GEORGE HALL, OF SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA.
BROOM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 246,500, dated August 30, 1881.
Application filed November 12, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE HALL, of Santa Rosa, Sonoma county, California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Brooms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
In that class of brooms in which the handle projects from the broom-head in a line with the length of the broom-straws, the angle at which the handle is held in sweeping brings only one cornerof the brush portion of the broom into act-ion, so that the corners of the broom soon become distorted and unevenly worn, and the broom is rendered unfit for use.
The object of my imention is to adapt this class of brooms to the sweeping position by arranging the brush or sweeping end so that it will bear uniformly upon the floor along its whole length at the same time that the broomhandle is held in the usual inclined position. To do this I counteract the angular position of the handle by giving to the brush or sweeping edge a corresponding angle, as hereinafter more fully described.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, let A represent a broom, and B its handle. The
sweeping-edge c of the broom I make at an angle, as shown, by either using short straws to form one side of the broom or brush, and gradually increasing their length toward the opposite side, or by using straws of equal length and afterward cutting or trimming the edge to the proper angle. Either plan will answer.
In order to preserve a uniform flexibility of the brush or sweeping portion I run a row of stitches, (1, through the broom parallel with the sweeping-edge,-and far enough from the sweeping-edge to give the desired flexibility. The usual rows of binding-stitches e c ordinarily on brooms, may also be used, though this is not essential.
Brooms made in this way will last longer and do better sweeping than brooms made in the ordinary way, because they bear upon the floor along their whole length. Consequently they sweep faster and wear less.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
A broom, formed of fibers of ordinary materials, having the wearing-edge cut obliquely to the handle and provided with stitching parallel to the said edge, as set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
GEORGE HALL. [L. s.]
