POCKET CLEANER Filed Jan. 22, 1955 m A? u" F/QZ. 3* I Inventor 07 0 0. flZe/ssen Attorney patented Nov. 19, 1935 UNITED STATES POCKET CLEANER Otto 0. Fickeissen, St. Louis, Mo., assignor to Atlas Linen & Towel Service Company, St. Louis, Mo., a corporation of Missouri Application January 22, 1935, Serial No. 2,949
1 Claim. ,(Cl. 15-7) This invention pertains to new and useful improvements in cleaners for apparel and more particularly to an apparatus especially adapted for treating garment pockets.
5 The principal object of the present invention is to provide a pocket cleaner including. a rigid nozzle which can be readily inserted into a pocket.
Another important object of the present in- 10 vention is to provide a pocket cleaner including a nozzle and suction means therefor, with a movable brush at the inlet of the nozzle for loosening foreign matter in the pocket being cleaned.
Other important objects and advantages of the 15 invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 represents a perspective View of the apparatus.
Figure 2 represents an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view through the apparatus.
Figure 3 represents an enlarged fragmentary detailed sectional view taken substantially on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen in Figure 1 that numeral 5 denotes a work bench upon which the novel apparatus generally referred to by numeral 6 is secured.
30 The apparatus can be secured upon the table as shown in Figure 1 or with the major portion thereof secured under the table as shown in Figure 2. Referring to Figure 1, it can be seen that numeral 1 denotes a housing-above which rises the elongated conduit 8 terminating in the nozzle 9, the upper end of which is rounded off and provided with the slot I therein through which the bristles ll of the brush l2 protrude as the brush is rotated. The brush I2 (see Figure 2) 40 is provided with a pulley l3, the brush being rotatably mounted on the member M.
The housing I has the motor I secured thereto from which the shaft l6 extends to project into the lower end portion of the conduit 8. On
45 the shaft I6 is the suction fan ll along with the small pulley l8. A belt I9 is trained over the pulleys l3 and I8 and in this manner the motor I5 not only drives the suction fan I! but also the brush l2.
As is clearly shown in Figure 1, the housing I 5 is provided with the upstanding plate 20 having opening 2| therein through which securing elements can be disposed for securing the plate to the edge portion of the work bench 5 in the manner substantially shown in Figure 2.
Furthermore the conduit 8 is in sections, the same being divided longitudinally and provided with suitable means 22 whereby the sections of the conduit can be detachably connected.
Numeral 23 represents the suction bag while numeral 24 represents the wires extending from the motor l5 to the plug 25 and also to the fioor switch 26.
Obviously with the conduit 8 extending upwardly above the top of the table 5, a garment can be disposed over the same so that the pockets of the garment can receive the nozzle 9 and when the motor I5 is energized, the brush l2 will serve to loosen up any hairs or foreign matter in the pockets which will be sucked into the bag 23 by the motor l5 and fan ll.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size, materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
What is claimed as new is:
A pocket cleaner comprising a housing, a suction fan in the housing, a shaft for supporting the suction fan, a pulley on the shaft, an elongated pocket insertable nozzle extending from the housing, and having .a narrow slot in the outer end thereof, a thin rotary brush in the outer end of the nozzle with its peripheral portion protruding through said slot, a pulley on the brush maintaining the brush toward one side of the said slot to define a suction passageway, and drive means between the said pulleys.
