more nor less than oldfashioned cal

son is the improvement in the pat

the scrubbing brush shown in the cu1

covering a great deal of floor spacs
as 1t moves along, but the action OF
its brstles on the floor is increased
as n rotary motion is impaired to 10

This feature is said to decrease tho

advantage is that 1t does Its work
without the necessity OF bring the
operator Into his or her hands and

The scrubibng brush has two long
handles. one OF which is held In each

are pivoted to post on top OF tho
brush head, and by means OF rack:
and pinion arrangement carried on tho
upper part of the brush head the
brush is given a rotary motion as the
handles are moved toward and away
from each other. At the same time
