B. WAGNER. Tip for Broom Handles.
Patented March 22,1881.

ERNEST WAGNER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
TlP FOR BROOM-HANDLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,126, dated March 22, 1881. Application filed J nne 12, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ERNEST WAGNER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tips for Broom-Handles, which improvement is fully set forth int-he following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tip embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 illustrates the application of the tip to a broomstick.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
My invention consists of a tip formed of durable material and adapted for successive use on other broom handles. The tubular portion of the tip is partly occupied by the neck of the knob, and the wall of the unoccupied portion of the tube is prevented from being broken out by side strain when sweeping, owing to its metallic nature. The neck of the knob may be firmly or tightly driven into the metallic tube without danger of splitting the latter, and any desired soft covering for the knob is held in place by being clamped between the base of the knob and edge of the tube. When the broom is worn out or the broomstick is broken the tip is removed, and its condition is such that it may be applied to another broom and render service anew, and successively continue this for many brooms. The knob being wood simulates the nature of the broom-handle, and as its neck is within the tube its attachment to the tube is strong and not liable to be overcome by general service of the tip.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the tip for a broom-handle formed of a tube or thimble, a, and knob b, the tube being adapted to be fitted loosely on and occupy the end of the broomstick. The knob 1) projects from one end of the metal tube a, and is formed of a block of wood, with a.covering, a, of cloth, felt, plush, fur, or other fabric or material soft to the touch, and it has a neck, 11, which is driven into the tube, thus firmly connecting them, said neck occupying part of said tube. When the covering 0 is employed it is secured in position by having its edge clamped between the head of the knob and contiguous edge of the tube a.
It will be seen that during the operation of sweeping the palm of one hand comes in contact with the knob b as a cushion, which, being soft, yielding, and easy to the touch, relieves the hand from harshness and permits the work to be accomplished with greater facility, the knob affording a good graspingpiece for the end of the stick.
When the broom is worn out the tip is removed, and it may then be applied to another broomstick.
I am aware that swiveled sleeves of rubber have been fitted to broom-handles, and that tips of soft rubber have been applied to the ends of such handles; but they do not accomplish what is presented by my constructionviz., adaptability for successive use, atfording a rigid stop or hard surface for the wear and thrust of the broomstick end, and a hard wall which will not twist or slip off by the side strain or leverage produced by using the tip when in position. Hence I havemade an improvement in the art and therefore I claim as my invention- As a new article of manufacture, the broomhandle tip constructed of the metallic tube A and the connected wooden knob 12, the latter having a narrow neck which occupies a portion of the former, all as set forth.
, ERNEST WAGNER.
