RULISON ARCHER, OF BLUEFIELD, WEST VIRGINIA.

PAINT AND SCALE REMOVER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 3, 1911.

Application filed December 8, 1909. Serial N 0. 532,058.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RULIsoN ARCHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bluefield, in the county of Mercer and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paint and Scale Removers, of which the following is a specification.

This invent-ion relates to certain new and useful improvements in paint and scale removers.

The object of my invention is to provide a means for readily removing paint, scale or other foreign substance from the surface of metals, wood, stone, or the like.

Another object is to provide means 'for removing such foreign substances by the impact of a suitable brush, said impact being rought about by any desirable means.

With the above and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and articularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes in the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings ormin a part of this specification, and in which ike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a pore ective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a ongitudinal sectional view.

Referring to the drawings 1 represents the barrel of a reciprocating hammer mechanism, preferably the kind known as pneumatic hammers, mounted inside of which is the reciprocating piston 2 the end of which projects beyond the end of the barrel. The barrel 1 is provided with screw threaded holes 3.

The brush, which constitutes my invention, consists of a head. 4, in which are mounted in any suitable iinanner bristles 5, preferably of wire, said bristles being flexile, but of suflicient rigidity to perform the service required.

Integral with the head and extending in olpposite direction from the bristles is the s eeve 6, which loosely encircles the barrel 1. In the sleeve are the lon itudinal slots 7 through which are passed e beaded screw bolts 8 which engage with threaded holes 3 and slidably secure the brush member to the reciprocating hammer mechanism. In- 0 eration the ends of the bristles are held agalnst the paint, scale or other substance to be removed while repeated blows are struck in the back of the brush by the piston, the impact of the blows in rapid succession loosening the substance to be removed. The slot 7 allows a slidable motion of the brush member on the barrel of the reciprocating hammer and relieves part of the jar on the pneumatic hammer.

What is claimed is:

1. The combination with a hammer mechanism having a barrel and a piston; of a brush head having bristles in one end thereof, and a rearwardly extending annular flange for slidably and detachabl securing said head to said barrel, said ange surrounding a socket, said head being arranged to receive the impact of the striking portion of the said piston against the bottom of said socket.

2. The combination with a reciprocating hammer member of a brush consisting of a head, bristles mounted in said head, a sleeve extending oppositely to said bristles, surrounding said reciprocating hammer men1- ber and slidably mounted thereon.

3.-The combination with a hammer mechanism having a barrel and hammer member; of a brush consisting of a head, bristles mounted in one end of the head, said head having a posteriorly arranged socket for the reception of said hammer mechanism, said head being disposed to receive the impact of said hammer member against the bottom wall of said socket.

4. The combination with a hammer mechanism having a barrel and a reci rocating hammer slidable therethrough; o a brush consisting of a head, an annular flange on said head forming a socket to receive said barrel, said flange having oppositely arranged slots, said barrel having oppositely arranged threaded sockets adapted to register with said slots, and bolts passed through said slots and into said threaded sockets to retain thehead and barrel in slidable connection, said reciprocating hammer impactin with the bottom wall of said first named socket.

5. The combination with a hammer mech- In testimony whereof I affix my signature, anism including a barrel and a reciprocating in presence of two witnesses. hammer therein, and a brush head, said head RULISON ARCHER having openings for the introduction of 5 means for connection with said barrel, said Witnesses:

hammer adapted to strike the rear face of W. L. THORNTON, said brush head. R. C. BLACKSTOCK.
