ing rag may be secured over the bristles and,

if so done, the Vmovement of the bristles forces the wax out of the rag in spite of the glazing of the rags waxing surface. brushes have been made for a long time with l" short or long handles. The objection to the brushes has been that in the case of the short handle brush the use-r is obliged to kneel while polishing which makes the labor very much more tiresome and with the long handled brush it is diticult to exert the required amount of pressure. The brushes have been weighted but in such cases the center of gravity being high they have a tendency to turn over and the weight striking the iioor or furniture causes denting and scratching.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide a waxing brush with the point of application of the pressure exerted by the user below the center of. gravity ofthe weighted brush in order to avoid the tripping over of the brush when in use. Still another object of the invention is to provide removable weights for the brush. A further object of the invention is to provide means for securing a waxing cloth over the bristles of the brush to apply the wax. Other objects of the invention will appear more fully hereinafter.

Referringto the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of afdevilce einbodying the principles of my inventiom Figure 2 is a` longitudinal sectional view of Figure 1 along the line 2, 2, looking in the direct-ion of the arrows.

Figure 3, is a cross sectional view ofvFigure 1, along the line 3, 3, looking in the direction of the arrows.

1 is the base or body of the brush having bristles 2 secured therein in the usual inanner. Around the exterior of the 'body 1, I propose to provide a felt or rubber covering 3 to prevent injury to any furniture or woodwork in case the brush is struck against the same. A. casting 5 is secured by bolts 4 to body 1. Casting 5 is formed in a hollow Such square. Centrally in the'base `ofi-the side` walls of casting 5 are cylindrical ends 7 of casting 3, which latter is threaded to receive wood handle 9. Such construction permits of quick assembly and enables the user of the brush toA make longer strokes as the handle is permitted to pivot to a lower angle by reason of the U shaped ends, of casting 5.

Upon the top of body 1, I provide four 1 pointed pins 10 which have sloping holes or chambers 11 in vweight 12 to receive said pins, the base of weight 12 is supportedlo'n-v gitudinally by feet 13. The function of the feet 13 is to permit a cloth 14 to fit under the weight 12 and over the pins 10 in the chambers 11. The pins 10 hold the cloth 1li from withdrawal. TWeight 12, also, is adapted to fit around casting` 5 and is cut out'at one end to permit weight 12 to be removed by lifting it from casting 5, against the ac-A tion of springs .16, and by turning the weight 12 through a 90 degree angle to pass the narrow sid-e of casting 8 through the open ing in the end of weight 12. The casting 8 must be held perpendicular to permit reinoval of the weight. Should springs 16 become weak, such construction prevents the weight in case of accidental dislodginent from falling olf the brush onto the floor and inarring its surface. weight 12 may be grooved so that the handle may pivot to a sharp angle with the body 1 of the brush. Weight 12 has cut out notches 15 to receive springs 16, said springs being fastened between casting 5, and base 1, of thebiush. Pressure of springs 16 will hold weight 12, vin a rigid position on the brush.

I have referred to various parts of the device as castings but I do not desire to be limited to such use or manufacture Vas forgiugs might just as w-ell -be used.

It will therefore vbe seen that I provide a very simple efficient floor waxing or polishing brush wherein the weights may be varied to suit the occasion for instance, when applying the wanr the weight to be usedis twenty-five pounds while when polishing al 7 or 8 pound weight will be substituted. It will also be noticed that the center of pressure exerted by the user is centrally ofthe brush and below the center of gravity of the weight and therefore the brush is practically untiltable and will not injure the sembled and cheap to manufacture.

The other end of Vhat I claim is:

A brush 'comprising bristles, a base' for said bristles, a casting secured to said base, a handle pivotally secured to said base by said casting, a removable Weighton said base surroundino said casting, said handle being of narrow Width adjacent the pivotal connection, one side ofl said Weight having a narrow' slot7 said slot being of a greater Width than that of said handle adjacent the l0 pivotal connection to permit of removal ot the Weight when raised and rotated through an angle of ninety degrees.
