Patented May 11, 1943 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE sHoE POLISH BRUSH Joseph Arena, Brooklyn, IY.
Application May 2o, 1941,- ser'ial No. 3943339 s claims. (o1. 13 176) This invention relates to brushes. It is particularly directed to a shoe brush or dauber, and the like articles.
It is well known that in shoe brushes or daubers such as used by bootblacks, the bristles wear away faster at one end than at the other. therefore an object of the present invention to provide a brush of the character described, in which the bristle carrying portion of the brush may be turned 150 degrees and attached to the handle in a new position, so that the bristles which have worn away least will be at the place where they get the most use.
A further object of this invention is to provide a strong, rugged and compact brush of the character described, which shall be relatively inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, and yet practical and efficient to a high degree in use.
Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which the scope of application will be indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of the various possible illustrative embodiments of this invention,
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a brush embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view thereof, with parts broken away and in cross-section;
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the handle only;
Fig. 4 is an end View of the brush, taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 3.
Referring now in detail to the drawing, I designates a brush embodying the invention. The same comprises a handle portion II and a head I2. The handle II is provided with a longitudinal opening I3 terminating short of the rear end of the handle and extending to the front end I4 of said handle. The handle II is furthermore formed with an opening I crossing the opening I3 and extending to the upper surface I6 of the handle.
The opening I5 is substantially rectangular in cross-section and inserted therein is a nut I9. The nut I9 has a screw threaded axial opening 2'0 co-axial with the opening I3. The portion of the opening I5 above the nut I9 may be closed by a plug 22, the upper surface of which is flush with the upper surface I8 of the handle II Fixed' to' the forward ad er tnenaadie aeextdirg forwardly' t'le'frif, and on bppsit sides of opening I3 are a pair of parallel prongs 23, for the purpose hereinafter appearing. There is furthermore attached to the front surface I4 of the handle, a rubber gasket 25.
The head I2 carries the brush bristles or fibres 33. Said head is formed with a through opening 3| adapted to register with the opening I3. The head I2 has flat front and rear surfaces 36 and 31. Said surfaces are formed with recessed portions 36a and 31a. At the center of the said recess portions 36a and 31a are countersunk openings 36h and 31h co-axial with the through opening 3|.
Said head I2 is furthermore formed with pairs of parallel sockets 40 and 4I extending to the recessed surfaces 36a and 31a, respectively. The sockets 40 and 4I are aligned with the prongs 23.
As shown in the drawing, the prongs 23 project into the sockets 49. Head I2 is attached to the handle by means of a longitudinal screw 45 having a head 46 at one end and a screw threaded portion 4'I at the other end screwed within the screw threaded opening 20 of the nut I9. Within the recess 31a and the countersunk 31h is a metal gasket 50 adapted to receive the head 46 of the screw 45. Upon turning the screw, the head is pressed against the rubber gasket 2'5.
When the outer end portions of the bristles 30 wear away, the whole head may be reversed. This may be done by first unscrewing the screw 45, taking off the head, turning it degrees and reinserting the screw. Of course, the gasket 50 is removed and placed at the opposite end of the head. When reversed, the prongs 23 enter the sockets 4 I.
It will now be understood that the head may be very easily reversed and fixed to the handle in such position. Y
It will be noted that the metal gasket 50 covers the socket openings at the outer end of the brush.
It will thus be seen that there is provided a device in which the several objects of this invention are achieved, and which is well adapted to meet the conditions of practical use.
As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention, and as various changes might be made in the embodiment above set forth, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent; f
1. A brush comprising a handle and a headg said handle being formed with a longitudinal opening, said head being formed with a through opening registering with the opening in the handle, said handle being formed with an opening communicating with the longitudinal opening thereof, a nut Within said second opening in the handle, a pair of parallel prongs attached to the forward ends of the handle and extending forwardly therefrom, said head having sockets at opposite ends thereof adapted to receive said prongs, and a screw extending through the opening in the head and through the longitudinal opening in the handle, and screwed to the nut in the handle.
2. A brush comprising a handle and a head, said handle being formed with a longitudinal opening, said head being formed with a through opening registering with the opening in the han-` dle, said handle being formed with an opening communicating with the longitudinal opening thereof, a nut within said second opening in the handle, a pair of parallel prongs attached to the forward ends of the handle and extending forwardly therefrom, said head having sockets at opposite ends thereof adapted to receive said prongs, a screw extending through the opening in the head and through the longitudinal opening in the handle, and screwed to the end of the handle, and a rubber gasket attached to the forward end of the handle and adapted to be contacted by the head.
3. A brush comprising a handle and a head, said handle and head being formed with registering openings, a nut embedded within the handle, a screw extending through said registering openings and screwed to said nut, said handle being formed with a pair of parallel prongs, and said head having pairs of parallel sockets at opposite ends thereof adapted to receive said prongs, and a gasket for the head of said screw adapted to cover the sockets at the adjacent end of the head.
