JAMES BRA'IHERTON. 0F DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
DEVICE FOR CLEANING PHONOGRAPH-RECORDS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 2, 1918.
Application filed June 18, 1917. Serial No. 175,461.
To all whom it may concern Be it-known that I, JAMES Bnnrnnu'ron, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of lVayne and btate of Michigan, have'invented a new and useful Device for Cleaning Phonograph-Records, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a device to be used in cleaning record disks for phonographs, one of the objects of the invention being to provide a simple efficient and compact device of this character which can be easily placed in and removed from position and which will simultaneously clean both sides of a disk, thus making the device especially adapted to use in connection with doublc faced disks.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of the parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown/.
In said drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device, the same being shown in position on a.
' record disk which is partly broken away.
Fig. 2 is a face view of the structure shown in Fig. 1.
Fig 3 is a section on line 3-3 Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a section on line .4 Fig. 1.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 and 2 designate opposed strips and the inner faces of these strips are rounded at one end so as to diverge outwardly, there being a centering pin 3 extended from one of these rounded faces and adapted to project through an opening 4 in the opposed rounded face.
The other end portion of the strips 1 and 2 are shaped to constitute handles which can be readily grasped.
Secured to the inner face of each of the members 1 and 2 is a leaf spring 5 and these leaf springs are fastened together at one end as indicated at 6. Thus it will be seen that by providing this form of connection between the strips 1 and 2, they can not only swing relative to each other but they can move bodily toward or from each other.
Each of the members 1 and 2 is incased for a portion of its length, with a cleaning; element 7 which can be of a heavy plush or of any other suitable material. Each of these sleeves of cleaning material is preferably held in place by a metal strip 8 extending along the outer surface thereof and attached to the strip 1 or 2 by screws 9 or the like as shown particularly in Fig. 3.
In using the device the handle portions 8 are swung toward each other, thus causing the pin 3 to withdraw from the opening 4. A disk D can then be inserted between the strips 1 and 2 until the central opening (2 therein arrives opposite the opening 4. The handles can then be released so as to allow the pin 3 to pass through the opening 1! and enter the opening 4. By reason of the peculiar spring connection between the parts 1 and 2, the sleeves 7 will adjust themselves so as to fit snugly upon opposed faces of the disk D throughout the length of the sleeves. With the sleeves thus pressed yieldingly against the disk, said disk can be rotated between the sleeves, the pin 3 constituting a pivot therefor, and this action will result in both faces of the disk being thoroughly cleaned of dust and other accumulatigp of matter thereon.
What is claimed is 1. A device for cleaning disk records, in-
cluding opposed cleaning members, a yield able connection between said-members, the
said members being movable angularly'a'nd bodily relative to each other, and means at the free end of one of the members for entering the opcning'in the disk record to be cleaned.
2. A device for cleaning disk records, comprising op osed cleaning members, a, spring connect on between said members,
the said members being movable engulariy and bodily relative'to each other, handles extending from the members at one en adjacent said connection, and means extending from one of the members adjacent its other end for entering the reeerd.
