HENRY ALBERT OLSS ON, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE BROMWELL BRUSH AND WIRE GOODS COMPANY, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO.

BRUSH-MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that .l. HENRY ALmnrr ()LssoN. a citizen of the United States, and a resident of incinnati, in the county of llamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lli'uslrMai-hines. of which the following is a full. clear. and exact description.

This invention relates to brush machines and more particularly to improved brush machines for drilling and filling brush backs or blocks simultanemisly. such as shown and described in my co-pending application filed Mar. 19. 1913. Serial No. 755,344).

The principal object of the invention is to provide an improved brush machine of this character in which the back or block sup porting members (sometimesreferred to as supporting or clamping templets or platens) may be automatically positioned so that the brush backs will be moved from hole to hole without the aid of specially cut cams.

Another object of this invention is to provide a brush machine of this character which eliminates the ditlicnlty experienced in the so called cam machines when dismantling them. which isnecessary when changing from one set of cams to another, by providing improved mechanism whereby the changing from one pattern or style of brushto another am he quickly and accurately effected by adjustment only.

A further object of the invention is to provide a machine which will be universally adjustable so that a brush with tufts driven into the blocks on more or less slant. or no slant at all. can he made on one and the same machine without the replacement of parts or cutting of eams. but simply through adjustment.

Still another object of my invention is to provide a brush machine in which the specially cut cams are eliminated, and in which it ispossible to add to or deduct from the number of holes desired in any brush pattern. increase or diminish the slant of the tufts or knots. and shift them from one location to another in the brush back, thus getting any desired arrangement or pattern simply through adjustment of the various parts of the machine.

Another object of my invention is to provide a machine which will bore holes of a uniform depth in the brush backs or blocks,

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 30, 1916. Serial No. 832,659.

when they are presented for boring and filling at various angles, and no matter how great the desired angles, either sidewise or endwise, the holes are bored in the brush back to a uniform depth without the use of cams and adjustment of parts.

All of these objects I attain through the parts, combinations of parts, and details of construction which will be more fully described in the following specification, which shows a preferred construction of amachine constructed in accordance with my invention.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side view of this improved machine. Figs. 2 and 3 are front and plan views respectively thereof. Fig. .4 is a cross section taken substantially on the line H of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section taken approximately on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a section taken approximately on the line 6-6 of Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a plan view of the brush back supporting member employed in my invention. Fig. 8 is a sectional view through one of the brush back supporting members as shown in Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a fragmentary side view of the machine illustrating the mechanism for coupling the brush back supporting members of the machine together. Fig. 10 is a lan view of part of the mechanism thereof. ig. 11 shows a diagrammatic view of the base of the brush back supporting members showing same in dotted line position. Fig. 12 is a similar view showng the same movement applied to the rocking carrying arms on said supporting member. Figs. 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 are details showing some of the different parts of said supporting members. Fig. 18 is a detail view showing how the push bars are clamped in position on the pattern drum. Fig. 19 shows a modification of push bars and engaging sliding members.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.

In the present machine two work supporting members A and B are provided, each a duplicate of.the other. Each of these members comprises a T shaped base 20 having a slot 51 in the head portion-53 thereof and slots 49 and 50 in the tail portion 52 thereof, transverse of each other, and

mounted on the tail portion 52 isa bifur lltlYlILlI grooves or rated standard '2 The side standards it seeured to the hase have projecting arms or hrarkets 23 extending laterally therefrom and rarrying rollers 27 which are mounted on the. ends of each hrarket 25 and engage the vertiral slots or reeesses 1".) in the guide hrarkets 2h. The vertiral standard 23 is provided with spline-ways 28 in which the splines .59 on the movahle hlork Ill) travel. The side standards ll have wings 3t and I)? extending outwardly therefrmn. said wings having slots 31.; and ll therein. 'lhese slots register laterally with slots I55 and St) in wings 3? and R8 of the movahle hlork 30.

Between the side standards it and the. hifureated standard 2 rorker arms ll) are mounted. which are provided with elongated slots all and llanges l2 at thev fore. ends thereof for eeuring the platen or hrush hark holder 43 thereto. The arms to may he pivoted at any point along the slots 41 h v means of the studs H rarrying rollers 45 whirh engage the slots 41 in said arms. The studs ll are mounted at a point along the slots 13 3 and 254 in the side standards 2i. (See Figs. 1 and 7.) The arms rarrying the brush hark holders l are rorked hy means of a ronnertion with the sliding hlork 3t), whirh is uiovahle vertieally in said standard 22). stud l7 passes through the arms it) and through one of the slots in wings it? or its in the. sliding hlork 30. and is illustrated in this ease as passing through the. slot. 35. The stud l7 rarries rollers at the. ends thereof whirh engage the arms it). Now when the sliding hloek 30 is operated up and down in the hifurrated standard 23, the arms it) are swung in the are of a rirele (that is when the marhine is roupled and adjusted as shown for angle work) as shown diagrannnatirally in Fig. l2. The guide hrarkets 2h heing fast. on the arms ll) aml pathways 23%) in whirh the stationary rollers 27 travel, it is seen that although the arms ll) move in an are of a rirrle. the. distanre hetween the horing tool l and the platen or hrush holding hark is always the same. the arms ll) heing allowed to slide and roek onv the rollers rarried hy the studs, to arromplish this feature.

