GUSTAVO ESPINOSA DE LOS MONTEROS, OF EL PASO, TEXAS.B AST DEVICE FOR SHOE-POLISHING MACHINES.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 11, 1917.
Application fled June 10, 1916. Serial No. 102,899.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GuSTAVo ESPINOSA DE
Los MONTEROS, a citizen of Mexico, resid-
ing at El Paso, in the. county of El Paso
5 and State of Texas( have invented certain
new and useful Improvements in Blast De-'
vices for Shoe-Polishing Machines, :of which
the following is a specification, reference
being had therein to the accompanying
10 drawing.
This invention relates to a blast device for
a shoe polishing machine and has for its
principal object the production of a device-'
which is so - constructed as to apply polish
:5 to a shoe and then to dry the'same and af-
terward polish the shoe, thus dispensing
with the necessity of the employment of
the ordinary brushes and other parapher-
nalia now in use for the purpose.
o Another object of this invention is the
production of a i last device for a. shoe pol-
ishing machine wherein the base has a han-
dle formed thereon so as to permit the same
to be easily lifted,.while the motor housing
185 carried upon this base .permits the entire
device to be easily lifted and moved to a
- position desired so as to facilitate the pol-
ishing of shoes.
Another object of this invention is the
30 production of a blast device for a shoe pol-
ishing machine wherein the funnel is de-
mountably carried upon the motor housing
so as to direct the air currents from the mo-
tor housing to the shoe upon which the pol-
15 ish-is being applied, this funnel being adapt-
ed to be removed when so desired for ap-
. plying a brush to the motor shaft, whereby
the brush may either apply the polish to a
shoe or burnish the shoe afterward as de-
40 sired.
With these and other objects in view this
invention consists of certain novel combi-
nations, constructions, and arrangements of
parts as will be hereinafter fully described
45 and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the blast
device for a shoe polishing machine.
Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section
o through the blast* device for a shoe polish-
ing machine, showing the funnel removed.
and a brush applied thereto.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the blast
device for a shoe polishing machine, por-
55 tions of the motor housing being broken
away.Fig. 4 is a section taken on the line 4-4
of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the ar-
rows.
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section through 60
the forward portions of the motor housing
and through the funnel, illustrating the
manner in which the funnel is mounted
thereon.
Fig. 6 is a side elevation partly in sec- 65
tioni of a brush used for applying polish to
the shoe.
Fig. 7 is a front elevation of the brush
as disclosed in Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is a side elevation of another form 70
of a brush. which is used in rubbing or
brushing the shoe after the polish has dried
thereon.
Fig. 9 is a sectional view of the brush as
disclosed in Fig." 8, portions of the same be- 75
ing shown in elevation.
Fig. 10 is a front elevation of the brush
as shown in Fig. 8.
Fig. 11 is an elevation of the inner end
of the shaft used in connection with these 80
brushes, showing the socket formed therein.
Referring to the accompanying drawings.
by numerals it will be seen that 1 designates
a base plate which has the handle 2 formed
upon -its rear end and extending for a con- 85
siderable distance thereabove. This handle
2 has a sleeve 3 formed upon one side there-
of and through the handle 2 and sleeve 3
there extends a bore 4 for the reception of
the conductor wires 5 wl-ich extend there- 90
through. The motor 6 is mounted upon the
base 1, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and is
held in a fixed set position by -means of the
screws 7 which pass through the base of the
motor 6 into engagemhent with the base plate 95
1. The wires 5 are connected to-the motor
6 so that a suitable supply of'electricity may
be supplied to the motor for running the
same. It is, of course, obvious tha e suit-
able form of a. motor may be ,.iaployed 100
either of a direct or alternating type and
also of any desired size.
The motor housing 8 is substantially cir-
cular in cross-section at its central portion,
although it tapers toward its end, and is 105
mounted upon the base plate 1. The straight
side walls 9 extend from the central portions
of the housing 8, depending for a consider-
able distance therebelow. and having the
horizontally extending base flanges 10 110
formed thereon, which flanges rest upon
the base plate 1. The retaining screws 111,239,673.
