ATTACHMENT FOR FOUNTAIN-BRUSHES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 15, 1918.
Application led. December 29, 1916. Serial No. 139,584.
To all w71 om z't may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT E. IvnsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fall River, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Fountain-Brushes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention aims to provide an attachment for a fountain brush primarily designed for use in the washing and drying of windows, although it is susceptible for other analogous uses, being most convenient to handle in washing vehicles or the like.
One of the chief characteristics of the invention resides in the provision of means in a device of the above mentioned character, for supporting a cake of soap in juxtaposition to the brush, whereby it is only necessary to tilt the device slightly in order to apply the requisite amount of soap upon the surface being treated.
Other objects, and the nature of the invention will be apparent as the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.
In the drawing forming part of this specication like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device constructed in accordance with my invention. v
Fig. 2 is a top plan view with the handle in section.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary edge elevation showing the soap supporting means.
Referring more particularly to the drawing in detail 10 indicates generally a brush of any suitable character, and which is supported upon one extremity of a hollow handle 11. Arranged within the handle is a water pipe 12, the pipe projecting beyond the free end of the handle and is coupled as at 13 with a stop cock 14, the latter being provided with a threaded portion 15 for association with a hose (not shown). In this manner fluid may be conducted through the pipe 12 to the brush proper while the latter is being used, and when the brush has been sufficiently saturated with water or the like the valve 16 may be closed to cut off the iow of water to the brush as will be readily appreciated.
of soap has been thus applied the brush is v brought into engagement withthe surface to cleanse the same.
Secured to the head of the brush immediately above the soap supporting means is a bracket 18 which supports a substantially channel-like member 20, between the parallel branches or portions of which is secured strips 21 of any suitable material such as rubber, fiber or the like which are adapted for use in drying the surface subsequent to the washing of the latter.
In the practical use of my device, the valve in the stop cock is opened to permit the water to flow through the pipe 12 and the brush proper, and the latter moved over the surface to be cleaned. From time to time the device can be readily and easily tilted to bring the cake of soap into engagement with the surface, and by reciprocating the device in this position the proper quantity or amount of soap can be applied thereto. Subsequent to the cleansing of the surface, the valve in the stop cock is closed, although this valve can be closed at any suitable time, and the device reversed to bring the wiping elements 20 into engagement with the surface. As the elements 2O are drawn over the surface the latter is thoroughly cleansed and dried. The device in its entirety is very simple in its construction and can be most conveniently handled for the purpose intended.
While it is believed that from the foregoing description the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that what is herein shown and described is merely illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention to which I do not limit myself and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.
What is claimed is:-
1. A brush of the character described embodying a handle, a brush head carried by said handle, a plurality of spaced angular brackets projecting forwardly from said brush head 'for supporting a cake of soap in advance of the brush and in juxtaposition to the active surface thereof.
2. The combination with a brush head, of a' pair of spaced angular brackets terminating at one end in eyes, means passing through said eyes for securing said brackets tothe head of the brush with( the Vopposite extremities of said angular brackets arranged in` parallelism With the bristles of the brush, said angular brackets being adapted to support a cake of soap in ad- Vance of and in juxtaposition to the brush.
In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
ALBERT E. IVEsON.
