2 claims. (C1.` melf-122i This invention relates to a wallpaper removing device and has for an object to provide a dev-ice of this character in which the pan for steaming the wall paper will be supported upon a portable Standard which may be rolled along the floor to apply the pan to a wall or ceiling and thus eliminate holding the pan manually while the wall paper is being steamed oi.
A` further object is .to provide a device oi this character Vin which the standard will be adjustable as to vertical height and in which the pan will be suppOrted on the standard for various angular' adjustments to accommodate slope of ceilings` or irregular wall contours.
Aiurther object is to provide apparatus of this character which will be formed of a few strong, simple and' durable parts', which will be linexpensive to manufacture, and which will not' easill get out of order.
Withtheabove andother objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of' parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this speciiication:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a wall paper remover constructed in accordance with the invention, showing the steaming pan applied to a wall.
Figure 2 is a View similar to Figure 1 but showl ing the steaming pan applied to a ceiling.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1 showing the castered base of` the standard.
Figure 4 is a cross sectional View of the adjustable clamp for holding the pan.
Figure 5 is a rear elevation of the 'adjustable clamp shown in Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a front elevation of the clamp shown in Figure 4.
Figure '7 is a plan view of the adjustable clamp showing the parts separated.
Figure 8 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 8--8 of Figure 2 showing the vertically adjustable tubular members of the standard.
Figure 9 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 9-9 of Figure 1 showing the means for adjustingthe members of the standard vertically.
Figure 10 is a cross sectional view taken on `the line III- I0 of Figure 2 showing the rack on which the pawl operates.
Figure I1 isY a perspective view of the sleeveA member which carries Athe pawl and adjustably receives the shank ofthe steam tray.
Figure -12 is a perspective View showing the notched rack and hose clip on thev standard of the device.
Referring now to the drawings in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the various views, Illv designate-s a base having three radially disposed arm-s provided at the end with respective casters II'. A post I2 is secured in any preferred manner Ito the-base. A sleeve I3 is slideably mounted on the post and is provided at the lower end with a forked spring clamp I4 for supporting a steamv hose I5. The sleeve is provided with a longitudinal rib II- having notches I1, see Figure 12. TheV sleeve may be adjusted vertically on the rod according to various heights of rooms throughthe medium of split rings I8 at thel top and bottom o the rib embracing the sleeve and secured to the rib by respective clamp bolts I9; The lowermost ring isA secured tothe post I2 by a set screw 5Y and the lowerrnost ring engages underneath the spring clamp I4; 'The' sleeve I3 may be raised or lowered on the post l2 when the set screw is loosened,
A steam pan 20 having a perforated diaphragm 2| forming the front wall, provided with conventional packing material 22 all around the periphery of the front wall to retain the steam localized on the wallpaper to soften the paper in the usual manner' so that it may be pulled oli. The steam hose I5 is connected to a nipple 23 on the rear wall of the steam pan,a conventional hose clamp 24 clamping the hose to the nipple.
The s am pan is connected, through the mediu um of a nge joint generally indicated at 25, with a rod 2B axially adjustable in a tubular socket 21 mounted in oiset relation on a tubular carrier 28 slidably disposed on the sleeve I3.
The tubular carrier 28 is split on one side and is provided with spaced flanges 29 adjacent to the split. A dog is disposed between the flanges and is mounted on a pivot pin 3I which is engaged through openings 32 in the flanges. A helical spring 33 is sleeved on the pivot pin and is connected at one end to the dog and at the other end to a pin 34 which is engaged through openings 35 in the flanges I9. The spring yieldably holds the dog in engagement with selected notches I1 to adjust the height of the steam pan as required, while the work progresses. The steam pan may also be used to operate on ceilings and for this purpose the hinge connection 25 is disconnected from an elbow 36 disposed at the upper end of the rod 26 and is inserted in the upper end of a tube 31 which is slidably mounted on the upper end of the sleeve I3 through the medium of v an adjusting bolt 38 engaged through a longitudinal slot 39 in the tube. A helical spring 40 is disposed within the tube and is supported on the upper end of the sleeve I3 to yieldably hold the tube spring pressed upwardly by engagement of the upper end of the spring with the universal joint 25, see Figure 2. l
The pan supporting connection 25 is removably secured to the elbow 26 by a set screw 42.
The hinge connection comprises a pair of spaced parallel arms 43 which project rearwardly from the rear face of the steam pan 20. The arms are connected together at the outer ends by a shaft 44. The shaft is disposed within a three part clamp shown best in Figures 4, 5, 6 and '1 and which comprises arcuate members 45 which surround one half thel cylindrical area of the shaft 44 and are provided with ears 46 through which a clamp bolt 41 is passed. The members are also provided with perforated ears 48, which align with similar perforated ears 49 on opposite ends of a semi-cylindrical member 50 which engages the other half cylindrical area of the shaft 44, see Figure 4. Bolts designated in general by the numeral extend through the ears of all three members to clamp the members to the shaft 44. The member 50 is provided with a stem 5i which terminates in a ball 52 adapted to enter a two piece socket member 53 having a stem 54 adapted to interchangeably enter the elbow 36 or tube 31 and be confined in place by the set screws 4| or 42 as the case may be. The virtue of the above described universal joint connection is that the pan may be tilted in an angular direction to conform to the contour of various roof slopes or wall contours.
The aforesaid rod 26 is adjustably secured in the socket 21 by a set screw 55 to permit the steam pan being lowered, when the sleeve I3 is also lowered, so that areas near the iioor of a room may be steamed to remove wall paper.
will be fully understood without further explanation.
What is claimed is:
1. In a wallpaper removing device of the type having an adjustable steam pan provided with a supporting rod, a supporting post having a sleeve thereon formed with a longitudinal rib having spaced notches, a tubular split carrier slidably mounted on the sleeve, and having spaced parallel flanges, a dog between the flanges, a pivot pin on which the dog is mounted, a spring for normally holding the dog in engagement with a selected notch on the rib of the sleeve to hold the sleeve in adjusted position thereon, said sleeve having a tubular socket member extending laterally therefrom to adjustably receive the supporting rod of thesteam pan of the device, and means for holding the rod in adjusted position therein.
2. ln a Wallpaper removing device of the type having a steam pan, and a supporting rod connected for substantially universal adjustment with reference to the steam pan, a supporting post having an elongated sleeve thereon formed with a longitudinal rib having spaced notches, a tubular split carrier slidably mounted on the sleeve having spaced, parallel flanges at the split por-tion, a pin carried between the flanges, a pivoted dog between the iianges having an operating handle, a pivot pin carried by the flanges on which the dog is mounted, a spring about the pivot pin and having one end engaging the lrst pin and the other end engaging the dog to normally urge the dog into engagementwith a selected one of the notches to hold the carrier in adjusted position on the sleeve, a tubular socket member on the sleeve opposite the dog to adjustably receive the rod of the steam pan, and means for holding the rod in adjusted position in the socket member.
