JOHN R. SMITH, OF SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI.
IMPROVEMENT IN BOTTLE-CLEANERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,14l, datedDecember 22, 1874; application filed November 5, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, JOHN R. SMITH, of the city of Springfield, in the county of Greene and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Oleaners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a bottlecleaner, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a front View of my machine, showing a bristle brush thereon. Fig. 2 is a side View of the same, showing a sponge brush attached thereto. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the pump of the machine, and Fig. 4 shows a shot brush to be used with the machine.
A represents a box, of any suitable dimensions, open at the front and sides, and from this box extends a standard, B, provided with two arms, O O1, extending forward over the box, and one arm, G2, extending toward the rear. On a stud at the front end of the arm O is mounted a cog-wheel, D, provided with handle E. This cog-wheel D gears with a pinion, a, securedupon a vertical hollow shaft or tube, b, which passes through the arm O1 as its upper bearing, and through the top of the box A as its lower bearing. On the lower end of the hollow shaft 1)within the box A, is fastened a wide cog-wheel, G, into which meshes a similar wheel, G', this latter being provided with journals having their bearings in the top and bottom of the box A. In the bottom of this box is a groove, d, which extends from behind the point where the two wheels gear together to the hollow centerof the wheel G.
With this machine different kinds of brushes are used. The shot brush is made by doubling bristles f, and inserting the doubled part into holes made in shot e of proper size, and mashing the shot on the bristle; then taking several such prepared shotted bristles and fastening them to a wire spring, I, in such a manner as to form a brush. This brush is intended for very dirty bottles. The sponge brush is made by a piece of sponge, h, fastened to the end of the'wire I, and is used with soap for oily bottles. The bristle brush is made by fastening bristles m in a turn at the end of the wire, or otherwise, to form a brush, and is used for ordinary cleaning. The wire I is made of spring-wire, so that the brushes may press against the sides, top, and bottom of the bottle. The wire is made in the form of a coil, which is placed over the upper end of the tube b, and on the lower end of the wire is formed acatch, c', to slip in a hole in theside of the tube, and thereby fastening the brush on the tube.
The machine is fastened to a table or other support by means of screws passing through the arm G2, the box A, with its cog-wheels, forming the pump, being submerged in water. One ofthe brushes is then fastened on the upper end of the tube b, as above described. Now, take a bottle in the left hand, invert it, and insert the brush till it reaches the bottom of the bottle. Take hold of the handle E with the right hand and turn to the right. The cogs of the pump, by being turned to revolve as above, carry themselves full of water till they mesh together, thereby emptying themselves of the water. The water being forced out of the cogs, and prevented from returning by the fitting of the top, back, and bottom of the box to the cog-wheels, is forced under the wheel G through the groove d, and necessarily thrown up through the tube b against the bottom of the bottle with force, causing it to come in contact with all parts of the bottle. The brushes, while revolving, touch and brush or rub all parts of the bottle. After being brushed sufficiently, remove the bottle while the machine is in motion, and the jet of water thoroughly rinses the bottle.
When it is desired to brush the inside of the bottle Without using water, as may be often i necessary, adjust the bottle, and reverse the motion of the machine, and it will clean without washing.
H is a pan attached to the arm G1, for carrying off the dirty Water.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination of the cog-wheels G Gf, box A, with channel d, the hollow revolving shaft b, and a brush attached thereto, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
2. The combination of the revolving shaft b, spring-wire I, formed with a coil, as described, and provided with the catch t' at its lower end, and a brush, sponge, or their equivalents, at its upper end, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have afhxed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN R. sMITH. Witnesses:
FRANK H. WARREN, FELIX R. PORTER.
