Angeles, Calif. Filed Mar. 6, 3.9352, Ser. No. 177,8@ 2 Claims. (Cl. .l5-ldd) This invention relates to devices for removing lint, dust, and the like from fabric surfaces such as clothing, of the type utilizing a roller having an adhesive peripheral face to which the lint, dust etc. will adhere as the device is rolled over the fabric surface. The invention relates particularly to such a device wherein the roller is cornposed of a length of expendable adhesive-coated tape rolled upon itself in a tubular roll having a generally cylindrical peripheral surface on which pressure sensitive adhesive coating is exposed to provide the lint-gathering surface of the roller; and in which, when such surface has become fouled with foreign particles adhering thereto7 the length of tape providing the outer surface can be stripped off and severed from the roll, leaving a fresh adhesive peripheral surface on the roll. The invention is concerned particularly with the problem of severing the stripped length of tape from the roll and especially with the problem of loosening the end of the tape where previously severed, to start the stripping operation.

ln such a cleaning device, where the take is torn or cut transversely and the end of the tape remaining on the roll is adhered to the adhesive surface beneath it with the raw edge thereof exposed, it is quite difficult to again raise the end of the tape from the roll to which it has become rmly united by repeated rolling of the roll against surfaces being cleaned. The common method of doing this is to pick at the raw edge with the fingernails, raising a portion thereof and then attempting to raise the remainder of the severed end by pulling it away from the roll. This commonly results in splitting the end of the tape, which greatly increases the difficulty of loosening a full-width portion of the tape from the roll.

As a solution to this diiculty, the general object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive roller type cleaning device having a holder which is provided with a severing edge spanning the length of the roll in closely spaced relation thereto, to which the stripped length of tape can be anchored while the roll is rotated to apply tension to a short length of the tape extending tangentially from the severing edge to the line of adhesion of the tape to the roll, the tension being increased until it is sulcient to sever the tape against the severing edge, thus leaving a short edge of loosened tape projecting from the peripheral surface of the roll, free of adhesive attachment thereto. ln the use of the invention, this loosened end portion of the tape is doubled back upon the continuation thereof remainirn7 attached to the roll, thereby providing, as the end portion of the tape on the roll periphery, a folded tab extending the full length of the roll, with the end of the tape defined by a fold rather than by a raw edge. This reinforces the end of the tape Sulliciently to effectively prevent spreading thereof when the tab is lifted for a subsequent stripping operation; it doules the thickness of the end of the tape; and it provides an end which can be readily engaged bythe nger nail and lifted away from the adhesive surface or" the roll to which it is adhered.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide such a device wherein the severing edge is formed at a longitudinal margin of a blade which provides, adjacent said severing edge, a platform against which the tape can be pressed to anchor the tape during the severing operation.

A further object is to provide such a device wherein the Sept. l5, i954 severing edge is disposed in spaced relation to the periphery of the roll such as to leave a loosened narrow strip of tape remaining attached to the roll and spanning the width thereof, which strip is suiilciently long to provide a satisfactory reinforcing tab.

ln a preferred form, the invention is embodied in a novel, simple and most effective holder comprising a narrow yoke with two relatively long arms integrally joined by a relatively short bridge, one of the arms being a shaft on which the roller is journalled and the other arm providing a support for the severing blade.

A further object is to provide a device of the type described, wherein a tubular roll of adhesive tape is provided with end members in the form of discs of yieldable plastic material each having a flanged rim received in a respective end of the roll and retained by frictional engagement within the roll, and each having a central aperture providing a bearing in which a shaft of the holder is engaged, for rotatably supporting the roll. More specifically, the invention provides in this respect, for detachably coupling the roll end members to the shaft, and for removable attachment of the end members to the tubular roll.

General Description of Invention Referring now to the drawings in detail:

The preferred form in which the invention may be embodied is shown -in FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein the device comprises, in general, a holder A having a handle 20, a narrow, deep yoke portion 21 embodying arms 22 and 23 integrally joined by a radial bridge 2d, and a severing blade 25 mounted on the arm 23; and a roller B consisting of a tape roll 26 and a pair of end members 27 journalled upon a shift constituted by the yoke arm 22.