The guide hrarkets'Qt' have their slots or pathways 35) vertirally disposed and the hrarkets are operated in a vrrtiral plane. It will he. noted that the stationary rollers 27 have their ronnnon renter line or axis in vertiral aliurment or in the. same plane with the renter line of the slot 51 in the head portion of the. hase, see Figs. and that the hrush hark F. (shown only in Fig. 8) always has that particular part of its surfare whirh is next to he. hored in alinement or roiuriding with thaxis of the stationary r llers 37. This'part. of the surl'are of the hrnsh hark therefore is also in alinement with the renter of the slot 51 of 7 and the head portion of the hase. lty mean of this positioning. ronslrnrlion and arraugrmeut of parts. the point to he hored or tilled on the surl'are ol-the hrush hark i always roiurideut. as it were. or in alinenirnl wiih the.axis of the positioning rollers 27. lherr h v insuring a uniform depth of hore no matter what position the lil"l. ll hark may he in at the time of horing. This operation and arrangement of parts guarantees a lNH iug of holes of uniform depth while the hrush hark is heing hored for a hrush with the. tufts slanting at the sides. in other words. while the hrush hark is heiug swung in an arr of a rirrle vertiraltv with relation to the top of the tahle or frame of the marhiue.

The same prinriple is involved and employed in swinging the hrush hark endwise in an are of a rirrle. or in other words. in a plane parallel with the top of the frame or tahle on whirh it is mounted. To arromplish this l provide the slots l). fill and Id in the hase 'illol' the hrush supporting memhrrs and H. The slots Ill and so are in the tail portion 3'. of the hase '30 while the v lot. 51 is in the head portion .323. The slots l) and 5t) are prel'erahly underrul as shown. and are engaged h v the roller fil mounted on a stud in one of the slots is and 54" in the top 57 of the tahle or fltllllt. This roller forms the pivot upon whirh the ha e 2 swings. stationary shaft passes up through the slot 1 in the head 52, of the hase and rarries a roller 3t whirh rides in the. slot or underrut portion thereof.

The h -e 20 is provided with a gear rark 5 whirh is engaged hy and meshes with a pinion titl tight on the sha ft 58, and forms the means for swinging the hase, it) in an are of a rirrle. The sliding hlork ill (Figs. H and 1 whirh operates the hrush hark holder in an are of a rirele in a vertiral plane. is mounted on and rarried h v a-s hal't il whirh passes through the hase 2t) and of eourse is rarried laterally th rewith. a slot 2 (Figs. 7 and heing provided in the tahle top 7 to arrommodate this movement. The horing tool lH reriproratrs in the line of its length, said line extended passing over the renter ot' the shaft 55 (Fig. ll). 'lhese movements of the sliding hlork it and the haseitl are aeromplished h v the artuatiug means romprising a pair of positioning forks i rapahle. of lateral movement (Figs. l I) and l). whirh movement is arromplished h v the to and fro movement of a master pat tern drum l) in a manner to he desrrihed hereinafter. These forks are plared one. ahove the other and romprise the prongs or plates il whirh have heveled undereul edges (,5 forming inclined planes whirh are en gaged h v elements (to he desrrihed) on the. drum, pushing them either to one side or the. other amounting to the movement de l l t) sired for the brush back holding member. The upper fork is secured to a sliding bar or back (it; which carries a gear rack 37, said gear rack meshing with a pinion gear 8 mounted on a shaft (it). The pinion (38 is integral with a gear wheel which meshes with a sliding gear rack 71, having teeth on both sides thereof. and supported by braclv ets 71'. The sliding gear rack Tl meshes with pinion gears'TZ which are mounted on the. shafts as described above which, as stated, also carry the pinions iii) which drive the bases '30 by engagement with" the. gear racks 55) thereon. Thus the movement of the upper fork operates the base i of the brush back holding members and provides for the ateral movement of the brush back holding 1. mber.

The. lower fork is so arranged, that when moved laterally it will cause the vertical movement of the brush back or movement in a transverse direction from that of the base. 20 of the holding member or su port. The lower fork is provided with the prongs or plates (34' which are mounted on a straight bar 73 which is mounted on suitable brackets H and forms a support for the bar (it; of the upper fork and upon which said bar (it; slides. Bell crank lever are attached at one end to the fork bar 0! oack 73 and pivoted at 76 to brackets 74' mounted on the cross support or rib 78 of the frame of the machini- ('Fig. 2). The other ends of the bell eranlt' levers T5 are attached to the ends of shafts 79 which shafts are mounted in suitable journals 80 (Fig. 3) and carry a frame 31 at their upper ends. Theframes 31 (Figs. 1 and (i) are provided with tracks or guideways R2 in which a slid ing member or sled 3') operates laterally of the machine. The sleds 83 carry the shafts (31 which have been described and upon which the movable blocks 31) of the brush back holding members are mounted.

