SCRAPER FOR BROOMS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 568,552, dated September 29, 1896.
' Application filed January 29, 1896. Serial No. 577,262. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.- I
Be it known that I, JOHN B. WARING, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Scrapers, of which the following is a specification.
My improvement relates to brooms such as are used for sweeping streets. Such brooms generally consist of rectangular wooden blocks provided on one side with bristles, and along one longitudinal edge fitted with a scraper consisting of astrip of steel provided with lugs extending beyond different sides at angles adapting some of them to be fastened to the longitudinal edge and others to the top of the said block.
My improvement consists in a scraper having lugs formed with or attached to and extending at an angle from one side and other lugs extending at an angle from the end portions of the opposite side, and having extensions or shanks which pass to the outer corners of the scraper and fastened adjacent thereto, so that they will act as stays for the corners of the scraper, besides forming means for attaching the said lugs to the scraper.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a top View of a brush-block and scraper fitted thereto, the said scraper embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is an end view of the scraper and block.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both figures.
A designates the scraper, it being made of a rectangular plate of steel, having lugs a 00 extending at an angle from one side, and preferably formed integral, and other lugs 00 a a extending at an angle from the other .side. The lug a is fastened by rivets a to the scraper near the middle of its length. The lugs a a have extensions that lap over theentire corner portions of the blade and are fastened thereto by means of rivets 04 one or more of said rivets being located adjacent to the outer corners of the scraper, so that the extensions of the lugs a a will not only serve to secure these lugs to the scraper, but will also stay, brace, and stiffen the outer corners of the scraper, preventing them from bending, so that they will merely wipe over the ground, and causing them to properly fulfil their intended functions.
Preferably the shanks or extensions of the lugs will be made long enough to admit of their being bent around the corners of the scraper far enough to be secured by the corner-rivet.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A scraper consisting of a rectangular blade having lugs extending at an angle from one side, intermediate the ends, and having at the end, lugs extending at an angle from the other side, and provided with extensions that lap over the outer portions of the scraper and are secured to the scraper adjacent to the outer corners, so as to stay, brace and stiffen the said outer corners of the scraper, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOHN B. WARING.-
