[Industrial applications]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is used in the technical field of a floor polisher (polisher) for polishing a floor by rotating a pad (buff) at high speed with a motor while an operator manually pushes the operating handle to run the pad. More specifically, the present invention relates to a floor polisher having a wax coating function devised so as to polish the floor surface with a pad while coating the floor surface with wax or other treatment agent.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 When polishing the floor using a floor polisher, first apply an appropriate amount of wax to the floor using a tool such as a spray or coating roller, and then polish with a floor polisher. However, it is very troublesome and troublesome to apply the wax to the floor surface by hand separately from the operation of the floor polishing machine in this way.

Therefore, conventionally, as shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-28667 or Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-183205 (Japanese Utility Model Application No. Sho 63-88262), a wax solution is applied to a floor polisher. It was equipped with a tank in which the wax was sprayed from the tank and the floor was polished with a pad.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional floor polisher described above, the required amount of wax is sprayed onto the floor surface while adjusting the flow rate based on the operator's cock operation and the pressure of the pump or its own weight. When it was desired to apply a stable amount of a small amount of wax, the adjustment was extremely difficult and there was the problem that the wax could not be applied to the floor surface as desired.

That is, when adjusting the flow rate of wax using a cock, if the cock is over-squeezed, the wax will not come out and the wax cannot be polished, and if the cock is opened too much, the flow rate will increase. A large amount of wax is applied to the floor surface, and the result is that the floor surface becomes sticky or slippery with wax, making adjustments extremely difficult. Wax also adheres, which solidifies over time and deteriorates the function of the pad, which may hinder the polishing of the floor and in some cases damage the floor during rotation. There were many problems.

In addition, in the case of the above tank type, it is necessary to always check the remaining amount of the wax liquid, and it is also necessary to always keep in mind the maintenance of the wax supply process including a supply pipe, a valve, etc. Maintenance and management of was very troublesome.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to make it possible to apply the required amount of wax to the floor surface by an extremely simple method, reduce the maintenance load related to the supply of wax, and use it easily. The purpose is to provide a floor polisher equipped with such a devised wax application function.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Means taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows. In the floor polisher, which presses the operation handle to run the pad and rotates the pad at high speed with a motor to polish the floor surface,

(1) A rotating arm having a wax roller impregnated with wax at the tip is attached to the front portion of the pad cover that covers the upper surface of the pad so as to be vertically rotatable with respect to the floor surface. The moving arm is always placed under the elastic action of a spring that rotates in the direction of pulling it up from the floor, and when the operation handle is rotated, the rotating arm is lowered against the elasticity of the spring. Install an operating lever that can be rotated to bring the wax roller into contact with the floor.

(2) A rotating plate is attached to a bracket provided on the front surface of the pad cover so as to be vertically rotatable, and a spring for constantly pulling the rotating plate upward and rotating it, and an operating handle. Attach a wire that transmits the turning force of the operating lever attached to the rotating plate to the rotating plate.Furthermore, on this rotating plate, the root end of the rotating arm to which the wax roller is attached is axially and vertically arranged. It is slidably and rotatably mounted, and a compression spring that elastically urges the root end in the axial direction is interposed between the root end and the rotating plate. The upper and lower two-stage locking portions are provided to lock the above-mentioned non-use position, which is rotated upward by receiving the elastic force of the compression spring, and the use position, which is rotated downward, respectively.

(3) A wax roller impregnated with wax is rotatably and rotatably attached to the tip of the rotating arm.

(4) Instead of the wax roller impregnated with wax, a treatment roller impregnated with various treatment agents such as detergent, sterilizer or sterilizer can be attached to the tip of the rotating arm. To configure.

[0013]

[Action]

 The above means operate as follows. According to the above-mentioned means (1), by rotating the operation lever, the wax roller impregnated with the wax can be brought into contact with the floor surface so as to hit the wax roller, and the wax can be applied. When the dynamic operation is released, the wax roller is pulled up and rotated by the pulling force of the spring, so that by rotating the operation lever repeatedly at an appropriate interval while operating the floor polisher. The wax can be applied to the floor surface as desired, and the contact force of the wax roller to the floor surface can be increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the turning operation of the operating lever. Since the amount can be adjusted, the application amount can be freely adjusted according to the condition of the floor surface, and there is no need for maintenance related to the supply of wax. That enables it to exhibit excellent polishing effect by using easily.

According to the above-mentioned means (2), if the rotating arm to which the wax roller is attached is engaged with the lower locking portion of the rotating plate, the operation lever is rotated and the spring is pulled up. The wax roller can be repeatedly applied to the floor surface to apply wax, and when this rotating arm is engaged with the upper locking part of the rotating plate, the wax roller can be rotated even if the operating lever is operated. Since it does not touch the floor surface, it is convenient when you only need to polish the floor surface by rotating the pad without applying wax, or when you simply move the floor surface polishing machine. It makes it possible to change the state extremely easily according to the situation.

According to the above-mentioned means (3), the amount of the wax impregnated in the wax roller is reduced due to repeated use and the application is hindered. Therefore, the wax roller should be replaced with a new one. In addition to making it possible, it is possible to prevent the wax from being dried and prevent wasteful consumption of the wax by removing the wax and storing it when it is not needed.

According to the above means (4), by using a treatment roller impregnated with various treatment agents instead of the wax roller, the floor surface is washed with a pad, or the floor surface is sterilized or sterilized. It is possible to perform various kinds of processing. As described above, the technical problems described above can be solved by the above means, and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.
