FRITZ BRt'rPBAcHER, or NEW YORK, 1v. Y.
FOLDING BRUSH.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, FRITZ BRtirnAcHnR, a citizen of the Swiss Federal Republic, and resident of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Brushes, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to brushes, and has for one of its objects to provide a simple and inexpensive handle for a brush which serves at the same time as a protecting cover for the body of the brush, when not in use.
Another object of the invention is to produce a device of this character which is simple in construction, efficient in operation, and which can be readily and economically assembled.
With these and other objects in view, which will more fully appear as the nature of the invent-ion is better understood, the same consists in the combination, arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that many changes may be made in the size and proportion of the several parts and minor details of construction within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
One of the many possible embodiments of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan View of a brush constructed in accordance with the present invention in its extended operative position; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the brush showing the same also in its extended position; and Fig. 3 is a section taken through the brush in its folded state.
In the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the body of the brush, comprising a straight longitudinal strip provided with two or more rows of bristle tufts 5, 5. This body is, preferably, made of wood and, preferably, inclosed by a metallic covering 6, which is riveted or otherwise attached to the wooden body. The body of the brush is hingedly secured at 7 to the handle, which comprises a rectangular box-like structure, constructed of two hollow sections 8 and 9, which are hinged together at 10, each sec tion being provided with knuckles 11, 11,
Specification of Letters Patent.

through which a pintle 12 is drawn. Around the middle section of the pintle is coiled a spring 13, one end of which bears against the section 8, while its other end bears against the section 9 of the handle, tending thereby to hold the said two sections in their closed positions, shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. The body 4; of the brush is hinged, as mentioned above, at 7 to the front end of the sect-ion 8 of the handle. Around the hinge pintle 14 of the brush body is coiled a spring 15, one end of which bears against the section 8 of the handle, as shown at 16, while its other end bears against the brush body, as shown at 17. For this reason the brush body will be caused to move into the position shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings out of the handle section to which it is attached as soon as the two sections of the brush handle are separated. The spring 15 is substantially weaker than the spring 13, keeping thus the brush body within the handle when the spring 13 is left free to act, or in other words when the two sections of the handle are kept in their closed positions. The spring 13 forms thus the locking device of the two handle sections, while the spring '15 constitutes the extending device of the brush body.
Normally. the brush is kept within the handle sections and is thus protected. When it is intended to use the brush, the two sections of the handle are separated, whereby the spring 15 will be ready to act and cause the brush body to move into the position shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. By per mitting the section 9 of the handle to move toward the section 8, the brush is ready for operation. It will be observed that by grasping the two sections of the handle, the section 9 will be forced against the body portion 4 of the brush (Fig. 2), whereby the latter will be held in a fixed position.
What I claim is l. The combination with a brush body, of a box like handle made of two sections hinged together at their rear ends, a hinged connection between said brush body and the front end of one of said handle sections, whereby said two handle sections are adapted to inclose said brush body, and means adapted to cause automatically said brush body to move around its hinge out of the handle section to which it is fastened when the two handle sections are separated.
2. The combination with a brush body, of a box-like handle made of two sections hinged together at their rear ends, a hinged connection between said brush body and the front end of one of said handle sections, whereby said two handle sections are adapted to inclose said brush body, a spring adapted to cause automatically said brush body to move around its hinge out of the handle section to which it is fastened when the two handle sections are separated, and
a spring for holding the two handle sections with the brush body inclosed thereby against the action of said first named spring in their closed positions.
Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 25th day of May, A. D. 1912.
