UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. g
HIRAM W. BATES, on BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
CARPET-BEATING MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 276,656, dated .May 1, 1.883.
Application filed November 10, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HIRAM W. BATES, of
I Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for Beating Garpets, of which the following is a specification.
In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure l is a plan view of a carpet-beating machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section. Fig. 3 is a horizohtal section through the rollers.
A represents-the base supporting the rollerframe 0 and the bed-frame B. A space, a, is left between tbeends of the bed-frame and roller-frame. Heretofore the frame-work of the machines has closed up the ends of the space where the carpet falls after having been beaten ,but in this invention the ends are left open at a, so that in case the carpetis broader than the machine it need not be folded, but can fa1l,by meansof said openings, outside the machine as fast as it passes through.
D D are two rollers provided with straps or flails cl in the usual manner, and rotated by means of the shaft E, to which motion is communicated by means of the pulley e, A portion of the straps d on one roller is broken off in Fig. 1, the better to show the bed. Two
rollers are used instead of one, in order that in case a narrow carpet is to be beaten but one roller may be used, thereby saving the wear and tear on one half the straps, andalso cconomizing power. Eachroller is adapted to be made loose or rigid, as desired, onthe shaft E by means of screws f, accessible through openings g. Byloosenin g said screws the-rollers may be made to slip on the shaft, and by tightening either one its roller may be made to partake of the motion of said shaft.
H H are the strips or cross-pieces forming the bed of the machine. Thecarpet I is fed upon this bed,and is drawn in and dropped between the frames B and O, as seen in Fig.2, by the rapid blows of the straps d. I t is found that when the cross-pieces H are laid across the frame at right angles, parallel to its ends, the seams of the carpet being beaten are likely to be ripped open,-as they are on a line with the cross-pieces. This difficulty is obviated in my invention by placing the cross-pieces H' diagonally in the frame B. so that the seams of the carpet will cross the bed-pieces H,.instead of moving in a line with them. this invention provision is made by the diagonal cross-pieces for preservation of the seams.
Thus in and by the spaces a for the accommodation of a carpet broader than the machine, and by the two rollers for the accommodation of a narrow carpet without wasting the straps. V
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
I. In a machine for beating carpets, the combination, with the base A, of the bed frame B and roller-frame 0, said frame 0 separated from frame B, so as to leave spaces a for the purpose of extending the space for receiving the beaten ca'rpet the entire length of the machine, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a carpet-beating machine, the combination, with the frame 0 and shaft E, of the two rollers D D, each adapted, by means of the screwsf, shaft E, and pulley e, to be rotated independently of the other, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. In a carpet-beating machine, the combination, with the rollers provided with the beating-straps and the bed-frame B, of the diagon'al bed-pieces or cross-pieces H, arranged substantially as and for the purpose specified.
- HIRAM W. BATES.
