BRUSH.
Application led May 15,
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it lrnownthat I, ORAA. RUNKLE, a citizen of the United States, residing` at lVooster, in the county of Wayne and State of Ohio, have invented a new and .useful Brush, of which the following is an amended specification. l
My invention relates to improvements in brushes, and particularly to improvements in fountain brushes, so called, which provide for running water thru the bristlesl or brush material of any description, for the purpose of washing automobiles, windows, and other surfaces where the application of water is desired to be used in connection with the use of a brush for cleansing purposes. The objects of my invention are, first, to provide a fountain brush of stronger and more durable construction than has heretofore been produced, inexpensive, and
easily manipulated; and, second, to so construct the brush material and secure it in thebrush head as to provide better means for distributing the water, and more evenly, thru the bristles or brush material, than has been possible heretofore, and, lastly, to more firmly and lastingly sec-ure the bristles or other brush material in the brush head, in connection with the source of water supply, and to fasten the water supply means securely amid the surrounding bristles, or other brush material, in such manner as to distribute the inflow thereto thoroughly and evenly thruout the entire brush head, and prevent fioodage therethru, or drippings from the brush while being used, all as hereinafter fully set forth, and as stated in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters and figures of reference indicate like parts. Referring thereto, Fig. l is a perspective view of a brush embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a vertical cross sectional view of the same showing the hose connecting and water distributing means, externally; and Fig. 3 is a detail view showing a cross section of the same with partsin position as shown by dotted lines in Fig. Q.
In the drawings, B indicates the body of bristles or other brush material assembled within a ferrule A, and surrounding the water distributing means, and fastening means for securing the latter together with the brush material within the ferrule. C
is a hose connecting nut, such as are com- 1922. vserial No. 561,248. v
monly used; andjG is arnipple oir-which the nut turns in attaching a hose thereto,
the nipple having a longitudinal orifice o,
`or ferrule A, as shownin Fig. 3. It is bored from end to end to admit the nipple G tightly therein, and passage of water therethru, and rmly held in position withn in the ferrule by a sleeve D, which also crowds the bristles together forcibly in its upward drive over the surface of the plug, and prevents the wood of the plug from splitting vor becoming loose in the brush head. It also serves to so bend and shape the adjacent bristles B as to cause the water, when admitted into the brush head, to be evenly distributed among them, and such distribution is facilitated by means of a thimble F, the lower end of which is covered, while the sides are perforated with a number of orifices f, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, for the gradual and sidewise escape of the water into the mass of adjacent brush material, in the direction indicated by theV arrows in Fig. 3.
It should also be understood, that to accomplish such water distribution, the bristles or brush material are secured in a single bunch formation within the ferrule A by any suitable cement material, and that the sleeve D is to be forced toposition over the plug E while the cement is in softened condition, thereby compressing ther mass of brush material more firmly and securely together, and shaping the same around the members D and F in the manner stated, to evenly distribute the inflow of water sidewise, and prevent dripping and objectionable overfiows at the surface. The thimble F is made of thin sheet metal, and may be driven upwards into the lower edge of the plug E, or otherwise removably secured thereto, and may be of any preferred shape for a spray nozzle, and is provided with small sidewise orifices f, as above stated, immediately below the lower edge of the ferrule, whereby the water is sprayed evenly thru the mass of bristles, and out at the ends thereof, instead of pouring directly thru the more central portion of the brush.
The ferrule may be made of any desired shape, and either open or closed on top, and
may be made of any desired liexible mabrush material assembled therein, a central opening thru the brush materia-l, a tubular plug driven into saidy opening a Vlimited distance in engagement With the surrounding brush *material, a hose connecting nipple secured in the bore'of said plug, and a thiinble having lateral perforations secured to the lowerk end of said plug, substantially as set forth. p
2. A fountain brush, comprising, in coinbination, a mass of brush material assembled in cement Within a circumferential ferrule, a longitudinal opening thru the mass of said brush material, a tubular plug secured in vertical position Within said mass, a hose connecting nipple secured in the bore of said plug in operative engagement with a nut above said' mass, a sleeve tightly secured aroundv said plug Within the mass of brush material, and a thimble, having a plurality of lateral orifices, secured to Ythe lower end of said plug, substantially as set forth and for the purpose specified.
In witness whereof, I hereunto set hand this 3l day of March-1923.
