DESIGN FOR A HAT OR CLOTHES BRUSH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 17,404, dated June 21. 1887,

Application filed March 18, lSB'l. Serial No. 231.449. Term of patent! years.

To all whom it nuty concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES T. GROSJEJLN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented and produced a new and original Design for Hat or Clothes Brushes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming partthereof.

Figure 1 is a top or plan view of my newlydesigned hat or cloth brush. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, and Fig. 3 is an end viewof the same. Figs. 1, 1", 1, and 1 are sectional views on the lines a. a, b b, c c, and d d of Fig. 1, respectively.

My design consists in the shape or configuration of the brush so far as it relates to the outline or exterior curve of the body of the brush, as that is shown in atop or plan view.

The present design differs essentially in its character and effect from any design based upon the oval, the elliptical, or the rectangular.

The design consists in the outline of the brush, as shown in Fig. 1. The sidelines of the brush are long, compared with the topand bottom lines, and are curved very slightly both at their middleportions and during the greater part of their lengths; but at their ends the curve is'increased or sharpened, so as to meet the curving ends of the top and bottom lines. 3

The toplineof the brush is also curved slightly and delicately, and the bottom line is formed substantially as the top line.

This design gives apecnliar and subtle riehness and fullness to the appearance of the brush, such as cannot be obtained by any variety of ovalor elliptical forms, and yetavoids the stiffness and abruptness of any reetangitlarr form. The design combines, therefore, the completeness of the rectangular form with a gracefulness and beauty superior to the oval or elliptical, and produces an artistic motive or life distinct from anythinghitherto known.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure
