Shoe-Brushes.
NO IS'ISO, l Patented Nov.24,1874.
UNITED STATES PATENT )EEIGEo C. OAKFORD KELLY AND ISAAC N. KELLY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PA.
IMPROVEMENT IN sHoE-BRusHEs.
` Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 157,180, dated November 24, 1874; application filed October 22, 1874.
To all whom it may concern: Y
Be it known that we, C. OAKEonD KELLY and ISAAC N. KELLY, both of the city and county of Philadelphia and State ot Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shoe-Brushes; and we do hereby declare the following to be a clear and eX- act description of the nature thereof, sufficient to enable others skilled in the art to which our invention appertains to fully understand, make, and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making part of this specification, in which- Figure lis a side view of the device embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a frontend view thereof. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view thereof.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Our invention consists of a shoe-brush, pret'- erably of a circular form, a scraper on the back thereof for the removal of mud and other substances from boots and shoes, a handle, and a dust-brush attachment at the opposite side of the handle.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a brush for blacking or polishing boots or shoes, and B the handle thereof. To what may be termed the forward portion or head ot' the brush there is secured a scraper, C, which projects from the back of said brush, and said scraper maybe made of metal, or other suitable material.
It will be seen that the scraper is so located in relation to the handle B that the greatest control is had over the scraper, whereby it maybe used most advantageously for reaching every particle of mud, dirt, or other hard material adhering to the boot or shoe, the exposed angles of the scraper being available for entering spaces between the soles and uppers, and such as occur elsewhere.
The harder matters having been loosened or broken, the dust thereof, or closely-adhering particles not removable by the scraper, will be subjected to the action ot' the dust-er D, and thus brushed or dusted sufficiently for the application of the blacking, and subsequent polishing operation. This duster consists ot' a series of bristles, or other brush material, projecting rearward from the end of the handle B, where it is most conveniently situated, and does not interfere with the grasping of the handle, the location of the scraper and duster occupying positions at opposite ends of the brush, and utilizing said ends.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The shoe-brush consisting of the brush A, the scraper C, permanently secured thereto and projecting from the upper'side ot' the forward end of the brush, and the duster D, projecting from the rear of the handle B, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
