TO ALL WHOM I'I MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. HUGHES, of' Hebron, in the county 'of' Porter, and State of Indiana, have invented a. new and improved Lever Broom-Head, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and
exact description thereof', which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the sanie, reference being had to the accompanying dra-wings, forming a part of' this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side 'view of my improved lever broom-head, showing it attached to the brush and handle. Figure 2 is a longitudinal section ot' the same taken through the line :v m, iig. 1. Figure 3 is a cross-section ot the same taken through-tbc line y y, fig. l, the brush being omitted. Figure 4 is a cross-section of the same taken through the line z z, fig. 1, the brush being omitted. Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
My invention has for its object to furnish an improvedbroom-head, by which the brush will --be held iirmly' and securely in place, and which will allow the brush when worn to be readily renewed; and it-consists, first, of the parts or levers of the broom-head in combination with each other and with the brush and handle of the broom; second,- in the combination of the wire braces with the lever-head and brush of thc broom; and third, in the combination of the spring or binding-wire with the wire braces and brush of the broom, as hereinafter more fully described. v f
A and B are the parts or levers of the broom-head. Thesefpartsor halves are exactly alike, each forming one side and half the edges of the broom-head, as shown in tig. 3. These parts A and B are made in the form shown in tig. 1, the middle part of the sides being cut away, as shown, to make the broom-head lighter lthan it would otherwise be. The lower ends a1 'a2 and b b2 of the levers A and B may be pivoted to veach other ih various ways: tirst, by riveting the end of cach part to a small plate, C, as shown in figs. 1 and 3, these rivets form the fulcra of the levers; or second, they may be .pivoted to each other by the linlisor hooks D, as seen in igsjl and 3. When the secondmanner of connection is used the ends of the parts Afand B mway be made inclined, and with two or more notches in each, so thatthe space between the said parts may be regulated according as it is desired to make a. thin or thick broom. The upper ends a3 b3 of the parts A and B are so made as l to form, when closed, a tube or ferrule for the reception of the handle The ends a3 b3 are secured to each other and tothe handle E by a bolt, F, and nuts G and H. The nut G is placed inside of the ferrule aand is designed to 'hold the handle to the side b3 of the ferrule while the brush is being inserted. It is alsoco'nvenient for tightening up the handle should it become loosel by shrinking. A part of4 the handle is cut away for its reception, as seen in g. 2. The other nut, II, secures the parts A and B together, clamping the handle E between them, as shown in iig. 2. The wire braces I and J are made-of wire bent into theforni represented in iig. 1. The upper ends of these braces are notched,'so as to be taken hold 'of and held by the lower edges of the parts A and B, as shown in figs. 1,2, and and their lower ends are held closely against the brush by the plates K and L, which said plates are drawn together and held in place, clamping the braces I and J, the springs or binding-wires M and N, and the brush P between them, by the screws O, ns shown in iig. 2. These plates are also grooved vertically, so as to {it over the vertical part of the braces I and J, and horizontally to t over the ends of the binding-wires M and N, as shown in fig. 1. The binding-wires M andrN are made in the form of a half link as seen in fig. 4, and their ends are notched so as to iit over the braces I and J and be held firmly in place by the plates K and L and the screw O. As the brush I? wears short, by loosening the screw O the binding-wires M and Nmay be slipped up upon the bivush l? and again clamped in any described position. Whcn the brush has been worn still shorterthe braces I and J, binding-wires M and Nathe plates K and L, and the screws O may all be removed, and the broom be used without them. To fill the broom-head the nut II isrcmoved, and the parts A. and B. opened up by swinging the part A back about the pivoting points C and D, the brush Pinserted, the part A pressed down and secured in place: and the bracing and binding-wires attached. The broom is then ready for use.
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Pattent- 1. The combination 'ot' the wire braces I and J with the parts A andB andwith the brush of the broom,
substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of the spring or bracing-wires M and N with the wire braces I and J and the brush P, substantially as described and for the purposesset forth,` f Y v WM. HUGHES.
