' direction.
The i machine I further comprises yielding or spring 'meansby-which a predetermined pressure :is applied to the roller.
-:In the-illustrated embodimentiof my invention, the ,frameof the machinev includes-i a truckor chassis 1,-iand a carriage 2 movablymounted on theframe, thetruck or chassis 1 having front and 're'ar supporting'wheels 3, 4, which run on the floor, therear wheel 4= being a castor 'wheel. There are usually two front wheels 3,- and one rear wheel 4. #Preferablyfthe carriage 2 is pivoted at 5 to the chassis on a transverse pivot.
' 6 designates the abrading rollerwhich is supported from'the carriage 2 in front of the chassis '1. The roller maybe of any suitable form, size and construction. It usually comprises a body ordrum having a covering 7;.of yielding material around which is wrapped a' sheet 8 .of abrading This sheet is removably secured tothe roller inany suitable manner. "The roller is mounted on an axle'lO, the opposite ends of which areindependently supported directly from'the carriage 2 by' supporting members ili having hubs i 12 on the ends of the axle i0, suitable antifricupwardly extending fixed bearings, l5 at the front end of the carriage 2'; These bearings 15 are in the form ofa bracket which is secured to the carriage inany suitable vmanner as by screws 16. The bracket together with the depending arms lland abrading roller 6 constitute a detachable Vabrading roller. unit, the bracket constituting the sole means for supporting the abrading .unit from .the frame.
The yieldingly resistant means are preferably springs, which act in opposite directions on the supporting members l1, and i are preferablyicompression springsacting in opposite directions on the? spindles'l i, and are here'shown'aslocated in' the spindles 14.
17 and 18 designate the oppositely acting springs which are located in the hollow-or tubular portion 19 of each spindle 14,'these,. springs thrusting, at .their inner ends against. 'anjabhtimenti 20' "fixed relativelyto the-companion bearing 15 and extending transversely through the spindle 14 I which .is provided .with diametrically opposite lengthwise .fslotsy2 1. through which the abutment 20 extends ,The. spring. 18. thrusts at its .outer end! against. the bottom .of "the hollow portion of the. spindle. and the spring 1'7 thrusts at its outer end iagainstan adjustable memberlin the upper, end-of thespindle asithe. screw v1.22. The downward .moveinent. of "the spindle "under influence of'the spring l8=-is limited-bye, nutv23, which I have called a=-leveling wnut, threading on the upper end of theispindleil'nand thrusting against thetupperendlof the -bearing 15. This nut .istadjust a'ble and held in its adjustedposi- .tionby a set screw'24. .The supportingmember 11, orllthe spindle "14 thereof ,;has a free upward movement within limits. It will be, understood that there is a member 11 at eaehend of *the roller, and each member 11 has opposing springs l7, 18,.,acting on. an. abutment "20,; a'nd-;the adjustingwscrew. 22, anda leveling nut-23.
'1 If both springs 17.-and'18 areiadiustedequally, opposite ends. of: the rollers- Will-be floatinglysupported. ,Byunscrewingtheiscrews, 2 2, the tenisionbflthe springs 17,. will be decreased relatively to'the springs18, andthe springs 18 act with greater force downwardly until the downward movement of the spindle 14 is limited by the leveling nut 23. By tightening the screws 22 so that the springs 17 exert a stronger force than the spring 18, the roller will have an easier floating effect than when the springs 17, 18 are balanced, or when the spring 18 overbalances the spring 17 as when the screw 22 is backed off so that the spring 18 can apply a greater force than the spring 17.
Ihe antifriction rollers in the hubs 12 have sufficient looseness to permit up and down movements of opposite ends of the rollers independently of each other within limits.
The roller 6 is actuated by an electric motor so mounted on the carriage 2 with the greater portion thereof in front of the pivot of the carriage 2, so that the weight of the motor tends to tilt the front end of the carriage downwardly and apply the weight of the motor to the roller. The motion of the rotor of the motor is transferred to the roller through suitable motion transmitting means, here illustrated as a belt 31 running over pulleys 32 and 33 mounted respectively on the shaft 34 of the motor, and on one end of the axle 10 of the roller. As seen in Figure 2,-the pulley 33 threads on one end of the axle l0 and thrusts against the inner ring of the anti-friction bearing 12. The shaft 34 of the motor is also connected to the rotor of a suction creating device or blower 36 carried by the carriage 2, the inlet side of the blower communicating with a conduit 37 having a nozzle 38 at its end arranged in juxtaposition to the rear side of the roller to receive the dust created by the roller. The conduit 37 is connected by a suitable couplin 39 to the carriage 2 to partake of the tilting movement of the carriage and thus hold the nozzlein juxtaposition to the roller in any adjusted position of the roller.
