REVOLVING BRUSH FOR WASHING TUMBLERS, 86C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 387,728, dated August 14, 1888.

Application filed December 16, 1887. Serial No. 258,060. (No model.)

T0 at whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES M. MUNGIVEN, of Brooklyn, in the State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Revolving Brushes for Washing Tumblers, Glasses, 850., of which the following is a specification.

It is customary to provide a tub or similar receptacle for waterin which the tumblers or glasses used for soda-water, beer, or other drinks are washed, and this tub is usually below the counter or bar.

My invention relates to a brush and the gearing for rotating the same, combined with a stand that is inverted so as to be screwed to the under side of the counter and hang down therefrom, so that a tumbler full of water can be brought up to the revolving brush for cleaning out the insideof the tumbler or glass, and the overflow will run down into the tub; and I make the hanging stand at an inclination backwardly, so as to bring the point of attachment back beneath the edge of the counter, while the brush itself is sufficiently forward to be in a convenient place. The brush is easily unscrewed and another substituted.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the Washing apparatus with a part broken away in place for use, and Fig. 2 is a front View thereof.

The counter or bar a and the tub or watervessel 12 are of ordinary character, and to the under side of the countera the hanging stand- 0 is secured by screws (1. This stand 0 is bifurcated in the upper portion, 2 and 3, that unite to the attaching-plate 4t, and the portion 5 is solid and provided with agudgeon for the reception of the bevel gear-wheelf and actuating-handle 9. There isa bow, 6, in the hanging stand c,within which is received the bevelpinion I), that gears with the bevel-wheelf, and

screw 9 into the wood at the inner end of the hole.

It will now be understood that the brush can be easily attached or detached and the size varied as desired, and when a tumbler or glass is to be washed it is dipped by one hand into the water and raised up under and around the brush as said brush is revolved by turning the wheel f with the other hand, so as to thoroughly wash out the inside of the glass, and bthe water runs and drips back into the tub The inclination of the stand and of the arbor and brush is a. great convenience, for by it the brush is brought nearer to the person and the top of the stand carried back suff1- ciently far to be securely fastened beneath the counter.

I claim as my invention 1. The hanging stand 0, provided with a plate at the top to be fastened to the under side of the counter, and a bow, 6, in combination with the bevel gear-wheelf, and handleg upon a gudgeon at the side of the stand, the bevelpinion it within the bow, the arbor k in bearings in the stand and connected to the bevelpinion,and having a screw at the lower end, and the circular brush at, having a hole in the end of its handle 1, into which the arbor passes and is screwed, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the counter a and the water-vessel b, of a hanging stand screwed at its upper end to the under side of the counso ter and inclined forwardly, a bevel gear-Wheel upon the side of the stand, and a handle for rotating the same,a bevel-pinion and arbor supported by the inclined stand with the arborextending below the stand and terminating as a screw, and the circular brush having a handle perforated longitudinally for the reception of the arbor, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 13th day of December, 1887.
