UNITE THOMAS H. POWERS, OF WVYOOENA, WISCONSIN.
BROOM AND BRUSH.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 14,883, dated May 13, 1856.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS H. POWERS, of lVyocena, in the county of Columbia, State of lVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broom- Corn Brooms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a broom constructed after my invention. Fig. 2, is a detached perspective view of some of the parts employed for fastening the wisps together. Fig. 3, is a side view of the screw. Fig. 4 is a broken view of the ferrule with the female nut in which the tightening screw works.
Similar letters of reference in each of the several figures indicate corresponding parts.
The nature of my invention consists in a peculiar construction of frame, composed of links and rods which surround the broom, and hold it in connection with a conical socket which is provided with a T shaped follower for drawing the wisps of corn into it.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction.
The hollow, flattened cone a oval at its base, and the T follower b drawn toward the apex c of the cone, by means of the nut k, in the handle 2' z 2', equally compresses the broom corn against the interior of the hollow cone and holds it more firmly in position than any other contrivance or device which can arrange the wisps into the form used for brooms, brushes, et cet.
The hanging links or guys e and f when fastened to the mass of broom corn, as shown in Fig. 1, of' the drawing, entirely prevent any individual wisp from escaping or falling out, or becoming displaced from the utensil or liberated from the cap or flattened cone a. The eyes of the said links receive the hooks of two metal rods placed on each side of the broom, each fastened to it and connected to the other by sewing through and through, also forming a frame holding the broom corn in its place, and without the aid of the T follower, securing the position of the broom corn within the cone a.
The curved metal rods 9 and it can either be entirely disengaged by unhooking or by their curvature enlarge the aperture between them, when necessary to re-fill the cone.
The combination of the links hanging from cap or flattened cone with the curved metal rods compose a frame which confines and compresses the material without destroying its elasticity.
The projection of the flattened sides of the conical shell (Z, in convex form protects and strengthens the material used in the construction of brooms, brushes, et cet., made of corn.
The mode of securing the broom, by means of the flattened cone and T, follower I do not claim, such device, in itself, not being new, but
What I do claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The frame composed of links and rods, which surround the broom and hold it in connection with the cone, as herein described.
B. K. MORSELL, I. WOODLE.