As shown in FIG. 6, a loosened portion of the tape of roll 26, when draped over the blade 2S, will have a web portion thereof extending tangentially between the roll 26 and the blade, the direction of winding of the tape on the roll 26 being such, with relation to the blade 25, that as the roll 26 is rotated in the direction (indicated by arrow 28) for pulling the tangential portion of the tape taut against the cutting edge of blade 25, the tension set up in the tape will tend to wind the tape more tightly around the roll so that the tension may be increased to whatever extent necessary to effect severance, regardless of whether a progressive shearing action is employed or not.

FIG. 8 shows a slightly modified arrangement of the structure shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein the tape may be wound in the opposite direction on the roll 26a so that, as the roll is rotated in the direction to pull the tape taut against the blade 25, the tangential portion of tape extending between the blade and its point of attachment to the roll will be doubled back upon itself to automatically produce a tab adhering to the roll surface, and severance will occur when severing tension equals the force of adherence. of the tape to the roll.

A modified form of holder A', FIGS. 9-12, is in the form of a broad shallow yoke comprising a bridge 31) and a pair of arms 31 at the ends thereof, respective trunnions 32 being attached to the ends of arms 31 and being journalled in respective end members 27 of roll B. An integral portion or portions of bridge 30 provides one or more severing edges and adjoining platforms for anchoring the stripped section of tape.

Another modified form of holder A, FIGS. 13-15, is likewise in the form of a broad, shallow yoke having a bridge consisting of a blade 3!" and arms 31" terminating in integral trunnions on which the respective end members 27 of roll B are journalled.

Detailed Description In the preferred form, FIGS. 1 and 2, the holder A is formed integrally from a single length of heavy wire or metal rod, the handle 2l) being in the form of a loop comprising respective side members 35, 36 joined by a web 37 defining the free end of the handle. Arm 23 is in two aligned sections 38 and 39 respectively, joined by integral bends 4t?, 41 respectively to the handle members 35, 36 respectively, the arm section 38 being a terminal portion of the rod and the arm section 39 being an offset portion extending between the handle member 36 and the end bridge 2.4, to which arm section 39 is joined by an integral bend 42. Bridge 24 is joined -to shaft 22 by an integral bend 43, which is a right angle bend. Bend 42 is slightly obtuse, and arm 23 correspondingly diverges at a small acute angle with respect to the opposed surface of roll 26.

The shaft 22 constitutes an end portion of the rod which forms the holder, and its free end is upset to provide an enlarged head 44 having an annular retainer shoulder 45 at its base adjoining the shaft 22, for positioning engagement against the roller end member 27 through which the free end of shaft 22 projects. Head 44 is generally conical or pointed (with a rounded, blunt point as illustrated) for piloting entry into a central aperture 46 which is provided in each of the end members 27, and for a wedging action for momentarily spreading the aperture 46 so that the head 44 can be forced through the end member 27 during an assembly operation. Shoulder 45 is frustoconical to facilitate withdrawal of the head.

Inroller B, each of the end members 27 is of molded flexible plastic material, molderately soft yet sufficiently stiff and firm to be definitely form-retaining in the assembled device during a rolling operation in which light pressure is appliedy through the end members to the roll 26 as it is rolled against a fabric surface. Each end member 27 comprises a hub portion 48 having the bearing aperture 46 in its center, a lat annular web or dise 49 in the center of which the hub 48 is formed as a dished or axially offset portion,l and a rim 50 which is slightly frusto-conical, diverging from true cylindrical shape by a taper subtending a small acute angle with reference to the axis of aperture 46 normal to the plane of web 49, and terminating in a low flange 51 for end-positioning engagement against the respective end of roll 26. The frustoconical peripheral contour of rim 5t? facilitates insertion of the end members 27 into the roll 26 and the wedging engagement of the rim, adjacent its larger outer end, within the roll in frictional retaining engagement therewith.

Roll 26 comprises a length of tape 54 (of kraft paper or other sheet material of equivalent tear-strength) having one face covered with a coating 55 of strongly adherent pressure sensitive adhesive which provides the peripheral operating surface of the roll. Tape 54 is wrapped around a mandrel 56 consisting of a thin walled tube of cardboard or the like, in a plurality of spiral turns, each underlying turn being adapted to be exposed for service upon stripping olf and detaching a peripheral turn that has become fouled with accumulated foreign particles.

