Abstract
A power driven cylindrical rotary brush includes a drive shaft having affixed adjacent to one end a first splined inwardly directed frusto-conical plug having a peripheral flange at its base and having affixed adjacent its opposite end a circular plate having circumferentially spaced tapped bores. A cylindrical brush core provided with helically wound bristles has one end engaging the first plug. A second plug similar to the first plug engages the opposite end of the brush core and is bolted to the circular plate and is urged toward the first plug to wedge and deform the opposite end borders of the core. The first plug may be secured to the shaft in the manner of the first plug.
Claims5
A power driven rotary brush assembly comprising a drive shaft, a afirst plug member mounted proximate one end of said shaft and rotatable therewith, a second plug member mounted proximate on opposite end of said shaft and separable from said shaft, a coupling member affixed to said shaft axially inwardly of and proximate the inner end of said second plug member coupling means for separably connecting said second plug member to said coupling member by rotation therewith and for axially adjustably advancing said second plug member toward said coupling member, said plug members having frustoconical peripheral surfaces coaxial with said shaft tapering inwardly toward each other, and a brush member including a deformable tubular cylindrical core coaxial with said shaft and outwardly directed bristles supported by said core, said core having an inside diameter between the maximum and minimum diameter of said plug member frustoconical peripheral surfaces, and said plug members entering opposite ends of said core and wedge engaging and deforming the opposite inside borders of siad core to provide drive couplings therewith.
