IMPRO'VED BLACKING-BRUSH.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making parl: of the same.

MPF-

YI, GEORGE W. LIsHAwA, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Blacking-Brush, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the construct-ion and arrangement, upon the top of the blacking-brush, of a case for holding the blacking-box, and to the rotatory and" hinged danber upon the top of the brush, with which it is connected.

Figure lis a plan of a Ablacking-brush embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional elevation ot' the same. A represents an ordinary blacking-brush.

B is a case, of a form adapted to receive the blacking-box C. l

The case is provided with the handle a, secured to the top ofthe hinged cover b of the case B.

The spring-catch c is secured to the barrel of the case B, farthest from the handle of the brush. It is so constructed that the edge of the cover b of the case enters the recess in its free end, when the case is closed.

The cylindrical stud D is secured, and is vertical to the top of the brush, and is located between the blacking-box case and the end ofthe brush'.

The upper end of said stud is recessed one-half its Across the face of the recess is constructed the gutter d, having a form adapting it to receive lthe arm E of the dauber-brush F, when pressed into it by the action of the spring e, which is 4secured to lthe foot ofthe stud D.

The neck-f of the dauber isen'circled by the ringed lend of the arm E. This Iring his pressed into close contact with the under face of the body of the dauber, by the action of the spiralspring, acting between it and the handle G, a continuation of the neck of the dauber. l

lllebox of' blacking O is placed in the case B, and firmly secured by means of the 'set-screw g, and the cover b of the case shut down. When the operation of blacking the boot or shoe is to be. proceeded with, the dauber F is revolved over until the brush is brought into contact with the blacking in the box C, the cover of the case having been thrown'back to-permit its entrance within the case. The dauber-brush is rotated by turning the handle G, which is rigidly secured to it. A suiiicient amount of blacking having been transfel-redl to the dauber, it is revolved back until the handie G comes in contact with the top of the brush A, andthe spring shall have pressed the arm E into the gutter d, in the stud D, when the dauber may be used io vtransferthe blacking to the boot or shoe.

1t is obvious that the brush herein described may be used without soiling the operator, and may be manipulated with ease.

I claim, as my invention- 1. -The stud D, arm E, and spring e, when coustructed and arranged to operate in the manner here-- iu set forth.

2. The construction and arrangement'of the dauber F, spring h, and arm E, as and for the purpose set forth and described.