Blade 25 is of stamped sheet metal construction, comprising platform and severing knife portions 6&1 and 61 respectively, both extending the full length of the blade, joined to one another by an integral bend and subtending an obtuse dihedral angle which may be in the neighborhood of degrees. Platform 60 is spot welded (as at 62) to the holder yoke arm 23 and is thus disposed in the common plane of handle 20 and arm 23 at the upper sides thereof. Knife 61 projects upwardly and forwardly toward the periphery of roll 26 in generally tangent relation thereto. The free edge of knife 61, opposed to the roller B, is provided with cutting teeth 63, preferably of triangular form, having sharp points for piercing the tape.

Bends 4G, 41 are butt-welded to one another at their areas of tangent contact, thus bracing the handle 2t). The spot welds 62 preferably include a pair of welded spots near the bends 4t?, 41, whereby the blade 2S adds further bracing to the joint between the handle and the yoke 21, and stiifens the arm 23 against bowing toward the roll 26 when tension is applied between the roll and the severing knife 61.

The modified holder A of FIGS. 9, 10, is of stamped sheet metal construction, the bridge 36 being in the form of a flat plate with a wide longitudinal slot bounded by a pair of straight platform-blades 606 having respective straight rows of cutting teeth 63]; formed along their inner margins. Alternatively, the cutting teeth 63h could be formed along the outer margins of blades tib, and in either case, only a single row of cutting teeth formed on one of the blades could be utilized.

The blades 6% are integrally joined at their ends by cross webs 65, to which the arms 31 are joined by integral bends such that the arms 31 subtend right dihedral angles with the plane of bridge 30. In end elevation, the arms 31 (FIG. 11) are preferably of triangular shape, with rounded apex portions 66 to which are joined (as by buttwelding) the outer ends of trunnions 32. On their inner ends, trunnions 32 have heads 44 corresponding to the heads 44 of FIG. 1.

Each of the arms 31 is embossed with a shallow dimple 67 which is concave in the outer face of the arm. The dimples 67 provide finger-hold recesses to facilitate gripping the holder A' when the device is being operated.

The roller B of FIGS, 9-12 may be identical in construction with the roller B of FIG. 1.

The modified holder A of FIGS. 13-15 is formed of a single length of metal rod or heavy wire, the blade 30" being fabricated by a swaging or forging operation 1n which the central portion of the wire blank is flattened to a thin wedge section shown in FIG. 15, in which cutting teeth 63 are formed in the thinner edge thereof. '.l`he two end portions of the blank are formed by bendlng in a common direction away from the plane of blade '30 to provide the arms 31" on the ends of which are integral upset heads 44 corresponding to the head 44 of FIG. 1. The roller B is preferably the same as the roller B of FIG. 1.

Instead of being of wedge shaped cross-section with a single row of teeth 63 at its thinner edge, the blade B" can be made of uniform thickness and provided with a row of cutting teeth along both longitudinal edges thereof, so that the tape can be selectively severed against either edge of the blade.

Operation The roller of FIGS. 1, 2 is provided with a fresh lintcollecting surface in a manner illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. It may be assumed that a reinforcing tab 70 (FIG. 7) exists on the roll 26 as the result of folding back the adhesive face of a narrow transverse strip at the end of the tape against an underlying adhesive face of the roller, and that the end of the tape (with reference to the adhesive surface of the roll) is defined by the fold 71 joining the folded back portion to the continuation thereof to which it is adhered. The fold 71 will have a rounded approximately semi-cylindrical surface, delining beneath it a slight crevice into which the fingernail can be inserted. In any event, the fold 71 will define an end surface of twice the thickness of the tape, and which cannot be torn when pried against by the finger nail. Thus, it becomes relatively easy (as compared to the lifting of a raw edge) to pry the end of the tape away from the underlying adhesive surface of the roll. The foldedover strip of tab 70, tightly adhering to the underlying portion of the tape, will reinforce the end of the tape against any possibility of its being split as it is being pried loose from the roll.

The outer face of tab 70 is a continuation of the back surface of the tape, without adhesive coating, and thus will not apply adhesive to the finger tips during the prying operation.

When the tab end of the tape has been disengaged from the roll, it is grasped firmly between the fingers, and a pull is applied to the tape to strip the outer turn thereof free from the roll 26. The tab 7G reinforces the end of the tape, transmitting the pull throughout its width, and avoiding splitting or tearing olf a section of the tape while this pull is being applied. This step of operation is illustrated in FIG. 3, the stripped length of tape being indicated at 72.

