Description

UNITED STATES EHLER GNUTZMANN,
PATENT FFIC.
O F KIEL, GERMANY.
SHOE-BRUSH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 650,237, dated rMay 22, 1900.
Application filed October 5, 1899.
T0 @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EHLER GNUTZMANN, master Shoemaker, a subject of the King of Prussia, Emperor of Germany, residing at Kiel, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boot-Brushes and the Like, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a device forming a combined mud or cleaning brush and blacking and polishing device.
The device is represented in the accompanying drawings.
Figure l is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 2 a plan, while Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of a modification, of the brush According to Figs. l and 2 the invention consists of a brush d with closely-set bristles, so as to form an even surface. The brush backor body is provided with an undercut seat a', extending entirely around its circumference. On this brush ais arranged a strip or pad, of leather or cloth h, tightly drawn and held over the bristles by means of a metal frame c, which can be easily passed over it and the bristles and so arranged as to permit the strip to be readily replaced when required. In adjusting the cloth b to the brush-back it is placed over the bristles and its edge rested in the seat c', after which the metal frame C is passed over it and hugs it tightly in the seat a', so that it will be confined there in use, but may be readily removed upon the application of manual force.
When the device is to be used, the frame c and the strip b are first removed and the boots thoroughly brushed free of dirt, dust, and the like by means of the brush ci.. After this the brush is shaken to freeit from dust and the strip b is put in place over it and secured. The blacking or polish is then applied by Serial No. 732,668. (No model.)
means of one half or end of the strip b, and the operation is completed by polishing the boot with the other half of the strip b, as with a polishing-brush. By these means a high polish is obtained without soiling the hands and with the use of only one brush.
Owing to the sharp edges d of the brush and the elasticity of the bristles a perfect and completed polish can be obtained, the edges easily entering the seams and creases of the boot.
The strip b when worn out can be replaced by a new one.
The bristle brush c may be replaced by a block f, provided with a cushion g, of felt or the like, as represented in Fig. 3, with welldeveloped edges, one side, h, being preferably higher than the other forthe purpose of reaching the seams and creases.
The bristles shown in Fig. 1 and the cushion or felt shown in Fig. 3 both serve the function of a yielding cushion for the cover.
Having now particularly described and as certained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is A boot-cleaning device comprising a block provided with a cushion, and having an undercut seat extending around its circumference in combination with a removable and replaceable cover having its edges resting in the seat of the block and a metal slip-frame inclosing said cover and confining its edge in said seat, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto lset my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EHLER GNUTZMANN. Witnesses:
