JOHN R. GREENE AND J AMES \V. EGNOR, OF SPENCER, INDIANA.
BROOM-HANDLE EXTENSION.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 347,270, dated August 10, 1886.
Application filed March 9, 1886.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, JOHN R. GREENE and J AMES W. EGNOR, both residents of Spencer, in the county of Owen and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broom-Handle Extensions; and we do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a broom,
showing our improved handle-extension in position: Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a view of the upper end of the extensiomshowing the clamp; and Fig. 4 is a view of the parts of the clamp separated.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Our invention has relation to extensions for the handles of brooms and brushes; and it cou sists in the improved construction and combination of parts of adevice which is secured to the upper end of a pole or handle, and which may be clamped to the end of a handle of a broom or brush, for the purpose of providing the said broom or brush with a longer handle, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, theletterA indicates the handle of a broom, and B is the.
extension-handle, which is simply a pole or stick of any desired length. A clamping-j aw, C, forming a portion of a hollow cylinder, is secured at one end to the extension-handle by means of a screw, D, and fits with its concave side upon the side of the extension-ham dle, projecting with slightly more than onehalf of its length beyond the end of the said handle, and the ends of this jaw are preferably bent slightly inward to form biting-edges E, while the middle of the jaw is slightly bulged out and of a sufficient springiness to yield when drawn toward the other j aw. The other j aw,F, is constructed similarly to the afore-describcd jaw, having its middle slightly bulged out, and havingbiting edges or flangesGat its ends, and
Serial 194,546. (No model.)
the stationary jaw and the loose jaw are both provided at their centers with perforations H and I, the first one ofwhich,H, in the stationary jaw is preferably of a polygonal or irregular shape, for the purpose of accommodating and holding the correspondiugly-shaped shank, J, of a screw-bolt, K, the head L of which bears against the outer side of the stationaryjaw, while its screw-threadedend projects through the perforation of the movablejaw, and is provided with a thumb-nut, M, which may bear against the outer side of the said jaw. It will now be seen that when the stationary jaw has been secured to the extension-handle the end of the broom-haudle may be inserted between the free ends of thejaws, and the movablejaw may be drawn toward the stationary jaw, clamping the extension-handle and the broom-handle between it and the stationary jaw, causing the biting-edges to bite into the handles, and thus parts of the jaws will be straightened, and the springiness of the jaws will hold the said edges toward the handles, biting them. In this manner the handle of a broom, scrubbing or dusting brush, scraper, or other utensil may be held by the clamp upon an extensionhandle of any length, rendering the broom or utensil able to be used upon distant places without the necessity of having to provide the broom or utensil with a long handle, so that a utensil having a handle of the common length may be used withthe handle at its natural length or with a long handle.
Having thus described our invention, we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. In an extension-handle for brooms and similar articles, the combination of ajawforming a. part of a cylinder, and having its middle bulged outward and formed with a polygonal perforation, and having its ends bent to form biting-edges, a similarly-shaped jaw having a round perforation at its middle, a screw-bolt having its shank fitting in the polygonal perforation, and its threaded end passing through the other perforation, and a thumb-nut fitting upon the bolt and bearing against the outer side of the round perforation, as and for the purpose shown and set forth.
to hold the same together, while the bulged 2.
