Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 9286. Martini, E. April 22. Refuse, collecting ; sweeping. machines.-In a motordriven street cleaner, a rotary brush, which raises the coarser refuse to an elevator, is preceded by pneumatic suction jets which collect the lighter dust. Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a transverse section at the line A-A. A suction fan c exhausts the dirt-receiving chamber a through a pipe d, the dust-laden air entering through pipes d<1> which terminate in two rows of elongated mouthpieces e capable of slight movement and supported on rollers in front of the brush g. The brush is carried on arms h, which may, be raised by hand-gear, and feeds into an opening in the transverse member of an elevator tube k just above the ground. The extent of the opening of the elevator into the chamber a is controlled by an adjustable slide l. The dust falls, in part, to the bottom of the chamber by striking against the wall, and the remainder is separated from the emergent air by a spraying-device contained in the enlarged mouth o of the pipe d. This is shown in detail in Fig. 4, and consists of superposed water vessels p, the upper of which is supplied by a pipe q from a tank s, Fig. 1, and is connected by an overflow pipe to the lower, which contains a float controlling the inlet valve. The vessels have spraying pipes which are supplied with air through a pipe r from a fan n, Figs. 1 and 2, which also gives sufficient suction through pipes u and a broad orifice v to collect any slight dust that may arise from the brush. The brush and fans are driven from a main shaft which is turned by means not shown.
