WILLIAM H. BENNETT, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF T LOVASSO FIELD, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.
BRusHf SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent lNo. 747,903, dated December 22, 1903.
Application filed April 1, 1903. Serial No. 150,577. l (N model.)
-To all whom t may concern,.-
Be it known that LWlLLlAMYH. BENNETT,a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented an Improved Brush, of which the following is a specication.
The object of my invention is the economical construction of an improved brush which 1o shall be adapted to a large range of different uses in the art of brushing and scrubbing, as well as in kindred arts. .l
With this object in view my invention consists, essentially, of a brush comprising a tuft or series of tufts of felt or other similar fabric coiled upon itself, with bristles intermingled between the several convolutions of such coil of felt, such bristles being unattached in any way to such felt throughout 2o that portion of their length extending beyond the back of the brush.
The accompanying figures of drawings illustrating my invention are as follows:
Figure lis a side view of a brush constructed in accordance with my invention with a partof the back thereof broken away to show the insertion therein ofone of the tufts. Figs. 2 and 3show enlarged vertical sections of two forms of such tufts. Fig. 4 shows, in an engo larged horizontal section, one of such tufts,
while Fig. 5 shows one of such tufts in an enlarged perspective. Figs. 4 and 5 are drawn to a smaller scale than Figs. 2 and 3, which are greatly enlarged for the purpose of show- 35 ing more clearly the arrangement of the bristherein with glue or other suitable cement,
preferably waterproof. Each of these tufts b isrcomposed of a strip of felt or like fabric coiled upon itself, as indicated in the draw- 5o ings, with bristles c arranged transversely of such strip of felt and parallel with glie axis of the coil of the tuft b. It is immaterial whether the bristles extend even with the brushing-surface of lthe felt b, as shown in. Fig. 2, or fall a little back of such surface of the tuft, as shown in Fig. 3. The complete tufts, as shown in Fig. 4, may, if desired, have the loose outer end of the coil of felt or i fabric b stitched or otherwise secured to the next layer or convolution beneath.
A brush constructed in accordance with my invention' answers admirably for either cleaning or polishing shoes, as a scrubbingbrush, as a blackboard-eraser, and as a polishing or buffing brush. v Such abrush works admirably for the purpose of scrubbing and may be used to goodV advantage as a combined scrubber and mop, .the felt acting as a mopping-surface, the bristles as a scrubbing-surface, and the felt operating to prevent the 7o bristles from throwing suds or cleansing liquid against adjacent objects.
I would have it understood that I do not limit myself to any particular style or'shape of coil, and I desire to .call attention to the special feature of my presentinvention,which consists in the combination of felt or like fabric and bristles to form a brushing-surface in which the bristles are unattached to the fabric throughout that portion of their 8c length extending beyond the back of the brush or the support for such brushing-surface and with such brushing-surface composed of such bristles and such fabric, vthe fabric arranged to incl'ose the bristles on two 85 or more sides in such a way as to bind them together, while at the sa me time the bristles serve to stiffenaud support the strip of fabric. Attention is especially called to this cooperation between the bristles and the fabric, 9o whereby without detractingfrom the elasticity or flexibility of the brushing-surfaces the bristles cooperate to support and stien the fabric and the fabric cooperates to snpport and bind together the bristles. I have sometimes found it desirable to extend the strip of fabric a little beyond the free ends of the bristles, between the folds or layers thereof.
'What I claim isn 1.` In a brush, in combination with a suitable support therefor, a brushing-surface TOO com prising a strip of fabric coiled upon itself and uuattached bristles of suitably flexible and elastic material arranged between the con volutions thereof.
2. In a brush, in combination With a snitable support therefor, a brushing-surface comprising a strip of fabric and adjacent thereto and encircled thereby a row of unattached bristles of suitably flexible and elastic material, said bristles arranged transversely to said strip of fabric.
In a brush, in combination with a suitable support therefor, a brushing-surface comprising a strip of fabric and unattached bristles of suitably flexible and elastic ma terial intel-mingled between the layers of, and arranged transversely to, said strip of fabric.
4. In a brush, in combination with a suitable support therefor, a strip of fabric coiled upon itself and unattached bristles of suitably flexible and elastic material arranged transversely to said strip between the convo lutions thereof.
5. In a brush, in combination with a suitable support therefor, a strip of fabric and adjacent thereto and encircled thereby a row of unattached bristles of suitably flexible and elastic material, said bristles arranged transversely to said strip of fabric.
6. In a brush, in combination with a suitable support therefor, a strip of fabric and unattached bristles of suitably flexible and elastic material intermingled between the layers of, and arranged transversely to, said strip of fabric.
