BRUSH.
EPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 453,292, dated June 2, 1891.
Application filed January 16, 1891. Serial No.- 378,045. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WALTER J. OWEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Quyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Brushes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the improvement ofhand-brushes of that class ordinarily formed of broom-straw or other similar material; and the objects of my invention are to produce a hand-brush of this class of novel form and construction, to so shape and construct said brush asto particularly adapt it for use as a crumb-brush and at the same time produce a brush which may beconveniently utilized as a hat or hearth brush or for other purposes to which hand-brushes areapplied, to so construct and bind together the material form ing said brush as to render it strong and serviceable, and to produce said brush in a neat and attractive form. These objects I accomplish in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which parts employing what is known as the hurl fiber.
As shown in the drawings, the brush when finished has approximately a feather form, a representing the handle, and b the brush-head thereof, the whole being formed and constructed in a suitable machine, which is the subject of a patent application dated January 7, 1891, Serial No. 378,044. The formation of the brush is, however, accomplished by building one upon the other small bunches or Whisks c of the straws or fiber. The lower or foundation bunch has tied or bound about the same at the desired distance from the outer ends thereof one end of a binder-strip d, of rattan or other suitable material, as shown at f. As each additional bunch of fiber is placed in position the binder-strip is given one turn about the same and the lower bunch, said bunches being so laid as to bring the drawings.
the head ends of one bunch slightly in the rear of the head ends of the bunch immediately beneath. This difference in the position of the Whisks or bunches results, as shown, in the gradual upward and rearward incline of the brush-head ends, which produce the approximately feather-blade form of the brushhead shown. It also results in the binder encircling the bound portions of the fiber spirally, each turn of the binder being made a step nearer the rear end of the handle, in order to produce uniform length of brushhead fibers. A sufficient number of the whisk or fiber bunches 0 having been bound together, as above described, the binder is wound spirally about the remaining stems of the fibers which form the brush-handle a. The end of the binder is then secured by inserting it, as shown, one or more times through portions of the handle, as shown in Fig. 1 of The uneven rear ends of the fibers having been cut off, a wooden peg or pin 6 is driven into the center of the handle end, said peg both serving to crowd the fiber stems which surround it tighter against the binder and to give the desired stiifness or rigidity to said handle. The pin e having been inserted,as described,one or more staples g are driven into, the brush-handle, the inner points of said staple entering the pin 6 near its outer end, serving to clamp one coil of the binder 01 against the body of the handle.
From the construction shown it will be observed that those portions of the bound fibers or stems thereof from which are formed the brush-head serve to form a backbone for'said brush-head of the desired stiffness.
Although sufficient rigidity or stifiness is imparted to the handle by the construction shown and described, it is obvious that said handle will be sufficiently pliable to prevent injury thereto by such pressure as may be exerted thereon.
From the construction shown and described it will be seen that an exceedingly novel and desirable form of brush is produced, the approximately feather form of which will render it of great utility as a table "crumb-brush or for purposes as previously set forth in the obj ect-s hereof. I
The manner shown and described of separately binding the various bunches of mate rial which form my improved brush greatly adds to the strength and durability of the latter, and at the same time admits of its being manufactured in a systematic and comparatively inexpensive manner.
As shown in the drawings, the backbone and handle continuation of my improved brush may have imparted thereto any desired bend or inclination which will facilitate the handling and use of the same.
Having now fully described my invention, whatI claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A brush consisting of a handle portion a and abrush-head portion 1), said brush formed of successively-arranged bunches of fibers, each of said bunches bound separately, as described, to the body of the brush by a spirallywound binder d, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In a brush, the combination, with the handle portion a, consisting, as described, of bound fiberstems,ot an approximately featherblade-shaped brush-head 1;, formed by the fiber heads, the latter being approximately of equal length and extending from the handle portion in bunches or Whisks at varying distances from the handle end, substantially as described.
3. In a brush, the combination of the integral handle and brush-head thereof, said brush-head and handle formed of successivelyarranged bunches of fiber, said bunches bound separately and successively to the body of the brush at diliferent points thereon, and said handle portion spirally Wound, as described, and a central pin 2, driven within said handle,as described, substantiallyas specified.