The sled is provided with the transverse slot 1 34 to allow for the roper movement. of the .shaft 61 therein when the brush holding master pattern drum D which is adapted to cooperate with the positioning forks. R5 represents the hollow shaft upon which the drum is mounted. the said shaft being mounted in suitable standards 86 mounted onthe base 87 of the machine. This shaft carries eccentrics 2 which engage the supporting spiders or rings oi The spiders or rings which carry the drum mechanism are provided with two walls Uh" which are provided horizontally opposite each other. The e centrics W just lit in between these walls and therefore when the eccentrics are rotated they impart a reciprocating movement to said spider rings and hence more the entire drum. it. will be noted that there is no engaging wall on the spider rings for engagement with the eccentrics at the top or bottom. push bar ring W) is mounted on the outside of said clamping rings or spiders Nil and is slotted around its periphery to receive a series of pairs of push bars i l which bars are clamped n position in said slots by means of clamping rings 9'3. The push bars it. will be understood are capable of being adjusted longitudinally of their length in said slots. Mounted insid of the push bar ring a toothed ring or ratchet U3 is provided and securely mounted which is adapted to be engaged by a dog'or pawl 9t mounted on the yoke H5 which yoke is pivoted on a pin 9b in the spiders or rings 6 The yoke straddles a roller or sleeve 97 on" the hollow shaft 8.3 and when the entire drum is moved backward the inclined surface 98 (Fig. 4-) strikes the roller and oscillates the yoke moving it upwardly and the pawl 94 engaging the teeth in the ratchet ring 93 being mounted on said yoke, rotates said ring and consequently the entire drum. As the drum starts its return movement the lower end 99 of the yoke strikes the roller or sleeve 97 and brings the yoke and pawl in position to engage another tooth} thus imparting a step by step rotary movement to said drum. Mounted on the spider or sun porting rings 89 laterally extending brack ets 86 are provided which carry rollers 100 at their outer ends. The rollers travel on tracks 101 provided on the standards 36.

lhus the drum is reciprocated on said rollers.

It will lWQIltHltlStOOtl that each pair of push bars 91 are adapted to engage the pair of positioning forks as their turn comes and as they are rotated into proper position for engagement therewith, and as the drum is operated to and fro, and-that each push bar is properly adjusted according to the. pattern or layout plan of the brush back to be bored and filled.

in case it is desired to do straight work on the machine that is, have all tufts in the brush back placed straight and not at an angle. coupling mechanism (Figs. 9 and 10) is provided. First, however, the pivot 54 in the brush holding member WJtit be removed. and another stud similar to that shown at 47 must be mounted in a corresponding position 0n the opposite side of the shaft 61 to cause the arms 40 to more straight up and down instead oi in an arc of a circle.

gear wheel 102 is provided on the shaft o rotating therewith. gear rack 1oz: is carried by a frame llll which slides in guides I05 underneath the top 57 of the frame ol" the machine. threaded stud 10o threads into a threaded hole ll in the movable l'rame HH and is. also threaded through a portion of the main l'rame ol the. maehine. This enables the l'rame llll to be drawn to and l'ro for the purpose of engaging gear ra k 10?; with the gear wheel 1 for shifting the tables laterally. 'lhe gear rack 102' i-oniui'ts with the shafts 1 as shown at lilo in Fig. l(). hand wheel 10*.) is preterabl v provided on the stud ior. l'or operat ing same,

The hollow shaft 35 upon which the drum is mounted is mounted on a. main drive shaft lll) which passes therethrough and is driven by a pulley 111 driven by any suitable means. The aha it 110 has another pulley lip mounted at its opposite end which is connected by means of the belt ll to pulley 1H which (lllHH the shaft ll?) upon which it is mounted. The shaft 115 has a bevel gear 116 mounted thereon which meahes with a bevel gear ll7 mounted on the shaft lib suitably iournaled in the frame. The shaft H has a bevel gear lif mounted at its opposite end which meshes with a bevel gear 12!) mounted on the hollow shat't thereby imparting reeip roeating motion to the drum through the medium ol the eccentrics mounted on said hollow ahal't.

lt ix believed that. the operation of this improved automatic machine will be elearly understood from the foregoing description.

.\nother advantage. derived from this maehiue is in the. position lock obtained against the l'urther movement of the brush back sup porting members al'ter they have been positioned l'or boring and filling.

\Vhile in the aecoi'npanying drawings l have shown two tables. one for boring and one for fillin it is obvious that a. single table. could be. used where the boring or filling is accomplished in a Separate machine. Neither do I wish to be confined to any specilic style or shape of positioning bars, as it is obvious that bars with V or U shaped slots 121 could be. substituted instead ot bars with beveled ends, (Fig. 19) in which case. a V or U shaped tongue 12') would be aulmtituted l'orthe positioning vention. it will also be understood that the number ol push bars carried by the drum may be increased or diminished to aerommoilate brushes with a greater or less number of holes.

lna mueh ax many modilieations in the. construction of my invention may be. made without departing from the spirit and scope said' l'orks nowused in the most acceptable form of my inthereof, I do not wish to be confined to the exact details shown.
