Description
D. c. ROTH ETAL 3,079,621 ARCUATE BRUSH ARRANGEMENT Original Filed Sept. 1l, 1956 fine 2 creme. (ci. rs-iso) This invention relates generally to improvements in brushes, and more particularly it pertains to a novel arrangement of the bristle tufts thereon. This patent application is a division of US. Letters Patent 2,974,338 of David C. Roth and Karl H. Florenz, issued March 14, i961, -for Brushes `One object of this invention is .to provide a unique brush, the bristle tufts of which tend to alternately gouge or lift the material being brushed and, at the same time, to sweep the material being brushed.
Another object of this invention is to provide a brush, the bristle tufts of which tend to alternatel' gouge or sweep the material being brushed and to perform these actions irrespective of the direction the brush is being moved.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a brush, the bristle tufts of which readily adapt themselves to irregular surfaces and which perform brushing action with a minimum amount of pressure, thus lengthening the life of the bristles.
And another object of this invention is to provide a brush, the bristle tufts of which are arranged at an acute angle to the body of the brush irrespective of the shape and/or contour of the surface of the brush.
Still even another object of this invention is to provide a brush in which the bristles are mounted as mentioned above and which can be used effectively for cleaning cables or similar members, such as tubing.
To provide brush arrangements which are economical t manufacture, and efcient and reliable in operation, are other objects of this invention.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will become more apparent from the following specication and single sheet of drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a Ibottom plan of one embodiment of the brush;
PEG. 2 is a cross-section taken along line 2 2 of FIG. l;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary front elevation of the brush of FIG. l illustrating four rows of bristle tufts;
FIG. 4 is a side elevation of a preferred embodiment of the brush comprising this invention;
PG. 5 is a cross-section taken along line 5-5 of FiG. 4; and
PEG. 6 is a cross-section taken along line 6-6 of FIG. 4.
Referring now to FIGS. l, 2, and 3 of the drawing, there is illustrated one embodiment of the brush ld. Tne brush lt? consists of a rectangular shaped body forming a base i3 for mounting a plurality of rows ld, l5, 16, and 17 of bristle tufts El thereon. A row of bristle tufts le, d5, 16, and i7 is constituted by a plurality of tufts lying along a line parallel to the line of the transverse axis Of the base 13. Also, it is to be noted that rows ld, l5, lo, and i7 of bristle tufts Li can be repeated any number of times, depending upon the width of the brush 1! de sired. lt is to be noted that the body of the brush forming the base 13 can be of other shapes, such as oval, square, triangular, or the like, and that the rows of tufts ifi, l5, i6, and i7 can be arranged thereon as described herein.
Each row t4, l5, i6, and 17 of bristle tufts 4 consists of several Ibristle tufts, preferably three or more as shown.
As 'best seen in FIG-3. 2 and 3, the bristle tufts d are set in apertures 6 in the body i3 of the brush itl' at acute angles to planes perpendicular to the base, that is, the plane of the base, said planes being parallel to perpendicular planes passing through both the longitudinal and transverse axes of the body of the brush, with these angles being so selected that the 'bristle tufts 4 will cross each other lat substantially the ends thereof.
The acute angle of the bristle tufts 4 and the length of the bristle tufts are so selected that these tufts 4 will cross each other substantially at or near the ends of the bristle tufts. The bristle tufts 4 are arranged at an angle `which is racute to planes perpendicular to the base plane, jsaid planes being parallel to perpendicular planes passing through both the longitudinal as well as the transverse axes of the body 13 of the brush itl so that when the brush is operated or moved on a surface, such as a door, in the direction of one of these axes, it Will cause the rows of bristle tufts 4, pointing in the direction of movement along the axis, to gouge or lift the material being brushed; while the adjacent rows of bristle tufts d, pointing in the direction opposite to movement of the brush along the axis, will sweep the material being brushed.
As seen best in FIG. 1, the bristle tufts 4 are also arranged on the body 13 of the brush it? so that they are contiguous with perpendicular planes parallel to a perpendicular plane passing through one of the diagonal axes of the base plane of the base 13; while the same row 14 of the bristle tufts s is at an acute angle to perpendicular planes parallel to a perpendicular plane passing through the opposite diagonal axis of the base plane. The bristle tufts of row l5 are arranged on the body l of the brush 1t? so that they are contiguous with perpendicular planes parallel to a perpendicular plane passing through one of the diagonal axes of the base plane; while the same row 15 of the bristle tufts i is at an acute angle to perpendicular planes parallel to a perpendicular plane passing through the opposite diagonal axis of the base plane.
