UNTED STATES JOHN H. MOORE, OF HUNTINGTON, WEST VIRGINIA.

Application filed January 16, 1923. Serial No. 612,959.

rlhis invention relates to dusters and the art of making them but more specifically' it relates to that form of duster in which the interior part of the dust members is attached to and over a knob on the end of the handle and bent down and secured in place by outer dust members bound to the handle adj aeent the interior brush members and the art of making such dusters.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a side View of my duster completed and ready for use.

Figure 2 is a View of the duster end of the handle showing the knob thereon around and to which the cluster materials are attached.

Figure 3 is a View of that part of the handle shown in Figure 2 showing the first stage in the construction of the duster.

Figure t is a View of the brush showing the duster material attached to the knob bent over the knob and the outer layer of the material being applied to the handle.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary View of the fabric strip or fibre which is to be attached directly to the knob of the handle.

Figure 6 is a fragmentary View of the slitted fabric strip used in forming the outer part of the duster.

In the drawing the handle as a whole is designated by the numeral l. On the outer end of the handle is a ring member 2 attached by any suitable means and used for supporting or carrying the duster about. On the inner or duster end of the handle there is formed a knob 3 over and to which the duster elements are to be attached. The duster itself is composed of two parts, an inner one secured oyer the knob and an outer one secured to the handle adjacent the knob and completely enveloping the rst part. The inner part of the duster is composed of strips i which have their central part securely bound over the end of the knob by means of cord or strings rIhestrips Li are shown to be made of fabric material but may be of any other suitable material. After the strips 4; have been securely attached to the knob end of the handle as shown in Figure 8 the ends of the strips are brought over the knob to part of the duster. After the brush has reached this stage of construction the piece of fabric such as shown in Figure 6 is wrapped around the duster as already'eonstructed and securely attached to the handle adjacent the knob by means of a cord 9. The fabric piece 6 before being attached to the handle is cut into strips 8 by means of slits 7. These slits extend all the Way from one edge of the strip to within a short distance of the other edge leaving a part on one edge of the strip by which all of the strips S are held toget ier. It is the unslit part of the strip 6 that is attached to the handle. After the fabric piece G has been secured to the handle as above describe-flL there is wound around the handle part of the strip 6 and the adjacent handle a cord which forms binding means such as that shown by the numeral l0 in Figure l. The duster element as a whole is indicated by the numeral 11. l

I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I consider as new and wish to protect by Letters Patent, is:

In a duster, a handle having a knob on the end thereof, strips of fabric material sccured at their middle part over the cnr. of the knob and having their free ends bent away from the handle to form the inner part of the cluster, and a piece of slitted fab 'ic material wrapped around the handle and secured adjacent the knob, the slitted ends forming the outer part of the duster.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOI-IN H. MOORE.
