Description
JAMES H. ANDERSON, OF TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN BROOMS, 86C.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 106,021, dated August 2, 1870.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES H. ANDERSON, of Terre Haute, in the county of Vigo and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tying of Brooms, Brushes, or Wisps; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a wire brace, upon which to wind the usual wire on brooms, brush-brooms, and other similar articles, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, which represent a side view of a broom-handle with my wire braces attached.
A represents a portion of the handle, around which the broom-straw Bis laid in the usual manner. On the, outside of the straw are placed, in a longitudinal position, four spirally-formed wires, a a, at about equal distanees apart. V.The ends ofthese wires are inselrted into the straw, so to prevent them `from slippingnp or down. The wire b, with which brooms are usuallybound, is then wound around the straw in such a manner that it shall come successively between the loops of the wires a a, said wires thus forming braces for the wire b, that it can slip neither up nor down, but will always remain in the same place. The wire braces a a also add to the appearance of the broom.
I am aware that corrugated strips of sheet metal have been used as braces for the same purpose; but I consider my wire braoesufar superior, for several reasons.
The binding-wire is always more or less liable to slip over the corrugations in the metal strips, especially when the broom shrinks; but with the wire braces itis impossible for the binding-wire to slip up or down. Brooms are also more easily bound by blind people when using the wire braces.
. Having thus fully described my invention,
fwhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
'lhe wire braces a a, constructed and used on brooms, brush-brooms, Ste., substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JAMES H. ANDERSON.
