CARPET SWEEPER SHIELD.
APPLICATION FILED "8.1.1916.
INVENTOR fin x112 flnsnainviweu; spea s. 1 Y
. -eeiwsw ew e sa.selsnn,
nzsa sia To all whom-it m'ayconcemt' Be it known that I, Dona DUNoAN,-a citizen" of the United States, and a res'identof -New York. in the county of New York and State-of New York, have invented :certa'in new and useful improvements iIl GlQPli- Sweeper Shields, of which t-he following is p a specification.
'W ly invention' relates' to that type of tcarpet sweepers which employ rotary brushes,
suitably-housed, operated by rollers rolling over the carpet, and the main object of the invention is to provide a'readily attached shield for a sweeper which will fully protect articles of furniture from injury due to the contact of the sweeper therewith.
These sweepers as at, present marketed are provided with a guard around the edge and with resilient corner bumpers. but no guard is provided for the pivoted handle yoke, nor for the handle, as when forcing the sweeper beneath chairs, beds,- and other articles of furniture of the sanitary type, and injury results to such furniture, especially when the sweeping is being done by more or less careless servants, and it was in order to prevent this that my invention was conceived.
h' v invent n is fully described in the following specification. of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which like characters refer to like parts in each of the views, and in which Figure l is a perspective view of a carpet sweeper provided with my shield, ready for use;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged section taken on the line 22 of'Fig. 1
'Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 is an enlarged section taken on the line 44 of Fig. 1. v
My shield is provided as a separate arti cle of manufacture, and is preferably formed in one piece, as a unit, whereby no parts may be lost or mislaid previous to the installation thereofupon a sweeper, but
I do not limit myself to this unitarv construction as the same protective results would occur if the shield was made of separable members.
Referring to the drawings 5 represents the housing of a conventional carpet sweeper having the usual rollers 6, cylindrical brushes 7, pivotally mounted'yoke 8, and
l1an'dle-9,:a protecting bead 10 being indi cated in Fig. 2 of the type now vended as a pant -of, theisweeper." Y it shield comprises .a-loo dyportion 11 entirelyoovering the top surface of the :hou-s- .1 0. ing'5, :a: band 12 for the edges of said hous-f mg, a pocket 13 forthe yoke-:8, a cylindrical member for the handle, and-connecting members 15 between the band 12 and the re- SPQGh-lVGiBIldS of th'e-pocket 13. lgIn order toassenible theshield =up'on- -a sweeper it is necessary to pass a portion thereof, the body portion "1 1; be'neath the '-yoke"8 and I have therefore formed the band 12 of two members 12 and 12 each encircling one-half of'ythe edges of the sweeper and having their ends joined at 12, as by snap fasteners of the glove type.
The band 12 presents two soft resilient beads 12 and 12 to theleg's of furniture, and the connecting members 15 are also preferably made in the form of soft beads and are extended along the side and top edges of the yoke pocket 13 to prevent injury by the yoke 8, and I also preferably provide longitudinallyarranged beads 14 and 14 on the handle covering member 14 to prevent injury by the handle, this member i 14 being of a length lending protection for the distance that a sweeper is likely to be forced beneath an article of furniture, a bead 14 being also provided at its top.
In installing the shield the band fasteners 12 are disengaged, the handle 9 inserted into the cylindrical member 14 from the bot-- tom thereof and the shield is moved down wardly until the open bottom pocket 13 re-[ ceives the yoke 8, after which thebody m mber 11 is arranged in position beneath the yoke 8. and the band members joined at 12,
the shield then being ready for use.
It will thus be seen that I provide an article of manufacture and sale adapted for use upon a carpet sweeper for the protection of The shield will be composed of relatively 105 soft mat r al, such as fabric. carpeting. leather. imitation leather, or the like and,
7 while I have shown a thoroughly practical embodiment of the invention as to its method of connection with a sweeper, it will be obyvious that changes thercover may be made providing, such, changes come wi hin the scope of the appended claims.
Having fully described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire-t6 s'cu're'by Letters Patent, is
' 1. An article of the class described. com
prising a covering member arranged to cover the body of a carpet sweeper when in use, a band arranged at the lower part of the covering member, and spaced cushioning beads arranged, on each side of said band. 7 V I 2. An article of the class described, comprising a body adapted to cover a carpet :sweeper when in use, a band arranged at Copies oi this patent may be obtained for said handle covering member longitudinally" thereof.
'of said body, a beadextendingfrom said protecting members along the yoke 'of the carpet sweeper, and a tubular member extendingt'rom said'bead provided with beads arranged on the handle of saidcarpet sweeper. V c
4. As an article of manufacture, for use on a carpet sweeper, a shield comprising a body member, a tions, fasteners for the respective ends of said band sections, a yoke pocket having an open bottom, members connecting said band and yoke pocket, and a cylindrical handle receiving member.
