DEVICE FOR TREATING A SURFACE, IN PARTICULAR A LEATHER SURFACE, SUCH AS THAT OF LEATHER SHOES

摘要

A device for treating a surface, in particular a textile surface or a leathe r surface, such as, for instance, the upper surface of leather shoes, with a liquid substance, comprises a holder with a reservoir for this substance and with a sponge-like body via which the substance absorbed from the reservoir can be spread on the surface. Between the reservoir and the sponge-like body there is at least one receiving chamber having an inflow opening communicati ng with the reservoir. This inflow opening is closed in the condition of rest a nd can be opened at a movement of the sponge-like body with respect to a plane with which this body is contacted. From the receiving chamber the substance is absorbed by the sponge-like body with delay.
