RECORD-CLEANER.
a lication filed April a1, 1919, Serial during'the playing thereof.
An important object is the provision of a cleaner of this character which may be slid into a casing or receptacle carried by the cabinet ofa talking machine when the use of a brush is not desired.
Another object is the provision of a device of this character in whichthe rotary brush is mounted within a casing open at one side and provided with a rubber flap serving as a dust collector.
A further object is the provision. of a cleaner of this character which is adapted for association with the drive spindle projecting through the turn table and which may be associated with the talking machine without making any appreciable alterations therein. An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which will be very sim le and inexpensive in manufacture, hig 1y eflicient in use, durable in 66115108, and a general improvement in the art. With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more full described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in
which Figure 1 is a plan view of a talking ma chine having my device associated therewith,
Fig. 2 is a view on-a larger scale showing a longitudinal sectional view through a portion of thetalking machine and showing my device in position for cleanin a record,
Fig. 3 is a view similar to my device moved out of engagement with the record and disposed within its housing,
Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view taken through the brush and its casing, and I Fig. 5 is a detail side elevation showing. the upper end of the vertical housing,
Specification of Letters Patent.
entucky, have invented ig. 2 showing I spindle B which extends t Patented June 1992 8 No. 291,517. Renewed April 30, 1920.. Serial No. 377,973.
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary plan viewshowing the rear end of and Fig. 7 is a fragmentary elevation of the upper end of the tubular housing taken at 11%1t angles to Fig. 5.
eferring more particularly to the drawings, the letterA designates the cabinet or body portion of a talking machine, within which is mounted the usual riven vertical shaft B which carries the turn table C and which rojects above the top of the turn table. he record is designated by the nuthe brush holding casing,
'meral D. These parts are all portions of any of the various well known makes of talking machines known under various trade names and need no further description as they themselves form no part of the present invention.
In carrying out my invention ll provide adjacent one side of the cabinet A, a Vernoally disposed tubular housing 10 which is provided in its sides with vertically extending' slots 11 which are curved and laterally directed at their upper ends, as shown at 12.
.The tubular housing 10 is secured upon the cabinet in any desired manner, as for instance-by means of threaded collars 13. This housing between the slots 11 with a recess 13 The numeral 14 designates a casing which is cylindricaLin cross section except for an opening 15 atone side. This casing 14 has curved end walls 16 and 17 and is provided adjacent thelend wall 16 witlo l a lug 18 carr in lateral ro'ectin stu s 19 engaging viiithin the slo t s il iind tli eir lateral branches '12 of the tubular housing 10. At one side, adjacent the opening 15, the casing 14 has secured thereon a strip 20 of rubber or other is also provided at its upper edge suitable flexible material which is adapted to serve as a dust collector; and which bears lightly upon the top of the record D when p the device is in use.
Secured within the casing14 at a" point spaced from the end 17 is aJ- bracket 21 including spaced arms 22 and journaled through these arms and. through the closed end 16 1 the casing 14 is a brush 23 having a shaft 24. At its end adjacent the end 17 of the casing 14, the, shaft 24 carries a bevel gear 25 which meshes with a bevel gear 26 journaled in an extension of the bracket 021 and provided with an angularsocket'27 adapted to be engaged u'pon the correspondingly-formed projecting upper end of the rough the turn associated parts is posed at the lower ends of the slots 11 in the housing 10. When it is desired to clean a 'record during the playing thereof, it is merely necessary that the operator grasp the handle 28 and pull upwardly upon the casing 14 to pull the casing 14 out of the housing 10, the studs 19 riding upwardly through the slots 11 and then being disposed in the lateral :branches '12 at the upper ends thereof. After the casing 14 is thus pulled out of the housing 10, the casing is swung into a horizontal position, the lug 18 being playing thereof.
disposed within the Fig. 2, and the angular socket 27 on the gear 26 is engaged upon the angular upper end of the drive spindle B. When a record is then played, and is of course rotated with the turn table C, the the record D will then be rotated by virtue of the engagement of the gears 25 and 26, the direction of rotation of the brush 23 being such that the brush will exert a brushing action against the direction of movement of the record D. As the brush 23 is thus rotated, it will be obvious that it will very effectually. clean the record during the In order that the brush might not injure the record in any way, it is preferable that it, the brush, be formed of camels hair or other similar very soft material.
After the brush has been in operation for a considerable length of time and it isdesired to remove the accumulation of dust upon the rubber or other strip 20, it is merely necessary that the operator grasp the handle 28 and lift the casing 14 in a vertical position and slide it into tubular housing 10, whereuponthe accumulation of dust and the like in the casing 14 will slide along the same and fall out of the end 16 thereof and into the lower end of the tubular housing 10. When an appreciable accumulation of dust is formed in the lower end of the housing 10, in order to remove the same, it is that the operator disconnect the collars 10 and remove the housmg bodily from the cabinet A, after which the accumulation may be quickly and easily removed.
From the foregoing description and a study of the drawing, it will be apparent that I have thus provided a very simple device whereby a record may be thoroughly recess 13*, as shown in brush 23 bearing upon 'record cleaning device cleaned during the playing thereof so that any clogging of the grooves therein will be absolutely prevented, it being noted that the device may be quickly and easily elevated from operative to inoperative position and vice versa, depending. upon the wishes of the operator.
While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is of course to be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form, construction, and arrangement of parts as will not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 2- 1. In combination with a talking machine including a supporting cabinet, a turn-table and a spindle for rotating the turn-table, a record cleaning device comprising a casing secured within the cabinet, a brush slidably connected with and disposed normally within said casing and movable to extend therefrom in engagement with a record disposed upon the turn-table, and means associated with said spindle for rotating said brush.
2. In combination with a talking machine including a cabinet, a turn-table, and aspin: dle for rotating the turn-table, a record cleaning device comprising a vertical casing disposed within the cabinet and having one end extending thereabove, a brush slidably connected with the casing and mounted upon a spindle and movable within said casing whereby to be disposed selectively therement of the turn-table.
3. In combination with a talking machine including a supporting cabinet, a turn-table and a spindle for rotating the turn-table; a
comprising a vertically disposed casing cabinet and having its upper end extending above the turn-table and open, a brush disposablewithin said casing and having a spindle slidably connected therewith, said brush being movable out of said casing whereby to be disposed in horizontal position above and in engagement with a record placed upon the turn-table, a shield member extending from the brush and connected with the spindle thereof, and interengaging means carried by the turn-table spindle and the brush spindle whereby to effect rotary movement of the latter during rotary movement of the turn-table, said means comprising intermeshing gears.
In testimony whereof I affix my. signature.
