CEILING WASHER Inventor Afiornew Patented Dec. 7, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CEILING WASHER Adolph C. Grueschow, Milwaukee, Wis.
Application November 3, 1936, Serial No. 109,011
1 Claim.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in washing apparatus and more particularly to an apparatus for Washing Walls.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus wherein a portable wall washer is Constructed in such a manner as to permit manual handling in an easy and convenient manner.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a wall washing apparatus and more particularly an apparatus which can be readily used for cleaning ceilings.
These and various other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.
In the drawings:-
, Figure 1 represents aside elevational view of the apparatus.
Figure 2 represents a vertical sectional view through the washer assembly with a portion thereof in elevation.
Figure 3 is a section on the line 3--3 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 generally refers to the washer assembly, while numeral 6 generally refers to the handle assembly.
The washer 5, as is clearly shown in Figure 2, consists of the handle 6, one end of which extends into the shank l of the bifurcated body 8 the furcationsll of which are sufficiently spaced apart to receive the circular housing Hl. These furcations also receive the shaft-like extensions Hl2 of the housing In through which is journaled the hollow shaft I'Za, carrying the brush 13 at its upper end. A flexible (preferably rubber) water collecting cup I4 is secured to the upper end of the sleeve l2 so that its edge portion is substantially flush with the outer ends of the bristles of the brush i3.
Extending longitudinally through the hollow shaft I3 is the water supply tube l5 which ex tends from the water conduit 16 and has a petcock I! at the lower end thereof. The upper end of this tube l5 terminates above the back of the brush 13 so that water can be supplied to the bristles of the brush.
Carried by the shaft |2a is the impeller 18 which is actuated along with the shaft 1211 by a jet of water from the conduit 16. It can be seen in Figure 1 as well as in Figure 3, that the upper end of the conduit 16 connects to the tangentially disposed spout l9 so that water from the conduit l6 enters the housing In and forces rotation of the impeller I8. An outlet hose 20 is provided for the housing l0 and this unites with the drain hose 21 from the top 14. These hose sections 28-2l connect to the main drain line 22 which is preferably flexible and at its lower end attached to the top of the receptacle 2? which is situated upon the truck 24.
Also on the truck 24 is the electric motor 25 which drives the pump 26 by a belt 21 or other suitable means. The lower end of the conduit I6 is attached to the outlet of the pump 26 while a conduit section 28 is provided between the receptacle 23 and the inlet of the pump 26.
As both the conduit 16 and the drain 22 are of flexible construction, the workman can lift the machine which is preferably constructed of aluminum and other light materials to any desired height for washing walls and preferably ceilings without any inconvenience.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materialsmay be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
What is claimed is:-
A washer of the character described comprising a yoke, a handle extending from the yoke, said yoke having substantially parallel extending portions, said extending portions having openings therein, a housing interposed between said extending portions, oppositely projecting tubular members on the housing extending through said openings, a resilient cup-like memher on the outer end of one of the tubular members, a drain pipe extending from the housing and through an opening in one of the extending portions to prevent rotation of the housing, a hollow shaft extending through the housing and having its ends journaled in said tubular.mem bers. a brush secured to the end of the tubular shaft adjacent the cup-like member and in which the brush is located, a fluid driven impeller in the housing secured to the tubular shaft, a fluid inlet for said housing adapted to discharge fluid against said impeller to rotate the same, a fluid conduit extending to said inlet, and a branch pipe extending from the conduit and through the tubular shaft to terminate in the cup-like member.
