ATTACHMENT FOR DUST-FANS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 14, 1907.
Application led May I4, 1906. Serial NoL 316.883.
To all whom, 'llt 777414/ orf/merit:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL D. TUNGATE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Des Moines, in the county of Polk and State of Iowa, have invented a certain new and useful Attachment for Dust-Pans, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a device in the nature of an attachment that may be quickly and easily applied to an ordinary dust-pan for the purpose of serving as a comb to remove threads, hairs, etc. from a broom when used in sweeping dust upon the pan. f
My invention consists in the construction of the attachment and in the arrangement and combination of the dust-pan, whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claims and illustrated in the accompanyingl drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows Va plan view of a dust-pan provided with an attachment embodying my invention. Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal, sectional view of same, and Fig. 3 shows a per-v spective view of one end of the spring with the protecting cap thereon.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, I have used the reference numeral 10 to indicate the dust-pan. The attachment comprises a coil 11, of spring wire, having an integral hook 12 formed on each end. The
coil is of such length, with relation to the width of the pan, that when the hooks 12 are attached to the sides of the pan, the coils of the spring will stand apart far enough to admit the straws of a broom or the bristles of a brush between them, in such manner as to cause the coils to serve as the teeth of a comb for the purpose of removing threads, lint and hairs and the like from the broom or brush.
I have provided for giving a finished appearance to the ends of the spring and at the same time protecting said ends so that the straws of a broom will not enter between the ends of the spring and the sides of the dustpan where they may become tangled and thus broken. I, therefore, place on each end of the spring a metal collar 13 having a closed end 14, through which the hook 12 is extended. In this way the hook serves to hold the collar in its position and the collar will stand against the sides of the dust-pan and close the end of the spring, so that broom straws and brush bristles will not enter.
In practical use, it is obvious that the attachment is of very simple and inexpensive construction and it maybe quickly and. easily attached to a dust-pan by simply forming two perforations in the d ust-pan and placing the hooks 12 therein. The coils of the spring are necessarily extended slightly before the hooks may be placed in engagement with the sides of the pan and hence the spring is und er tension when applied to a pan.. The attachment is very durable and if the pans should become worn or broken, the at` tachment .is unhooked from it and placed on a new pan. In use the pan is held in the ordinary way and the broom or brush is moved over it in the ordinary way. The spring will prevent the broom or brush from going back too far upon the pan and will, in a way, aid in retaining dust or sweepings on the pan. Then as a broom or brush is drawn over the spring, the coils thereof will serve as a comb and remove threads, hairs and other sweepings that may have adhered to the broom or brush.
I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, therefor is- 1. The combination with a dust-pan, of a coil spring extended transversely across the pan above its bottom and detachably conneet-ed with the sides of the pan.
2. The combination with a dust-pan, of a vcoil spring formed with hooks at its ends, said hooks detachably connected with the sides of the dust pan.
3. The combination with. a dust-pan, of a coil spring having hooks formed on its ends, a collar at each end of the spring, each collar having a closed end and having said hook eX- tended through the closed end, said hooks detachably connected with the sides of the dustpan.
