UNITED STATES ATnN'r JACOB F. IIOKE, JR., OF SULLIVAN, INDIANA.
BRUSH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 596,877, dated January 4, 1898.
Application filed August 30,1897. Serial No. 650,000. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JACOB F. HOKE, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Sullivan, in the county of Sullivan and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Brushes and Floor-Sweepers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to brushes and floorsweepers, and has forits object to provide an improved brush of neat, durable, and inexpensive construction and in which the tufts will wear evenly and without liability of the fibers pulling out or becoming detached from the brush head or back.
The invention consists in the novel features of construction in a brush, as hereinafter described and claimed.
In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a brush constructed according to Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same through one of the tufts. Fig. 3 is a view illustrating the manner of forming the tufts.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the brush head or back, preferably composed of wood, and 2 indicates one of the openings or recesses provided in the brushhead to receive the tufts 3, each of which comprises a peg 4, having fibers 5 wired thereto and then folded outward or over onto themselves and rewired by a continuation of the same wire 6 employed for attaching the said fibers to the peg or core.
In constructing a brush according to this invention I take a wooden peg or core a, Figs. 2 and 3, and surround it on all sides with a suitable thickness of fibers 5, having a length suited to the dimensions of the brush to be made. As shown in Fig. 3, it will be seen that the fibers 5 are of such length that they will extend quite a distance beyond both ends of the core or peg 4:, which is comparatively short. Awire 6 is employed to bind the fibers A 5 firmly to the peg at, one end portion of said wire being wrapped closely and securely around the fibers while they are extended parallel with each other and surrounding the peg as a core or center. Before the wire 6 is entirely wrapped the fibers that project beyond one end of the peg i are folded outward and backward or over onto themselves, the outermost portions of the fibers being brought closely onto the inner portions, and then the winding is continued with the free end portion of the wire 6 projecting from among the fibers. \Vhile this final winding of the wire is continued the folded-over fibers should be pounded or compressed to make a secure and compact body at the point of wrapping or binding, and then the outer end of the wire is secured by means of a nail or like fastening driven into the peg 4 through an eye or loop that may be provided at the outer end of the binding-wire.
The tufts 3, constructed as above described, are inserted in the recesses 2 of the brushhead 1 and are secured therein by means of waterproof glue and also by nails 7, which are preferably driven entirely through the brushhead. \Vith this construction and attachment of the tufts 3 it is impossible for them to pull out or work loose, and the wear on the brushfibers will be uniform. By the folding of the fibers 5 onto themselves after they have been bound to the peg 4 and the employment of a single continuous wire 6 for both the inner and outer wrapping of the fibers there is given to the tufts 3 a practically indestructible charactor, to which the inclosed wooden peg or core imparts a very necessary rigidity for affording means of secure attachment to the brush-head. Obviously the durability of the brush is greatly increased by this mode of construction.
If desired, the ends of the brush-head 1 may be reinforced by means of metal straps 8, riveted in place. Over these metal straps 8 there may be placed rubber straps 8 to avoid scarring furniture by contact with the brush ends.
It is preferable to provide the brush-head with two oppositely-placed handle-sockets 9, one on each side of the head, so that by inserting the brush-handle first in one socket and afterward in the other the brush can be given a more equal wear on its two sides.
What I claim as my invention is- A brush composed of a head provided with tuft holes or recesses, and a number of tufts secured in said recesses and each consisting of a rigid core or peg and folded-over fibers surrounding and secured to said peg by a my hand'in presence of two subscribing wit single continuous wire having its inner end nesses.
portion wrapped around the inner portions of the fibers and its outer end portion Wrapped around the outermost 0r folded-over portions Nitnesses:
of the fibers, substantially as described. AL B. MCDOWELL, In testimony whereof I have hereunto set E, H; MCORORY.
