Tire protectant applicator system

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.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An aerosol spray can 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; and 
 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. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a peripheral structure disposed about said foam member. 
 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  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 spray therethrough. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said means for delivering chemical liquid protectant under pressure to an applicator is an aerosol can. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4  wherein said applicator has a void therein sized, located and configured to receive a human finger therein and to permit manual manipulation of a nozzle coupled to said aerosol can. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said applicator has a void therein sized, located and configured to receive a human finger therein and to permit manual manipulation of a nozzle therein. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 2  wherein said peripheral structure is matter applied to and adhering to said foam member. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said foam member support structure has an integrated structure for mating with said means for delivering chemical liquid protectant under pressure to an applicator. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 4  wherein said foam member support structure has an integrated structure for mating with said means for delivering chemical liquid protectant under pressure to an applicator. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9  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 spray therethrough. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising:
 a peripheral structure disposed about said foam member. 
 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11  wherein said peripheral structure is matter applied to and adhering to said foam member. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said integrated structure for mating with said means for delivering comprises a can nozzle receiving hole. 
     
     
         14 . An aerosol spray can system for applying a protectant to a tire comprising:
 an aerosol can configured 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; and 
 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; 
 wherein said foam member support structure has an integrated structure for mating with said means for delivering chemical liquid protectant under pressure to an applicator; 
 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 spray therethrough. 
   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14  wherein said integrated structure for mating with said means for delivering comprises a can nozzle receiving hole. 
     
     
         16 . An aerosol can system for applying a protectant to a tire comprising:
 an aerosol can configured 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; and 
 said foam member support structure further configured to permit chemical liquid protectant to pass therethrough and into a void extending through said foam member from said support side to said face side and configured to allow chemical liquid protectant to be spray therethrough; 
 wherein said foam member support structure has an can nozzle receiving hole therein for mating with said means for delivering chemical liquid protectant under pressure.
