GEORGE WM. GRISIVOLD, OF MANOMET, MASSACHUSETTS.
DUSTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 513,390, dated January 23, 1894.
Application tiled November 24, 1893. Serial No. 491,904. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE WM. GEIswoLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mahomet, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented anew i and useful Duster, of which the following is a specification.
Myinvention relates to improvements in clusters, and to that particular class thereof designed fordustin g upholstering, carpets, dac.
I-Ieretofore it has been usual to beat or dust upholstery by various devices which were calculated to cause the dust to rise therefrom, but inasmuch as there was no current of air sufficient to carry the same away from the article it fell back thereupon and had to be subsequently removed as far as possible by brooms.
The objects of my invention are to obviate this difficulty, and to provide a cheap, simple, and economical device that may be readily handled and operated so as to cause the dust to rise from the article and to cause a current of air so as to blow the dust away from the article so that it cannot fall back upon it.
With these and other' objects in view the invention consists in certain features of construction hereinafter specified and particularly pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings:-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a duster embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail of the spring wire fan-frame. Fig. 4 is a detail of the clasp.
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in all the figures of the drawings.
In practicing my invention I construct an oval frame 1 of wire, preferably of springwire, but if desired the same may be of rattan or other light material. The terminals of the wire from which the frame is formed are brought together, bent downward as at 2, thence rearward, at `which point they are slightly separated, again upward at 3, and iinally rearward forming tangs 4, which are let into the ends of a suitable handle 5. The separated portions of the wire embrace the opposite sides of a beating-stick 6, which may be of wood, metal, or other material, and
Veither iiexible or stiff, and the same extends under the frame to apoint beyond the same a proper distance. A clasp 7 of sheet metal embraces the stick at its rear end and the wire 5 5 terminals between the bent portions 2 and 3, and above the same the terminals of the clasp meet and are provided with corresponding threaded perforations 8, through which a clam ping-screw 9 is passed. The frame is 6o covered by any suitable light material and may be given any preferred ornamentation, the material combined with the frame producing a preferably flexible fan. This completes the construction of my invention, and the manner of using the same is similar to that of other beaters. The beating-stick is employed to beat the carpets, upholstering, &c., and thus the dust caused to rise therefrom. The motion given the device causes the 7o Y fan to create a current of air, and as the dust rises the same is blown away from the article and cannot again fall back upon the same.
From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawings it will be seen that I have provided a very simple, efficient, and cheap device that may be employed indoors as well as out for beating carpets, upholstering, etc., and eradicate therefrom in an effectual manner the dust therein 8o contained.
It will be seen that the clasp may be readily removed by reason of the presence of the screw, and should a stick break or it be desired to substitute another stick the same may be readily accomplished.
I do not limit my invention to the precise details of construction herein shown and described, but hold that I may vary the same to any degree and extent within the knowl- 9o edge of the skilled mechanic.
Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination with a beating-stick, of a fan arranged thereover, substantially as 9 5 specified.
2. The combination with a beating-stick, and a flexible fan` arranged thereover and detachably clamped thereto, of a handlemconnected to the same, substantially as specified. ioo
3. The combination with the spring-wire oval frame, the terminalsy of which are bent at their rear ends to form a stick-embracing shank and in rear of the same to form tangs, of a handle-receiving the tangs, a beatingstick arranged between the bends of the fan- 5 frame, a clasp embracing the bends of the frame and the stick, and a screw passed through the ends of the clasp, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in ro the presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE WM. GRISWOLD.
