Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to an automatic shoe polishing device whose purpose is to polish the surface of shoes while they are being worn.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, there are various types of shoes that remove dirt adhering to the surface of the shoes by providing rotating brushes on both sides and the top and bottom of the shoe platform and rubbing the shoes on both sides and the top and bottom of the shoes placed on the shoe platform. The following model has been proposed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Conventional shoe polishing devices such as those described above only rub the left, right, top and bottom of the shoe with a rotating brush, so they may cause problems such as the step of the sole in front of the heel or the joint between the upper and sole of the shoe. There is a problem in that it is not possible to completely remove mud and the like adhering to the grooves.

[Means to solve problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention has a shoe polishing device in which a pair of left and right rotating brushes are arranged on the shoe platform, and a pair of left and right rotating brushes are also arranged above and below the shoe platform. At the bottom, there are multiple compressed air injection nozzles that spray compressed air upward, and at the tip of the flexible air pipe that leads to the compressed air source, there is a compressed air injection gun that blows away mud from any part of the shoe. This is the one with the attached.

[Effect]

This idea has the above-mentioned structure, and when the shoes are placed on the shoe stand, each rotating brush is rotated, and the shoes are moved back and forth, the left and right, up and down rotating brushes move both sides of the shoe. and the top and bottom are polished.

However, it is not possible to remove mud and other dirt stuck to the dented areas of shoes with just a brush, but with this invention, high-pressure compressed air is jetted upward from multiple compressed air injection nozzles below the rotating brush. As a result, the mud and dirt that has adhered to the recessed step at the front of the heel of the shoe sole is blown away.

Additionally, dirt adhering to the groove-like part of the joint between the upper part of the shoe and the sole of the shoe is removed by blowing it off with high-pressure compressed air from a compressed air gun.

[Embodiment] In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a machine box supported by a plurality of legs 2, and an opening 5 is formed from the upper center of the rear wall 3 to the front of the top wall 4. The front part of the top wall 4 has an upward slope.

The rear end of a shoe mount 8 is swingably attached to a bearing on a pedestal 7 provided inside the rear lower end of the opening 5 by means of a shaft 9. As shown in FIG. 2, this shoe platform 8 is made up of a pair of left and right thin bars 10 that are integrally connected by connecting members 11, 12, and 13 at the front end, middle section, and rear end.
The portion between these members 11, 12, 13 is a space.

The lower front end of the shoe platform 8 is supported by a spring 15 to apply an upward rotational force, and a starting limit switch 16 in contact with the front end of the shoe platform 8 is fixed in the machine box 1 above it.

A pair of left and right rotating brushes 18 are provided on both sides of the upper middle part of the shoe platform 8. Both brushes 18 have vertical rotating shafts, and these rotating shafts are connected to motors and transmissions (not shown). They are rotated in opposite directions by a driving means consisting of a mechanism or the like.

In front of the brush 18, a pair of upper and lower rotating brushes 19 and 20 having horizontal shafts are mounted on a footrest 8.
and are rotated by appropriate driving means (not shown).

21 is at the bottom of the left and right rotating brushes 18,
This is a plurality of compressed air injection nozzles arranged horizontally and fixed upward.

Reference numeral 22 designates a limit valve provided in the middle of a pipe leading to a compressed air source (not shown) for each of the nozzles 21, and is operated by the connecting member 12 of the shoe platform 8.

25 is a flexible air pipe communicating with a compressed air source (not shown), and a compressed air injection gun 26 is attached to the tip thereof. This gun 26 is rod-shaped and has a handle 27 and a valve operation button 28 at its base.
The tip is a nozzle 29.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a lever detachably fixed on the front part of the machine box 1, and a handle 31 is fixed to the upper end of the lever.

Next, to explain the operation of the above embodiment, under the condition that the power switch (not shown) is turned on and the compressed air source is operating, the shoes still on the feet are placed on the shoe platform 8. When this table 8 is slightly pressed down, the connecting member 11 at the tip thereof is slightly lowered, so the limit switch 16 is closed, and the rotating brushes 18, 19, 20 begin to rotate by the driving means.

Further, since the limit valve 22 is also pressed down by the connecting member 12 and becomes open, compressed air is injected upward from each nozzle 21.

As the shoe is moved forward while slightly pushing down the footrest 8, both sides of the shoe are rubbed by the left and right brushes 18, and the top and bottom of the shoe are rubbed by the brushes 19, 2.
0, and compressed air jetted from the nozzle 21 removes mud from the soles that cannot be removed by the brush 20.

After polishing the shoes with each of the brushes 18, 19, and 20, when the shoes are removed from the shoe rest 8, the shoe rest 8 is released, the limit switch 16 and the limit valve 22 are returned, and each brush 1 is removed.
8, 19, and 20 are stopped, and the injection of compressed air from the nozzle 21 is stopped.

After that, the mud remaining on the shoes is removed using the compressed air injection gun 26. At this time, if you hold the handle 27 of the gun 26 and press the button 28 with your finger, compressed air will be released from the nozzle 29 at the tip. Since it is sprayed, mud and the like can be removed from areas that cannot be removed by the brushes 18, 19, and 20.

〔effect〕

The shoe polishing device of this invention not only polishes the surface of shoes with the left and right and top and bottom rotating brushes as described above, but also has a unique effect in that it can remove dirt from areas that cannot be removed with brushes by jetting compressed air. In other words, below the pair of left and right rotating brushes,
By providing a plurality of compressed air injection nozzles that spray compressed air upward, it is possible to remove most of the mud from the part of the shoe sole in front of the heel that cannot be completely removed with a rotating brush.

In addition, since a compressed air injection gun is provided at the tip of the flexible air pipe, this can be held in the hand to remove mud from any part of the shoe without getting the hands dirty.
