COMBINED CLoTHEsLrNE REEL, ROPE WASHER, AND BRUSH Applicaton'led March 14, 1930. Serial No. 435,910.
for the washing and brushing of a clothes line rope.
'With the above and other objects in view that will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists'inYV the novel form, combination and arrangementof parts hereinafter more ful-ly described, shown in the accompanying drawings and claimed. Y
In the drawings Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan view of a clothes line reel, rope, washer and brush constructed in 'accordance with the present invention.

Referring more in detail to the accompanying drawings, there is illustrated a combined gear for a smaller clothes line reel, rope washer and brush, the
clothes line :rope 1 being endless and passing over guide pulleys 2 and 8, the guidepulleyj 1 3 being carried by a support l having an end hook 5 adapted for attachment to` a suitable support, while the guide pulley 2 is journaledina casing 6 that carries a hook 7 for attachment Vto a support. g
The casing 6 is of thegeneral design shown in side elevation in Figures 2 and 6, and embodies side walls 8 connected by edgefwalls 9 and 10, the upper side ofthe edgewall 10 being .cut awayto provide' an opening 11V fery the passage of the rope l. The Lipper side of the edgeY wall- 9'carries Aa ytunnel or spout 12 while the Vlower side of the edge wall is provided ,with an outlet nozzle 13 closed by a removable plug 14. Itis intended to partiallyfill the casing with water through Y the filling spout 6' for the washing of the rope 1 in its endless travel through the casing andv said-water is discharged through the `spout l13 upon removal of the plug 14. l
A Guide pulley 2 has central radial bearing studs 15 terminating adjacent the inner faces of the side walls 8 with bearingv screws 16 rotatable in openings in the side walls enter# ing the bearing studs 15 vior rotatably supporting the pulley 2 as will'at once be evident from an inspection of'Figur'e 4.; A pair of guide pulleys 17 are similarly journaledbetween the side .wallsfS in. spaced relation to each other adjacent theopening 11 and over which the ropel passes as illustrated in the severa-liigures, the guide pulleys 17 also comprising the bearing screws 17 a.
As shown in Figures 6 and7, a relatively large cylindrical brush 18vhasa keyed hub portion 19 keyed on` the bearing'20 that has formed integral with one end thereof a relatively large gear wheel 21. The opposite ends of thebearing 20 have threaded'sockets'.
Cit.
' thereof, opposite end-s of the key bearing 25V to receive the bearing screws 22 having outer cylindrical ends journaled in openings in a.
y or libres thereof engaged with the rope l as illustrated.
A smaller brush 23'having a keyed hub n is received on the key bearing 25, similar to the bearing 20, the bearing 25 having a pinion 26 preferably formed integral at one end having threaded sockets to receive bearing screws 27 journaled in a side wall 8 and the door 8a of the casing for supporting the brush 23 at opposite sides of the brush 18 and in a position for engagement with theouter sides of the spaced lengths of the rope l. The guide pulley 2 carries a facial gear 28 formed integral therewith that vmeshes, with the gear 21 upon the key bearings 25, the gear 21 meshing with the gears 26 upon the key bearing 25.YV The side door 8a as shown in Figs. 2
, and 7 is retained in position by the screws 7b,
the door Lbeing removable to permit lateral displacement ot the brush elements for`renewal or repair.
The clothes line is operatively mounted by engaging the hook 5 upon the dashboard support 4 'and the-hook lZ-upon the casing 6 on suitably spacedsupports withlthe rope l eX- tended in a taut condition. `The rope l is drawnV into and out of the casing 6fby a pull upon one section thereof and in this travel, the rope is engaged by the brushes 18 and 23 for Acleaning the same and presentingl a clean stretch of rope for the support of clothes to prevent soiling thereof. It is also intended to wash the rope/by partially filling the casing 6 ,with water through the filling spout 12 and upondrawing the rope into and out of the casing', the same becomes saturated traveling through the water and scrubbed by the brushes 18 and 23. The water is discharged from thecasing 6 through Vthe outlet nozzle 13. The guide pulley 2 with vthe gear 28 carried thereby forms the motive means for the brush members as will at once be evident from ran inspection of Figure 6, to effect a thorough While there isi/herein shown and described 1 the preferred embodiment of the invention, it
lis'nevertheless to be understoodrthat minor i changes may be made therein-without departing from the spirit andscope oi theinvenn tion as claimed. f
