WASHING STRIP BRUSH Alfred Steiner, Brooklyn, N. Y. Application Februaryl, 1940, Serial No. 316,781
1 Claim.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a washing strip brush.
More specifically, the invention proposes the construction of a strip brush characterized by a sheet of soft flexible material having a plurality of fibers extending therefrom in a manner to form a brush for the purpose of-washing ones back and other parts as the strip is drawn thereacross. i a
Still further it is proposed to loop the groups of fibers over certain of the threads forming the strip of material in a manner so that the adjacent threads will act to securely hold the groups of fibers in position.
Still further it is proposed to arrange the fibers in differently shaped groups along the central area of the sheet offlexible material.
Still further it is proposed to provide additional layers of material superimposed upon said sheet of flexible material and through which the fibers extend in a manner to hold the fibers at right angles to the sheet of material, and'which are adapted to be removed when the fibers become worn away in a manner to increase the life of the brush.
A further object of this invention proposes to form the sheet of flexible material in the form of a glove having the fibers extended from one side thereof and which is engageable upon ones hand in a manner to be used for washing other portions of the body.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, refer ence will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a back view of a person using a washing strip brush in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the brush per se.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig, 2.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of a brush constructed in accordance with a modification of the invention.
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 but illustrating a further modification of the invention.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view similar to a portion of Fig. 2 illustrating a still further modification of the invention.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 1-1 of Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a washing brush glove constructed in accordance with this 'inven-' tion.
The washing strip brush; according :to this invention, includes a sheet of soft flexible material I0 woven of warp threads Ill and weft threads I0 These threads are preferably of sisal or the like material, and while being 'soft is extremely coarse in nature. This flexible material is'adapted to form the base or back of the brush. Fibers H forming the bristles of the brush are looped under certain of thethreads and have their ends adjacent each other above .the flexible material at a localized area thereof. These fiof the sheet of material. The other weft threads Ill and the warp threads lll are adapted to engage the sides of the groups of fibers for securing each of the groups in position upon the threads about which it is looped. I
The ends of the strip of flexible material are provided with a means for permitting the same to be conveniently grasped to move the same laterally across ones back when engaged therearound. This means comprises handle straps I2. These handle straps H! are preferably U-shaped and have the ends of their arms secured to opposite sides of each of the ends of the strip of material ID by means of stitches l3.
The operation of this form of the invention is as follows: v As shown in Fig. 1 the sheet of soft flexible material is engaged across ones back with the fibers H directed inwards. The handle straps l2 are then taken in the hand and are used for imparting a lateral motion to the sheet of material by alternately pulling upon the handles.
According to the modification of the invention shown in Fig. 4 the construction of the washing strip brush is similar to that previously described except that the fibers H are arranged in spaced vertically extending groups Il II and ll at the central area of the sheet of flexible material l0. In other respects this form of the invention is similar to the previous form and like parts are designated by the same reference numerals.
According to the modification of the invention shown in Fig. 5 the construction of the strip brush is also similar to that previously described except that the fibers H are arranged in spaced laterally extending groups N and H In other respects this form of the invention is similar to the previous form.
According to the modification of the invention shown in Figs. 6 and 7 the construction of the washing strip brush is similar to that previously described except that the fibers II are longer than the fibers previously described, and a means is provided for holding them in a right angular position relative to the sheet of flexible material I and which is adapted to be removed as the ends of the bristles become worn for increasing the life ofthe brush. This means; comprises superimposed sheets of material Ill and lo -arranged upon the side of the sheet of material l0 from which the groups of fibers I l ex;- tend. These fibers H, as shown in Fig. 7 are also extended around certain of the weft threads of these layers and similar to the arrangement shown relative to the weft threads of't he sheet of" flexible material I0. I a V V The layer lfl is securely attached to the layer. Ill at its edges by means of basting stitches I4. The layer: P ls secured to the sheet, of material I0 by means of additional basting stitches l5. As the fibers H become worn away and'it is desired to increase the length thereof, it is merely necessary to. cut the, stitches M and re,- move-the layer lfl This will increase the length of the fibers H" and the layer- Hl will remain securely in position upon the sheet of materiah l0. V V V, As the fibers I I become still'shorter it is mere- 1y necessary to remove the layer It to further increase the length thereof. 'In other respects this fornrof the'invent-ion is similar to the previous"form..
According to the modification of the invention. shownin Fig. 8. the strip) brush .isimthe form of a groove. for engagement uponl ones handfor washing. other portions of the body- More specifically, the;strip of softflexible-material I0" is doubled upon itself; andthe edges thereof are securely attached; together means Qf'st-itches- I5. The groups of fibers ll" extend from one face of the sheet of material 10''.
The sides of the adjacent ends of the strip of material l0" are secured together by means of pieces of cloth material l1. These pieces of cloth material I! have their ends secured to the superimposed sides of the sheet of material I0" by means of stitches l8. These strips of cloth material H, in addition to securing these ends togethenpermit the overall' diameter thereof to be greatly increased for providing an enlarged entrance for ones hand to permit the same to be conveniently engaged between the adjacent faces of the sheet of material in a manner to engage the glove upon ones hand. In other respects this form ef-- the invention is similar to the previous forms;
While I. have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I donot limit myself to the precise constructions herein; disclosed. and: the
right is reserved torall' changes anctmodifications;
coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim. Having thusldescribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire toasecure by United: States Letters 'Patent'is: I In a washing, strip brush: having, a cloth back.
with a group of relatively long fibers projected;
beyond the top face of saidcloth: back forming bristles, warp and weft threads woven into a sheet 'of soft flexible material superimposed-upon: saidfsheet'of material and having; the ends: of: said fibers extending upwards" between the.
threads of said. upper sheet of material for reducing the operative length of. said bristles, and
means for releasably attaching said sheets ofmaterial together, whereby the life of said brush may be increased when theends of said bristles become worn away by removing said top-sheet:
of material torincrease the. operative length or the bristles. r r r ALFRED-I'STELNER," I
