UNTTED STATES PATENT FFICE.
STEPHEN (7+. VILSON, OF PHlLADELPl-IIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
BROOM-GUARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,813, dated April 18, 1905.
Application filed February 26,1904. Serial No. 195.351.
To {LU zr/mm/ it may concern-.-
Be it known that I, STEPHEN (9r. \VILsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Broom-Guards, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to broom-guards; and it consists of improved means for increasing theli fe of the broom by preventing the breaking of its splints.
It further provides means for confining the broom and preventing its being forced out of shape.
It also consists in making such means adjustable in conformity with the wear of the broom and the use to which it is to be put.
it further consists of novel features of construction, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.
Figure 1 represents in perspective a portion of a broom provided with my device. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view of a portion of the device detached from the broom.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a broom provided with the ordinary handle 2, having stitched or wire coils 3.
i designates a row of stitching round the top of the broom.
designates my device, shown as consisting of two wires having similar arch-shaped portions 6 on each side of the broom, which are provided at their middle points with a convolution T. The ends of the wires are twisted at 8 to form a vertically-extending portion, at the top of which is a hook 9, having a reverted-upward portion 10.
The operation is as follows: The guard is slipped down over the broom, as shown in Fig. l, and its hook 9 engaged with any one of the plurality of stitches 4: at the head of the broom. As shown, it is attached to the middle of the three rows. It is clear that if it were attached to the lowermost row it would serve still more strongly to confine the broom and prevent its spreading. By reason of its arch shape, and particularly by reason of the resilient coils T at each face of the broom, it affords sufficient resiliency to permit the broom to be used on any carpet or other fabric. \Vhen it is desired to give the broom greater flexibility, the books i) may be engaged with the middle row of stitching, as
shown, or with the extreme upper row, or the spring may be moved upward in this manner as the ends of the ln-oonrsplints wear away, thereby giving approximately the same flexibility to the partially-wern broom as to a new one.
The particular zulvantage of my device is that of preventing the breaking of the splints at the lower line of stitching by substitutingfor this rigid line a yichling device. The function of the reverted upwardly-extending portion 10 on the hook 9 is to maintain the device in its proper position by preventing its being moved either upward or downward as the broom is handled. By making the portion 6, which rests against the faces of the broom, of the arch shape shown, and particularly by providing therein the convolution 7 or an equivalent, 1 provide a yielding line which acts to prevent breakage of the broomsplints, \vhileat the same time the device prevents undue sprezuling of the broom.
It is evident that various changes may be made by those skilled in the. art which will come within the scope of my invention, and 1 do not, therefore, desire to be limited in every instance to the exact construction herein shown and described.
l'laving thus described my invention, what [claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is--- l. A detachable resilient broom-guard comprising two wires eachhaving an arch-shaped portion with an integral spring therein contacting with the face of the broom, the ends of said wires being united at the edges of the broom and bent to form hooks detachably engageable with any of the lines of stitching on the broom.
2. A detachable resilient broom-guard comhooks detachably engageable With any of the prising two Wires each having an arch-shaped lines of stitching on the broom. portion With an integral spring therein coni tacting With the face of the broom, the ends 5 of said Wires being twisted together at the \Vitnesses:
edges of the broom and provided at their up- JOHN A. TIEDERSHEIM,
