INVENTOR, Joiflz A TTORNE Y.
Patented Sept. 8, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JOHN R. FISH, OF WEST SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO EMERSON S. SEAR'LE, F SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS HOLDER FOR STEEL woor.
Application filed April 3, 1926, Serial No. 99,503. Renewed January 31, 1931.
This invention relates to improvements in holders for steel wool which is used for cleaning purposes, especially for metals of difierent kinds of which kitchen utensils are made as aluminum, copper, tin or iron, also for painted and varnished surfaces, glass, Windshields, woodwork, and tile work.
An object of the invention is to provide a holder for this material toprevent the fine particles of the metal from injuring the hand quantity of the material and then the opposite parallel edges are compressed together and retained by means of a metal binding material which is substantially U shaped in cross section. This binding material is inserted in the grooves of the hans dle and serves to temporarily attach the pad to the handle and may be readily removed when the pad becomes worn or useless. An important feature is previously preparing the metal wool so that it may readily be attached to and detached from the handle.
Referring tothe drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the handle with the polishing pad in place.
Fig. 2 is an end elevational view of the handle, the two parallel pad retaining grooves and the metal binding strips for the material inserted in the grooves.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of the steel wool and showing the opposite edges compressed and secured in place with a strip of metal.
Fig. 4c shows the polishing pad with the metal strip folded in order to bring them upward into parallel relation so that they may be readily inserted in the two grooves of the handle, or holder, and
Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view of the metal binding material or metal strip for compressing the edge of the material.
use.
Referring to the drawings in detail: 1 designates the handle or holder part of a suitable length and of a convenient size to properly it the hand, and preferably formed of hard wood in order that it may serve as a permanent handle for the pads as they become worn or useless. The handle is formed with two parallel grooves or kerfs indicated at 2. The pad itself indicated as a whole by the numeral 3 is composed of steel wool material and is formed of a length to correspond with the length of the handle 1 and of asufficient quantity to make the pad suitable for The opposite edges-4 and 5 are compressed by means of any suitable machine.
The metal binding strips 6 are then permanently secured thereto by imparting pressure thereto. The bent formation of these strips is that shown in detail in Fig. 5which permanently retains a portion of the steel w ool clamped between. the opposite sides of the strips. After the pads are formed as indicated in Fig. 3, the metal strips 6 are folded upward into the position shown in Fig. 4. which has the eflect of causing the material between these strips to be folded so as to expand substantially below the lower edge 7 of the pad 3. These binding strips are then inserted into the two openings which are of a size to fit the grooves firmly in order to retain the pad 3 attached to the handle 1. The
device is used by grasping the handle and rubbing the pad 3 over the surfaces to be cleaned, or polished. After the pad is entirely worn, it may be reversed and the inner surfaces of the pad 3 next to the bottom 8 of" i the holder 1 used for polishing or cleaning purposes. It is to be understood that the pad may be removed and cleansed, before it is used again.
It is also to be understood that I have provided a convenient holder for the steel wool pad which will prevent injury to the hands and which may be readily attached to and removed from the handle. By preforming the pad before it is attached to its holder a great deal of time is saved and pads of uniform size are always ready for use. The
shape of the metal binding strips 6 is such that they are frictionally retained in the grooves 2 when the pads are used.
The grooves 52 are preferably arranged at an angle to the vertical plane which assists in retaining the pad in place.
What I claim is:
1. A device for the purpose described comprising a handle member having grooves formed in its lower surface, a polishing member of steel wool, folded metal strips permanently clamping the opposite edges of the said material, the folded metal clamping strips being inserted in the grooves of the handle for frictionally and removably retaining the polishing member attached to the handle member.
2. A device for the purpose described comprising a handle member formed on its lower face with a pair of substantially parallel grooves which open in divergent relation to each other, a reversible polishing pad of fibrous material, folded metal strips clamping the edges or" the reversible pad, said strips being designed to be frictionally 1nserted in the inclined grooves and temporarily retaining the pad attached to the holder.
3. The combination with a holder, a steel wool pad detachably connected thereto, the holder being provided with inclined grooves and the pad having a yielding non-compressed abrasive portion and portions per-. manently compressed to form rigid edges,
clamping devices attached to said edges and V detachably inserted in said grooves.
