LORAN MINER, 0F SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
Letters Patent N 96,461, lated November 2, 1869.
IMPROVED CARPET-BEATIG- MACHINE.- I
The Seheduio referred to in these vLettera Patent and making pari; of the same.
To all whom 'it may con cern:
Be it known that I, LonAN Mision, ofthe city and county of San Francisco, Stat'eot' California, havejxlvented a Carpet-Beating Machinetaml I do hereby not allowed to remain in contactwith it at'ter the blow is given.
lt iin-ther consists in au improved'arrangement of the cams and springs, which lit'tthe whips and impel them forward, so that the machine has all the etticiency of .bami-cleaning; and tiually, the whips are operated by a peculiar' device, so that they move from one side to the other, over the sul-thee ofthe carpet, as it passes, and thus clean every portion ot'it.
lo lliure inlly illustrate my invention, reference is made to .the accompanying-drawings, and 'letters marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a ti'ont view of' the machine.
Figure 2 is a vertical section, taken transversely through fig. 1.
Figures 3 and 4 are enlarged views of parts of the machine.
A A are the .uprights of astout frame, sufficiently separated to admitthe largest carpets, and having the rollers B 1S revolving,r between them.
Over these rollers the carpet is passed, being unwouud from the lowest roller ].),so as to pass under the roller B and upward in i'ront of the whips C, and thence over the roller to be wound upon the upper roller D'.
'lhe whips maybe formed of any slender elastic rods, of metal or wood, but I prefer to use hickory, similar in shape to ordinary whip-stocks.
These whips extend nearly the whole distance between the two lrollers B which keep the carpet in position, and so nearly parallel to 'it that the whole length ofthe whips strikes the carpet as they fall. Y
The whips are fastened to arms E, in such a manner that they can he easily removed and replaced if any of them become broken.
A shaft, l", ext-ends across the frame, and supports the-arms E, so that they :nove loosely on it, and ,can vibrate a-nd also turn from side to side.
In order to keep the arms ii'om sliding along the shait, a curved notch, a, is made in the shaft F, as
. shown, at the point where each arm is supported,and
a pin, b, passes through the arm and notch, in such a manner as to allow the necessary motion, but always keeps the arm in place.
Below the shaft F is the cam-shaft G, which is driven by a pulley, H, receivinglnotion from the driv- `ing-pulleyl.
Ihe cams-J -J are firmly fastened to the shaft, and
are made broad enough to strike the lower ends ot' the arms E at all their inclinations from side to side.
In order to give Athe requisite blow at'ter the cams release the arms, stiif spripgs, K, are fastened to the back palt ot' the frame, and are connected with the arms in a suitable manner. I I prefer to make thesprings of some elastic wood, as ash, fastening them at the bottom, and connecting the upper ends with the arms E by cords or wires, as
these give a much stronger blow than any other form, and with -very little jar or noise.
In order to clean the whole surface of' the carpet, it is necessary that the whips strike every part of it, and' to do this, without multiplying whips, or running the carpet through a numberot' times,'.[ cause the whips to move slowly from side t-o side,'by means of a. series ot' guides, c c c, between which the arms vibrate.
These guides are fastened to a sliding bar, L, which A is moved back and forward at right angles to the motion of the carpet, by means of a bent level', M, and a connecting-rod, N, which is attached to aci-ank, O, `on'the wheel .1. This wheel may derive its motion directly from the driving-shaft or from the cam-shaft, as shown. t
Ihe sliding bar L is supported on a bea1n,R, which extends the entire length of the machine, and serves to.v arrest the arms E, so that the whipsl will give a strong blow by the momentum which they acquire, but their elasticity immediately withdraws them from the carpet, so that they'do not drag over and wear it while awaiting the act-ion of' the can-w. to again raise them.
In order to assist in withdrawing the whips after` theblow, and also to deaden the sound which would be made by the stroke ot' the. arms against the beam I?, it is coi/ered in front by a pad or elastic cushion, S.
A fan, or other form ot' blower, may be placed at the top of the machine, atthe point where the carpet emerges from the dust-room and passes over the roller B', and by its action prevents the dust from following the carpet ont ofthe room.
A series of brooms may also be used, moving from.
side to side, similarly to the whips, but placed outside of the dustproom.
Having thus described my invert on, What 1 claim as new, 'and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. '.I` he series of elastic Whips C, atached to the` nrnis E, nnd operated by the cams J, together with the springs K and the elastic cushion S, substantially ns :ind for thepnrposes herein described.
2.V A cnrpetbenting machine, constructed with a.
series ofwhips, having a. motion from side to side,
transversely to the direct awtion ofthe whips, substantially as herein described.
3'. `The device, `consisting of the guides c c, sliding bnr L, bent lever M, connecting-rod N, und crunk O, giving :t tmnsverse motion to the whips, substantially as herein described.
4. The device, consisting of the shaft F, with the curved groove or notch a und the pin b', passing through the nr|n,ull0wng motion in every direction without displacement, suhstnntiztil y :is herein described.
In wit-ness whereof', l have hereunto set my hand and seni.
