Brushing machine with endless bands for cleaning of soles of shoes

摘要

The machine (3) set into the floor at the entrance to a frequented building is based on a constructional unit (4) with inner and outer rectangular frames. The inner frame carries two or more endless bands driven by pulleys in a direction (G) at right angles to the path of pedestrians, with bristles (e.g. 9) which on the underside (H) are swept by supplementary brushes (52).The underside is sprayed (53, 54) with fluid in a trough (55) which is drained (56, 57) into a wastepipe (60). Two contra-rotating brushes (61, 62) apply fluid (Li) from a tank (63) in a closed circuit (65) with a pump (68) and filter (67). The pulley drive motor is switched by an optical barrier or contact switch.
