UNITED'S TATE'S HERBERT M. STURG-IS, or KANsAscIrY, rarssounr.
HANDLE oonnsorron Application filed December s, 1923. Serial- No. 679,342.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERBERT M. STURGIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and: useful Improvements in Handle Connections; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such. as will enable Others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being. had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to brushes and particularly to a handle connection whereby the handle may be conveniently attached to the brush head to permit the brush to have a certain amount of play, so that as it is moved over the floor or surface to be scrubbed, it will have a swivel movement on the end of the handle to simulate the movement of ordinary hand scrubbing.
It is also the purpose of this invention to provide a reversible handle which will permit both sides of the brush serving as the front side; in other words, the brush is reversible with respect to the side face which will be the front or rear. It is not uncommon for the front sides of brushes to wear more than the rear sides, so by reversing the brush an even wearing of the bristles-can be maintained.
The novel construction of the invention will be clearly understoodby reference to the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a brush and handle connection constructed in accord ance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a disassociated View of the two members of the handle connection.
Fig. 3 is an assembled View of the two handle connections, and
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the socket plate applied to the brush heading.
Referring now to the drawings by numerals of reference:
1 designates a brush head of appropriate construction. The brush head carries a plate 2, struck up intermediate its ends to form a socket. The socket consists of the end straps 3, and t and the intermediate strap 5. The straps 3, and hare bent in the form of arcs in one direction and the portion 5 is also arcuate in the opposite direction,
the portion 5 being between the end of straps 3 and 4-. Alternately arranged? straps 3, i and 5 form the socket member .to receive the stem 6 on the end "of the handle head 7, which may be fastened to the handle 8 in an appropriate manner. The stem 6 carries. two oppositely disposed lugs 9 and 10, the
lug 10- being in spaced relation to, but in alignment with a complementary luig ll (see Fig. 2). hen it is desired to attach the handle to the brush: head, the handle is caused to assume the position shown in Figure 2. The lug 1.1 may therefore pass through the opening 12, so that the stem 6 F may assume the position shown in Figure 3,
with lug 11 behind the strap 3 or .4, depending upon the side that the stem 6 has entered. When the stem has been caused to assume the position shown in Figure 3, the handle is turned to bring the lug 11 around in either of the slots 13 or 14:, therefore the lug 11 will serve as a locking lug while the lugs 9 and 10 will merely serve as stop lugs.
It will be observed that the top surface 0 of the portion 5 is spaced above the brush 1, the thickness of the metal. The lug 11 projects from the stem 6 a distance approximately equal to this thickness. Therefore when the stem is in the position shown in Fig. 3, the stem can be moved longitudinally through the space 12 untilthe lug 11 contacts with one edge of the portion 5 at which time the lug 9 will abut against the outer edge of the strap 3 or the strap 4 dependent upon which direction the stem 6 is inserted, it being remembered that the stem can be introduced from either side of the plate 2. Thenthe handle is turned to the position shown in Fig. 1 sothat the strap 3 or 4 as the case may be is held between the lugs 10 and 11 constituting a secure fastening means but permitting the handle to be turned about the axis of the stem (3 and since the handle 8 is at an obtuse angle, it will be apparent that when the handle 8 isv turned to either one side or the other, the brush will be given a slight rocking movement in a horizontal plane as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1.
After'the brush has become worn the stem may be removed and inserted from the opposite side of the brush. If the alternating interchanging positions of the handle from one side to the other is followed at frequent intervals, the bristles of the brush will be worn evenly.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that I have provided a simple form of brush connection which is not only reversible but also allows for freedom of movement of the brush about the axis of that portion of the handle to which it is secured and it will also be apparent that the handle can be tilted so as to permit the brush to be pushed under low places such as kitchen cabinets, sinks, chairs and the like.
I/Vhile I have specifically described the exact details of construction of my invention, I do not Wish to be limited to the exact details shown, but I reserve the right to make such changes in form, proportion, and minor details of construction as will properly fall Within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is: a
A brush handle connection comprising a socket plate having two end arcuate loops and a center arcuate loop, the latter loop being curved in a direction opposite to the first named loops and spaced from the first named loops to provide slots and a handle member consisting of a stem inscrtiblc through an end loop from either end of the plate, and having abutment lugs engaging the outer edge of an end loop upon insertion of said stem therein, and a locking lug engaging the inner edge of said loop to lock the handle and socket plate against axial separation, said slots being provided to receive the locking lug upon insertion of the stem and to permit free relative rotation of the stem and plate.
- 4 In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
HERBERTM. STURGIS.
