Definitions
- a first frame is supported by wheels and a second frame is pivotally connected at one of its ends to the first frame on the axis of rotation of those wheels. Also secured to the first frame are a rotating horizontal-axis brush and other conventional features of a sweeper with vacuum. The free end of the second frame is supported by casters. Wedges are mounted at either side and on the top of the free end of the second frame. A threaded shaft is mounted on the first frame such that it passes over those wedges and carries blocks which engage the inclined surface of the wedges.
- the blocks travel across these inclined surfaces when the shaft is rotated, since they are restrained by channels from rotation with the shaft.
- the travel of the blocks adjusts the spacing between the first and second frames to raise and lower the first frame and its equipment with respect to the surface being treated while the angular relationship between the second frame and the floor remains substantially unchanged.
- a floor treating element such as a brush or its equivalent in performing its function.
- Examples include floor scrubbers, polishers,
- control activation element such as a knob or lever
- Other mechanisms are designed with the control activation element, such as a knob or lever, located at the rear of the machine. These mechanisms are unacceptable for use in a variety of machines such as those having large bulky bags or handles. Furthermore, rear activated control mechanisms frequently necessitate the use of very sturdy and heavy control frames.
- This invention comprises generally a first frame means and a second frame means pivotally connected to it.
- a brush means is mounted on the first frame means at some distance from the pivot axis between the two frame means.
- a support means is mounted on the second frame means, also at some distance from the aforementioned pivot axis.
- An activating means is provided for activating said cam means whereby a variation can be achieved in the angular relationship between the first and second frame means.
- one object of this invention is to provide an elevation control mechanism which is simple, effective and economical in construction.
- Another object is to provide a mechanism which effectuates a uniform degree of contact between the brush means and the surface being cleaned, without the necessity of using a very heavy-duty frame.
- This invention also allows one to use casters to support the second frame means since it keeps the caster pintles generally perpendicular to the surface being cleaned.
- This invention further provides a mechanism which is adaptable for use with a side-mounted activating means, such as a knob mounted on the side of the machine rather than on its rear. Further, the cam and wedge system is utilized with a minimum of force applied to the actuation knob or handle.

- FIG. 2 shows aside view of a heavy-duty sweeper with a portion being broken away
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective of the machine with the front being broken away along Ill-Ill of FIG. 2,- and with the vacuum hose and impeller housing not shown;
- FIG. 4 shows a fragmentary elevation taken along Ill-Ill of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 5 shows an elevation of an arm end and wedge taken on line V--V of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6 shows an elevation of an arm end, wedgeand cam taken on line VI-VI of FIG. 4.
- the invention is here embodied in a heavy-duty sweeper with vacuum pick-up. Besides the conventional elements found in such an apparatus, it includes a first frame 10, (FIG. 1) a second frame 20 pivotally secured thereon, a pair of wedges 30 on the free end of second frame 20, threaded shaft 40 onfirst frame 10, a pair of blocks or cams 50 (FIG. 2) on threaded shaft 40 and a pair of channel members 60 on first frame 10.
- a first frame 10 (FIG. 1) a second frame 20 pivotally secured thereon, a pair of wedges 30 on the free end of second frame 20, threaded shaft 40 onfirst frame 10, a pair of blocks or cams 50 (FIG. 2) on threaded shaft 40 and a pair of channel members 60 on first frame 10.
- First frame 10 includes a platform 11, having sides l2-and back 13 both depending downwardly therefrom (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3). The bottom edges of sides 12 slope upwardly from front to back. Extending across the front of frame 10 is a housing 14 in which a brush 2 is mounted].
- Frame 10 can readily be fabricated in any suitable manner such as being a casting or formed from sheet material.
- each side 12 of frame 10 Rotatably attached to each side 12 of frame 10, near the rear thereof, is a large wheel 3 (FIGS. 1 and 3).
- Each axle 3a of each of said wheels 3 is secured to a side 12 and extends inwardly therefrom. It is sufficiently long that it extends through the hub of wheel 3and provides a stub shaft upon which second frame 20 is rotatably mounted.
- platform 11 Mounted on platform 11 are other conventional elements such as a motor 4, an impeller housing 5 and a vacuum hose 6 (FIGS. 1 and 2). These elements are enclosed by a cover 7.
- a handle 8 is secured to the rear of frame 10 and extends upwardly therefrom. .Mounted on handle 8 is a bag 9 which receives litter from impeller in housing 5. All of these elements (except the mounting of the second frame) cooperate in a conventional fashion and do not of themselves form of this invention.
- Second frame 20 (FIGS. 1 and 2) comprises a U-shaped member including a pair of arms 21 and a cross piece 22.
- Each arm 21 is U-shaped in cross section.
- the ends of the arms 21 are joined through cross piece 22 which is rigidly secured to both arms as by bolting or welding.
- a caster 23 is connected to each arm 21 adjacent the cross piece 22.
- the non-joined ends of arms 21 are each pivotally mounted on the inwardly extending stub shaft of axle 3a.
- Wedge members 30 can best be seen in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.
- Each includes an attachment flange 31 (FIG. 5) whereby it is rigidly secured to the end of an arm. 21 adjacent cross piece 22.
- a wall 32 extends upwardlyfrom attachment flange 31 at right angles thereto and is triangular inconfiguration (FIGS. 3 and 4).
