This invention relates to shoe cleaners and has special reference to that type of shoe cleaner which is usually placedat the door of a house, on the running board of an auto' mobile or other like place to enable a person to clean rthe sole and edges of their shoesV before entering.
One important object of the invention is to improve the general construction of dew vices of this character.
VA second important object of the invention is to provide a novel combined scraper and brush arrangement in such a cleaner.
, Athird important object of the invention is to provide a novel arrangement of attaching and supporting means for the brushes used herein whereby the brush bristle will vbe supported for the greater part of their lengths. v
A fourth important object of the invention is to provide a novel arrangement whereby lightness is obtained without unduly sacriicing strength. f
With the above and other objects in view, u the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically claimed. y In the accompanying drawings, like characters of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and:
Figure 1 is a plan view of the cleaner;
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof;
Figure 3 is a bottom view thereof;
Figure 4; is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 1;
Figure 5 is a section on the line 5'-5 of Figure 1.
The frame of this device is preferably made as an integral casting and includes front and rear bars 10 which are offset upwardly in the central portions to provide feet 11. Side bars 12 connect the upper parts of the bars 10 between the feet and transverse bars 13 extend in spaced relation between the side bars 12. These bars 10, 12 and 13 have their upper edges inthe same plane and the bars 10 and 13 form the scraper proper. Brace.
'50 `bars 14 connect the bars 10 and 13 between tion of the latter.
`sired position.
the side bars 12v and are arranged with their lower edges in the same plane as the bottom below the Vupper edges of the bars lOand 13 so that these bars 14 support the bars 10 and 13 but do notinterfere with the scraping acthe' bottom edges Aof the bars 14 to lightenthese bars but the notches l5 ofone bar 14 are 'in staggered relation to thenotches 15 .of the otherA bar let so as not to-weaken the bracing and supporting effect of these bars to any lundue extent.
yBrush backsk 16 are fitted between the feet 11 and are secured thereto `by screws 17 in such .positionsthat the bristles 180111 one side are lsupported by the-respective bars 12,.these bristles projecting yonly slightly above said bars 12. On the otherside of v'each brush back' is mounted a lbrace angle 19 having its upper edge in the plane of the upper edges of the bars 12 and bearing against the bristles to securely support the same on this side.
Perforated lugs 20 are formed between the lower parts of the central bars 13 at each end` thereof so that screws may be inserted therethrough for securing the device'in any de- In' use the rough dirt or mud is removed from the shoes by scraping them on the bars 10 and 13 after which they are rubbed over the bristles 18.
There has thus been provided a simple and eflicient device of the kind described and for the purpose speciied.
While there is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present inventio-n, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. Y
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In a shoe cleaner,` a frame including a plurality of scraper bars and having front and back bars extending downwardly at their opposite ends to form feet,- brushes having backs secured between the feet at each'side of the frame'with the lower faces of the back lying in the same plane as the lower ends ledges of the feet 11 and theirrupper edges Notchesv'l are formed in Y of the feet and having bristles extending slightly above the frame, said frame also having side bars at the inner ends of said feet, the bristles at the inner sides of the brushes bearing against said side bars, bristle supporting angles fixed to the brush backs at their outer sides and'bearing against the bristles at said sides5 and brace bars connecting said scraper bars and having their upper edges below the upper edges of the scraper bars and their lower edges in thezplane of the lower edges of the feet to provide an intermediate support for the scraper bars. l
2. In a shoe cleaner, a frame including a plurality of scraper bars'and'having front and back `bars extending downwardly at their opposite ends to form feet,fbrus'hes having backs secured between therfeet at each side of the frame with the lowei'vfaices of the back lying in the saine plane asthe lower ends of the fee and havingA bristles extending slightly above the frame, said fraine also having side bars -at the inner ends of'said feet, the bristles at the inner sides oi the brushes bearing against said side bars7 bristley supporting angles iixed to the brush backs at their louter sides and'be'aring against the bristles at said sides, said scraper bars, side bars and angles having their upper edges in the same horizontal plane7 and brace bars `connecting said vscraper bars and having theirl upper edges below the upper edges of the scraper bars and their lower edges in the plane of the lower. edges of vthe feet toprovidean intermediate supportfor the scraperv bars.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
JOHN ZRNEL.
