Ball cleaning and polishing machine

Abstract

A ball cleaning and polishing machine is provided comprising a housing, a cleaning barrel extending vertically upwards from the housing and having a cylindrical interior surface, a turntable adapted to support a plurality of game balls within the cleaning barrel and provided with a cleaning fabric remaining in contact with the game balls, an impeller coaxially mounted above the turntable for rotation relative to the turntable and for keeping the game balls isolated from one another, and an electric motor drivingly connected to the turntable for causing the turntable to rotate such that the game balls can be rubbed with the cleaning fabric. Provided on the interior surface of the cleaning barrel is a cushion lining which has a plurality of protuberances each substantially uniformly spaced apart in a circumferential direction of the lining. The machine also employs a squeezable see-through fluid container which can be replaced with a new one when the cleaning fluid runs dry.