In the next step, the stripped end portion of the tape is swung over against the platform 60 and into contact with the cutting teeth 63. Where the tape is rolled in the direction shown in FIG. 6, the adhesive face of the tape will be brought into contact with the platform 60. Referring now to FIG. 4, a narrow transverse strip of tape, extending between the severing edge and the roll, is loosened by rotating the roll in the direction indicated at 73, and is doubled back upon the continuation thereof which remains adhering to the roll. In this intermediate step of operation, the roll 26 is held in one hand while the lingers of the other hand are utilized to press the tape iirmly against the platform 6i).

Referring now to FIG. 5, lthe roll 26 is then rotated in the reverse direction, indicated by arrow 28, reversing the position of the loosened strip 74 from upward tangency to downward tangency to the roll periphery. This is more clearly shown in FIG. 6. As torque is applied to the roll in the direction 28, the tangent strip 74 will be drawn tightly against the cutting teeth 63. Tension in the tangent strip 74 will be at a maximum at that end of severing knife 61 which is the closest to the roll and where the width of the tangent strip is narrowest. When the tension is increased to a suiiicient degree, severance will commence at this end of the blade 61 and will progress along the length of the blade to the opposite end, thus severing the tape across its width with a shearing or progressive cutting action.

The tangent portion 74 will remain attached to the roll along the line of tangent contact, but free of adhesive attachment beyond that line. This free end portion of the tape is then folded back against the roll at the line of tangency to provide the tab 70 and the fold 71 of FIG. 7. This is readily preformed by drawing the ngers across the loosened end portion of the tape in the direction indicated by arrow 75 of FIG. 7, and the tab may then be pressed down into rm adhesive attachment to the roll.

The width of the tab thus formed will normally be approximately a quarter inch, and for this width there will be a gap in the adhesive surface of the roll. However, this does not seriously reduce ythe eiectiveness of the roll in collecting lint etc.

IG. S illustrates the automatic formation of a tab 70 where the direction of winding of the roll is reversed from that shown in FIGS. 1 5. To attain this arrangement is only necessary to insert the roll in to the holder in a position reversed end-to-end with respect to that of FIGS. 1-6 The operation of loosening the end of the fouled outer turn of the tape and of stripping this outer turn away from adhesive attachment to the roll is the same as that shown in FIG. 3 and described above. The step of preliminary reverse rotation of the roll shown in FIG. 4, for loosening the narrow tangent strip 74, however, is not necessary. Instead, the subsequent operation of pressing the stripped length of tape against platform B with the thumb of one h-and, to anchor the tape to the severing blade, proceeds immediately after the stripping step, and the roll 26a is then rotated in the direction 2S causing a tab portion 7d to be automatically folded back upon the roll, with the adhesive face of tab portion 7h gradually approaching the opposed adhesive face of the adjoining portion of tape still adhering to the roll. The line of fold between the tab portion 7G and the roll will move along the surface of the roll as the latter continues to rotate in the direction 28, until the opposed adhesive faces of tab portion and the underlying adjacent portion of the tape, approaching one another, establish contact and bonding union with one another. From that point, the tab portion '7f3' can no longer slip circumferentially along the periphery of roll 26a, and the combined adhesion of tab portion 70 to the underlying attached portion of the tape and of the latter portion against the body of the roll will be sufficient to establish in the tab portion 70 the tension necessary to eifect severance of the latter from the stripped section of tape anchored against platform 66'.

The tape is anchored to the platform 65 by pressing downwardly with `the thumb of the hand which holds the handle 2i), as shown in FIG. 5. The anchorage of the tape to platform 66 is facilitated by the adhesive attachment of the tape to the downwardly pressing thumb of the operator. Thus, although the non-adhesive back surface of the tape is in Contact with the platform, tape can be effectively held by the engagement of the thumb against its adhesive face.

As the tab portion 76 is severed, a substantial portion of its width will be already tightly adhered to the roll, and the remaining area thereof will automatically come into contact and adhesive attachment with the roll upon subsequent handling. Thus, the tab is, lin effect, automatically formed.

The devices of FIGS. 9-12 is operated in substantially the same manner as the forms of the invention described above, with the exception that the tab-forming operation of either FIG. 6 or FIG. 8 can be selectively utilized without any change in the relative position of holder and roll, simply by selecting one or the other of the cutting edges 63h. For example, where the cutting edge shown in FIG. l2 is selected, the tab formation -as illustrated in FIG. 12 corresponds to that of FIG. 6, whereas the tab formation shown in FIG. 11 (utilizing the opposite cutting edge) corresponds -to that of FIG. 8.