Examination of FlG. l of the drawing will show that the planes of contiguity of row 14 and row l5 of the bristle tufts d are parallel to a perpendicular plane passing through the diagonal axis A-A. The bristle tufts 4 in row 1d point in the direction of the intersection of the diagonal axes A-A' and B-B', while the bristle tufts i in row l5 point away from the direction of the intersection of the diagonal axes A-A and B-B.
Further examination of FIG. 1 of the drawing, will show that the bristle tufts 4 in row l and row 17 have planes of contiguity parallel to a perpendicular plane passing through diagonal axis B-|B'; and the bristle tufts d in row lo and row i7 are at an acute angle to perpendicular planes parallel to a perpendicular plane passing through the diagonal axis A-A. The bristle tufts 4- in row lo point in the direction of the intersection of the diagonal aires A-A and B-B, and the bristle tufts 4 in row i7 point away from the intersection of the diagonal axes A-A and B-B'. The next four rows of bristle tufts 4i, and succeeding rows of four bristle tufts are arranged in a similar manner. Thus, it can be readily seen that each two rows of bristle tufts l are alternately contiguous to or at an acute angle to perpendicularV planes parallel to perpendicular planes passing through either of the two diagonal axes of the body i3 of the brush lil.
tReferring again to FIG. l of the drawing, it is to be noted, for example, that if the brush is moved along a line parallel to the diagonal axis A-'A and in the direction of A, bristle tufts 4 in row 15 will gouge or lift the material being brushed while bristle tufts 4 in row 14 will sweep or push down the material being brushed. If the `brush l@ is moved along this line in the direction of A', the bristle tufts 4 in row 14 will gouge or lift the material being brushed and the bristle. tufts 4 .in row 15 will sweep to push down the material being brushed. If the brush 14B is moved along the line parallel t'o the diagonal axis B--BQ and in the direc-tion of B, the ybristle 'tufts'4 in row 16 will gouge or the material being brushed and the bristle tufts .4 in row 1.7 will sweep or push down the material being brushed. 'If the brush 1l) is moved along this line in the direction 'of B', the bristle 'tufts 4 vin row 17 will sweep or gouge vor `lift the material being brushed and the bristle tufts 4 in row 16 will sweep or push'down the materialbeing brushed.
Thus, upon operating the brush 10 in the direction `of one of the diagonal 'axes will cusefcertain bristle tufts 4 to gouge or lift the material being brushed, while the adjacent bristle tu'fts `sweep the material being brushed.
The gouging or lifting action of certain bristle tufts 4 of the lbrush 10 have an action of 'such nature that the pressure necessary for brushing a Asurface .is greatly lessened, thereby reducing the tendency toward 'crinkling'and Vdeforming of the bristles. This reduced pressure on the bristles also has the desirable result of Vgreatly lengthening the life vof the bristles and the'brush 10.
The gouging or lifting action lof certain bristle tufts 4 has no damaging elfect on thematerial being brushed due to the fact that adjacent bristle tufts 14 have a 'counter action of sweeping or pushing down the material lifted.
It is to be particularly noted that the bristle tufts can be arranged atan vacute angle to the body 13 of the 'brush 10h-respective of the shape fand/'or contour ofthe surface thereof. It'isalso to be noted that the ibase 13 of the brush 1u can be formed of wood, .plastic or metal, while the bristles forming the bristle tufts 4 can be formed of nylon, hair, wire or the like.
.Referring now -to FIGS. 4, 5, and '6 of therdrawing, there is illustrated a preferred 'embodiment 'of a brush l1 comprising 'this invention. This embodiment 'of the brush 1-1 can be used eiectivelyto clean cables or tubing used for supporting hanging bridges or .the like.
This brush 11 consists of vtv'v'substantially curved 'sections 36 and 3S which are `arranged to be connected together by a hinge adjusting device 12. Each curved section 36 or 3S has at least two tingerseach 32 and 34, respectively, for vpivotally connecting 'one section to the other by a hinge pin 30 which passes through the iingers 32 and 34.
The adjusting devices 12 consists of an adjusting screw 28 having ahandle "1 at yone end `for moving the adjusting screw. Suitable block members 59 and'SZ are provided on 'each curved section '36 and, respectively, and are attached `thereto T'by screws. These block members 50 and 52 support the adjusting screw 28, las shown. Block'member Sllhas a cavity`22 provided therein to contain a collar 20 formed on t'ne adjusting screw 2-8` near the end of the handle 1S. The purpose of this collar 29 is to preventexcessive movement of the screw device.
A cavity 54 is also provided in block 5-2 for .receiving a ball 24 having va threaded lhole 26 provided therein for receiving the end ofthe adjusting screw .2lb opposite the handle end thereof. A n I j Rows of bristle V4tufts 4i), '-'arrange'd as previously 'described, are mounted in'apertures'inthe'curved (cylindrical) rsurfaces of sections dand 38.' Y
