Definitions

  • the general object ofthe present invention is to aifordamechanism of the kind referred to which will be simple and inexpensive in structure, and at the same time effective Aand convenient in operation, durable and free from liabilityto get out of order.
  • lVhile hand power might in somecases be 'used as the motive power for driving the ⁇ mechanism, it is aparticular object hereof to afford a compact and eflicient mechanism driven by electric motor; and especially such a motor whichl is stationary in position and requires neither reversing in action nor a4v reversible clutch, yet such as'will cause the cleaner device to'traverse the surface to vbe cleaned in alternate directions, thus con- Y stantly scraping or rubbing off from thesurface rain, snow, ice, dirt or other obstructions.
  • the presen-t invention consists in the novel mechanism andthe novel features of combination, arrangement and details herein illustrated, described or claimed.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation of an automobile wind shield having applied'- theretoa lcleaning mechanism constitutingv l a convenient einbodiment for the purposes of illustrating the s a novel mechanism for' cleaning glass wind shields or analogous surprinciples of the present. invention.- 'This figure is partly broken away toshow interior I fas construction. Y.
  • Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the mechanism seen in Fig. 1.
  • .F ig. 3 is a leftend elevationofthe mech- -anis'm seen in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • Fig. 4 on an enlarged scale is a left elevation vin section taken onY the line Ll--Ll of Fig. 2.
  • Fig., 5 ⁇ is a partial, horizontal sectional View taken centrally through the adjustable. sprocket wheel andits adjusting means.
  • the glass windshield 5 is shown' as held within an inclosingf-ram'e or 'rim 6. This may be of standard form, inasmuch asv my invention is adapted to be detachably ⁇ ap quent cleaning operations' areA desirable.
  • the hollow support 7 4 is provided at each end with a clamping eXtensionS, in
  • Vactual cleaning devices are supported by a niovable'c'arrier shown in the form. of a slide-or'block 10.
  • This carrierl is tted to' traverse the width of the wind shield in altern'atev directions. Instead "of having a cleaning device at4 onlythe outer or frontside of the wind shield,there may be oneat each side, and forthis purpose the sliding'. carrier 10', which is shown as constituted of' bent metal, is formed with an extension 11 passing over the top of the wind shield and 4and enable a material contact pressure to be maintained upon the' cleaners against the down at the opposite side, as more fully seenfi in Fig. 4. At one side of thewind shield,f
  • each head having pivoted to it a cleanery 15, which may consist. simply of a vertical bing element 17 in the form of a rubber strip or the like.
  • a cleanery 15 which may consist. simply of a vertical bing element 17 in the form of a rubber strip or the like.
  • the carrier 10 may be slidingly mounted as follows.
  • rier and the support and inside the supportis a second piece of material orfiber 21.
  • T he bolt or screw 19 forms thevconnection for these elements,'and at its inner end it is screw-threaded intothe fiber block 21, which may be considered as part of the carrier.
  • an elongated actuator which extends transversely or crosswise 1n substantial parallelism' withthe surface to .be cleaned, and adapted to be driven in a sinle direction by the motor or driving shaft.
  • a suitable means connects it with the carrier such as to cause'the carrier 'and the cleaner to travel alternately'in opposite directions during the unidirectional motion of the actuator.
  • This principle might be carriedout in various ways. F or example, there might be a transverse shaft extending across the wind shield,
  • a simple link 28 is shown as constituting 'the lconnection from the actuator 2li to the carrier 10. lt actually extends from boss .22 on the fiber block 21 to a pin 2% on the actuator. rlhe illustrated actuatei.' is simply an endless belt, by which w 'lf any other flexible element, versely across and near to cleaned. rllfhis endless b shown as a spr. che tively within the nollew Lesage? its ends passing around two wneeis ,or sprockets 25 and 26, the former being lo'n.- gitudinally adjustable to take up slack,'and
  • the switch is'shown set for an open circuit
  • the link 28 serves effectively for this purpose. lt will be noticed that the link is relatively short, so that at the end of its travel one extremity may pass around the wheel or sprocket'to effectively reverse the direction of action, while the other end of the link, pivoted to the carrier, pauses for a moment until with the further advance of the chain, the link comes again into action to advance the carpresent invention.
