UNITED STATES FFICE.
ATENT DUSTING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 581,109, dated April 20, 1897.
Application filed August 11, 1896. Serial No. 602 ,449 (No model.) 7
Improvements in Dusting Devices, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a new and improved device designed to take the place of a feather duster, and will be fully and clearly hereinafter described and claimed,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the device complete. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the grooved core or holding portion. Fig. 3 represents a central sectional elevation on or about the line a a, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary View showing how the dusting-cloth Fig. 5 represents a top view of the holding portion.
Referring to the drawings in detail, 1 represents the holding portion,which is constructed of wood or other suitable material. This holding portion 1 is preferably formed in the shape shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and a surrounding screw-groove 2 is out thereon, substantially as shown in said Figs. 2-and 3.
For the dusting material 3 I use any suitable cloth, such as cheese-cloth and similar fabrics.
The dusting-cloth is secured to the surrounding surface of the holding portion by a wire or cord 4, preferably wire. A long strip of narrow cloth is employed for this purpose, one end of the wire being fastened to the grooved ball or core with an ordinary staple or a screw 5. (See Fig. 5.) The cloth is crimped, and at or near its longitudinal center it is laid in at the beginning of the groove 2, at the end in which the screw 5 holds the wire, for instance, and as the cloth is being crimped and placed in said groove the wire is tightly drawn until the entire spiral groove around the ball or core has been fitted with the crimped cloth. The wire is then securely fastened by a staple or other well-known means. When completed, the cloth entirely envelops the core, substantially as shown in Fig. 1.
In Fig. 3 I have shown a screw-threaded opening 6, in which the handle 7 may be removably secured, but the screwthread may be dispensed with, if desired, and the handle secured in any well-known way.
The device when completed, as above described, has all the advantages of a feather duster with an additional advantage, as follows: The cloth duster absorbs the greater portion of the dust and can be easily washed cleanwhen filled, whereas a feather duster merely transfers the dust from one place to another.
As the cloth is in a single piece, it can be easily detached from the grooved core by unwinding the holding wire or cord.
I am aware that dusters have been heretofore constructed with a series of pieces of cloth or similar material secured to a supporting-core, and therefore do not claim such broadly; but
What I do claim is- In a duster, the combination with a spirally-grooved supporting-core, of a long strip of narrow crimped cloth, secured in said spiral groove by a wire wound in said groove above the said cloth, so that the said cloth can be easily removed therefrom.
