.IOSIAII T. IIAIR, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNCR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO THE 'OVEN DOVV'N DUSTER COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
FEATHER DUSTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 4 12,433, dated December 9, 1890.
Application filed September 3, 1888. Serial No. 284,482 (No model.)
To aZi/ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSIAH T. IIAIR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Feather Dusters, of which the following is a specification, to wit:
This invention relates to improvements in feather clusters; and it consists in certain peculiari ies of the construction and arrangement of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully pointed out in the claims. I
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention pertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe it, referring to the accompanying drawings, in which Figurel is a view of the main body of the duster, showing the pocket, handle, and connections before the body is folded and sewed down. Fig. 2 is the duster complete and ready for use. Fig. 3 is a view of the handle and wire frame and connection.
Similar letters referto like parts throughout the several views.
A represents the material of which my duster is composed, consisting, preferably, of turkey down or of any suitable feathers or material. This turkey down I weave into suitable fabric, so as to firmly retain the same securely in a strip, preferably of rectangular form, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. I do not describe fully the manner of this weaving, as it is old and well known in the art and my invention does not lie therein. The warps or backing of said wcavin g is designated by the letter B.
I take a strip of canvas cloth or other suitable material and fold it down, sewing the side edges together, so as to form a pocket I). This pocket I secure by sewing or otherwise at its closed end to or near the center of the inner side of the web or feather cloth, which pocket is for the reception and retention of the wire frame F. (Shown in Fig. 1.) The other portion of the pocket being left loose or free from the main body of the duster, I prefer to fasten by tacking or otherwise the open end of the pocket to the handle.
E is a handle, preferably of wood, having near the butt-end the hole (I for the reception and retention of the ends of the wire frame F, as presently explained.
F is a frame of wire or any other suitable material, bent in the form or shape preferably as shown in Fig. 2) and in one piece. The form of the same at its upper end is rectangular, and toward its lower end it slopes inward at an angle from a to I), and then straight from I) to c, and its extreme lower ends being bent inward at right angles, so that the ends will enter the hole in the body of the handle, as will be clearly understood from the drawings. The ends of said frame being placed in the hole in the handle the frame is firmly secured to the end of the handle by means of a wire thread or binding I-I, wound around the handle and the frame and securely tied by some of the thread passing across the end of the handle, so as to prevent the frame from being pulled out. \Vhile I prefer to secure the frame and handle by the winding of the wire, as shown, itis evident that the same can be accomplished by means of a collar, band, 01' ferrule without departing 7 5 from my invention.
The manner of construction and operation is as follows: The feather down having been woven into the suitable size and shape desired and the pocket having been attached, So
as before described, and the frame and handle having been secured together in the man ner as before stated, the end of the handle is then fastened to one end of the main body of the warp or feather cloth by means of a tack or otherwise, and the frame having been placed in the pocket the main body is folded down so that the ends meet and the edges of the warp all around are sewed together, when the duster will then be completed, presenting case the handle will be extended upto or near Ico the topend of the duster, as shown in Fig. 2, and secured to the feather cloth by tack or otherwise.
The construction shown forms a feather duster which will be elastic, not liable to wear.
wire frame on the end of the handle, as de scribed, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a feather duster, the combination of the body made-of down or feather cloth A, the pocket D, the handle E, having hole (1 and frame F, and wire II, substantially as shown and described.
4. In a feather duster having its brushbody made of feather cloth, a pocket located between the down or feather cloth, in combination with a handle, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOSIAH T. HAIR.
