UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ROBERT J. ELLIS, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TO GUSTAV DIECKMANN, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFRNIA.
BROOIVI.
Patented July 10, 1906.
Application filerl November G, 1905. Serial No. 285.991.
To all whom it may eoncern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT J. ELLIs, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Brooms, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improved broon or brush. Its object is to provide a broom or brush which will require no especial skill to manufacture 'and which will be light, strong, cheap, durable, and practical.
It consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, havingI reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved broom. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the top finishing-plate. Fig. 3 is a cross-Sectional view on the line X X of Fig. 1.
A represents a stick or handle of suitable construction, and '2 is a head shown as consisting of two small narrow light blocks having complementary grooves on their adjacent faces to allow the blocks to be fitted to and embrace'the lower end of the handle and to be secured permanently thereto by tacks or `glue.
Theouter edges of the head on opposite sidcs of the handle are concaved lengthwise oil the handle, as shown at 3, and two metal plates or boards fl are secured in the middle and parallel with each other and at right angles to the handle, to the head, and project beyond the head on each side of the handle to form suitable slots open on three sides for thecorn or equivalent brush material 5. The latter is compressed between the plates and against the head and handle and secured in place by suitable means, as the follower-blocks 6.'
These follower-blocks 6 are concaved on their inner sides lengthwise of the handle and are preferably arranged at an incline, as shown, so that when they have been secured to the plates by the screws or nails 7 the bunches of corn on each side of the handle will be held in a tapered socket, narrower at the bottom than at the top, and will be prevented thereby from pulling out.
The clamping-plates 4 may be of any desired or convenient length and width, according to the character of broom or brush to be constructed. Preferably they are convexed .along their upper edges with their ends convergent downward, as shown.
In manufacture the handle-head and plates are first assembled into a rigid structure. A bunch of corn or other brush or broom material is then crowded into the spaces between the two plates on each side of the head and crammed and pressed into shape and position and held by the -follower-blocks 6. The rough ends of the corn above the plates are then trimmed off, and, if desired, a finishingplate 8, having a central hole 9 for the handle, may be slipped over the handle and secured to the head and blocks 6. The projecting ends of the bunches of corn are then spread and worked into suitable shape and stitched or otherwise secured in proper broom or brush shape, as shown at 10.
Such a broom or brush may be cheaply manufactured, since it is of few parts and it requires no especial skill to assemble the parts and to make the broom. It gives a wide broom which is very light.
It is possible that various modifications in my invention may be made without departing from the principle thereof, and I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to any specific construction beyond the reasonable interpretation of my claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. An improved broom comprising a han-` dle, a pair of plates arranged parallel with each other and on opposite sides of and secured to the handle, suitable brush material between the plates, and follower-blocks secured to the ends of the plates and arranged to compress the broom material between the' plates and in the direction of the handle.
2. An improved broom comprising a handle having means at one end to provide two lateral slots, broom material in said slots, and follower-blocks secured in said slots and arranged to compress the broom material in the direction of the handle.
3. An improved broom comprising a handle having a slightly-enlarged head at one end, said head concaved in the direction of the length of the handle, a pair of plates secured to opposite sides of the head and at right angles to the handle, broom material inclosed by the plates and the concaved portions of the head, and downwardly-convergent folloWer-blocks fitting between the ends of the plates and secured thereto and compressing the broom material in the direction of the handle.
4. An improved broom comprising a handle having a slightly-enlarged head at one end, said head concaved in the direction of the length of the handle, a pair'of plates secured to opposite sides of the head and at right angles to the handle,-broom material inclosed by the plates and the concaved porf tions of the head, doWnWardly-convergent folloWer-blocks fitting between the ends of the plates and secured thereto and compressin the broom material in the direction of the andle, and a perforated finishingplate fitting,` over the handle and resting on topof the plates and secured thereto.
In testimony Whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
