DEVICE FOR TREATING A LEATHER SURFACE WITH A SUBSTANCE AND SUBSTANCE FOR TREATING SAID SURFACE

摘要

A device for treating a surface, in particular a textile surface or a leather surface, such as, for instance, the upper surface of leather shoes, with a liquid substance, comprises a holder (1) with a reservoir (9) for this substance and with a sponge-like body (6) via which the substance absorbed from the reservoir (9) can be spread on the surface. Between the reservoir (9) and the sponge-like body (6) there is at least one receiving chamber (23') having an inflow opening (19) communicating with the reservoir (9). This inflow opening (19) is closed in the condition of rest and can be opened at a movement of the sponge-like body (6) with respect to a plane with which this body (6) is contacted. From the receiving chamber (23') the substance is absorbed by the sponge-like body (5) with delay. Said holder (1) or at least a part thereof and preferably the reservoir (9)or part thereof is made of a transparent material or is provided with a window. Said substance comprises a first component imparting a shine to the leather as well as a second component possessing properties for spreading said substance over the leather surface.
