Patent number: 4791693Abstract: A corn silking apparatus designed to remove the silk from ears of corn, which is characterized by a housing containing a drive gear and a driven, or idler gear. The drive gear is driven by an electric motor and carries a drive shaft and the idler gear carries an idler shaft, which drive shaft and idler shaft are spaced from each other in parallel relationship and each receive a pair of brushes that rotate in different directions. The silk is removed from individual ears of corn by placing the ears on top of and between the rotating brushes. In a first preferred embodiment, the drive shaft and idler shaft extend through the housing and are journalled for rotation in bushings located in a removable front plate and a rear end plate and the motor is located externally of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1986Date of Patent: December 20, 1988Inventor: Billy J.

Patent number: 4472851Abstract: Washing device for automatically brushing and applying cleaning fluid to a soiled implement such as a golf club. The device has a cylindrical rotating brush, cleaning nozzles for directing jets of cleaning fluid axially along the peripheral surface of the rotating brush, and hood means enclosing at least one end of the brush to capture the undeviated portion of the cleaning jet. Portions of the cleaning jet and brush are exposed while the device is in use, permitting the progress of cleaning to be determined without interruption. In a preferred mode of the invention the axis of rotation of the brush is vertical, the jets of water are directed vertically upward, and the brush is driven by a turbine powered by the same water supply that provides cleaning fluid. A self-draining basin formed integrally with the hood can be disposed about the cleaning area. The cleaning jets are preferably taken from the housing of the turbine, and are formed by nozzles comprising holes in the upper portion of the turbine housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1983Date of Patent: September 25, 1984Assignee: K & D Marketing Corp.Inventor: Clifford J.

Patent number: 4379355Abstract: A washing machine for hollowware has a washing implement mounted on a rotating shaft projected outwardly from a casing of the machine. The washing implement is covered with a hollowware to be washed having a relatively deep depth through operation of an operator, and when the hollowware is moved by means of the operator's hand(s), the washing implement rotates while contacting with the inside of the hollowware thereby removing stains therefrom. The rotating shaft is connected to either a pinion meshing with a rack, or a rotary gear meshing with a stationary gear, so that when the hollowware is subjected to reciprocating motion or rotary motion, the rotating shaft rotates on its own axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1981Date of Patent: April 12, 1983Assignee: Hukuba Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kiyoshi Kobayashi, Shuji Suga
