PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Apparatus or Appliances for
Polishing Glass.
1, VICTOR MALEVEZ, of Courcelles, Belgium, Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention refers to improvements in or connected with glass polishing apparatus
or appliances producing great useful effects while obtaining the same degree of power
and care as hitherto..
According to my invention a ring or frame is carried by a driving shaft and is
provided with a series of small movable polishers receiving motion from or carried by
the said ring. These small polishers may be fixed to the said frame, but the
important part of my invention consists in the mode of adaptation of the said small
polishers on the frame in such manner that if desired they may be pivotted so as to
have a double action in addition to the circular movement which is given to them in
common by the rotation of the frame whereby they make a very effective travel by
their individual motion about themselves.
These small polishers are applied to the frame by means of spindles passing through
brackets and into the collar of the polishers.
If it is desired to fix the position of the said polishers a key or cotter is inserted
through the collar of the polisher and spindle. It follows that the small polishers can
be thus rendered fixed or movable at will.

Improvements in or connected with Apparatus or Appliances for
Polishing Glass.
I VICTOR MALEVEZ of Courcelles, Belgium Engineer do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention refers to improvements in or connected with glass polishing apparatus
or appliances producing great useful effects while obtaining the same degree of power
and care as hitherto.
According to my invention a ring or frame is carried by a driving shaft and is
provided with a series of small movable polishers receiving motion from or carried by
the said ring. These small polishers may be fixed to the said frame but the important
part of my invention consists in the mode of adaptation of the said small polishers on
the frame in such manner that if desired they may be pivotted so as to have a double
action in addition to the circular movement which is given to them in common by the
rotation of the frame whereby they make a very effective travel by their individual
motion about themselves.
These small polishers are applied to the frame by means of spindles passing through
brackets and into the collar of the polishers.
If it is desired to fix the position of the said polishers a key or cotter is inserted
through the collar of the polisher and spindle. It follows that the small polishers can
be thus fixed or movable at will.
Figure 1 of the drawings represents a polisher constructed according to my

page_text: invention mounted on a carriage, it is shown with apparatus which can be used for
lifting up when required.
Figure 2 is a detached view drawn on a larger scale than the previous figure of a
small polisher applied to the frame, the key or cotter being taken out.
Figure 3 shows the pivot spindle A for keeping movable or fixed the small polisher
on the frame here the key is inserted.
;
1, 1, 1, 1 are the polishers mounted on the spindles A in the brackets a; C are the
apertures in the collar for insertion of cotters to fix the position of the polishers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction and application of glass polishers consisting of a frame mounted
on a driving shaft and combined with polishers pivotted on spindles which connect
them to the said frame thus obtaining a double polishing movement substantially as
herein before described and illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings.
