CLARA MAJEWSK, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
BRUSH CLEANER.
Application led December 2, 1926. Serial No. 152,289.
This invention relates to a brush cleaner and particularly to a device for cleaning hair brushes of dirt, hair and the like, which accumulates on the bristles when the brush is used.
It is an object of this invention to provide a brush cleaner from which the removed dirt and hairs may be readily discharged.
lt is a further Aobject of this invention to provide a brush cleaner embodying improved means for mounting and securing the cleaning wires or bristles.
It is also an importnat obJect of this invention to provide a brush cleaner which is inexpensive and durable and one which may be readily sterilized without 1n]ury thereto.
Other and further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the specificationand the accompanying drawings. I
The invention (in a preferred form) is illustrated on the drawings and hereinafter more fully described.
On the drawings:
Figure 1 is a bottom cleaner embodying the vention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragment-ary section on the line -II-II of Figure 1 with the handle shown in elevation.
Figure 3 is a section on the line 'III- III of Fi re 2.
s shown on the drawings: The reference numeral 1 indicates a back plate to which a suitable handle 2 may be secured. The back plate l is preferably of sheet metal construction and positioned adjas plan view of a brush cent said back plate 1 is a bristle holding plate f 3 which is provided with a plurality of depressed portions 4 which are clearly shown in Figure 3 and. which afford grooves in which rest longitudinally vextending connecting por- 'n tions 5 of pairs of wirebristles6,preferably of relatively stiffened material. Said wire bristles 6 are bent rearwardly as indicated at 7 to facilitate the cleaninglof hair and the like from the bristles of the air brush or similar brush through which they may be drawn and, as will be noted from Figure 1, the rows of bristles 6 are preferably in longitudinal alignment. The bristles 6 are secured in position relative to the back plate 1 and the plate 3 by drawing said plates together with screws 8 engaged through registering threaded apertures in said plates. If desired, the screws 8 may be replaced by rivets or other suitable principles of this in securing means which serve to hold the plates 1 and 3 together in such a manner as tu securely clamp the ortions 5 therebetween.
In order to facilitate the removal of hairs, dirt and the like, which collect on the bristlesafter u se, in olea-nin brushes, a cleaning plate 9 is provided, said plate 9 normally resting ad] acent the underside of the plate 3 and being provided with a plurality of longit-udinal slots 10 which engage over the bristles to permit movement of said plate 9 relative thereto. One end of the plate 9 is hingedly secured to the back plate 1 by suitable hinges 11 and the other end thereof is adapted to be secured to the ends of the plates l and 3 by a suitable spring friction catch 12.i It will .be evident that by releasing the spring friction catch 12, the plate 9 may be moved about the hinges 11 as indicated in Vdotted lines in Figure 2 whereby hair, dirt and the like may be stripped from the bristles G and removed to a position for convenient discharge from the aforesaid plate 9.
In view of the fact that the bristles 6 and the securing and cleaningplates conveniently lend themselves to a construction which is entirely of metal, itis obvious that the brush cleaner of this invention may be readily ster- 11ized without injury thereto.
It is further obvious that should any of the pairs of bristles 6 become damaged, they may be conveniently replaced by removing the back plate land withdrawing the damaged pair or pairs ofbristles, substituting new bristles therefor, and again clamping the plates 1 and 3,together by the screws 8. It
will be apparent that I have provided a device which may be eHectively used in cleaning' hair brushes and the like vand which is of inexpensive and durable construction. a
The cleaner of this invention further is very useful in cleaning the brushes of carpet sweepers, vacuum cleaners, etc., .of the hair, threads and other matter accumulating thereon in use. l
I am aware that numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted, otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.
I claim as my invention:
1. A brush cleaner comprising a substantially at metallic backplate, a grooved and apertured bristle holding plate, relatively stiff metallic bristles passing through the apertures in the said holdin plate and extending therebelow, said brist es having -integral portions resting in the grooves of said holdin plate and connecting adjacent longltudi- I na ly alined bristles to form rigidly posil0 grooves.
2. A brush cleaner comprising a substantially dat metallic back, a grooved and apertured bristle holding plate, the ends of said -back being downwardl Lesagoe and inwardly bent to embrace theends of t e said bristle holding plate, threaded means tightly and Iremovabl securing said plates together and pairs of ristles extending through adjacent apertures in the holding Elate having integral connecting rtions w1t in the grooves and in contact w1t the said back to stii'en and rigidly position each pair of bristles.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
CLARA MAJEWSKI.
