Definitions

  • U This invention relates to cleaning and polishing machines of the kind in which an article to be cleaned or polished is held against a rotating cleaning or polishing member, and has a particular application in, although not restricted to, machines for cleaning boots and shoes.
  • the rotating member in a cleaning and polishing machine of the kind referred to, is adapted to be carried on an upright, driven spindle and tov be brought by downward axial movement into driving engagement with a co-operating member carried by the spindle and means are provided for lifting the rotating member out of driving engagement.
  • the weight of the member is suliicient to ensure engagement of a dog or the like with the co-operating member. Since the cleaning orY polishing member rotates about an unright axis, any flying particles will travel horizontally and not upwards thus minimizing riskvto the operator. It will be appreciated that, if desired, more than one driven spindle may be provided, so that a similar number of polishing or cleaning members are simultaneously available.
  • the aforesaid rotating member may be provided with a dog or the like at its lower end.
  • a pivoted lever is provided for lifting the rotating member out of engagement with the spindle. By lifting-said rotating member so that it ceasesv to be driven by the spindle, it may readily be removed from the spindle without the latter being stopped.
  • the spindle be tapered so that its diameter is smaller at the upper end.
  • the rotating member may comprise a. brush having bristles extending outwardly from the two valves of a cylindrical surface divided along an axial plane, which two halves are held together by two end plates so as to form a cylindrical brush.
  • the rotating member may comprise a cylindrical element carrying a number of co-axial disc shaped pieces of leather or the like spaced axially along said cylindrical element by means of spacers.
  • suction device for extracting dust laden air from the region around the rotating member and means for filtering the dust from the stream of dust-laden air.
  • Means may be provided for directing the Z stream of ltered air into the region between the rotating member and the suction device so as to assist the withdrawal of particles of dust by the suction device.
  • V, Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of boot polishing-machine
  • Figure 2 is a partial vertical sectional view through a polishing member showing the construction thereof and how it ts on the drive spindle;
  • Figure 3 is a view from the underside of the device for lifting the cleaning or polishing member
  • Figure 4 is a vertical section through another form of polishing member
  • Figure 5 is a vertical section through a brush for use with the machine
  • Figure 6 is a vertical section through the machine which is shown in Figure l and illustrates the air filter and -Fgure 7 is a perspective view of a second form of boot polishing machine.
  • the base of the machine is formed by a hollow base member I0 supported on three legs II and provided with raised side screens l2 which extend around the rear of the machine.
  • a top cover plate I3 extends over the rearward part of the machine and covers an electric motor I4 which drives an impeller I5 of a suction fan situated in the base member I0. n arranged a double wall, the inner wall I6 being continuous and the outer wall l1 louvred, the space between the walls forming a duct which is extended to the fan I5.
  • the spindle I8 is tapered having the smaller diameter at the top and towards its lower end there is provided a pin 20 passing transversely through the spindle.
  • the projecting ends of the pin are adapted to engage dogs 2
  • This cylindrical member 22 is arranged to carry In front of the motor I4 there isr coaxially a number of discs 23 of soft leather, e. g. chamois leather, which are spaced apart along the axis of the member 22 by suitable spacing pieces 24. When rotated about a vertical axis, the discs 23 extend horizontally due to the centrifugal force. These discs 23 may conveniently have a diameter'about two or three times that of the cylindrical member 22 on which they are carried. For a purpose to be described hereinafter, the lower end of the polishing member is provided with a circular bearing portion-25 which is integral with the hollow cylindrical member 22.
  • the leather discs 23 and spacingpieces'fare made a press lit on the cylindrical member 22 and are clamped by a top clamp1'whichis ⁇ provided with a. threaded portion engaging an inter-- nal thread in the upper part of the cylindrical member 22.
  • a top clamp1' whichis ⁇ provided with a. threaded portion engaging an inter-- nal thread in the upper part of the cylindrical member 22.
  • the polishing member When the polishing member is tn be used, itis slippedoverthe spindle withthe dogs 2
  • the weight is made suflicient that the dogs will engageithezpin when the spindle is rotating at its normal running speed.
  • Theftaper on the spindle ensures ⁇ thatfxi-,hepolishing.member is a loose nt until it .is .seated 'andstherefore easily slipped overptherspindle.
  • the ⁇ member 22st its upper and lower ends is made to tit closely on the spindlei so that ,thepolishingzmemher is 'firmly supported and-,does nct' ⁇ vibrate when ⁇ seatedin position.
  • the cylindrical member 22 Whenit is in the "raised positiomowing to the taper, the cylindrical member 22 is a loose nt .on the spindle I8 and'so the polishing member will noti be rotated byreason of stray; particles of Vdirt jamming between the spindleand theinner surface ofthe cylindrical memberf22.
  • Figure l comprises a tubular shaped member 30 of flexible'polishing material stretched across two end caps 3
  • a brush of .this construction is readily assembled or repaired since easy'access' is'provided to the part where the bristles are xed.
  • a boot or shoe may be held againstthe brush or polishing member and any particles of dirt will be thrown towards the louvre'dplatefiland sucked into the fan i5.
  • dust ladenair coming our from the fan may be directed into a permeable bag attached externally -tofthe'- back of the' machine, which bag filters the @mand collects the dust. It is preferred, however, to direct the dust laden air, as shown in Figure 6, through a grating 40 into a filter 4l in the base member l0. The heavy particles of dirt drop downwards andare deposited in a removable portion 42-which is slidably carried by the guides I3. vThe filtered air is led out through a duct 44 and discharged'underneath the machine'at the front as indicated bythe arrow 45.
  • a nozzle 4S.. adapted to direct a stream offair along theupper surface of thisbase member i towards the bach of the ina--r chine'thus-cleaningthe surface by' blowing dust and dirt into the radius o'iactionof thesuction.
  • the stream of filtered air ⁇ canlbe directed through this.1 nozzle daby loweringthe valve'flap which is 'carriedcna pivotAB-and operated by the external lever v19.
  • The'valveilap'l is connected by a, link with'a valve 5mn-the exhaust ductso thatopening of'the valve ⁇ dl'causes closure or partial-closure of the lvalve 5I.
  • the lever T49 is depressedlto directastream. of air ⁇ across the top of Vthebase:member 1.0 soiblowing the dust and dirt whichmay be lying on this surface intothe duct leading toithe impeller I 5.
  • a removableworlzing member adapted to t freely over the spindle, drive transmitting means comprising cooperating elements on said Working member and said spindle adapted to be brought into driving engagement by downward movement of said working member and a lever pivoted on said base member and comprising a portion adapted to be moved upwardly into engagement with said Working member and a handle portion adapted to be depressed so that said Working member engaging portion will be moved into engagement with the Working member when the handle portion is depressed and said Working member Will be lifted to disengage said cooperating elements.
