DUSTING AND DEODORIZING MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 22, 1920.
Application filed November 15, 1919. Serial No. 338,871.
To all wkom it may concern Be it known that I, LOUIS E. MASHEOK, a citizen of the United States, residin at Canton, in the county of Stark and tate of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Dustin and Deodorizin :Machine, of which the foliwing is a speci cation.
This invention relates to improvements in dusting and deodorizing machines and has more especial reference toa rotary device particularly designed for removing the odor from clothing which has been cleaned with gasolene', although the machine itself is adaptable for use as a cleaning machine.
The objects of the invention are to provide a device of the character described, comprising an inclosed casing, a rbtarycylinder within said casing divided into a plurality of compartments arranged to receive clothing; to provide means for passing jets of steam through the cylinder and through the clothing contained therein; to provide means for drawing a blast of warm, air through the cylinder and the clothing contained therein; to provide means within the cylinder for dusting or brushing the clothing as it is tumbled therein; and to provide means wherein the machine may be easily adapted for use as a cleaning machine.
With these objects in view the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportions, size and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
The invention thus set forth in general terms is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a device embodying the invention, the outer door thereof being open and the chute removed for the purpose of illustration.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the machine, parts being broken away for the purpose of illustration.
F1g'. 3 is a transverse sectional view through the device.
gig. 4 is an end elevation of the cylinder, an
Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the chute.
A practical embodiment of the invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification in which slmilar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The device comprises the casing or hous- 1ng 1 which is preferably formed of galvanized iron or other sheet metal and sup ported by means of the legs 2. The cylinder 3 is rotatably mounted within the easlng 1 and is provided with the concentric trunnlons 4, journaled in suitable bearings 5 in the casing, one of said trunnions being extended beyond the bearing a sufiicient distance to have fixed thereto a gear 6 which meshes with the gear 7 mounted upon the counter-shaft 8, said counter-shaft carrying the loose pulley 9 and the tight pulleys 10 provided with any suitable reversing mechanism by means of which the cylinder may be rotated in either direction as desired, a drive belt being arranged to be located over either of the pulleys as desired and driven by any source of power. A stop device 11 of any suitable and well known character may be provided for engaging the gear wheel 6 in order to stop the cylinder at any desired shut off.
The cylinder is preferably formed of wooden strips and made in segments 12 as shown in Fig. 4:, four segments being preferable. These segments are connected together by means of the metal strips 13 and 14. which are bolted or otherwise attached to the ends of the cylinder sections. This construction is preferable for shipping and erecting the device as the cylinder is of course of large proportions and is more easily handled in the knocked down condition.
Each of the cylinder segments comprises the lower outwardly inclined wall 15, the substantially upright Wall 16 and the curved outer wall 17, the walls 16 and 17 being provided upon their inner faces with longitudinally disposed strips 18 of varying heights. A door 19 is hinged at 20 in the curved outer wall 17. The inner face of each curved wall 17 is preferably provided with circumferentially disposed brushes 21 arranged to dust the clothing as it is tumpoint after the power has been each cylinder section'is provided with a pipe is connected to a steam line 25 and arranged to spray jets of steam around the cylinder, the steam passing through the apertures 22 in the cylinder and through the clothing carried in the cylinder.
An air heating chamber 26 is provided 3 upon the top of the casing 1 and communicates therewith by means of an aperture 27, a coil of steam pipes 28 being provided therein for maintaining the air at the proper temperature, these steam pipes being connected with the steam line by means of a'pipe 29. A' fan 30 is located within the heating chamber, and arranged to force air through the aperture 27 into the casing, the heated air passing around the cylinder and through the apertures 22 into the different compartments of the cylinder drying the clothing contained therein.
A- suction fan 31 is located in an outlet tube 32 in the lower portion of the casing and arranged to draw the heated air through the cylinder, dr ing the clothes therein, ejecting the air t rough the outlet aperture 33. The fans 30 and 31 are mounted upon shafts 34 and 35 respectively, each shaft being provided with a pulley 36 which is connected by means of a belt to any source of power. The casin 1 is provided with a door 37 upon one si e, a downwardly inclined chute 38 being located through the door opening and supported by means of a suitable bracket 39.
The operation of the device is as follows: The clothing to be dusted or deodorized is placed within the compartments of the cylinder and the doors of the cylinder sections closed and the door 37 of the casing is also closed. The steam valve 40 is then opened admitting steam to the perforated pipe 23 and the steam valve 41 is opened admitting steam to the air heating chamber. The drive belt is shifted to either desired one of the pulleys 10 rotating the cylinder, and the fans 30 and 31 are operated. The cylinder is thus rotated tumbling the clothing within each compartment against the strips 16 therein and the brushes 21, thoroughly agitating the clothing and removing dust and dirt therefrom. At the same time the steam jets are passed through each compartment of the cylinder and through the clothing as it is agitated while the heated air is drawn through the clothing carrying'away the dust and dirt which may remain 1n the clothing and at the same time deodorizing the clothing. The clothing may be thoroughly dried within the device by shutting off the steam to the pipe 33 and allowing the heated air to be drawn through the clothing all odors of gasolene and the like being absolutely'removed the clothing being as free from odor after this treatment as though it had been dried in the open air. The deodorizing and drying of garments is thus thoroughly and quickl I accomplished.
After the clothing has been thoroughly deodorized and dried in the device the rotation of the cylinder is stopped at a point to bring .one of the inclined walls 15 into position to register with the chute 38 as shown in Fig. 3. The door 19 to this compartment as well as the door 37 to the casing are opened and the clothing is easil slid down the inclined wall 15 and throug the chute 38 into any suitable receptacle 42. Each compartment of the cylinder is thus emptied of clothing.
When it is desired to use the device as a cleaning machine steam is not admitted to the pipe 23 and the fans 30 and ,31 are not operated, the casing 43 which carries the fan 31 may be unscrewed from the tube 32 and a cap inserted upon the open end of the tube 32 in place thereof. The casing 1 is then about half filled with gasolene and the clothing placed in the compartments in the cylinder which is rotated in the usual manner agitating the clothes as they are passed through the gasolene. The brushes 21 are not needed in this operation and are preferably removably connected to the cylinder so that they may be removed when it is desired to use the device as a cleaning machine.
Attention is now directed to Fig. 2 wherein it is clearly illustrated that the bottom of the casing 1 is provided with a groove or gutter 44 which-is inclined downwardly toward the right hand end of the machine,- an outlet neck 45 being provided therein and having a closing cap 46 by means of which the casing 1.may be easily drained. The neck 45 further acts as a receptacle to catch any match sticks or the like which may work out from the clothing.
Although the drawings and above specification disclose the best mode in which I have contemplated embodying my invention I desire to be not limited to the details of such disclosure, for, in the further practical application of my invention, many changes in form and construction may be made, as circumstances require or experience suggests, without departing from the spirit within the casing comprising a plurality of segmental sections joined together, each section comprising an individual compartment and independent means for gaining access within the casing comprising a plurality of to each compartment. compartments, each compartment having 2.
