PLUGKING DEVICE.
Application filed May 14:,
This invention relates to devices for renovating carpets and rugs, dermatological purposes and other like uses. More part1cularlv the invention is directed to an instrument for removing threads that mar the appearance of washed carpetings such as, the so called Oriental rugs and as a depilatory, as for example, for plucking the hairs to shape eyebrows in personal beautlfying treatments.
One object of the invention is to provide a powerdriven device of the character described which is easily manipulated by an operator to quickly remove an anchored thread or hair without injuring ad acent structures.
Another object of the invention is to provide, in an improved device of the character described, an attachment of simplified construction for engaging with on contact and removing an anchored thread or halr, said instrument being adapted to be driven through a flexible power transmission.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved device of the character described comprising a few and simple parts forming a compact instrument, which shall be easy to operate, cheap to manufacture, and practical and eflicient to a high degree in use.
Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplifled in the constructions hereinafter described and of which the scope of application will be indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown various possible embodiments of this invention.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the improved device embodying the invention being applied to remove undesirable threads showing in the pattern of a washed Oriental rug.
Fig. 2 is an elevational View of the improved thread engaging attachment terminating the flexible power shaft of the device.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken on lines 3-3 in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged elevational fragmentary view, partly in sections, showing was. Serial no. 27?,565.
a modified form of the attachment adapted to be used for dermatological purposes; and
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of member having a pointed end shaped to facilitate separating out the undesirable cotton threads and guiding the latter for pluckin Oriental carpeting, such as Chinese rugs, are usually dyed their finished color after being woven, and any cotton threads or ends extending to the visible nap surfaces of the rugs are rendered inconspicuone because they take practically the same color as the wool nap forming the Wearing surfaces. But as such rugs are subjected only to processes for fixing the dye colors on woolen materials forming the nap surfaces to make the colors fast, said rugs when laundered or cleansed have the color of the cotton materials entirely washed out or faded so as to leave the nap surfaces spotted by the cotton threads. It is therefore necessary to pluck out said cotton threads to avoid marring the appearance of the rugs.
In order to quickly and easily remove these undesirable threads an improved device 10 embodying the invention is provided.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the 7 device 10 is seen to comprise a suitable power means such as an electric motor 11 fitted with a flexible drive transmission 12 which is terminated by an attachment holder 13. Said motor, transmission and holder may be of any well know construction, as for example such as employed for dental work. The transmission 12 is here seen to comprise an elongated tubular shielding casing 12 through which the coil wound drive-shaft 12 extends, and the holder 13, which includes a finger grip housing 13 terminating said casing 12 and enclosing a slide clutch 13" mounted to revolve with said shaft 12 The holder 13 by means of said clutch is adapted to releasibly engage various tools, such as a twist drill 16, to be rotated by the motor 11 through the transmission 12 in the well understood manner.
An attachment denoted generally at A is provided for removing an undesirable thread T of a rug it appear. Said attachmentA may be made integral with the housing 13 or may form separate structures including a connecting piece 14 and member 15 mounted to extend from said housing as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
as will hereinafter more fully tion 16 of said drill.
The connecting piece 14 has a sleeve portion 14 firmly secured to the end of the housing 13*, and a saddle portion 14 projecting from said sleeve portion 14. The saddle portion 14 may be formed with passage openings 14 to give access to the portion of the drill 16 in the holder 13 adjacent to the clutch 13 and a mountin end 14 on which the member 15 is adjustab ly secured. The member 15' may form a conical shell structure through which extends the twist drill 16, said member being provided with an opening 15 extending down from the apex 15 for exposing only an end por- The extreme outer portion of the rim of said opening 15 is preferably made to align with the axis XX of rotation of the drill or permitting the fluted spiral grooves 16 at said drill end portion 16" to engage on contact with said threads T. A thread T caught in a groove 16 of therevolving drill and carried against the relatively fixed rim edge 15 of said opening causes the thread to be plucked out and removed from the rug. As seen from Figs. 2 and 8, the member 15 also serves as a shield, to guard the operation and rug against accidental injury, the apex 15 of said member partially covering the sharp end 16 of the drill and forming a guarding closure to prevent the drill end from accidentally injuring the rug structure during the thread removing operation. The apex T15 also provides a convenient means for resting surface. 7 7
'To provide for various lengths of drills, the member 15 has a threaded base 15 which theattachment against a supporting screws into the mounting end 14 of the connecting piece 14 and is secured in set position by the locknut 17.
In using the invention, the device 10 is assembled as shown in the drawing and the motor is connected to a suitable electrical power source (notshown). The operator simply grasps the holder like a pencil and manipulates the attachment A to bring the exposed portion 16 of the drill in contact with an undesired cotton thread T showing modified form of attachment adapted to be used for dermatological purposes such as plucking hairs in shaping eyebrows and as a depilitory. Here the member 115 and drill 116 have all edges smoothly rounded to prevent accidental injury to the tissues surrounding the hairs when applying the device to the persons body. Another modified form of shielding member embodying the invention is shown at 215 in ,5. Here the apex 215 is extended and chamfered as at 215 and 215 to provide a pointed end or finger 215 which facilitates manipulating the separation of the undesirable cotton thread from the wool nap and aids in directing said thread to the drill end for plucking.
It will thus be seen that there is provided a device in which the several objects of this invention are achieved and which is well adapted to meet the conditions o't practical use.
As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention, and as various changes might be made in the embodiments above set forth, it is to be understood that all matters herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawing are to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
