Application filed April 5, 1912, SeriatNo. 688,813. Renewed February 2, 1914. Serial Ive-816,101.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS J. Hammer, a citizen of the United States, residing at Charlotte, in the county ofMecklenburg and State of North Carol ii1a,.have invented a new and useful Carpet-Cleaning Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvements in a carpet cleaning apparatus, the primary object of the invention being the. provision of an apparatus, the main compartment of which is liquid tight so as to be used to contain liquid for washing the carpet or to be used as a carpet beating and brushing compartment when cleaning the carpet, a plurality of other compartments being disposed in spaced relation thereto and connect-ed with the main compartment by means of tracks, whereby the carpet containing main roll maybe moved from the first compartment to and above the other compartments to carry out the various steps in the cleaning and dyeing of the carpet.
Vith the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the inventioniresides in the combination and arrangement of parts and 1n the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the sprit of the invention.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View throu 'h the main compartment and vats, the elements beingin the position they assume when cleaning a carpet, while dotted lines illustrate the position of the upper roll when rinsing the carpet. Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, dotted hnes illustrating the position of the main roll when above one of the rinsing vats. Fig. 3 1s a section taken on line 33 of F:ig. 1. Fig. 1. is a side elevatlon of the main vat showing.
the gearing for connecting the heaters and brushes for cooperation. 5 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of one of the beater rolls. Fig. 6 is a cross section through a beater roll. Figs. 7 and are detail Views of the upper carpet carrying roll. Figs. 9 and 10 are detail views of one of the rotary brushes.
Referring tothe drawings, the numeral 1 designates the main compartment, which is provided with the dome 9. which has the oppositely opening covers 2', to permit access to the interior of the compartment 1.
(3 and constitutes the main carpet receiving roll of the apparatus.
A shaft 8 is journaled transversely of the i compartment 1 near the bottom thereof and carries the lower roll 5), which with the upper roll 7 provides a means for the connection of the respective ends of the carpet C so that the same during the cleaningoperation may assume the position as shown in Fig. 1. i
In order to dry clean the arpet, a beat ing and brushing mechanism is disposed within the compartment 1 intermediate of the respective rolls7 and 9, and consists of the two parallel transversely disposed shafts 10 and 10, which carry the cylindrical rollers 11 and 11., respectively, each one of which is provided with a plurality of spiral wires 12, which pro]ect around the circumference.
of the rolls 11, and 11 and provide a'plu rality of heaters to en 'age the carpet C upon opposite sides thereof, as shown in Fig. 1, when passed between the heaters.
Disposed below therespcctiveshafts 10 and 10 and in vertical alinement therewith are the shafts Band 13, which carry the respective rotary brushes 1 1 and let, said brushes bcingso disposed as to brush the respective sides of the carpet C during the passage thereof from the roll 7 to the roll 9 and vice versa.
In order to actuate the roller 7 to cause the winding of the carpet C thereon, a crank 17 is removably connected to the end of its shaft 6 while removably keyed upon said shaft is a sprocket wheel. 18 which through the medium of a crossed sprocket chain 19 and the sprocket 20 keyed upon the shaft 8, transmits a simultaneous motion tothe lower roll 9. Thus it will be seen that the rotation of the crank 17in one direction will cause the carpet C to be removed from the roller 7 onto the roller 9, while a rotation in the opposite direction will remove the carpet from the roller 9 upon the roller 7. By this means the carpet will be moved in a downward or upward direction within the com partment 1.
In order that the respective heaters and fabric.
brushes may be actuated simultaneously durlngthe travel of the carpet therebetween,
the gears 20 are fixed uponthe ends of the the dust and dirt have been removed from the carpet Within the compartment l, it is desirable to steam the carpet and when this is desired, steam is admitted through the conduit 24: into the lower part of the compartment, 1, the carpet C being wound upon the roller 9, or during the steaming process, the carpet may be moved to be first placed upon the roll 9 and then the roll 7 alternately until the steam has permeated the After such steaming, operation the carpet is rewound vupon the roller? and if so desired without disturbing the roller 7 the end of the carpet upon the roller 9 may be removed therefrom and carried out through the outlet controlled by the cover 2.
over the respectivevats 23 and be spread out for drying.
What is claimed is:'
1. In'an apparatus of the character de- Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the "Commissioner of Washington, D. 0."
scribed, a reservoir having a dome, two $11 perposed carpet carrying rollers journaled 1n the reservoir, a beating mechanism and a brushing mechanism interposed between the rollers within the reservoin'a hinged cover for one side of the dome, and means for removably mounting the upper carrying roller for movement into and out of: the dome through the side controlled bythe cover.
3. In an apparatus of the character de-.
brushing mechanism interposed between the rollers within the reservoir, a hinged cover forrone side of the dome, means for removably mounting the upper carrying roller for movement into and out of the cover controlled side of the dome, means for support mg the removable roller exterior of the reservoir, and detachable means for operablyconnecting the upper and lower rollers together for simultaneously operating said to the other.
