PATENT OFFICE.
SCOTT M. B URKETT. (1F IARENTUM, PENNSYLVANIA.
CLOTHES-WRINGER ATTACHMENT.
Application filed October 11. 1923. 'Serial No. 667,916.
T 0 all whom it may come m:
Be it known that 1, Soon M. Buann'rr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tarentum, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes- .Wringer Attachments, of which ing is a specification. I
The present invention relates to an attachment for clothes wringers.
The object of the invention is to furnish means whereby the rolls of clothes. wringers are constantly kept clean. For this purpose one or more brushes are attached to the wringer along the rolls and held yieldably against the latter. In this manner whenever the wringer is used and the rolls rotated, the brushes come into action and scrub the rolls clean so that after one article has been passed through the wringer the next article will not be aiiected by coloring matter from the previous article.-
In the accompanying drawing, one embodiment of the invention is illustrated,
the followand- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a wringer with a brush secured in position;
Figure 2 is an elevation of the brush in larger scale;
Figure 3 is a section along line Figure 2, and- Figure 4 is a section along line 1-4 of Fi ures 1 and 3.
Tn the drawing, reference numeral 10 represents a wringer of any known construction provided with a lower roll 11 and an upper roll 12 revolubly mounted in suitable bearings 13, and the upper roll being pressed against the lower one by means of a spring 14:, the pressure of which may be adjusted by a screw 15. These parts are common to all wringers and form no part of the present invention. 3
The brush attachment consists of a two part casing 16 composed of a top shell 17 and a bottom shell 18. The casing is of sufficient length to bridge across from one upright to another on the wringer and is adapted to be secured thereon by bolts or screws 19 engaging in apertures 20 formed in ears 21 projecting from each end of the top shell 17. The said top shell has a back wall 22 and inwardly diverging end walls 23. The top shell has also a roof 2 1 terminating with a natrrow downwardly directed front ledge 25. The bottom shell 18 has a floor plate 26, a back wall 27 and inwardly diverging end Walls 28 so that the bottom shell fits snugly in the top shell. The former has an upwardly turned front ledge 29, the top edge of which meets the bottom edge of theledge on the top shell. The middle portion of the ledge 29 is recessed, as at 33, to form a passage through which the bristles 30 of the brush 31 extend. The top and bottom shell are secured together by means of bolts and nuts 32 which engage in circular apertures provided in the rear and side walls 22 and 23 of the top shell, while corresponding vertical slits 34 are furnished in the rear wall-27 of the bottom shell.
The brush has preferably a wooden back engaging with the inside of the ledges 25 and 29 and is pressed against the same by a flat spring '35 inserted between the brush and the rear wall 27 of the lower shell 18. At 36 is shown a leather backing placed between the spring and the rear wall 27.
a As illustrated in Figure 1, a brush of the construction just described is placed along the lower roll 11 of the wringer. There might be one of these brushes on each side of the lower roll and other brushes similarly provided for the upper roll 12. When the brushes are attached to the wringer, the ends of the bristles 30 are pressed against the rolls by their springs 35 so that when the wringer is in operation and the rolls revolve therein, the cylindrical surfaces of the rolls is constantly scrubbed by the brushes and kept clean.
A further function of the brushes is to prevent the washed material from becoming tangled and wound around the rolls.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
An attachment for clothes wringers comprising a hollow casing consistin of an upper shell and a lower shell fitted snugly in the upper shell, said shells being provided with ledges extending toward each other at their inner sides and the ledge 0n the lower shell having a recess in its edge, means for securing the shells together, means for securing the ends of the upper shell to the Wringer frame, a brush disposed Within the casing With its bristles extending through the recess in the ledge on the lower shell and guided by the same and the ledge on the upper shell, and means Within the cusing for yieldably holding the brush to :1 Wringer roll.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
