EDITH A. JACKSON, OF PRAHRAN, NEAR IVJIEILBOUR-NE, VICTGR-IA, AUSTRALIA.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented A110. 1920.
Application filed February 19, 1919. Serial No, 277,951.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDITH ANNIE Jacu- SON, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of the city of Prahran, a suburb of the city of TvIGlbOlll'llQ, in the county of Bourke, State of Victoria, Commonwealth of Aust'alia, (whose postofiice address is 43 Domain road, South Yarra, in the said city of Prahran, a suburb of the city of Melbourne,) prays that Letters Patent may be granted to her for the Improvements in Devices for Cleansing the Interior of Bottles and other Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
In the cleansing of the interior of bottles and other narrow-necked receptacles which will not permit the introduction of a cleansing cloth or brush it has been a common practice to introduce common shot or other like pellets which, when vigorously shaken with water in the receptacle effectively remove dirt and adhesions clinging to its interior. Although effective in operation the above method has various drawbacks including the difficulty or impossibility of at times obtaining shot, particularly in households where such cleansing operations are largely carried out. Furthermore, the fluid character of the shot renders it liable to separate and become lost.
The object of the present invention is to provide a cheap, simple and highly effective device for cleansing bottles and other receptacles of the kind indicated which may be readily introduced and withdrawn from the receptacle without the disadvantages associated with the use of shot pellets as above mentioned.
The invention primarily resides in the use of an ordinary link chain of comparatively small dimensions in the length of which a series of metallic balls or pellets are interposed at convenient intervals so that they are retained together in a single unit which may be easily kept at hand for use when required. The invention also contemplates the employment of bristles in conjunction with the chain and balls, these bristles being preferably attached to and protruding from the balls so that the cleansing operation is still further facilitated and improved.
Referring to the drawings which form a part of this specification:-
Figure 1 is a view of portion of a chain having a series of balls attached thereto.
Figs. 2, 3, and 4 show different methods of attaching the balls to the chain.
Fig. 5 shows a bunch of bristles.
Fig. (3 shows how the balls may besplit to accommodate the bristles.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view showing the bristles securely gripped when the split portions of the ball are pressed together.
Fig. 8 is a section taken on line A Fig. 7 showing the bristles in place.
Fig. 9 shows portion of a chain with which the bristles are employed.
Fig. 10 illustrates the use of a plurality of bunches of bristles disposed diametrically opposite each other on the ball. v
011 reference to the drawings it will be seen that 2 indicates a series of chain links which may be of the plain type shown or may be twisted or of various other conformations. The links may be of any suitable metal and their size and number will depend upon circumstances and the size of the receptacle to be cleansed. Attached to the A of chain at intervals in its length are a numberof balls or pellets 3. These may be of lead, or other malleable metal or equivalent material and they may be cast or otherwise formed with the chain during its manufao ture o may be afterward attached thereto in any convenient manner. In Fig. 2 the ball is shown connected to the chain by means of two eyelet loops 4 cast or otherwise formed on the ball at opposite sides thereof. In Fig. 3 a particularly suitable method of attachment is illustrated in which a straight wire or pin 6 is passed directly through a hole in tie center of the ball and has eyelet rings 7 formed at its two ends. With this method of attachment the balls need not be manufactured with the chain which may be connected to ordinary shot pellets or other globular elements as will be readily understood. The balls instead of being provided with two separate loops as in Fig. 2 may be provided with a single connecting link 8 (Fig. 4) which. passes through the ball and forms an eyelet on each side thereof.
In combination with the foregoing, tufts of wire or hair bristles indicated at 9 are employed. These bristles may be attached to the balls in any suitable manner such as by splitting the balls as at 11 in Fig. 6 and then passing the intermediate portion of a tuft of bristles into the split and closing the two sides upon each other as in Fig. 7 so that the bristles are securely anchored to the ball with their ends protruding as in Fig. 8. The bristles may, however, be Secured in other ways and may be attached in aplurality of tufts as in Fig. 10.
In use the bottle or other receptacle is partly filled with water with the addition,
if desired, of soap or other detergent. The
device is then introduced through the mouth of the receptacle which is violently shaken so that both the chain and the balls are thrown forcibly against the sides of the vessel thereby dislodging dirt, grease, and other foreign matter which is emptied out with the water. After the vessel has been cleansed the device may be easily withdrawn or tipped outwithout risk ol the balls being lost. It will thus be seen that the chain not only acts as the binding medium for the balls but also assists largely in the dislodgment of adhesions.
Although the term ball? has been used throughout the description it will be understood that the elements 3 need not necessarily be of spherical form as various modified shapes may be employed without alfecting the utility of the invention. It is therefore intended and desired that the term ball should be interpreted as covering such variations.
Having now described my invention,what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A bottle-cleaning device, comprising a malleable metal ball adapted to be attached to a supporting element and having a diametric split extending from one side there of to near its center, the walls of said split being closed together; and a tuft of bristles having .its intermediate part secured between said closed walls and its ends protruding beyond the ball, whereby the tuft may be removed from the wall and replaced by inserting a sharp-edged instrument into the split andexpanding its walls.
In testimony whereofI ailix my signature.
EDITH A. JACKSON. Witness r CECIL IV. LE CLAs'rRmu.
