BRUSH-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 18, 1908.
Application filed December 24, 1907. Serial No. 407,974.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM N. LEwIs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Abingdon, in the county of Knox and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Brush-Holders; and I do eclare the following to bee 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.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in brush holders.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a simple, light and durable spring andle of improved construction, and an imroved form of adjustable fastening means or fastening the handle in position to a brush or other analogous object.
In the accom anying drawings:-Figure 1 is a view in si e elevation, illustrating the application of the invention to a brush; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 1 with parts bro en away; Fig. 4 is a cross section taken on line 44 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the clamping member.
Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates the improved spring handle, here shown attached to a brush 2, but which may be attached to other analogous articles. The handle comprises a stick 3, preferably of wood and of any form, and a spring member 4. This spring member is formed froma single piece of'wire or other flexible element bent to form a socket member 5, the coils at the outer portion of the socket member being of uniform diameter to form a straight body portion 6, and the coils at the inner portion thereof being of less diameter to form an inner reduced portion 7. Before bending the wire to form the socket member it is bent to form a straight loop 8, the latter being preferably disposed at an obtuse angle with the former, the'purpose of which will be shown.
The fastening means for the loop comprises an upright fastening screw, clamping member and thumb nut, 9, 10 and 11 respectively. The fastening screw is arranged to extend throu h a corresponding aperture in the back strip 12 of the brush, the head of said screw being arranged against the inner face of the brush. The clamping member is made from a fiat rectangular piece of metal bent to form a curved body portion, and straight side Walls 13 and 14, respectively, the edges of the latter being suitably recessed, as at 15, to receive the side pieces of the loop. The thumb nut is adapted to be screwed on the threaded end of the fastening screw and clamp the loop between the clamp ing member, and the back strip of the brush. By arranging this loop at an inclination, as shown, by slightly lifting the brush at the end of the stroke, the spring member will give the same a quick forward movement and throw the dirt or other debris therefrom. By this arrangement the brush is cleaned automatically and prolongs the life of the bristles as it renders it unnecessary to strike the brush against the floor or other object to cause separation of the dirt therefrom.
In such cases where it is preferable to use the brush endwise fashion, as in cleaning around boxes, in corners or around fixtures, the stick or handle 3 may be swung at right angles to its position as shown in Fig. 1, or arranged in a common plane with the back strip of the brush, by partly unscrewing the thumb nut 10. 4
Having described my invention, I claim Incombination with a brush, a spring member comprising a socket member and a flat loop extending from the socket member, a stick attached to the spring member, a clamping member comprising spaced side walls extending across the loop, the outer side edges of the walls of said clamping member being formed with longitudinally spaced recesses to receive the side pieces of the loop, a fastening screw extending through the back piece of the brush, between the side pieces of the loop and the body portion of the clamping mem er, and a clamping nut screwing on the fastening screw to clamp the loop between the clamping member and back strip of the brush.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- IIBSSGS.
- WILLIAM N. LEWIS.
