Description

Patented Apr. 23, 1929.
DAVID WASSERMAN, OF AMSTERDAM, NEW YORK.
COVER FOR BROOMS.
Application filed September 14, 1925. Serial No. 56,385.
This invention relates to a cover for brooms and more particularly to means "for retaining the cover on the head of the broom.
Straw brooms as sold usually have a paper cover around the heads thereof to protect the same. The main object of this invention is to provide an improved means to hold covers of this type in place so that they will not slip o Another object is to provide a securing means that can be quickly and easily manipulated, both in fastening and uniastening or tearing off the cover.
Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following specification taken in connection with the d awings, in which:
Figure 1 is an elevationof a broom showing the cover applied thereto; and
Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section through the broom head and cover showing the fastening means in position to retain the cover on the broom head.
Referring to the drawings, the broom 10 is of the usual construction, the tufts of broom straw 11 being sewed together and secured to a handle 12. The cover 13 is of the usual type, preferably made from a paper blank, the edges 14 of which are lapped and glued together to form a frusto-eonical tube but wh ich, for convenience, is folded flat in trapezoidal, Form. The dimensions of the cover are such that it will fit snugly over the broom head but will. allow a short length of the ends of the broom straws to remain uncovered as shown in the drawings.
The improved means for securing the cover in place on the broom head comprises a disk 16 secured to one side of the cones by an eyelet or other suitable means 15, while on the opposite side a flexible cord 17 is permanently attached in any suitable manner, as by an eyelet 18. The cord 17 is adapted to be drawn through the broom straws and fastened to the disk 16 by encircling the eyelet 15 one or more times, as shown in Figure 2.
In applying the cover the handle of the broom is first inserted through the large end of the cover 13, the cord being detached from the disk 16. The cover is then drawn over the broom head until it fits snugly thereon. The cord 17 is now brought over the end of the broom head and drawn between the straws after which it is Wound around the eyelet 15 several times so that it is fastened. securely.
It will thus be seen that a cover of the form described having a fastening secured to both sides of the cover and cooperating with the broom straw will be elfectively retained on the broom head. The trapezoidal form of cover permits insertion of the broom but prevents withdrawal of the cover over the large end of the broom head. After the free end of the cord has been secured the protective cover is prevented from being withdrawn in either direction. The entire construction is extremely simple, yet thoroughly effective, and may be manufactured at small cost, thus insuring an eflicient protective envelope for broom heads at minimum expense to the broom manufacturer.
Although the invention has been described in detail, it is obvious that it may he modified. It is therefore not intended that the invention be limited to the exact construction illustrated but includes such changes as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A cover for brooms comprising a frustoconical envelope open at both ends and fastening means adjacent the larger end of said envelope, said fastening means comprising a cord attached to one side of the envelo e, and a disk closely riveted to the other side of said envelope beneath which said cord is adapted to be wound, said cord bein drawn across the broom adj acent its end and caught beneath the disk.
2. A cover for brooms comprising a frustoconical envelope open at both end. ermitting the broom straws to project beyond the larger end, and fastening means adjacent the larger end of the envelope, said fastening means comprising a cord attached to one side of the envelope and a disk closely riveted to the other side of the envelope, said cord being drawn between the straws at the end of the broom and caught beneath the disk.
3. A cover for brooms com rising a frustoconical envelope open at bet 1 ends and of a length less than a broom head, the upper end of said envelope being of a diameter to limit from side to side of the broom and be enthe movement of the cover over the head so gaged by securing means on the sides of the that the broom straws project beyond the envelope to prevent removal of the envelope 1 larger end of the envelope, and fastening by frictionally engaging the straws.
5 means adjacent the larger end of said en- In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my velope, said fastening means comprising a signature.
cord adapted to be passed between the straws DAVID WVASSERMAN.
