' /which- JOHN IV. WHEELER, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO ALDEN B. STOCKVVELL, OF SAME PLAGE.
SPLINT-BROOM.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 24,181, dated May 24, 1859.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN WV. TWHEELER, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Splint-Brooms, the same being a new article of manufacture; and I do hereby declare that the following g is a full and complete description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in
Figure l shows the form of the splint of which the brush of the broom is composed; Fig. 2 is a. view o-f the broom before the handle is introduced; Fig. 3 is an edge view; and F ig. 4 is a side view.
Like letters refer to like parts.
The nature of my invention consists in making brooms of wrought wood splints, by first encircling the ends of a suflicient num ber in a metallic ring or cap, and then compressing them by introducing` the handle in the manner hereafter described. The brush is' then flattened and sewed with twine, to keep it in proper form.
The splints are made from ash timber in the usual manner, or they may be wrought from hickory by proper machinery, and afterward cut by means ofan apparatus fitted therefor, into strips of suitable width and length. I prefer those that are wrought by machinery, for in this manner they can be made a little tapering, or thinner at the point as seen in Fig. l, at A, A. A sufficient number of splints thus prepared are selected, and the large ends placed evenly in the ring or cap B, as seen in Fig. 2.
This
cap is recurved upon the top, as seen in Fig. 5 and in this manner the ends of the splints are nearly covered, an opening being left in the top, just suiiicient for the handle of the broom. A cone shaped pin O, made of hard timber, and a little concave at the large end, for the purpose of holding firmly the small end of the broom handle, is now placed in the center of the brush, as seen in Fig. 2. The brush is then securely held by a suitable apparatus, and the small end of the handle placed firmly against the large end of the cone C, when, by a firm and gradual pressure, by any convenient method, the handle is driven home, or to the position seen in Figs. 3 and 4;. The brush of the broom is then compressed in a vise, and flattened, as seen in Figs. 3 and 4;, and stitched and bound with twine as.v seen at E, F, in Fig. 4.
The splints used for brooms made in this manner, may be tapering as at A A, or they may be of equal thickness, throughout their whole length, as at A A, though I prefer the tapering splint. The splints may also be bound to the handle with twine or wire, instead of the cap B, as specified.
Vhat I claim as my improvement and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The formation of brooms, composed of sepa-rate wrought splints, when constructed in the manner herein described and set forth, as a new article of manufacture.
JOHN W. VHEELER.
