first sheet to preserve the polish before use.
• the method of polishing and shining shoes is similar to that proposed by the aforementioned US Patent No. 1,502,798.
• the device of Patent No. 3,806,260 has the advantage of being disposable, which eliminates the risk of dirt between two successive polishes.
• the very structure of the glove does not eliminate all the risks of soiling during the use of the glove, and in particular during polishing since the coated sheet of waxing is exposed.
• the invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, by providing a glove for polishing and polishing practical and effective shoes while minimizing the risk of soiling.

• the glove has a small footprint that allows its use in any place and at any time.
• the tightness of the materials used (which can be multilayer) and welds guarantees the impermeability of the wax part, and avoids liquid leakage and evaporation of the wax.
• the glove thus has a long shelf life, and can safely during this period, prior to use, be stored in the pocket or in the bag of the user (or the user), without risk of stain, and without smells.
• the impermeability of the waxing part also makes it possible to impregnate the shoe polishing pad in an amount sufficient to allow the polishing of several shoes, and especially a pair of shoes.
