7 '0 all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, RALPH OLLEO, a.res1- dent of the borough of Queens, in the city,

county, and State of New York, have in vented a certain new and useful Improvement in Sanitary Beating-Machines, of which the following is a true and exact description, reference being had to the drawin s, which form a part thereof.

his invention relates to sanitary beating machines adapted for beating furs. skins, robes, cloaks or any material within the limits of its size that requires beatingfor the purpose of cleaning or to revive the appearance of the material.

It is my purpose, broadly' speaking, to provide a machine of the type named wherein the beating elements in their operation will efi'ectively simulate hand beating by producing the essential snap to the blows of the elements, wherein the operation of beating will be thoroughly sanitary in that the workman is protected against inhaling the dust and dirt'which is beaten from the material. wherein the workman will be protected against'injury, and wherein the material being operated upon will always be in plain view of the workman.

It is my further purpose to provlde a beating machine embodying an improved construction which will enable the blows of the heating elements to be delicately adjusted according to the strength and body of the material being operated upon.

It is also my purpose to provide a machine of the character named which will be relatively simple in construction. easily controlled and adjusted. and strong and durable in use. a

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists inthe details of con-' struction and in the arrangement and combination of'parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the-appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying draw ings wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts 111 the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a beating machine constructed in accordance with my invention;

Referring to the drawings the machine is shown as comprising a base-20 from which rises a column 21. This-column is hollow and substantially rectangular in cross section. One side of the column 21 is provided with an opening which is closed by a hinged door 22 whereby access to the parts of the machine mounted within the column can be readily had. This .door 22 is provided with an extension 23 on its upper end which constitutes a closure for a housing 24 at the top of the column. Bolted to the top of the column 21 is a casing 25 in which certain parts section on the line 77 a section on the line 11-11 of Specification of Reissued Letters Patent. Reissued Feb. 18, 1919.

Mounted in the member 27 is a bracket 30 in which s i-o atabl m mes a han 31, havi g xed thereon a beveled gear 32. Rotatably mounted, on the bracket 30 atright angles to the shaft 31 is another shaft ,whichlias fixed thereon a beveled gear 34 in mesh with t-hegear 32. Also fixed on thegforwardend of the shaft 33 isu'a suctio fan 35,; The shaft3l p'ro of the inember27 {and belt wheel 36 disposed within a housing 37 mounted on the side of I Hinged to: the forward end of the member 27 adapted to be swung upwardlyis a hood 38 havingan opening 39 therein which is closed by a transparent pane 40. Thlsopening 39 in conjunction with the pane 40 constitutes inner wall of.

an observation window forithe operator. Secured to the the member27 at the forward end and at the top is a reflector 41 on which i is mounted an electric; lamp 42 or any other suitable lainp. It will be noted that the reflector 41 projects into and the lamp 42' disposed in the liinitsof the hood 38.

Secured to the base 20 and the front of the column are brackets 43 connected by Y anu per rod 44, and a lower rod Adjusta 1y mounted in the upper ends of the brackets" 43 respectively are rods 46 and 'slidably and rotatably mounted on each rod 46' are grooved wheels 47 and 48. .The beating,.table of the machine is indicated generally at and comprises a top 49 from which depend front legs 50 and rear legs The front legs 50 are connected by' upper and lower rods52 and 53 respectively,

the grooved wheels 47 resting on the rod 53 while the rod 52 serves as a guide and as a means for holding the table "to the grooved wheels. Likewise the legs 51 are'connected byupper-and lower rods 54 and, respecr tively, the grooved wheels 48 resting 011 the rod 55 and rodf54 serving the same function as therod 52. It will be noted that by this construction the operator can adjust the table both forward and backward and from side to side and it will be further. noted that thetable A is disposed directly beneath thev mouth of the hood 38 and in position to receivethe direct rays of the light 42 while such rays are shielded from. the eyes of the (operator observing through the opening 39 r p y by the position is provided with a plurality parent that as asdesired, according to the size of the machine.

, is a nut 81 which adjusting ,ing 83 in the front wall ofthe column 21' and of the reflector 41, shape of theihood 38 and .the position of the lamp 42 withrespect to the opening 39,

Mounted on the base 20 is an electric motor 5 6 including a shaftv 57 which has fixedthe'reon in the housing 37 [a beltwheel '5'8 and traveling on the belt wheels 5.8 and operation of the 36 is abelt 59 whereby the motor 561 will rotate the shaft 31 to in turn rotate the suction fan 35. Mounted on the motor shaft 57 adjacent the door 22 is [a fixed frictionwheel 60, while a belt wheel 61 is rotatably. flan e of,

