R. SWISKY.
BRUSH.
APPLICATION FILED APR. 11. 1919.
1,81 6 ,856. Patented Sept. 23, 1919.
ROBERT SWISKY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
BRUSH.
Specification of Letters Patent. if Patented Sept. 23, 1919.
Application filed April 17, 1919. Serial No. 290,822..
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT SWISKY, citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brushes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates generally to improvements in brushes, but relates more particularly to the improvements in brushes designed for use with velour hats and the like.
Hats made of velour and similar materials comprise a hat body, on the outer part of which will be found a relatively long nap. The nap on a hat when new stands outabruptly from the body portion and adds to the beauty thereof. In use, however, the elements soon destroy the initial placing of the nap and cause it to lie down and thereby destroy the appearance of the hat or other garment.
The general object of my invention is to provide a means of restoring the nap to its initial form or position.
Another object of my invention is to provide a brush which can be producer at low cost, which shall be simple in construction; which shall be durable; and which shall be conveniently adapted to the purpose intended.
My invention consists generally in the form, arrangement, construction and co-action of the parts whereby the above named object together with others that will appear hereinafter are attainable, and my invention will be more readily understood by reference to the drawings which show the preferred form thereof.
In said drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a brush embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section thereof.
The brush as here shown is composed of several layers of canvas or other woven fabric 1, through which a large number of U-shaped wire members 2 are inserted, the upper portion 3 thereof lying along the upper part of the fabric body 1. These U-shaped wire or staple members 2 are staggered with relation to each other and therefore, present a very large number of wire ends 1, which as shown, are substantially in the same plane.
he wlre members 2 are individually relatively small, but they are provided in such large number that in the aggregate they are easily able to engage the nap and reposition 1t tolts normal position without becoming deformed. y
In the operation of restoring the nap of a velour hat or other garment to its initial upstanding condition, the brush is moved aga nst the nap, thus picking it up from its laid down position causing it to stand out abruptly from the body of the hat. In this operatlon it is desirable that the whole surface of the hat or other garment shall present a uniform appearance and it should, therefore; be touched only by the wire bristies of the brush and should not be rubbed or engaged by the fingers while brushing.
A5 a matter of conveniently enabling the user to so brush the hat, I prefer to provide the brush with an upstanding central portion 5, which is of appreciable thickness and height so that it may serve as a handle. As here shown the handle 5, comprises an inner piece of cardboard 6, which in turn is covered by a flexible outer covering 7, preferably of leather or imitation leather, such that portions thereof may be secured over the body 1 and serve to hide the upper part of the U-shaped wires 2.
The covering material 7 is preferably sewed at the ends as indicated at 8 to form a complete cover for the cardboard or stiffening material 1.
With the centrally disposed handle 4: there is no danger of the user disturbing the'nap after it has properly been positioned by the wires of the brush and the operation of brushing the hat can be accomplished quickly and thoroughly.
The device is at once simple, inexpensive and admirably adapted to the uses intended.
In order that the proportions of the parts may be better understood, I might state that the brush illustrated is approximately one and one-half inches in width, two inches in length, and that the wire bristles thereof are approximately three-fourths of an inch in length.
I claim: i
1. A brush for velour hats and the like comprising a flexible body having a large number of fine wire bristles secured therein, and a relatively narrow ridge-like handle upstanding from the central part of the brush arid secured thereto to permit flexing of the brush body.
2; A brush for velour hats and the like eomprisin a flexible body having a large flexible covering, said flexible covering also number 0 fine wire bristles secured therein, being secured to the upper face of the brush a, relatively narrow ridge-like handle upbody. 10 standing from the central part of the brush I11 testimony whereof, I have hereunto and secured thereto to permit flexing of the set my hand, this 1st day of April, 1919.
brush body, said handle being composed of an inner stiifening member and an outer ROBERT SVVISKY.
