h Oi- IMPROVED STOVE-POLISHING BRUSH.

To all whom ttf/nay concern:

I Be it known that I, LUTHER C. CROWELL, of .West Dennis, in the county of Barnstable, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and improved Stove-Polishing Brush the following vis a full, clear, and exact vdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying,

drawings, formingaJ part of this specification, in which Figure l represents a sectional view of my invention.

Figure 2 represents a plan sectional view of the samfe. y

Figure 3 represents a top view of my invention. Figure 4 represents a perspective view of the same.

Figure 5 represents a perspective view of the stovepolishing brush now in general use.

This invention consists in constructing a brush of one or more body-pieces of suitable material, and covering the same on one side and the edges with suitable polishing-material, and permanently attaching to the same a covering for the hand and a sleeve for the arm of the operator, to protect the same from becoming soiled with the polishing-dust, and also from coming in contact with the stove or article being polished, and the attachment of a pad or smaller brush for applying the `polishing-paste.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation, with reference to the drawfings.

Fig. 2. 1 and 2 represent tlle'body-pieces, of wood other suitable material.

S S, hinges connecting 1 and 2 together.

l and 2 may be lled with bristles, as shown by Z, or be covered ou the edges and one side with padding, F F, over which'is fastened a piece of thick, nappy woollen cloth, I P, byhooks, o o o, secured to the body To the uncovered side of 1 2 is attached, at points y y y, a piece of enamelled cloth, A, suiiicient space .and I do hereby declare that v I B, composed of stii material, and strip of cloth, G, Land elastic band H, so that the hand may pass into A,

and the sleeve B fit well to the wrist.

:c x a, the line of attatchment of G with the stii` material of which B is mostly composed.

To hohl the brush irmly to the hand, an elastic band, c t', is extended across A, and attached to the body 1 2 at two or more points, as shown by K K.

For applying the polishing-paste, a smaller brush or pad, D, attached to handle E, is connected with l 2 at m by a joint, so that the same may be thrown forward or backward as desired.

Shouldthe original polishing-surface become worn and uniit for use, (whether the saine be bristles orthe cloth and padding described,) another piece of woollen cloth can be quickly and easily applied by attaching the same to the hooks o o o or, securing an elastic band to the edge of said cloth, shown by L L, and drawing said cloth over 1 2, the same result will be obtained.

To use my invent-ion, the hand should be inserted into the sleeve B, and under A. ('I, iig. 1,1'cpresents the hand and arm, and the relative position of the same with the other part-s.)

hook N, fig. 3, and the polishing-paste applied with the saine; it is then thrown back, secured by hook N fig. l, and the polishing-surface applied as is customary.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What 1 claim as new, and desire to'secure by Letters Patent, is-

As an article of manufacture, a stove-polishing brush, composed of one or more body-picces 1 2, in combination wit-h polishing-surface P P or its equivalent, covering A, and sleeve B, substantially as described for the purposes specified.
