The concave portion, in easily and more firmly held in the hand advance of this head and in the rear of the while being operated, and whereby the hand closure 16, isadapted to receive the ball of of the operator will be protected from comthe hand.

ing drawing-s, forming a part of this speci- At the front end of the device and upon fication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all opposite sides, I provide thumb and finger pockets which facilitate the firm gripping the figures, and in Wh1Cl1 Figure 1 is a top lan view of a device of the device and at the same time protectconstructed in accor nce with in inventhe hand. The side walls 10 and 11 are each tion; Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal secprovided with concave recesses 19, so distion; Fig. 3 is an inverted plan View; Fig. posed that when the device is properly held 4 is a sectional detail on the. line 4-4 of In the hand, the thumb will enter one of these recesses and the fingers will enter the recess upon the opposite side.
Upon one side of the rubber there is provided a thumb pocket 20. This pocketis open at the rear end to receive the thumb, and flares outwardly and has its free edge rolled over so that it cannot cut or injure the hand. The pocket at its front end presents a curved end wall 21, substantially concentric with the corresponding recesses 19 and perforated to permit the escape of any water which may collect in the pocket. Upon the opposite side of the device there is a finger pocket 22, somewhat similar to the thumb pocket 20, but larger in size and opening more toward the top of the device than. toward the rear. This pocket also flares outwardly, incloses the corresponding recess in the side wall and is perforated for the escape of water. With the hand gripping the l device as illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 2, the thumb will beprotected by one pocket and the fingers will be protected by the other, while the receses 19 facilitate the To all whom it may concern:
My improved device is preferably formed of sheet metal and is of such size and such shape that it will comfortably fit the hand. The device has two oppoente substantial parallel side walls 10 and II and a circumferential wall formed of a single piece of metal. This circumferential wall starts upon the upper side of the device adjacent the front end thereof and extends outwardly across the front to form a front wall 12 and thence rearwardly to form the bottom wall 13. This bottom wall is corrugated transversely and fits the notched lower edge of At the rear of the corrugated bottom the sheet of metal extends upwardly to form a rear wall 14 and thence forwardly to form a top wall 15. The front edge of the top wall terminates midway between the ends of the device, and the remaining space between the front. endge of the wall 15, and the upper edge of the front wall 12, is filled by a hinged closure 16. This closure is preferably hinged at its front end to the'upfirm gripping of the device and the bead or transverse flange 18 tends to prevent the device from slipping forward out of the hand.
lhe top concave wall 15 is provided with a lurality of openings of various sizes, which prevent the accumulation of any wateron top of the rubber beneath the hand and at the same time permit the entrance of the water to the interior of the rubber.
't' i ithin the body of the rubber there is provided a reticulated metal partition 23, preferably formed ofwire gauze and placed a short distance from the corrugated bottom 13. This partition serves to support soap or other solid detergent, so that the water may gain access thereto, yet the water in surging from the rubber will not act upon the soap to any great extent. At the front end of the device and just below the nose portion 17, there is provided a transverse row of apertures 2a, through which the soapy water may escape on to the clothes directly in advance of the corrugated or roughened rubbing surface 18.
Having described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
l. A hand rubber comprising oppositely disposed sheet metal side walls, a circumferential sheet metal wall including a front wall and a corrugated bottom wall, a rear wall and a top well, each merging into the other by curved intermediate portions, and a hinged closure extending from the upper edge of the front wall to'the front edge of the top wall.
2. A hand rubber, comprisin oppositelydisposed sheet metal side wa ls provided with. cavities or recesses to receive the thumb and fingers, a circumferential sheet metal wall secured to said side walls and having a corrugated bottom, a top having a perfo rated concave portion adapted to receive the ball of the hand, a rear wall, and a perforated inclined front wall, perforated sheet metal pockets secured to said side walls adjacent said recesses, for protecting the av tar thumb and fingers, and a closure hinged to the upper edge of the front wall and having its free end extending to the front edge of the top wall. v

5. A clothes scrubber in which is comprised a hollow body provided with an imperforatc, corrugated bottom, said body having openings in the top thereof and at the end, a cover at the top of the body, and a wire gauze division within the body, sub stantially as shown and described,
6. A clothes scrubber in which is comprised a hollow body having an imperforate, corrugated bottom, said body being provided with perforations in the top thereof and at one end, said top being also provided with a depression to accommodate the palm of the hand, finger pieces at each side of the body, and aneinterior gauze division substantially as shown and described.
in testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