a friction "member 62 adapted to engage the frictignf'wheel 60 to lock the belt wheel- 61 to inou'ntedon the shaft 57. One his belt wheel 61. is constituted by said jriction wheel 60for rotation with the latter. The flange 62 is normally held out of engagement with the friction wheel 60 i by a spring63. ltlounted on the base 20 is a bracket 64' on which is pivoted an angle lever embodying arms 65 and 66, the former beingv adapted to coiiperate with a projection 67 on the belt wheel 61th force the lat- 'terlongitudinally to engage the flange v with theafriction wheel 60. Mounted on the base'of the bracket 64 beneath the arm 66 is another bracketf68 on which is rotatably mounted a pulley69. Rotatably' mounted on the rod 45 is a pedal 70 and (pivoted upon this pedal-is a spring pawl 71 adapted to cooperate with a ratchet 72 fixed on the rod 45. The pedal 70 is secured one end of a spring 74. Secured to the other end of the spring 74 is one end of a link 75 and the other end of this link is secured to, a chain 76 which latter is trainedoi 'er the pulley 69 and attached to the arnt'66. By this construction it will begage the projection 67 and force the belt wheel 61 longitudinally to engage the flange wheel. Rotatably mounted'in the casing 25 is a cam shaft 77 upon which is fixeda plurality of eccentric cams 78. In this instance three such camsare shown but it will be apmany cams may be employed rotatably and non-slidably mounted in a bearing rod 44. The outer end of the ad ustmg rod 82 has fixed thereon ahand wheel 85 whereby the rod, maybe conveniently rotated. By

84 which issuita'bly fixed on the embodies an arm 75 to which '62 with the friction wheel 60 and thus co'ri- 1 nect the belt wheel 61 with said friction this construction it will be apparent that when the rod 82 is rotated in one direction thebracket 80 will be swung rearwardly, While rotation of the rod 82 in the oppositedt rection will swing said bracket forwardly. The bracket 80 embodies arms 86 and 87 which are connected by a rod 88. Pivoted on this rod are yokes B corresponding in number to the cams 78 and including upper and lower arms 89 and 90 respectively which embrace the related cam 78.v Interposed between each cam.78 and the related'upper arm 89* is a bearing block 91, while a corresponding bearing block 92 is interposed between each cam and the related lower arm 90. It will be noted that these blocks 91 and 92 are free to slide on their respective yoke arms so as not to interfere with the swinging adjustment of the bracket 80. Pivotally mounted on the rod 88 above each yoke B is a beater stick holder 93 having a rearward extension 94 terminating in a socket 95 in which is seated one end of a spring 96. Each yokeB is. also provided with a socket 97 which receives the other end of the related spring 96. Mounted in each extension 9i is an adjusting screw 98 which operates in ing through its free end and in which the.

the socket 95 and serves as a means for varying the tension of the spring 96. Each holder 93 is provided with a recess 99 openend of a related beater stick 100 is adapted to be inserted. Each stick 100 has mounted on v the inner end thereof a ferrule 101 having a circumscribing groove forming a shoulder 102 with which a spring latch 103 is adapted to engage. said latch being mounted on the related holder 93 and operating through an opening104 in said holder. The latch 103 is provided with an inclined face 105 on its forward end which will permit of the use of a screw driver for the purpose of mbvin'g the latch to released position and 1 thereby permitting the removal of the beater stick 100 from the holder 93,'it being obvious that when a screw driver or othersuitable instru ment is forced against the face 105 the latch will be operated to released position. It will 'be noted that the action of eachspring 96 is to hold the related beater stick holder 93 against a buffer 106 carried by the related upper arm 89 of a yoke B. Mounted on the free end of each upper arm 89 and embracing the related beater stick 100 is a U-shaped guide member 107. Fixed on the shaft 77 within the housing 24 is a beltwheel 108 and traveling upon this wheel and the belt wheel 61 is a belt 109. The top 49 of the table A has mounted thereon a suitable pad 110. p i p p The operation of the machine is as follows- Assuming the motor 56 to be running and the belt wheel in the position shown in Fig.

4 the operator after raising the hood 38 will adjust the material to be beaten on the table A and properly position the table to receive the blows of the beating sticks. The hood 38 is then lowered to the position shown in Fig. 1 and further observation by y the operator of the work is obtained through between each cam and the related yoke is the same only the near cam and yokefshown in Fig. 7 will be referred. to. It will be noted that this cam 78 is in its lowest position and that as it is rotated in'the direction of the arrow it will swing the related yoke upwardly together with the-related beater stick holder 93 and beater stick 100. When the cam 78 reachesits' uppermost position and begins to descend it will be noted that it approaches the pivot rod 88 andthat therefore the descent of the yoke will be much more rapid than the ascent. By the time the beater stick 100 reaches its highest point it has gained enough momentum to cause it to whip or bend before its upward motion is fully retarded. In the meantime the yoke is already on its downward course and as the whippingtendency of the beater stick reacts on the spring 96 as does likewise the yoke B during its descent the spring becomes compressed to a greater extent and reacts on the holder 93 so as to cause said holder and the beater stick to strike downwardly in a yery sharp manner similar tohand operatioin of a beater stick. The strength of the blows imparted by the beaterstick 100 can be varied bv rotating the rod 82 and swinging the bracket 80 and the yoke carried thereby forwardly and moved away from the shaft 77 and under such conditions the length of the strokes and the strength of the blows Will be shortened and weakened respectively. It will thusbe seen that complete control ofthe beating elements is possible and that the machine can be readily adjusted to meet the requirements necessitated by the construction and texture of the material to be operated upon. 1

While I have illustrated and described one form of carrying my invention into practice it will be obvious that various tab changes in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of'parts can be resorted to without departing from the scope ofmy invention as set forth inthe appended claims It will be bserved that the table A can be adjusted without raising the hood 38.

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