HENRY H. FORSYTH, JR., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
BEATER FOR RAILWAY-CAR SEAT S.
SPECIFICATION forming of Letters Patent No. 500,059, dated June 20, 1893.
Application filed March 8, 1892.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY H. FORSYTH, Jr., of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Beaters for Railway- Car Seats, 850., of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, referenge being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 shows in plan view a finished beater embodying the most desirable form of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view, showing on a smaller scale the beater-head without the flexible covering the place of attachment of the head to the sheath being shown in section. Fig. 3 is a View on a larger scale in section on the line III-III of Fig. 1.
The object of my invention is to provide a heater for railway car seats, &c., which shall avoid the difficulties incident to prior'beaters, and shall be strong, durable, efficient and non-destructive in its action on the fabrics beaten thereby.
The items in which my invention consists are summarized in the claims.
The beater which I am about to describe embodies what I consider to be the most desirable form of my invention, but I wish it to be understood that within the scope of the several claims the construction may be modified in various particulars and that each claim is unlimited by qualifications and conditions not expressed therein, but peculiar to other claims. I also disclaim the construction herein described when used for any other purpose than as a beater for fabrics, cushions, 850., since they are especially applicable .to such use, and when so used perform peculiar functions. hen I use the word beater I intend therefore to refer solely to beaters of this description. The word wire as used herein is not limited to drawn wire, but includes also metal strips or rods of any manufacture or form.
Referring now to the drawings, in which Fig.1 shows the metal frame-work of the beater-head enwrapped with leather strips, 2 represents the continuous marginal loop, made preferably of wire and of curved outline.- The inner bracing strips consist preferably of a continuous piece ofwire'3, 3, looped so as to extend across the marginal loop near the outer Serial No. 424,126. (No model.)
end folded around the same at 4, 4, thence extending rearwardly to the back portion of the marginal loop, folded again around it at points 5, 5, and thence extending inwardly to a point 6, where the ends are twisted together at 7. The ends of the wire 3 are twisted together with the ends of the loop 2 to form a shank 8, which is inserted in a sheath 9, preferably consisting of a piece of wood. The sides of the piece 3 are preferably arched inwardly at 10,10, and at the points of crossing of the parts 2, and 3, I prefer to enwrap them with wire 11, (Fig. 2,) which holds these parts firmly together and prevents possibility of their slipping or displacement. The parts 2 and 3 are enwrapped by a strip of flexible material, preferably leather, and strips 12 extend across the frame thus constituted and afford with the loops a substantial beating surface.
In making the beater-head I prefer to shape first the continuous loop 3 and to twist its ends partially together, then to bend the part 2into loop form, interweave it through the loop 3, and twist the ends of these two parts together to form the shank 8. The head is then compressed so as to bind the wires to-- gether at their crossing points, the binding ably by screwing it upon previously formed screw-threaded portions, or these parts may be made of soft wood, so that the spring when screwed on may form or compress a thread. By thus attaching these parts a firm, strong connection is made, and by reason of the compressing action of the inclosing spring, they cannot be separated without the use of spe cial appliances. The rigid attachment of the spring at each end prevents lateral fiexure except at the intermediate part of the spring, and affords a remarkably substantial construction, enabling the beater to be used with excellent eifect, a resultwhich would not be aiforded by the construction illustrated in the drawings are of material importance.
The advantages of my improvement will be appreciated by those having occasion to use the same. The beater-head is strong, and is so braced and strengthened by the interior wires that it will endure long continued use The inner loop or brace, 4
without breaking. being attached to the marginal loop,braces the same and prevents its elongation and distortion. The beater is of convenient weight, and as all parts of the frame are in substantially the same plane, they act conjointly in beating. The presence of the spring 14, by giv-' ing elasticity and flexibility to the beater-j head, prevents crystallization of the wires, and I thus removes a fruitful cause of breakage. The-flexible or soft covering inclosing thef wires of the head enables the beater to be; used without cutting or injuring the lnostj delicate fabric.
I claim as my invention- 1. A beater for railway car-seats, having a% handle and a head which comprises a continuous marginal metal loop, and an inner; brace situate substantially in the same plane, attached to the marginal loop, and exerting' on the latter a bracing action to resist itsf elongation, said metal loop and inner brace being twisted together at the end to form a common handle-shank; substantially as described.
2. A beater for railway car-seats, having a handle and a head which comprises a continuous marginal covered metal loop, and an inner bracing loop situate in substantially the same plane with the marginal loop, interwoven therewith, and attached thereto at the points of crossing; substantially as and for the purposes described. I
3. A beater for railwaycar-seats, having a handle and a head which comprises a-continuous marginal metal loop, and an inner bracingloop situate in substantially the same plane with the marginal loop, interwoven therewith, and attachedthereto at the points of crossing, the ends of the two loops being united to form a shank; substantially as and for the purposes described. 1
4':- A beater for railway car seats, having a head comprising a metal loop, a flexible sheath or covering therefor, and flexible cross strips;
substantially as and for the purposes described. r
5. A beater-head for railway carseats, &c.,
comprising a flat open metallic frame work, 1 having a flexible sheathing; substantially as,
and for the purposes described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of February, 1892.
HENRY H. FORSYTH, JR. In presence of R. C. CoLE, THOMAS W. BAKEWELL.
