Patented Apr. 11, 1933 UNITED STATES RALPH YUTTS, F MIAMI, rLoRIDA FABRIC? DUSTER Original application filed August 3, 1931, Serial No. 554,847. Divided and this application filed October 29,
1931. Serial This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of fabric dusters commonly used in barber shops for brushing off the patrons about the neck and face and dusting powder thereon to prevent the short hairs from sticking to the face and neck, and is a division of copending application filed by Ralph Yutts on August 3, 1931, Serial Number 554,847.
The primary object of this invention, is to provide a device of the above mentioned character which may be formed of a single piece of fabric or paper which will produce better results than has heretofore been attained.
A still further object of this invention is to provide a removable fabric or paper duster adapted to be fastened in a suitable holder.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a duster of the foregoing character wherein the wisps of the several plies extend in opposite directions or in crossed relations to increase the brushing efficiency of the duster in all directions of use thereof.
Other objects and advantages of the invention, will become apparent during the course of the following description, forming a part of this specification and in which,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a blank of fabric or paper bent upon itself twice ready to be slit along one longitudinal edge;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a single piece of fabric or paper bent once upon itself and having one longitudinal edge slit angularly and again folded as in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a vertical cross-sectional View through the fabric showing the different folds; and
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the completed duster after the fabric has been folded or 40 otherwise brought together.
In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustrating the invention and wherein like reference characters will be employed to designate like parts throughout the sa1ne,the reference character 5 will generally be employed to designate a piece of fabric, bent upon itself as at 6 so that the free ends 7 are of the same length. The piece of fabric 5 may then be folded again on itself as illustrated by the reference character 8 in Figure 1.
After the fabric 5 has been bent upon itself to provide a desired number of folds one longitudinal edge is slit as at 9 diagonally across the fabric at an acute angle to the longitudinal edges of the fabric to provide wisps, and the slit portion may extend from one longitudinal edge to approximatelyone or two inches from the other edge in order to produce a handle portion or stub to be received in a holder particularly adapted for this type of duster. The slitted folds are again folded so vthat the wisps of one set of plies will extend angularly across the wisps of an adjacent set of plies.
If desired, the paper 5 may only be folded once as at G and then one longitudinal edge slitted or cut along the entire length of the folded portion after which it may be folded as at 8 as shown in Figure 2, to produce double plies 10 and 11 as illustrated in Figure 3. In this manner, the slits 9 of the plies 10 will extend angularly in one direction while the slits 9 as shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 will extend angular-ly in the opposite direction.
It has been found that a better duster is produced by arranging the fabric before slitting as last described but in any event, a dusterV having the angularly disposed slits along one longitudinal edge produces a duster having a larger iiare as illustrated in Figure 4, thanV those produced by merely slitting the longitudinal edge at right angles to the edge as has heretofore been the common practice.
After the elongated strip of fabric 5 is slitted and folded, it may be bunched as illustrated in Figure 4 so that the unslit portions 12 may be tied with a piece of wire, string or the like designated by the reference character 13. It will be noted that the slitted portion of the fabric after it has been bunched assumes a conical formation producing at the bottom a larger dusting area than can be accomplished by merely slitting the longitudinal edge at right angles to the edge as has heretofore been the general practice. In the duster formation illustrated in Figure 4, the wisps produced by thev acute angle cuts or slits causes the wisps of adjacent plies to extend in opposite crossed directions when the plies are bunched. This formation assures more efficient hair removal as the ends of the Wisps are presented in opposite directions and are more effective in hair removal during use when the duzster is moved in opposite directions. Also, the particular angular disposition of the Wisps permits better carrying qualities as a powder earrier with the consumption of dusting powder reduced.
I claim:-
v l. A duster of the character described, comprising a sheet of material folded upon itself to provide a handle portion, and a bristle portion including a plurality of Wisps, said Wisps being formed by diagonal slits in the sheet material so that the Wisps will extend the length of the bristle portion and flare outwardly at their free ends in a helical fashion.
2. In a duster, a sheet of material having diagonal strips at one edge and folded upon itself to provide a handle shank and a duster portion, said duster portion comprising a plurality of Wisps formed by the diagonal slits With the Wisps extending in relatively angular crossed relations.
3. A duster formed of superposed and hunched sheet material with acutely angled slits extending inwardly from one edge defining Wisps with the Wisps of adj acent sheets extending in relatively angular crossed relations.
4. A duster formed of superposed and hunched sheet material and having a handle shank end and a flared cluster end, the iared duster end comprising a multiplicity of wisps with the ivisps of one sheet extending angularly across the Wisps of an adjacent sheet.
5. A duster formed of superposed sheet material and having a handle shank end and a flared duster end, the flared duster end comprising a multiplicity of Wisps with the Wisps of one sheet crossing the Wisps of an adjacent sheet and the Wisps of one sheet having their dusting ends extending in directions angular to the Wisps of the adjacent sheet.
In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
RALPH YUTTS.
