HAIR-CLEANING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 504,348,dated. September 5, 1893.

7 Application filed October 20, 1892- Serial No. 4.49.483- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRIDOLIN HALL, a subject of the Grand Duke of Baden, residing at Donaueschingen, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, in the German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair- Gleaning Machines, of which the following isa specification.

Hair and bristles have, until the present time, been cleaned in a dry manner, and when performed in this manner the operation has proved very disagreeable from the dust arising therefrom, so that workmen could be obtained only at a high price. These disadvantages are obviated by the present invention,

hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1, is a side elevation of the machine, partly in section. Fig. 2, is a top view of the same. Fig. 3, is a section through the arms a and g.

a represents a round wooden tub in which the hair to be sorted and cleaned is placed, after it has been filled with fresh water which is renewed constantly by a pump or other suitable means. In this tub revolves a drum on which are a number of radially arranged arms or rounds c, bymeans of which the hair in the Water is properly stirred. This drum is mounted on a shaft1',journaled in the frame is, connected by gear wheels to any source of power. The hair hangs itself onto the arms and by this means is drawn through the clear water, until it hangs clean on the arms in loose bundles, as the continued movement of the arms causes them to act as lifting levers. On the second shaft e, journaled in the arms Z, by which it can be moved backward and forward, is secured a smaller drum f, on which also are drum will pass .between two arms or projections of the small drum, see Fig. 3. As both drums move toward the outside in the direction of the arrows, the hair which hangs upon the arms of the larger drum'is taken off upon the arms of the smaller drum and is deposited into the reservoir which is divided into a series of compartments h, from which the requisite quantity may be taken as desired.

What I claim 1. A hair cleaning machine comprising a tub or receptacle, a drum provided with a series of arms rotating in said receptacle, a supplemental drum mounted upon pivoted supporting arms and provided with a series of pairs of arms for removing the hair from the main drum, and a receiving reservoir, substantially as described.

2. ln combinationwith the tub or receptacle, the drum rotating therein provided with aseries of rounds or arms, the supplemental drum carrying a series of pairs of arms semicircular in cross section with their fiat faces facing and adapted to pass in close proximity to the arms of the main drum, to remove the hair therefrom, and a compartment adapted to receive the hair from the supplemental drum, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.

FRIDOLIN HALL.
