The revolution of the cylinder will distribute the Water over the brushes, and any dirt or liquid adhering to the glass Will be quickly loosened. The glass is then removed and rinsed with Water, which maybe obtained f rom the discharge-pipe of the motor. Vhen the Washer becomes foul, it can be quickly removed by loosening the thumb-screw I3, and the interior can be thoroughly rinsed out Without removing the brushes.

The casing may be made of galvanized iron or other sheet metal at very 'slight cost. I have adapted the Washer for the use of brushes composedbf bristles clamped in spirally-Wound wire, and such brushes can be obtained at a very 10W cost, so that the eX- pense of renewing them is inconsiderable. On these brushes the bristles surround the Wire, and When they are attached to the sides of the casing the bristles 0n one side are fiattened out and they serve as springs to hold the brush tightly in its fastenings. The central brush can be formed by bending` one of these Wire-core brushes around a central stem, as shown.

Having described my invention,

what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

l. In a tumbler-Washer the combination with a cylindrical casing, of a central spindle fixed to one end thereof, a central brush removably connected with said spindle, and side brushes removably connected to the inner Wall of the casing, one end of each side brush being inserted in a loop and the other end in a suitable hook, substantially as described.

2. In a tumbler-Washer, the combination With the cylindrical casing rotatably mounted upon a shaft, of the central spindle and the central brush detachably mounted 0n said spindle, inwardly-projecting brackets on the interior of the casin g, side brushes, and means for attaching said side brushes to the Walls of the casing and to said inwardly-projecting brackets, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I afix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH BAILEY NESBIT.
