A UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE s. enovns, or ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
POWEBFDRIVEN SHOE-SHINING DEVICE.
To all whom it may concern:
. Be it known that I, GEORGE S. Groves, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mt. Ida, Alexandria, in the county of Alexandria and State of Virginia, have invented Certain new and useful Improvements in Power-Driven Shoe-Shining Devices; and I do hereby de clare the following to be'a' full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to shoe-polishing and shining devices. I It is one of the objects ofthe present invention to provide a light, and hand applied, power operated and therefore port able instrument or device for the polishing or shining of boots and shoes. It is another object of the invention to provide a device of this type, in which the parts are of relatively a simple construction substantial in design, and to provide for the compactness of the arrangement of the elements so as to make aneat and attractive and power driven shoe-polishing or shining instrument. An-
ther object of the invention'is to provide a structure of this type in which a driven motor, preferably of the electric type, is so disposed as to be concealed and therefore protected, and also to provide concealed, protected driving connections between the motor and the driven elements, which operate the polishing or shining medium. An other object of the invention is to provide for the convenient and safe holding of a considerable quantity of a desirable polishing substance or agent. .With these and other objects in ,view, the
- invention consists of the construction, com- 'bination, and in details, and arrangement of parts as more particularly hereinafter described relative to the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in section of the improved device, and Fig. 2 is an end elevational view of the same.
In its illustrated embodiment, the device is shown as including a handle2 of suitable proportions and material transversely from the ends of which there extend outwardly convergent end members 3 -3, the arms of which are bent downwardly into parallel relation as at 4-4:, Fig. 2, the arms on each side extending obliquely as shown in Fig. 1, and intersecting with respective side ele- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 24, 1920.
Application filed October 16, 1918. Serial No. 258,347.
' posed substantially parallel tothe handle 2,
and spaced sufliciently below the same to enable the operator to. conveniently grasp the handle and apply the polishing member 6 insuch manner that it is disposed parallel to the direction of the travelof the belt.
The polishing member or belt is mounted upon transverse rollers or cylinders 7-7, one. at each end of the frame, these being mounted upon respective transverse shafts 8-8, one of which is shown as provided With a bevel pinion 9, engaging a complementary pinion 10, fixed on the shaft 11, journaled in bearings 12, which preferably are located within one of the side elements 5 of the hollow frame so that the danger of injury to the operator or the entanglement of the clothes or apparel by the gears is eliminated. The opposite end of the shaft frame that carries the pinion 10' is also provided with a pinion 13, engaging another pinion 14, which is mounted on a shaft 15 of a motor 16, disposed between the side members 55, of the frame,and which is suitably connected to and su ported on the latter, as, for instance, by eing attached to a transverse tie 17, connecting the side elements 55 of the frame. The'obv'iously able material will rapidly and effectually polish the shoe or boot. I notonly. utilize the space between the parallel stretches of the belt 6, which extend between the tops and bottoms of the belt rollers 7-7, in which to place the driviug motor, .but I also arrange in this space a receptacle 20 in the form of a can, extend ing from one side member 5, to the other ing from one of its sides and thence upwardly, andbeing provided with a closure 25 at its top end.
While not essential, I prefer to provide side plates 26, which extend along and within the sidesof the frame members *.l5 and 5-5, so as to bear toward the sides of the belt rollers 7-7, and projects sufliciently beyond the circumferences of the same so as to guide the traveling'belt; The belt is also supported at that portion which is applicable to the shoe or boot being polished by a back-plate 28, extending in the plane tangent to the front and rear rollers, and which plate is secured to the lower portion of the side plates 26.
What I claim is: 1. A shoe polishing device comprising a frame having horizontal side members with upturned converging arches at the ends con-' nected by a medial handle, transverse rollers mounted between the sides of the frame and beyond the ends of the handle, an endless polishing belt mounted on the rollers and a motor mounted on the frame and connections between the motor and one of the rollers for driving the belt and rollers.-
2. A portable, hand-applied shoe polishing instrument, comprising a frame having tubular side elements, a handle connecting converging ends of the frame, transverse shafts at each end of the frame, rollers on said shafts, a motor mounted on the frame, driving connections between said motor and one of the shafts, concealed in the frame, and an endless polishing belt mounted on the rollers.
3. A portable, hand-applied shoe polish in instrument, comprising a frame having tu ular side elements, a handle connecting convergent ends of the frame, transx'crse shafts at each end of the frame. rollers on said shafts, a motor mounted on the frame, driving connections between said motor and one of the shafts, concealed in the frame, and an endless polishing belt mounted on the rollers, and side plates on the frame eX- tending from roller to roller and guiding the edges of the belt.
l. A portable, hand-applied shoe polishing instrument, comprising a frame having tubular side elements, a handle connecting convergent ends of the frame, transverse shafts at each end of the frame, rollers on said shafts, a motor mounted on the frame, driving connections between said motor and one of the shafts, concealed in the frame, and an endless polishing belt mounted on the rollers, and side plates on the frame e.
tendin'g from roller to roller and guiding the edges of the belt, and a backing plate, on the bottom of the frame, against which the acting portion of the belt is supported.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
GEORGE S. GROVES.
