This invention relates to improvements in brushes.
It is one of the objects of this invention to provide an improved brush which wil facilitate the cleaning of garments.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a device for steaming andbrushing clothes in one operation. v y
It is a further object of this invention to provide a brush in which the How of steam may be readily controlled fromthe handle of the device.
It is a further vobject of this invention to provide a brush having a brush holdin plate with perforations therein, through W ich a fluid such as steam may be discharged at will, to circulate among. the' bristles of the brush r It is a further object of this invention to provide a brush which is simple inl construction and operation, and which is wel] adapted for the purpose described.
With the above and other objects in View, the invention consists of the improved brush and all its parts and combinations as set forth in the claims and all equivalents thereof.
In the accompanying drawing, in which the same reference characters designate the same parts in all of the views:
the improved steam brush;
Fia. 2 is-.a transverse sectional view there of ta en on line 2-2of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3. is an; end view thereof, parts being broken away.
Referring to the drawin ,the numeral 5 designates a casing, to eac end of which, secured b screws4 6, is an upwardly extending handib holding bracket 7. Connecting the upperl ends of the handle holding brackets, and extending through a bore in a handle 8, is a horizontal rod 9, having one end threaded, as at 10, to hold the rod in place.
The casing 5 is in the shape of an inverted cup, within which there is a convex partition plate 11 formed with a central boss 12. Between thev upper portion of the casing and the partition plate is an upper steam chamber 13. Below the partitionv plate, and separated from it by a lower steam chamber 14, is a plate 15, preferably of copper. Below the copper plate and adjacent thereto,
is a strip Fig. 1 is alongitudinal vertical. section of.

Adjacent the knurled nut and on the outer end of thevalve needle is a notched member 33 having a lug 34 on its outer end. A spring 35 having one end surrounding the lug 34 and its other end surrounding a lug 36 on the handle holding bracket 7, holds the valve stem yieldingly in a closed position. A lever 37, ivoted to a projection 38 on the handle olding bracket 7, and engaging the notched member 33 with its lower end, is arranged to open or close the valve.
A steam inlet tube 39 connected to `a perforation 40 in the casing 5 admits steam into lever 37 down.
the upper chamber 13. A tube 4l connected to a perforation 42 is provided to admit compressed air to dry the garment.
The operation of the device is as follows: The upper chamber 13 is filled with steam which has been admitted under pressure from the inlet tube 39. The user grasps the handle 8, and by operation of the conveniently located lever 37, opens the valve. This causes the steam from the upper chamber to pass into the valve chamber 26 and then through the outlet 30 into the lower chamber 14. The steam in the lower chamber immediately passes through the perforations 19 and circulates among the bristles 18. The action of the steam in combination withv the brush will serve to effectively remove dirt and other foreign matter from garments. The steam may be shut off whenever it is desired by the operation of the lever 37. If a constant flow of steam is necessary, the knurled nut 32 may be loosened. This will bear against the notched member 33 and will thus open the valve and hold it in that position as long as it is desired, without making it\ necessary to hold the When the garment has been well steamed the steam supply may be shut off and compressed air admitted through the opening 41. This will tend to dry the garment which necessarily has absorbed considerable moisture from the steam.
A third opening 43 is provided as an outlet for water which has accumulated due to condensation of the steam within the chamber.
From the foregoing description, it may b seen that the improved steam brush is simple in construction and operation, and is well adapted for the purpose described.
