PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Vice for use in the Manufacture of Brushes.
I, ANDREW HOUSTOUN MORIER, of 145, Argyle Street, Glasgow, Brush
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
=
This invention relates to an improved arrangement for holding the stocks of
brushes firmly while the hair, bristle or other substance is being drawn in to the
stock. The invention consists of two jaws which are suitably shaped and of sufficient.
length to catch and hold fast the sides of the brush. One of these jaws is fixed to
the framework of the apparatus, while the other is attached to a screw working in
a nut by which it can be moved nearer to, or farther from the other jaw. The brush
stock is placed between the two jaws, and by means of the screw the two jaws are
brought together and the brush stock is firmly held between them. A bracket is
attached to the framework by which the apparatus can be fixed to a bench.

I, ANDREW HOUSTON MORIER, of 145, Argyle Street, Glasgow, North
Britain, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved arrangement for holding the stocks of
brushes firmly, while the hair, bristle, or other substance is being drawn in to the
stock. The invention consists of two jaws which are suitably shaped and of sufficient
length to catch and hold fast the sides of the brush. One of these jaws is fixed to
the framework of the apparatus, while the other is attached to a screw working in
a nut, by which it can be moved nearer to or further from the other jaw. The
brush-stock is placed between the two jaws, and by means of the screw the two
jaws are brought together and the brush-stock is firmly held between them.
bracket is attached to the framework, by which the apparatus can be fixed to a
bench.
A
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawing.
In the drawing, A and B are the two jaws, the upper one A being rigidly attached
to the framework, while the lower one B is moveable up and down by means of the
screw (, working in the nut h, which forms part of the jaw B. The two jaws are
suitably shaped so as to catch the brush-stock firmly, and have a flange formed on
them as shown in dotted lines, which prevents the stock being pulled out of the vice
while the hair, bristle, or other substance is being drawn into the stock.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
The improved vice for holding the stocks of brushes, consisting of two jawa
suitably shaped for holding the stock, and having a flange formed on them,
substantially as described.
