Description

Ju e 4, 1929.
L. ANDRIEU BRUSH Filed Feb. 19, 1927 Patented June 4, 1929.
UNITED STATES LOUIS ANDRIEU, OF PARIS, FRANCE.
BRUSH.
Application filed February 18, 1927, Serial No. 169,545, and in France February 25, 1926.
This invention relates to brushes for cleaning floors and the like and its object is to provide a brush of this kind which is simple in construction, which is adapted for use in connection with a packet of steel wool or other like material, and which is efficient in operation.
WVi'th the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a brush constructed and arranged in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same on the plane indicated by the line a-a of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective of a modified form of my improved brush.
My improved brush comprises a frame 1 and a shoe 3 which is freely movable therein and freely detachable therefrom. The frame is here shown as made of sheet metal but may be made of any suitable material and of any appropriate size and shape, and is open at its upper and lower sides. On the inner side of the wall of the frame at a point near its lower edge are secured a suitable number of suitably spaced feet 2 which are here shown as angular in form, each provided with an inwardly extending horizontal member 2 to the under side of which is secured a washer 6 of leather or other suitable material, which washers project below the lower edge of the frame and engage the floor when the brush is in use and facilitate soft gliding movement of the brush over the floor.
The shoe is provided with a pivotally mounted cap or socket 4: on its upper side at a point near its center for the attachment of a handle 5 for use in manipulating the brush.
The apparatus 1 being thus equipped, the shoe being lifted, a packet of steel wool P is placed in the frame whereupon the same is covered with the shoe. Now the apparatus inav be rubbed over the floor like a brush.
The pressure of the shoe 3 over or on the steel wool P and consequently on the feet 2 produces a double effect:
.1. The steel wool particles are forced to spread out, on the floor, as represented in Figure 3 and hence file the floor, rub, scratch and clean the same, removing dust and dirt.
invention in which the frame 1 is triangular,
the shoe is of corresponding form and a substantially U-shaped spring bail 8 is provided which is pivoted to one end of the frame as at 9 and the arms of which are provided with upwardly extending portions 10 which are detachably engageable with hooks 11 secured on the frame wall at the end opposite the pivot 9. The shoe is provided on its lower side with a magnetized steel plate 7 for picking up pieces of steel wool and preventing their being dropped and left on the floor.
Packets of steel wool for exchange are prepared in advance in order to permit their ready use in the apparatus.
What I claim, is
1. Apparatus for passing steel wool over floors, comprising a frame, an element corresponding in shape to the frame and inserted and freely slidable in the frame and having a handle pivoted thereto for pushing the frame over a floor in reciprocating movement, the bottom of said frame being provided with several internal feet which support a package of steel wool, said package being under the pressure of the movable element on the frame being adapted to push into and scrape and clean the floor while the frame itself is maintained in engagement with the floor by the feet the steel wool being restrained from spreading and from escaping by the periphery of the frame and thereby preventing furniture and walls from being scratched by the steel wool.
2'. A steel wool brush, as set forth in claim 1, in which the lower surface of the movable element is provided with a magnetizing plate for picking up pieces of steel wool.
In witness whereof I afiix my signature.
LOUIS ANDRIEU.
