In nseit'will be understood thatit is only necessary to place the carpet upon the bed or table 0, and impart motion to the cylinder by hand-power applied to the crank Q, or by a belt passing over p ulley upon'the shaft of the cylinder, and to impart an oscillating motion to the shaft J by hand-power applied to the crank K, or by suitable machinery, the carpet being moved along oi erthe table or bed as the beating or whipping'eontinnes, until the cleaning is completed. This rapid vertical vibration of the carpet, together with the rapidbeating, causes the dirt to be removed rapidly and thoroughly from the carpet and without injury to the carpet.

Having thus described'our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- vided with heaters,
