JOSEPH JAMES WILSON, OF OTTAWA ONTARIO, CANADA, ASSIGNOR O'F ONE-HALF TO JAMES v.ALEXANDER HENDERSON, OF WESTBORO, ONTARIO, CANADA.'
FLOOR WAXING AND FINISHING MACHINE.
Application led September 24, 1921. Serial No. 502,992.
To all whom z't may conccwt:
. Be it known that I, JOSEPH JAMES lVTL- SON, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of Westboro, city of Ottawa,
6 in the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Floor Taxing and Finishing Machines, of which the following is a specification.
i This invention relates to improvements in iioor waxing and finishing machines, and the objects of the invention are to provide a simple, eiiicient, and economically constructed machine for polishing hardwood, ma-rble and linoleum iioors, and ,which can atthe same time' be easily manipulated and conveyed from one place to another.
A further object is to provide a machlne of this character Without any complicated parts in its construction to get out of order.
A still further ob'ect is to provide a machine of this kind t at will carry and heat the wax required and at the same time regulate the flow of the .wax to the floor; in short, to provide a self-contained and economical machine that can be operated to produce the most satisfactory results even by a child.
The invention consists essentially of a suitably mounted member provided with rotatable polishing means therein and having mounted thereon a suitable motor having attached thereto a wax container, means for operating the carriage member, means for heating the wax container, and means chine.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, reference 1s now had to the accompanying drawings, in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure, and in which:
Figure 1 lis a side elevation of the machine.
Figure 2 is a vertical section.
AFigure 3 is a perspective view partly in section of the wax container. s
Figure 4 is a top sectional view of the container Showing its attachment to the motor.
' Figure 5 is a front elevation of the sand paper carrier.
Figure 6 is a sectional detail of an alternative form of the floor polishing means.
Referring to the drawings:
' A is the machine comprising a suitably for operatlng, lifting and carrying the maformed carriage member 10 provided with a front castor wheel 11 attached thereto in any well known manner and two rear wheels l2 adapted to be cast with the machine so as to give free play to the machine without the inconvenience of side wheels which prevents a machine of'this kind being satisfactorily operated into corners and the like.
Mounted upon the carrying member 10 is a motor 13 provided with a vertically disposed shaft 14 and securely boltedat 15 to the carriage member and having attached thereto by means of the retaining member 16-bolted to the carriage at 17 the 'wax container 18 preferably constructed, as here shown, in cylindrical shape of copper and comprising two concentric cylinders 19 and 20 in spaced relationship to each other to receive therebetween the heating coils 21, suitably insulated. 21a is a heat insulating lining for cylinder 19. vThe container 18 is formed with a suitable spout or outlet 22 in the bottom thereof adapted to feed the wax to the iioor as required, the flow of the wax being controlled by the lsupply tap 23 in 8o the spout 22. 24 is an annular brush detachable secured at-25 to the vertically disposed shaft 14 by means of a set Screw 26 through the bearing 27 in 'the vbrush carrier and adapted in operation to work in the wax and thus polish the floor. J This brush, when so desired, may be replaced by the carrier 28 adapted to hold Sand paper or other means for scraping the floor, as vshown in Figure 5. 29 is the operating handle bar pivotally mounted through the fork-s aped member 30 on the carriage 13 at 31. The handle bar- 29 is of any suitable ma' erial, preferably oak, and made hollow to carry therein the electric wires 32 and 33 and provided with 95 a switch box 34 having switches 35 and 36., one for the motor 13 .and the other for the heating coils 21 in the wax container, respectively. 37 is the gripping handle formed with an 100 iron frame and the wooden gripping bar 38. 39 is a lifting and carrying member, one end of which'is pivotally secured on the handle bar 29 being bent at right angles at 41 to grip a suitably provided slot 42 on the motor 105 top at 43. he member 39 is adapted for lifting and carrying the machine from place to place, as may be required in an o erative position, while in an inoperative pos1tion the lifting member 39 is swung aroundfto lie 110 against the handle bar 29, as shown in Figure 1.
43a are the rolls on the motor and 44 is a plug in the container for connecting up the electric wires. 45 is the container cap or cover provided with a suitable handle 46. From the arrangement of the electric connections, it will be noted that the brush and the wax' container maybe operated either separately or collectively by means of the two switches in the switch boX 34.
From the foregoing, the operation of my device will be readily understood for Waxing and polishing floor. The electric current is applied through the switch boX 34 to the heating coils in the container and, on the wax being melted, the brush'is then operated and both work together, the Wax being fed on to the loor and the brush working it in and polishing the ioor.
As many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely diEerent embodiments of my invention within the scope of the claims, constructed -Without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specication and drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
What I claim as my invention is: v
1'. A ioor waxing. and finishing machine,
comprising in combination, a suitably mounted frame, a motor on'said frame, a rotary brush detachably mounted on the frame and shaft connected to the motor, a wax container band-secured to the motor and provided with means vfor discharging melted wax behind the brush, means for electrically heating the container and means for regulating the ow of melted wax from the container.
2..:In a oor waxing andinishing machine, substantially as described and in combination a suitable frame, having motor driven polishing means mounted thereon and means for supplying melted waxv for the machine, comprising a wax-container, including a pair of concentric cylinders arranged in spaced relationship to oneanother and adapted to carry therebetween'heating vcoils suitably connected to the source of power, switch means for regulating the current to said coils, valve regulated discharge means for the container cover means for the container.
In witness whereof l have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
JOSEPH JAMES WLSON.