The motion of the motor shaft is transmitted to the'rotor of the blower through suitable means as a belt i0 running over pulleys 41, 42 mounted respectively on the motor shaft 34, and the shaft 43 of the blower. The outlet end of the blower communicates with a suitable pipe 44, on the end of which a dust collecting bag, not shown, is mounted.
The means for yieldingly supporting the carriage 2 and to adjustably apply a predetermined pressure to the roller supported by the carriage, or to permit the Weight of the motor 30 to be applied more or less to the roller 6, comprises yieldingly resistant means acting in opposite directions on the carriage, and means for increasing the force of the resistant means in one direction, and decreasing the force of the means in the other direction. The yieldingly resistant means are preferably oppositely acting springs, and the adjustment of the force of these springs is effected by decreasing the force of one spring, and increasing the force of the other.
, and 51 designate springs acting in opposite directions on the rear end of the carriage 2, these springs encircling an operating rod 52 pivoted at 53 atits lower end to the rear end of the carriage 2, the rod extending lengthwise of a bar or tongue 54 fixed at its lower end to the chassis and having handles 55 at its upper end. The spring 50 is interposed between a shoulder 56 on the rod 52 and one end of an adjusting nut or sleeve 57 threading through a lug 58 fixed on the bar 54, and the spring 51 is interposed between a similar shoulder 59 and the other end of the nut'or sleeve 57. The rod 52 may be operated by means of a lever handle 60 pivoted at 61 to the bar 54 near the upper end thereof so that the handle 60 is in juxtaposition to the handles 55, this lever having an angular arm 62 pivoted at 63 to the upper end of the rod 52, or a coupling 64 at the upper end of the rod 52.
When the lever handle 60 is pulled rearwardly into the position shown in Figure 1, the arm 62 pushes the rod 52 downwardly and thus tilts the carriage 2, so that its front end moves upwardly and holds the roller 6 off the floor, or other surface, the pivot 63 extending beyond a dead center line bringing the arm 62 against the stop shoulder 65 so that the arm 62 and rod 52 lock toggle fashion.
When the handle lever 60 is pushed forwardly, the arm 62 and arm 52 come out of a straight line, or the toggle folds, so that the front end of the carriage can tilt downwardly, letting the roller 6 engage the floor, or other surface, and the amount of pressure applied depends upon the difference in tension between the springs 50 and 51, the spring 50 tending to push the rod 52 down- Wardly and hence, elevate the front end of the carriage 2 and the roller 5, or to neutralize the weight of the motor 30 and the spring 51 tendor nut 57 upwardly, the tension of the spring 50 is decreased, and that of the spring 51 increased, so that the pressure applied to the roller is increased. By reason of the adjustment 57, the pressure of the roller can be varied from'approximately nothing to maximum, which in this particular machine, is ninety pounds, and the operator can set the sleeve or nut 57 at the proper adjustment for the work to be performed, and need not apply the pressure on the roller by pressing on the handle 60.
Heretofore, it was necessary for the operator to not only guide the machine by means of the handle 55, but also hold the pressure applied by means of a handle similar to the handle 60. By means of the springs 50'and 51, the operator is relieved of applying and holding the pressure. Also, the springs 50 and 51 spring support the carriage 2 and act as buffer springs, or shock absorbers.
In some work, as for instance, in merely refinishing a floor, or removing a light coat of varnish, which floor might have undulations in it, the nut 57 is adjusted to apply a light pressure to the roller 6, so that the roller practically floats and follows the unevennesses in the floor, the springs 17 and 18 of the roller mounting also facilitating this floating action. For heavier Work, such as removing a heavy coat of varnish, or resurfacing floors and bowling alleys and the like to an exact level, heavy pressure is desired, and the sleeve 57 may be adjusted to lessen the pressure on the spring 50 and increase the pressure on the spring 51, and also the screws 22 of the front roller mounting may be backed off to decrease the lifting tension of the spring 17'and permit the springs 18 to act with greater force, so that the abrading roller levels off all uneven nesses or undulations in contradistinction to merely finishing the surface.
