CHARLES A. BUTT, OF NORTHEAST, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- I-IALF TO MARTIN V. SICKIJY, OF MACON, MICHIGAN.
LAUNDRY AND $CRUBBING BRUSH.
SPEGIFEGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 48,602, dated March 17, 1891. Application filed July 28, 1890- Serial No. 359,687. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES A. BUTT, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at North East, in the county of Erie andState of Pennsylvania, l'iaveinvented certain new and use ful Improvements in Laundry and Scrubbing Brushes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, forming part of this specification.
My invention consists in the improvements in laundry and scrubbing brushes hereinafter set forth and explained,and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved laundry and scrubbing brush. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same.
Like letters refer to like parts in both the figures.
The object of my invention is to construct a hand laundry and scrubbing brush having an adjustable brush, a movable or oscillating scraper, and a pressure-roller so combined in a hand-frame as to be adapted to be used for either laundry purposes or for scrubbing, as desired.
In the construction of my impro vcd laundry and scrubbing brush shown, A A are the ends of the frame, preferably made of cast metal, having rectangular sockets (0 CL cast in the inside faces of the upper part thereof, in which the ends of a wooden handle B are inserted, the whole being held together by a longitudinal rod C, and screws 6 in the ends of the brush-block E, hereinafter described. At one side of the lower part of the said ends AA of the frame and on the inside faces thereof I also cast vertical flanges D D, of such distance apart that the ends of the bruslrblock IE will slide up and down between said flanges I) D, and midway between said flanges I cast vertical slots d, through which screws 6 pass into the ends of the brush-block E, so that the brush-block may be adjusted to compensate for the wear of the brushes F therein.
In ears f, extending downward below the flanges D, I place a longitudinal rod G, adapted to support the outer side of the brush F, to prevent its being broken over by too strong pressure being applied thereto.
In the lower part of the sides of the frame A A opposite the brush E F,I mount a pressr.re-roller H, made of wood or such other material as may he desired, and in ears h, above the roller II, I mount the arms I I of a scraper .I formed, preferably, of shectmetal. These arms extend inward to a point nearly midwaybetween the brush E F and the roller H, and thence the same are bent downward at an angle, so as to extend downward be tween the brush and roller. To the lower edge L of the scraper J, I secure a longitudinal strip of rubber M, preferably by making a foldl in the lower edge of the scraper J and inserting the upper edge of the strip of rubber M therein.
From the arms I I of the scraper J small spiral retracting-springs N extend to and are secured on the under side of the ends of the handle B, which springs normally hold the 7 scraper .I in a raised position, as shown by full lines in Fig. 2, with the lower edge L of the scraper in contact with the inner side of the brush, so as to prevent its being broken overby too great pressure being exerted there- So on. However, when it is desired to operate the scraper J it is depressed by the fingers of the operator, as illustrated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2, and, when released, instantly returns to its normally-raised position.
I am aware that brushes having rollers on each side thereof are not new, and also that stationary rollers and brushes and rubbers have been heretofore used; but I am not aware of any device in which a single press- Lire-roller, an adjustable brush, and a movable scraper have been combined so as to operate as my device does; therefore,
Having fully described my invention, so as to enable others to construct and use the same, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. The combination, in a laundry and scrubbing brush, of a vertically-adjustable brush and a pressure-roller mounted in a frame, I00
with a vertically-movable scraper mounted the lower part thereof, a transverse rod G in said frame between the brush and the for supporting the outside of the brush, and roller, substantially as set forth. a vertically-moving scraper I .T L, substan- 2.
