SCRUBBlNG-IVIACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 778,427, dated December 27, 1904. Application filed February 27, 1904. Serial No. 195,647.

T0 00% whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY J OHN NoLL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scrubbing-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention has for its object to provide simple, economical, and eflicient scrubbingmachines each comprising a rotary-drive fountain-fed brush. 1

Hence said invention consistsin certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts hereinafter particularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

Figure 1 of the drawings represents a verdicates a box-like frame having a removable cover B, provided with a valance b, and a removable pan 0 is supported on lugs 0 inside the frame immediately under its cover. The

casing.

Arranged to turn in the bracket G and par titions H parallel to sides of the frame is a horizontal shaft I in miter-gear with a vertical center shaft J, for which said bracket is also provided with abearing. Supported on the shaft J to turn therewith under the outlet-pipe D of the pan 0 is a circular basin K,

having outlet-pipes L, thatextend down through the head of a circular brush M in loose central engagement with said shaft. The

brush-head normally rests upon a lower arrnular flange e ofthe shaft J, and a spiral spring N surrounds said shaft under tension between said brush-head and the basin aforesaid, the brush being rotary with its shaft within the space bounded by the ends and partitions of the frame aforesaid.

Fast on the ends of the shaft I are spurwheels P, in mesh with similar wheels Q, on spindles R, that have their bearings in the sides and partitions of the machine-frame. Traction-wheels S are also fast on the spindles R, and rubber tires 3 are preferably employed on said wheels.

The sides of the machine-frame are provided with outer studs 9, and a handleT is connected to albail U, that is loose at its ends on said studs.

The maclnne being pushed over a surface on its'wheels S, rotary motion is imparted to the brush M, that also bears on said surface under pressure of the spring N, and said machine being reversed there is ready yield of said brush in anupward direction to permit 'a shift of direction in the bend of its tufts.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

v A scrubbing-machine comprising a suitable frame mounted on wheels and provided with a handle, a horizontal shaft within the frame.

in gear-train with the wheels, a vertical shaft in gear with the shaft aforesaid, a brush rotative with the vertical shaft but movable longitudinally of the same, a pan supported'in said frame, a cock-controlled pipe depending g i i .ii

from the pan, a basin in connection with said the county of Milwaukee and State of \Visvertical shaft under the pipe aforesaid, pipes eonsin, in the presence of two witnesses. leading from the basin through the head of i 1 T s T T T r the brush, and a spring arranged between said H13} 1x1 JOUA BOLL' 5 basin and brush. Witnesses:

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I N. E. OLIPHANT, have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in R. J. BARsoH'.
