Abstract
A swiveling handle is attached to a square, rectangular, or oval curved base plate, with curvature selected to match the curvature of a vehicle tire sidewall. A pad containing the liquid or gel to be applied to a tire is attached to the underside of the curved base plate in order to contact the tire sidewall, so that one quick circular motion of the operator's hand applies the liquid or gel uniformly to the entire sidewall of the tire. A matching holder with a curved sponge or pad for resaturating the pad on the curved base plate may be included.
Claims20
A device for applying liquids or gels to various vehicle tire sidewalls, said device comprising:
- (a) a curved base plate fitting the contour of a tire sidewall to be treated and having a convex top surface and a concave bottom surface, wherein the curvature is selected to substantially conform to the curvature of said tire sidewall being treated,
- (b) a handle connected to the convex top surface of said curved base plate and shaped for gripping by the human hand, and
- (c) an absorbent pad adapted to hold the liquid or gel to be applied, wherein said pad is attached to the concave bottom surface of said curved base plate,
- whereby said pad of said device, because of said base plate fitting the contour of the tire sidewall, is adapted to stay in contact with said tire sidewall when said device slides along said tire sidewall when moved by the human hand, thus applying said liquid or gel to the entire tire sidewall in one continuous motion of the human hand around the tire.
