CARL A. SUND GREN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

SHOE-BRUSHING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 710,628, dated October 7, 1902.

Application filed July 18, 1902. Serial No. 116,054. (No model.)

T 0 n. whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL A. SUNDGREN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the countyof Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Brushing Machines; 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in a shoe-ln'ushing machine, and comprises a series of brushes flexibly joined together and mounted on a track around which they run horizontally.

The object of my invention is to construct a device of the above character that will be simple in its construction, strong and durable, and effectual in its operation.

\Vith such and other objects in View the invention is embodied in the novel parts, arrangements, and combination of parts hereinafter described, and particularly set forth in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a top plan.

Referring particularly to the drawings, 4 designates a suitable bed-plate, to which are secured standards 5. To each standard is secured a U-shaped bracket 6, and bolted or otherwise secured to the upper and lower inner ends of the same, as at 7, are guideways or tracks 8. The brushes are indicated at 9. They are flexibly joined by plates 10, secured to the adjoining ends of the same, pivot-bolts 10 passing through said plates and into each brush. A bolt 1O passes through the plates 10, and to each end of said bolt a grooved roller 11 is secured, which is adapted to run on the tracks 8. To the back of each brush is secured a guide 12 for a round belt 13,which passes over said guides and around a grooved pulley lehwhich is keyed to a vertical shaft 15, mounted in suitable pivot-bearings 16 and a bracket 17, both of which are secured to the bed-plate 4.. A driven pulley 18 is keyed to the shaft 15. Motion to this pulley is transmitted by means of a belt from any suitable source of power, which motion is communicated to the pulley 14, which in turn transmits said motion to the brushes by means of bristles of the brushes are presented inwardly,

and the track is oval-shaped to correspond substantially to the outline of a shoe. The shoe is placed in the space inclosed by the brushes and may be so manipulated as to present all sides of it in contact with the rotating brushes.

Having thus described my invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is

1. A shoe-brushing machine comprising a plurality of brushes flexibly secured together, and having belt-guides thereon, a track on which said brushes run, and a belt passing around the guides for communicating motion to said brushes, substantially as shown and described.

2. A shoe-brushing machine comprising a plurality of brushes flexiblysecured together, rollers secured to said brushes, a track on which said rollers are mounted,and means for communicating motion to said brushes, sub stantially as shown and described.

3. A shoe-brushing machine comprising a plurality of brushes flexibly secured together, rollers secured to said brushes, a track on which said rollers are mounted, belt-guides secured to the brushes, and means for communicating motion to said brushes, substantially as shown and described.

a. A shoe-brushing machine comprising a bed-plate, standards secured thereto, an endless track secured to said standards, a plurality of brushes flexibly secured together,rollers secured to the brushes and mounted on the track, belt-guides secured to the brushes, a pulleysecured in suitable bearings on the bedplate, a belt passing over said pulley and over the guides on the brushes,and means for communicating motion to said beltto run the brushes around the aforesaid track, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

CARL A. SUNDGREN.
