PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Stable Brushes, viz., Dandy,
Horse (Body), Water, and Spoke Brushes.
GEORGE JOHN HOBBS 16/17 Gooch Street Birmingham Brush Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
These brushes are made with two pieces of wood, one forming the board into
which holes are bored, to receive the material viz. whisk, kittool, fibre, bristle, or
mixture, as the case may be, which is drawn into the holes with a wire which will
not rust or be affected any ways by damp, the back of the brush, is then covered
with a glutinous liquid, which is also impervious to moisture, which makes the
knots of whisk or other material doubly secured.
The back is afterwards glued on, & then secured by two long screws being put
in from the front of the brush & then fashioned in such a manner as to fit
the hand better thus giving a firmer grip, than those made in the old style of
manufacture.
The object of this invention is to allow these brushes to be used freely in water
without the danger of their falling to pieces as the old ones do.
By putting the screws in from the front of the brush, instead of the back (as is
doue at present), I avoid cutting the wire, besides securing the back to the board
more firmly, & under these improvements I am enabled to sell this class of brushes
considerably cheaper.

GEORGE JOHN HOBBS 16/17 Gooch Street Birmingham Brush Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of this invention, is to allow these brushes to be used freely in
water, without the danger of them falling to pieces, as the old sort do, & for this
purpose, these brushes are made with two pieces of wood a & b one b, forming the
board, into which holes are bored to receive the material, viz., whisk, C, kittool,
fibre, bristle, or mixture, as the case may be which is drawn into the holes of
the board b, with a wire d, which will not rust or be anyways affected with the
damp.
The back of the brush, h, is then covered with a glutinous liquid E, which is
also impervious to moisture, which makes the knots of whisk C, or other material
Jahl cocured

page_text: The back, a, is afterwards glued ou, & then secured, by two long screws f, being
driven in from the front of the brush b, then the back a, is so fashioned with a
higher surface G, so as to fit the hand better, thus giving the user, a firmer grip,
than brushes made in the old style.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of my said inven- 5
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
1. The use of a glutinous liquid E, on the back of the brush, k, substantially as
shown, & for the purpose hereinbefore described.
2. Securing the brush, h, to the back, a, by two screws, t, put in from the 1
front of the brush, substantially as shown & for the purpose hereinbefore
described.
3. A brush back, fashioned with a higher surface, G, to fit the hand better,
substantially as shown, & for the purpose hereinbefore described.
4. A brush constructed substantially as hereinbefore described and shown in the 1
