APPARATUS FOR WASHING HAIR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,092, dated April 7, 1885.
Application filed February 23, 1884. (No model.)
' 1 impurities in the manner hereinafter set forth.
To this end this invention consists,primarily, of a tank partly filled with water and provided with a series of rotating agitators, a freshwater-supply apparatus, and a carrier-belt for removing the cleansed hair from the tank, substantially as hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of this improved hair-washing apparatus, partly broken away to more clearly show the operating parts. Fig. 2isaplan thereof, showing one of the branch pipes of the water-supply apparatus partly broken away to exhibit the perforations in the same 5 and Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section 0 on line as a: of Fig. 2.
The tank A, which may be of any suitable construction and capacity, is partly filled with water, and is provided with a discharge-pipe, or, having a cut-off, a, and an overflow orifice or pipe, (1 Arranged within the tank A, a suitable distance from each end, and partly submerged therein, are a number of agitators, B, each consisting, preferably, of a cylinder mounted upon a shaft, b, one end of which is journaled in bearings b, secured within and to one side of the tank A, and the other end pass ing through the opposite side of said tank and receivingabevel-gear,c. The agitators B are further provided with beater-arms b disposed 5 radially thereon, as clearly shown in the drawings. The bevel-gears c of the agitators B mesh with similar gears,c,secured on the shaft 0, disposed at right angles to the agitatorshafts b, and suitably held in journals attached to the tank. Motion may be communicated to shaft 0 through the band-wheel D, secured to said shaft.
E represents the water-supply pipe,arranged for a part of its length 'parallel with the tank and above the series of agitators B, as shown in Fig. 2, and provided with a cut-off valve, 0, and a number of branch pipes, F, two only being shown. These branch pipes extend from either side of the main pipe at right angles thereto and above and parallel with the agitators B, preferably one for each agitator, and are provided with anumber of orifices, f, whereby small jets of water will be thrown upon the agitators to cleanse the same as they rotate upon their axes. The branch pipes F rest upon suitable supports, f, which are fastened to the tank A.
G is the carrier or belt running over the upper pulley, H, whose shaft is supported in the hangers h and receives a pulley, h, through which motion is communicated to the belt G, and over the loose pulley I, arranged within the tank A, and partly submerged, said pulley having its shaft secured in bearings '5, attached to the sides of said tank. This carrier or belt G is provided with a number of carrying arms or fingers,g,of any preferred design or construction. The tank A is provided with awire screen, J, (shown in Fig. 1,) disposed at a suitable distance from the bottom of said tank to prevent hair from falling to said bottom while permitting the free passage therethrough of dirt and other impurities. After the tank is partially filled with water, the agitators and belt are put in motion, the cut-off valve is opened, and a quantity of hair is placed in the rear end of the tank, or that farthest removed from the carrying-belt G.
The operation of my improved apparatus is as follows: The agitators B rotating in the same direction successively operate upon and force the hair toward the carrier-belt. The pew forated branch pipes F continually discharge jets of water upon the rotating agitators to cleanse the same, and the belt being carried below thesurface of the water in the tank, the arms or fingers g thereon collect the hair in the water found in the track of said fingers and carry it up over the pulley H,when it falls in a pile to the floor below. In the meantime the screen J, while permitting dirt and other impurities to pass to the bottom and settle,
arrests thehair and keeps it underthe influence of the agitators until the same is brought 5 in the track of the belt G, when it is carried from the tank and discharged, as stated. The screen J also serves more or less as a barrier to prevent the varied currents of water induced by the rotation of the agitators from acting on and disturbing the accumulated impurities in the bottom of the tank. The overflow-orifice a maintains the water in the tank at a given height, and by means of thedischarge-pipe a the contained water may be I 5 discharged from the tank.
WVhat is claimed is purpose set forth.
