UNirsEn STATES v FFIQEQ HARRIET E. BAKER, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.
SCRUBBlNG-BRUSH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,555, dated April 29, 1884.
Application filed November 15, 1883. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HARRIET E. BAKER, of Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new andusefullmprovementinScrubbing-Brushes, of which the following is a specification and description. 7
The object of my invention is to provide a cheap and durable scrubbing-brush, which is adapted to have a long handle secured thereto,
showing the water-proof packing placed and secured between the body of the brush and its cover; and Fig. II is a plan view of the same, but without the socket to receive and contain the long handle. In the drawings, 2 represents a block,forming the body of the brush, into which I secure rice-roots 6, by inserting them into holes made in the block therefor, and secure them by wires, as in the ordinary manner of constructing scrubbing-brushes, and one end of this block may be of curved or circular form, if desired, and the other end I make somewhat pointed, with the angle at the apex 7 between the two sides 8 and 9 of any desired are less than ninety degrees. After the fibers or roots 6 are properly secured, I make the cover 4 of wood or other suitable material, and of the same form in plan as the block 2, and I secure this cover firmly to the block 2, by screws or otherwise, with a sheet of waterproof packing-made, preferably, of rubber placed between the block 2 and its cover 4,so that when thus secured the rubber packing fits down snugly against the wires which secure the fibers or roots in place in the block. I then secure a socket, 5, adapted to have a handle secured therein to the top of the cover,
preferably by screws turned through the foot of the socket, and the brush is then ready for use.v
In the use of the ordinary scrubbing-brushes in washing floors,the main portion of the floor may be scrubbed with the brush, the persons using such brushes being obliged to get on their knees and seizing the brush in the hand to scrub the floor, and as the brushes in common use cannot be rubbed on the floor entirely up to the mop board in the corners of the room those portions must be cleaned with a rag or by other means. The form of the brush in my invention at the apex 7 permits the brush to be used entirely up to the mop-board of the room at all the corners, as the angle at the apex is less than ninety degrees, the latter being the angle of all ordinary rooms. The water-proof packing 3, secured between the block 2 and its cover, prevents the water from soaking into the joint between the block and its cover, and the result is that the wires which the water-proof sheet or packing secured between the block 2 and its cover 4 to preserve the wires which'secure the fibers or roots in place may be used in the hand, and without the long handle-socket 5, if desired.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new isp 1. An improved scrubbing-brush consisting of the block 2, having an apex or point at one end formed at an angle of less than ninety degrees, and with rice fibers or roots secured in said block, a cover, 4:, having the same form and firmly secured to said block, and awaterproof packing, 3, secured between said block and cover, all combined substantially as described.
2. The combination, in a scrubbing-brush,
adapted to receive and hold a handle, substantially as described.
