GEORGE HARVY KIMBLER, OF CREELSBOROGH, KENTUCKY.
BRO-OM-HEAD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 389,657, dated September 18, 1888.
Application filed September 13, 1886. Serial No. 213,419. (Model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE HARVY KIM- BLER, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Greelsborough, in the county of Russell and State of Kentucky, have invented new and useful Improvements in Broom Heads, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in broom-heads; and it consists of the peculiar combination and novel construction and arrangement of the various parts for service, substantially as hereinafter fully set forth,and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a broom-head embodying my invention, Figure 1 is a-perspective view of the device with the corn therein. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view on the line x x of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detached perspective view of one part or section of the head, and Fig. 4C is a like view of the other section of the head. Fig. 5 is adetail view of the securingfwire detached.
Referring to the drawings, in which like letters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the figures, vA designates my improved broom-head, which is made in two sections or.
parts, B C, which are detachably connected together by means which I will describe presently.
Each section of the broom-head comprises a flat plate, a, which is made straight on its lower edge and curved on its upper edge, and the section B of the -head has rightangled anges b around its several side and upper edges, which project over the corresponding edges of the head-section O, so that the edges of the latter are concealed within the lianges 5o the section B. The broom-corn is passed into the head, and the ribs or strips of the sections lie on opposite sides of the same, so that they will bind and compress the corn very firmly together within the head and prevent the displacement thereof.
One of the anges of the section B is pro* vided at its lower end with an opening or aperture, e, and the other flange of the section B is provided with an open slot, e; and the lower angles or corners of the section G are provided with projecting pins or lips e, which iit or enter the aperture and slot e e', respectively, of the section B to detachably connect the lower edgesof the sections B C of the broom-head together.
F designates the metallic socket-piece for the broom-handle. This socket-piece is also made in two sections, F F2, which are cast integrally with and extend upward from the sec# section F of the handle socket-piece is provided at itsupper end with a flared open socket,
f, into which the reduced end of the handle is fitted very securely in any suitable manner, and at its lower end the socket -piece is cut away to provide a projecting portion, f', that extends to one side of the section B, as shown. The upper end of the section F2 of the socket bears very firmly against the cut-away portion f of the section F and is detachably secured thereto by a screw, f3, that passes through aligned openings in the sections F F2.
The operation of my invention is as follows: To iill the head A of the broom with corn, the socket-sections F F2 are first disconnected by removing the screw f3, and then the sections B C of the head are separated by slipping the pin or lip e2 out of the slot e and then withdrawing the other lip e2 out of the aperture e. The corn is now laid in order in the section B of the head in due regularity and in proper quantities, after which the section O of IOO the head and thus serves to more securel y hold it in place, and after the head-sections have been secured together in the manner specified the securing-wire or cord H is passed through the broom-corn beneath the head A and eX- terior thereto. The wire II is rst passed through one strand or portion of the corn, then doubled upon itself and brought ont on the same side ofthe corn through which it was passed,thus leaving an eye or loop on the opposite side of the corn. This operation is repeated the desired number of times to form a series of eyes that project from one side of the corn only, and through these eyes is passed a connecting-wire, H, which is secured at its ends to the extremities of the wire H, thus very securely connecting the corn together and materially strengthening the broom.
It will thus be seen that I provide a very simple and strong broom-head, which can be very easily operated to separate and connect the parts thereof to remove the old broom corn and replace it with new corn, and that the device effects a very great economy to the user, as he can thereby supply himself with the corn at a very t-rifiing expense and fit it in the head himself.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Iatent, is-
l. A broom having the bindingwire H passed through the corn thereof and formed into a series of aligned eyes or loops that are all arranged on one Side of the corn, and the wire II', passing through the said aligned eyes and connected to the ends ofthe wire II, substantially as described.
2. The broom-head herein described, consisting of the sections B C and the sectional socket-piece comprising the sections F F2, formed integrally with the sections B C, respectively, the section F having the cutaway portion f', against which the section F2 rests, and the set-screw inserted through the sections FZ F to secu re the device together, as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORG E HAR VY KIMBLER.
