to the tube and the disks 6. Preferably, the i This invention relates to heaters or dusters for cleaning carpets, rugs and other articles, and has for its object providing an improvement on such heaters which may be used with any ordinary type of vacuum cleaner or carpet sweeper, or may be used as a carpet sweeper, or beater, or both, by itself, independently of ordinary vacuum cleaner devices. Other objects of the invention will be apparent from a consideration of the accompanying drawing and the f'ollowin description thereof.
Of the drawing, Fig. 1 is a plan view of the beater with certain portions broken away to show the internal mechanism; and Fig; 2 is a sectional view along the line 2-2 of Fig.1.
The'beater comprises a spindle 5 which extends from one end to the other of the beater, the ends of the shaft being adapted to be carried by any ordinary bearings of vacuum cleaners or other devices for forcing the beater forwardly and operating it in general. Surrounding the spindle 5 is a tube shaft 6 which extends also from one end to the other of the beater and is rotatably mounted upon the spindle. Any means may be provided for reducing the friction between the tube shaft 6 and the spindle 5. I prefer a plurality of sets of rod roller bearings 7 which are suitably arrangedbetween .the beater and the shaft and are retained in position by any sultable means, such as the washers 8. v
Fixed to the tube 6 are annular disks 10, spaced somewhat as indicated, and mounted adjacent the peripheries of the adjacent disks are heaters 11. Each of the heaters comprises a heater spindle 12 which is fixed by itsends to the disks, and each beater also comprises a,
roller cylinder 13'which forms the rolling ele- 'ment of the heater and which is rotatably mounted on the beater spindle and, preferably, has rod bearings 14 suitably positioned between the spindle 12 and the roller 13. These bearings are held in place by any suitable means, such as the washers 15. 7
Also, mounted upon the tube 6 are rows of brushes 17. These rows of brushes may be fixed to the tube in any suitable manner. I prefer to mount the brushes in a strip 18 which extends from one disk to the adjacent disk and which is fixed in any suitable manner 'nately strike down on the rug or other articles, it'being understood that the spindle 5 18 supported at the proper height to allow an impact of the heaters on its downward stroke-without stopping ormaterially retarding the rotation of the tooth. The beaters '11 beingrotatably mounted, thereis no appreciable friction between the surface of the heaters and-the rug and, hence, no wearing of the rug in that way. At the same time, the rug receives an impact from each of the heaters which is sufiicient to drive out the dust in the rug.
By alternating the heaters, as indicated,
ATENT'I OFFICE the shock to the rotating heater is materially reduced; and the system is balanced; and the inertia of the upper heaters and supporting mechanism continues the rotation of the beater system when the lower heaters are on the rug.
As the beater rotates,- the brushes assist in sweeping up and picking up lint and other substances in an ordinary manner. The brushes, being also alternately arranged, also balance each other on the heater; and they extendbeyond the peripheries of'the disks as far as may be desired.
' In the operation, the function of the disks, aside from supporting the beater rollers, is to hold the rug from being elevated from the floor by the suction of the air or by the action of the beater, thus holding the rug fairly snugly and smoothly on the floor for the betcomprising a supporting spindle, pairs of spaced disks rotatably and coaxially mounted on said spindle, means for rotating said disks, a beater spindle extending between each pair of disks with its ends fixed thereto, and a beater roller rotatably mounted on each beater spindle, said roller being of continuous material.
2. An article of manufacture comprising a supporting spindle, a-tubular shaft rotatably and coaxially mounted on said spindle, a plurality of pairs of disks coaxially fixed to said shaft, a beater spindle mounted between each pair of disks with its'ends fixed thereto adjacent the peripheries of the disks,
a beater roller rotatably and coaxially mounted on said beater spindle, means for rotating said shaft, and brushes mounted on said shaft .each brush extending between a pair of disks and projecting outwardly at an angle with the beater of the same pair of disks.
. v 3. A beater for cleaning rugs and the like comprising a supporting spindle, pairs of spaced disks rotatably and coaxially mounted onsaid spindle, means for rotating said disks, a beater spindle extending between each pair of disks with its ends fixed there- .to, and a beater roller rotatably mounted on each beater spindle and projecting outward- .ly beyond said disks, said rollers being of continuous material and being mounted on roller bearings.
4. A beater as claimed in claim 3, including a brush fixed to each pair of disks and projecting outwardly beyond the disks.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand. a or FRANKLIN L. FELTY.
