v' v SINK CLEANING IMPLEMENT l I Filed Nov. 26, 1927 "lllmllllllm Nunlrlti Patented May 27, 1930 UNITED STATES oFi-icn HENRY CAVE, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO THE FULLER BRUSH COM- PANY, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, A CORFOR-ATION OF CONNECTICUT SINE-CLEANING IMPLEMENT Application filed November 26, 1927. Serial' No. 235,984.
My invention relates more especially to that class of implements employed for cleaning kitchen sinks, and an'object of my invention, among others, is the production of an implement of this class that shall be simple in construction and particularly efficient in operation.
One form of implement embodying my invention and in the construction (nd use of which the objects herein set out, as Well as others, may be attained, is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a side view of my improved sink scraper.
Figure 2 is a similar view, but looking from a point located at right angles to the point of view of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an end view of said implement.
Figure 4 is a view showing the brush disconnected from the scraper.
Figure 5 is a View of the opposite end of the implement shown in Figure 3.
Figure 6 is a View illustrating the scraper with the brush holding clip projecting from the back instead of from the scraper blade.
Figure 7 is a side view of a portion of the structure shown in Figure 6.
Fig. 8 is a perspective view of Figure 2, from the opposite side, With the brush removed. A
My improved sink cleaning implement, which is illustrated and described herein, embodies a scraper and a brush both of which are so arranged, one With respect to the other, that they may be readily employed for the iurposes for which they are intended and Without interfering one With the other. rhe scraper portion also functions as a foot or extension brace placed upon a supporting surface or suspended from a Wall With the brush projecting away from the said surface or Wall. rlhis improved implement embodies a handle 6 that may be made of any suitable material, in the structure herein shown this being coniposed of metal that is bent into tubular form and with an ear 7 at its outer end through Which a hole may be formed to provide a means for hanging the implement. The end of the handle opposite the ear 7 in the strucfor the implement Whenture herein shown, comprises a support for a scraper and a brush, but this support need not necessarily be formed integral With the handle. In the preferred form of implement, however, means for supporting the brush and scraper are formed integral with the handle, said support and handle comprising a single piece of metal that, at its end, is flattened and opened out, as illustrated in Figure. 4, to provide branching side parts 8.
A scraper 9 projects from the support at this end of the handle, this scraper 'comprising a blade having a Working edge 10, its opposite edge being united With the support. This edgeopposite the Working edge 10 is provided with a brush holding lip 1l. By inspecting the various l'igures, it will be noted that the scraper 9 also functions as an angular extension brace or foot Which extends transversely in opposite directions from the axis of the handle a sufficient distance to balance the implement When placed upon a surface, such as the top of a table, With the blade down. The brush, to be described at a later point, then would be held elevated from the surface and the implement Would not roll or topple over. The foot or eXtension also Will operate to advantage When the implement is hung upon a Wall.
In the preferred form of construction, and as shown herein, the scraper blade 9 is formed as an integral part of the back 12 of the attened end of the handle or support, said blade being bent at an angle to said back, and as illustrated in Figure 4 of the drawings. In this form of thestructure the lip 11 is composed of metal bent outwardly and thereby creating an opening 13. The ends of the side parts 8 are provided With notches 14 so spaced from the lip 11 that the back 15 of a brush 16 may be entered between said ends and said lip and in the vnotches 14. The notches and lip are formed to closely fit the back l5, as shown in Figure 1 of thedrawings, so that the brush is securely held in place.
From this construction it Will be seen that the brush and'scraper project substantially in opposite directions from their support, as the end of the handle 6, and the structure is such that when the brush becomes Worn it may be readily removed, the lip 11 springing suficiciently to permit this removal. A new brush may be then readily secured in position to take the place of the old brush and it does not, therefore, become necessary, When the brush becomes Worn, to discard the Whole implement.
In that form of the device shown in Figures 6 and 7 the brush holding` clip is eX- tended from an opening formed in the back 12, but from the opposite side of said opening from that shown in the preceding figures. This is a very advantageous feature, the back 15 of the brush being held between this clip g 17 and the ends of the side parts 8, as in the preceding ligures, and stifening elements are formed between the blade and the back 12 by depressing the metal around the angle be- .tween the back and blade, thus creating ribs y 18 to serve as a holding means for securing the blade rigidly in its position.
In accordance With the provisions of the patent statutes I have described the principles of operation of my invention, together with the device Which I novv consider to represent the best embodiment thereof; but I desire to have it understood that the device shown is only illustrative and that the invention may be carried out by other means and applied to uses other than those above set out Within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim- 1. A cleaning implement formed of sheet metal and including a handle, a support including side flanges at the end of the handle with notches in the ends of said flanges, and a resilient lip projecting from said support in position to clamp a brush Within said notches.
2. A cleaning implement formed of sheet metal and including a handle, a support at the end of the handle, a brush holder element including a lip projecting` from the edge of an opening in said support, and brush ref; ceiving elements on said support, one of said elements being resilient to removably retain a brush in place.
3. A cleaning implement formed of sheet metal and including a handle, a support including a back at the end of the handle, a resilient clamping lip projecting from the edge of an opening in said back to clamp a brush in place, and means on said support to receive said brush in opposition to said clamping lip.
4. A cleaning implement formed of sheet metal and including a handle having a support for removably holding a brush at one end thereof, said support including a flared portion having edge flanges, and a resilient lip extending transversely of the ends of said iianges to clamp a brush thereagainst.
5. A cleaning implement including a pressed metal handle formed with an eXtension arranged transversely of its axis, and a resilient lip projecting from the edge of an sion.
HENRY CAVE.
