Letters Patent No, 102,310, dated April 26, 1870.
IMPRovED :snoop/L,
-The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part. of the sarna.
To all whom it may concern of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification, in which- Figure -1 is a perspective view.
Figure 2 is a sectional view.
The nature of' myinvention consists in providing a broom with a metallic band around the brush in such a manner as to strengthen, protect, and keepthe brush in its propel' place.
To enable others skilledin the art to make an'd use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
I construct my broom in any of the known forms. The brush may be ymade of broom-corn or other material.
In using a new broom, especially if the brush is long, it often wears off rst on one corner, the brush becomes crooked, and the broom is rendered nearly worthless beforev half worn out. To obviate this, I provide a metallic band around the brush, shown at B on the broom A, g. 1, so constructed as to be applied to any ordinary broom.
The ends of theband are claspedl together, and the band held firmly in its place by tiesor rivets through both the band and the broom, as hereinafter more fully described.
l make the band B of hoop-iron, brass, or any other suitable material, bent so as to conform to the shape of the broom, as shown at B, gs. 1 and 2.
`The ends of the band are made to clasp or button together, one end being provided with a clasp or( button, C, on the inside, riveted to the band, leaving a suicient shoulder between the button and band to fitv closely in the slot for the eye-hole d in the other end of the band. A
The button or clasp C, I make either round, oblong, or square, and the-eye and slot in the other end to correspond to the size of said button. I make two or more eyes, d d, that the band may be adjusted to different-size brooms.
In order to keep the band in its proper place when on the broom, I provide two or more metallic ties through the band and broom, to hold the sides of the band lirmly against the broom, shown in fig. 1.
I make small slots in the band, x, x, x, x, y, and y2, for the ties to pass through. The slots are made either lengthwise or crosswise of the band, as shown atx and y.
The metallic tie is made of sheet metal, and formed as shown at S, with a head on one end and the two points to form the other when bent over, as shown at S. This tip is known as the McGill Paper-Fastener.
I also use for the same purpose a metallic tie lnade as shown at h-a single strip of suitable sheet metalone end being doubled over to form a head, and the other end made pointed, which is doubled over simi- Iar to the upper end of the tie S2.
For heavy brooms, to make the end of the tie bent over more secure, I make a small-puncture similar to, and on each side of, the slot x or 1 to tuck the end or ends of the tie in, after being bent over, shown at y.
The operation of applying the baud is as follows;
I pnt the band around the broom, clasp the ends together by thev button in one of the eyes d, according to the sizeof the broom; then put a tie through one of `the slots and brush, press the band together, and bend over the points of the tie, as shown. This keeps the band firmly against the brush, and not only serves to keep the band in its place, but makes the ybrush more even and uniform. As the brush begins to wear oil' in using the broom, the band may be moved up.
With the use of this band a broom may be made to wear at least one-third longer than without such band.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv
The application to the brush of a broom an adjustable band, B, made of iron or other suitable metal,
provided with a clasp, 0, and two or more eyes, d d; also, the slots x, y, and y2, substantially as herein described, together with the use and arrangement of two or more metallic ties, S and h, or their equivalents, for the purpose set forth.
