IRA 3'. OWEN, OF GRAIID RAE'IDS, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOB, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO IBISSELL CARPET SIVEEEEE (30., OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, A CORPORATION OF MICHIGAN.
CARPET SWEEPER W 1TH BRUSH-CLEANING DEVICE.
Application filed October 26, 1922. Serial No. 597,053.
This invention relates to, an improved con struction of carpet sweeper with brush cleaning device.
The objects of the invention are to provide a carpet'sweeper with a brush cleaning means coacting automatically therewith to keep the brush free from lint, hair, thread and like debris.
A further object is to provide an improved construction of such device co-operating with the brush which shall be effective in collecting such dbris from the brush and discharging the same into the dustpan.
Objects pertaining to details and economies of construction and operation will definitely appear from the detailed descrip tion to follow.
I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is 2 of this application, in which:
Fig. I is a detail transverse sectional elevation View on line '1-1 of Fig. II, showing the brush, casing, floor wheels for driving the brush, and my improved automatic brush cleaner device disposed in position.
Fig. II is an enlarged detail transverse sectional elevation view on line 22 of Fig. I, showing the relation of the brush to the cleaner teeth.
Fig. III is a detail perspective view of the toothed cleaner detached.
In the drawing similar reference characters 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, 1, 1 are the ends of the case. 2 is the top or shell of the same. 3 is the brush, having separate tufts 4c, disposed in spiral relation as in well-known structures of carpet sweeper. 5 is the driven wheel of the brush, and 6, 6 are the floor wheels engag ing to drive the carpet sweeper in any suitable way.
The brush is supported in the end bars 7 by suitable pivots and the structure is pro vided with the usual furniture guard 8. 9 is the hail, of any suitable handle construction. 10 is the improved block or bar which carries the improved toothed brush cleaner, the same being secured in place by screws 11 through the sides of the case. The toothed cleaner part 12 is of sheet metal and provided with teeth 18 which are cut from the edge of the strip with curved points pointing alternately in opposite directions, as seen in Figs. II and III, the outwardly curved points 13 being distinctly illustrated in both Figs. II and III. The toothed bar 12 is retained on the bar 10 by screws 14,see Figs. I and II. The teeth are of such length as to project slightly into the periphery of the brush and are disposed in spaced relation so that the projecting ends engage between the tufts at of the brush and thus effectively pull or lift from the same any accumulations of string or hair or thread or other dbris. When the brush revolves toward one side these accumulations are naturally collected on the teeth at that side and when the brush reverses its movement they are swung over and deposited in the dustpan, seen at 15 in Fig. II.
The carpet sweeper is of course reciprocated back and forth on the floor and the teeth 13 at the opposite sides act alternately and effectively and immediately gather any dbris from the brush and discharge it into the dustpan where it may be discharged from the sweeper in the usual way.
I have described my improved automatic carpet sweeper brush cleaning means in its approved form. I desire to state, however, that the teeth might be otherwise formed and otherwise supported, although at increased expense over the simple construction which I have shown. I therefore desire to claim the same specifically as well as broadly, as pointed out in the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
A sweeper for carpets or the like comprising a driven tufted brush and a metal comb strip secured to a longitudinal centrally-disposed bar secured to the casing of I the sweeper, which strip has outwardly thereof, and on the reversing of the brush discharge such debris into suitable receptacles, substantiallyas described. 10
In Witness whereof, I have hereunto setmy hand. 7
IRA J. OWEN.
