UNITED STATES .ALBERT E. WHITE, OF
ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVED BOOT-BLACKING MACHINE Specification forming part ol' Letters Patent No. 112,707, dated May 10, 1864.
To @ZZ whom, it may concern;
Be it known that 1, ALBERT E. WHITE, of Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Device for Blackingrr and Polishing Boots and Shoes; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable any 'person skilled in the art to make and "use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this speci [ica-tion, iu which- Figure 1 is a side sectional view of my invention, taken in the line v a', Fig. 2; Fig. 2, a transverse vertical section of the saine, taken in the line y y, Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre- 'lhe object of this invention is to obtain a simple device by which bootsand shoes iay be blackened and polished far more expeditiously than it canbe done by hand.
To this end the invention consists in the employment or use of two rotary brushes placed in a suitable frame and .arranged and operated substantially as hereinafter shown and described.
A, represents a base plate, on which two up rights, B B', are secured, the latter, B', being much higher than the former, B. C is a hori# zonta1shaft,which has its bearings in the upri'ghts B, B', and is allowed to turn freely therein. On this shaft there is firmly keyed a brush-wheel, D, the peripheryJ of which is of concave forni, as shown clearly in Fig. 1, and there is also placed loosely on the shaft a tube, E, which passes through the liprightB', and has a pulley, F, upon it. On this tube E there is secured a brush wheel, G, which is precisely similar to the brush-wheel D, as lshown in Fig. l. The shaft C projects Sonie distance beyond the tube E, and has upon it asrnall gtiictionwl1eel, H, with which a large wheel, I runs in contact. This Wheel I .has its axis et in the upright B', and to the i nnerside of I there is attached concen trically a pulley, J, smaller in diameter than I, and around which a belt, K, passes.
The brush-wheel G rotates with less speed than the brushwheel D, and the former is designed ibr-applying the blacking to the boot or shoe, while the latter is used for polishing the same. The two brusli-wlieels rotate in opposite directions, according to the arrangement of' the driving mechanism herein shown and described, but that `is not an essential feature, and therefore the belt K may be crossed, if desired, and both brush-wheels made to rotate in the same direction. The blacking may be applied to the brush-wheel G by-uieans of a handbrush or other means, and the wheel I, being rotated by hand, the brush-wheel G applies the blacking to the boot or shoe, the latter being on the i'oot and held underneath and over the brush-wheel, as shown in Fig. 2 in dotted and solid red outline. When the boot or shoe is properly blickened, it is applied to the brushwheel D, which,- on account of its quick rotation, speedily polishes it.
Although the diierence ot' the direction in which the two brush-wheels rotate is not essentia-l, the difference in speed is important, for if the brush-wheel G were'niade to rotate as rapidly as is necessary for thepolishing brush-wheel D, it would be liable to throw the olaeking upon the person.
Having thus described 'my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi A boot and shoe polishingr machine composed of two brush-wheels, D G, arranged to revolve relatively with different degrees of speed,.in the mannersubstantially as herein shown and described.
A. E. WHITE. Witnesses J. G.' MANLovE, EDWARD DoRR.
