UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
IRA J. OWEN, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS,
TO BISSELL CARPET SWEEPER COMPANY, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, A COR- PORATION OF MICHIGAN.
CARPET SWEEPER.
Application filed. March 8, 1921.
This invention relates to improvements in carpet sweepers. It relates more particularly to improvements in the shell or case of carpet sweepers.
The object of the invention is to provide a very economical, efiicient and light case for carpet sweepers.
I accomplish the object of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claim.
A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which:
Fig. I is a plan view of the case for a carpet sweeper embodying the features of my invention.
Fig. II is an enlarged detail cross section of the same, taken on line 22 of Fig. I.
Fig. III is a detail cross section taken on line 38 of Fig. II.
Fig. IV is a detail view of the blank material from which the sides and top of the shell are formed.
Fig. V is an enlarged detail view through the angular part of the cover showing the method of forming the bend in the fibre board material.
In the drawing similar numerals of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.
Considering the numbered parts of the drawing, the shell of fibre board is made up of a flat top portion 1, inclined front and rear portions 2 and 3, and vertical front and rear side portions 4 and 5.
The ends 6 have their upper corners cut off obliquely and are conformed to the shell portion as appears in Fig. II.
Guard bars 7 are at the front and rear of the case and are gained at 8 to receive the end pieces 6. The inner sides of the guard bars 7 are rabbeted at 9 to receive the front and rear edges of the fibre board shell and finish and guard the same. These rabbets are preferably dove-tail in form to engage and retain the said edges which are also glued or otherwise cemented thereto. The structure would be effective if the rabbeting were omitted but this enhances the strength very much.
Serial No. 450,581.
The fibre board shell is provided with a tough lining 10,see Fig. V, and with a finishing layer 11 which is preferably made of tough, high grade material, a good rag paper being effective although for cheap work the finishing sheet may be of any material that will take a good finish.
To fold the fibre board and finish the same effectively I provide a wedge-shaped knife of wide angle, about that reaches across the sheet, the edge of which is slightly dubbed. This forces the severed edges into the sheet and molds and rounds the same. It folds down the edge of the finishing material, breaks and crushes some of the fibres of the fibre board near the surface, and puts pressure on the others which causes the fold to be made to the angle indicated without materially weakening the fibre board. In practice a set of knives is used.
The edges of the finishing material being forced into and conformed to the severed edges of the board give the shell a neat and finished appearcnce and, because the finishing sheet is folded in in this way the same remains very securely in position.
After the case is thus made a coat of varnish, paint or enamel, as the case may be, may be applied, which effectively seals the edge of the finishing sheet at the open crease, as indicated. In cheap and especially toy goods such final finish is usually omitted. I
The front and rear edges of the case could be otherwise finished but I show what I consider the most practical and eflicient.
Having thus described my invention, what I'claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
In a case or shell for carpet sweepers, the combination of suitable ends with their upper corners cut to sloping angular form,
