I, ELISHA REDGRAVE, of Holly House, Whilton, near Daventry, Northampton-

and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:--
An improved broom for sweeping chimneys and clearing out chimney pots
of square construction with a detachment attached or screwed on to the top of
the broom to clear out chimney pots that are choked or stoped up with incrusted
soot. The broom is composed of a small square of wood for the centre, with
screw in centre for rods or canes to screw into the four sides being fitted and

to D which is the rod or cane and E, E, shews the pliable brackets and wheels
attached to the rod D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. The invention to be entirely new, being more easily propelled up the
chimney with the aid of wheels attached.
2. The broom is made square, and as all house chimneys are built square, it
is more adapted for the work it has to do.
3. The whole of the invention is new, as well as novel, the chimney pot cleaner
being well adapted for its work, and the whole apparatus can be worked by any
ordinary unskilled workman, being of the most simple character.