- a flange or ramp 33 comprising an inclined plane extends outwardly from wall 32 at right angles thereto.
- Ramp 33 has an open ended slot 34 in its uppermost end to provide clearance for the hereinafter described shaft 40.
- the threaded shaft 40 shown best in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 passes through the left wall 12 of frame 10,. as viewed in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Shaft 40 passes over the wedges 30 mounted on the a part ends of arms 21. Knob 42 is fastened on that end of shaft 40 which is outside wall 12 and a washer is fixed to shaft 40 just inside of wall 12. In this fashion, shaft 40 is fixed against axial movement.
- the opposite end of shaft 40 is rotatably mounted in bracket 41 which is integrally secured to the underside of platform 11, near the right wall 12 of frame 10.
- Each of the two blocks 50 includes two flat sides 53, two ends 54, a generally flat top 55 and a rounded nose portion 52 (FIGS. 3, 4 and 6).
- a threaded opening 51 passes through block 50 between ends 54, whereby two such blocks 50 are threaded onto shaft 40.
- the blocks 50 are free to travel over the surface of ramp 33.
- the travel of right block 50 is limited by bracket 41 on one side and by a cotter key 43 or equivalent stop on the other side.
- the travel of left block 50 is limited by cotter keys 43 or equivalent stops located on either side thereof on shaft 40.
- Each of the two channels 60 includes a top 61 and side walls 62 (FIG. 6). Each channel 60 is approximately equal in length to the distance which a block 50 is free to travel. Each channel 60 is integrally mounted to the underside of platform 11 of frame as by welding top 61 thereto. Each channel 60 is located such that its side walls 62 embrace a block 50. Thus, each side wall 62 is located closely adjacent a side 53 of each block 50, such that each block 50 is restricted against rotation when shaft 40 is rotated. Rounded nose 52 of each block 50 thus always stays in contact with a ramp 33 of wedge 30.
- both first frame 10 and second frame are supported at their back ends by the large wheels 3. In effect, they are pivotally joined together through the axles 3a of wheels 3.
- the front end of second frame 20 is supported by casters 23.
- the front end of first frame 10 is supported by the front end of second frame 20 through the blocks 50 and wedges 30.
- the blocks 50 and wedges 30 form a cam means between first frame 10 and second frame 20 whereby the angle between first frame 10 and second frame 20 can be increased or decreased. Since the orientation of second frame 20 with respect to the surface being cleaned remains constant, an increase in the aforesaid angle will raise the front of first frame 10 and accordingly, brush 2 which is located on the front of first frame 10. Similarly, a decrease in the aforesaid angle will lower brush 2.
- each block 50 engages ramp 33 of a wedge member 30.
- knob 42 When knob 42 is turned, shaft 40 is rotated. However, it is fixed against axial movement.
- each block 50 When shaft 40 rotates, each block 50 is held against rotation by the side walls 62 of each channel member 60. Therefore, both blocks to move either simultaneously the same distance laterally of the machine, left or right, depending upon the direction the shaft 40 is rotated. As the blocks 50 move, they slide along ramps 33 of their respective wedges 30. Because the noses 52 are rounded, friction between the blocks 50 and the wedges 30 is minimized.
- second frame 20 is pivoted about its pivot axis, and the distance between the front of first frame 10 and the free end of second frame 20 is increased. Since second frame 20 is supported at one end on the axles 3a of wheels 3, and at the other end on casters 23, the orientation of second frame 20 with respect to the surface being cleaned remains constant. Consequently the distance between brush 2, which is located at the front of frame 10, ahead of frame 20 and at a rather substantial distance from the pivot axis between first frame 10 and second frame 20, and the surface being cleaned will be increased.
- notches 34 are cut into the uppermost ends of ramps 33 such that shaft 40 can settle into those notches 34 without engaging the wedges 30 when the blocks 50 are located at the lower ends of the ramps 33.
- arms 21 with respect to the surface being cleaned remains constant, regardless of the relative positions of cams 50 with respect to wedges 30.
- the pintles of casters 23 are mounted vertically in arms 21. This insures that the height of brush 2 with respect to the surface being cleaned will be constant regardless of whether the cleaner 1 is being moved forwardly or rearwardly. If the angular relationship of arms 21 changed with changes in the distance between the free ends of frames 10 and 20, then the pintles of casters 23 would not necessarily remain vertically oriented. Consequently, the distance between the free end of second frame 20 and the surface being cleaned would vary, depending on whether the cleaner was being moved forwardly or rearwardly. correspondingly, the elevation of the front frame 10, and of brush 2, would vary depending on the direction of travel.
- arms 21 be pivoted on the axis of rotation of wheels 3.
- this is not absolutely necessary, provided that arms 21 are sufficiently long that the change in orientation of the pintles of casters 23 varies only slightly with changes in the respective positions of blocks 50 and wedges 30. If on the other hand, the arms 21 are short, then the angular orientation of arms 21 with respect to the surface being cleaned will vary too greatly with changes in the respective positions of blocks 50 and wedges 30.
- this invention provides a unique means for controlling the degree of elevation of a brush from the surface being cleaned.
- it teaches a means whereby the degree of contact between that brush and the surface being cleaned remains constant throughout the length of the brush. Furthermore, the degree of contact between the brush and the surface being cleaned remains constant regardless of the direction in which the cleaner is traveling.
