Abstract
A system for applying chemical liquid protectant to tires which has an applicator with a foam pad for mating with the tire and a foam support structure for mating with the foam pad, where the foam pad has a quick connection to a source of pressurized chemical liquid protectant; the system having a nozzle for dispensing chemical liquid protectant into an area central to the foam pad.
Claims5
A system for applying a protectant to a tire comprising:
- a means for delivering chemical liquid protectant under pressure to an applicator;
- and
- an applicator configured to receive chemical liquid protectant under pressure, said applicator comprising:
- a foam member having a face side configured to engage with a surface to be treated with chemical liquid protectant and an opposing support side;
- a foam member support structure configured to couple with and provide support to said support side;
- said foam member support structure further configured to permit chemical liquid protectant to pass therethrough and into an area at least partially surrounded by portions of said foam member;
- a peripheral structure disposed about said foam member;
- wherein said area in said foam member is a void therethrough extending from said support side to said face side and configured to allow chemical liquid protectant to be sprayed therethrough;
- and
- wherein said peripheral structure is a brush with a void therein for retaining said foam member.

A system for applying a liquid chemical protectant to a tire, the system comprising:
- a member configured to allow chemical product to flow therethrough;
- a brush surround supported by said member and configured to assist in the removal of residual water that is left on a tire after being washed;
- said brush surround having a member end and a face end and further having an opening in said face end;
- a foam pad assembly comprising a rigid backing and a foam pad member;
- said foam pad assembly configured to be inserted through said opening in said face end so that said rigid backing contacts said member;
- a nozzle assembly comprising:
- an integrated screen filter;
- a check valve;
- and
- a nozzle configured to spray out liquid;
- said nozzle assembly further comprising threads thereon configured to mate with structure on said member and retain said foam pad assembly in contact with said member;
- and,
- said foam pad assembly being sized and conically shaped to be inserted through said opening so that a terminal portion of said foam pad member is recessed and inside from said face end.
