SPECIFICATION forming part f Lem-.ers Patent No. 658,527, dated september 25, 1900; Application filed November 27, 1899. Serial No. 738533. ille model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIP LAMBOY, a citidam, inthe county of Montgomery and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broom-Corn Cleaners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
, My invention has for its object to provide means for removing seeds, dirt, and all foreign matter from broom-corn, and especially to provide means for holding the broom-corn securely in position while being subjected to the action of the cleaning mechanism. This I accomplish by the means illustrated-in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is a plan view of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, showing part of the surface table broken away. Fig. 8 is a longitudinal cross-section taken on line l l of Fig. l, and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section taken on line 2 2 of Fig. l.
As illustrated in the drawings, A represents a surface table su pported upon suitable standards or legs O. The surface of the table A is shown broken away to form an opening, (indicated by the line X.) An additional opening is also shown made in the surface of the table, (indicated by the line Y.) A shaft F, extending in an oblique line, is mounted in bearing-boxes K and L, which are preferably secured to the under side of the table. The shaft F is provided with pickers f, which project above the surface of the table A. A
twisted driving-belt Q connects the outer end of the shaft F and the pulley 0', mounted on the main driving-shaft C. An endless carrying-belt D, provided with retaining-points d, (shown in Fig. 3,) is mounted on pulleys d and 6', which pulleys are supported on journals p and lm., respectively. The journal p is supported in the bearing-box P, preferably secured to the bottom of the table A, and the journal m has its bearing in the npper end of the standard M. A belt-pulley d" is also secured to the journal p and is connected by means of a driving-belt R with the pulley c', mounted upon the driving-shaft C.
An auxiliary endless carrying-belt E, pro= vided with retaining-points @,is mounted upon pulleys e' and e", which pulleys are mounted on journals m and n, respectively. The journal m is supported on the upper end of the standard M, and the journal vn is supported in the bearing-box N, preferably secured to the under side of the table A. The journal n also supports a pulley 6', which is connected with a pulley c on the -main shaft C by means of a twisted belt S. A projecting flange a extends upward f rom t-he edge of the table A and serves to guide the material in its course. A spring-bar I-I extends outward from the flange a in parallel lines at its ends, and its central portion extends in line with and over the carrying-belt E and is designed to press the broom corn on said belt. A spring-bar G, having its ends secured to the flange e, extends in line with the endless belt D andholds the material in place on the belt D.
When the machine is in operation, bunches of broom-corn are placed upon the table A atv the end where the endless carrying-belts D and F. converge toward each other and taken up by said carrying-belts and carried 'along by the retaining-points on said belts. The spring-bar H presses the material on the belt E and the bar G presses it upon the belt D. As the outer .or free end of a bunch .I of broom-corn passes along over the shaft F the pickers f thoroughly clean the same.
I do not desire to be limited to the specific construction of the several parts herein shown, as modifications of the same may be used without departing from/,my invention, and in some cases some'of the parts may be used Without the others.
In the devices heretofore used forcleaning broom-corn two cylinders or shafts provided with pickers have been used arranged one above the other obliquely to a carrying-belt.
In such construction the broom-corn is fed on the carrying-belt where it diverges most from the picker shafts O r rollers. The upper and lower rollers in such cases are used to 'support one endof the broom-corn, while the other end is supported on the carrying-belt. In my construction I dispense with the upper roller and use only a single roller or shaft provided with cleaning fingers or pickers. The
IOO
broom-corn is fed onto the carrying-belts and roller Where they converge. The auxiliary carrying-belt is arranged parallel with the shaft containing the cleaning-fingers and holds the broom-corn securely in place, be-
cause it is arranged close to the cleaning shaft A or cylinder and is enabled thereby to obtain a hold on such broom-corn close to such cleaning shaft or cylinder and at the same time the spring-bars G and H and mount the endless belts npon pulleys, which belts may he arranged to press down upon the broom-corn by spring tension and hold it securely to the carrying-belts.
What I claim is- In a broom-corn cleaner, the combination with a main carrying-belt, of a rotating shaft arranged at an incline to said main carryingbelt and provided with cleaning-fingers, an auxiliary carrying-belt arranged parallel to the axis of said rotating shaft, and provided with retaining-points, and means for operating said carrying-belts and rotating shaft, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I aflx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
PHILIP LAMBOY.
