SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,410, dated April 19, 1881.
Application led March 19, 1881.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN B. HALBERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Longwood, in the county of Orange and State of Florida, have invented or discovered a new and useful Improvement in the Art ofMaking Brushes, whereby I am enabled to produce a new and useful article of manufacture, of which the following is a specication.
In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated a brush constructed according to my invention.
Figure l is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal vertical sectional view.
I take the green palmetto-root, which is cut into the desired length and shape, out of which the brush is formed, with the grain of the root ruiming vertical, so that the bers thereof will form a material and answer the purpose of bristles of a brush. The pith or fibrous portion of the roots is then removed by being hammered out at one end of the block to a greater or less distance, which leaves the brous portion A of the root projecting from the remaining portion, B, of the block of sufficient stiffness and thickly studded or set to form the tuft of the brush. The stiffness of the tutt or bristle of projecting bers forming the brush properis determined by the length ofthe berprojections. The greater the distance the pith is removed from the block the longer and softer will be the brush.
The ber of the palnletto-root makes a su-y perior, tough, elastic brush, and has superior merit over any material now in use.
(Model.)
The backingofthe brush is formed of the root itself, and may be made of any desired shape or form and attached to any of the well-known brush-handles now in use.
The object of my invention is to make from the palmetto-root brushes of all kinds and adapted to the various uses known to theart.
A brush has heretofore been constructed from the bark of bass-wood reduced to a ber at one end, several pieces of such wood being bound and held together by a ferrulc, in which is tted a handle; but a brush constructed in this manner does notpossess the peculiar characteristics of a brush constructed according to my invention, and is not claimed by me.
What I claim as my invention isl. The process of making a brush from the palmetto root by cutting the same into blocks of the desired shape and removing the pith surrounding the ber from one portion of the block, so as to leave projecting bers to form the tuft of the brush.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a brush made from a palmetto-root in which the pith is removed from the ber in a portion of the block, which ber forms the tuft of the brush.
Inltestimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JNO. B. HALBERT.
