Improvements in Means for Securing the Handles to the Stocks or
Heads of Stove Brushes.
I, JOHN ASPINALL of Windmill Yard Shambles Street Barnsley in the County
of York Brush Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:--
My present invention relates to means for securing the handles to the stocks or
heads of Stove Brushes the object being to render the handles more secure than when
fastened in the ordinary way, by the employment of very simple and effective means;
to attain which I bind each part of the handle where it comes in contact with the
head or stock by a wire or other metal staple loop or binding and I prefer that the
part or parts of said binding which enters or passes through the brush head or stock
should run obliquely to the horizontal plane of said stock. When the binding is in
the form of a staple its ends may enter at either side of the handle into the stock or
may pass through the stock and be secured or tied in any suitable way, or the binding
may be in the form of a loop and its ends tied together on the underside of brush
head.
In some cases the binding inay bear over the parts of handle which are in contact
with the head or one part may bear in a hole in the handle or both parts may bear in
holes formed in the handle.
Any number of binders may be used as desired and the said binding may be either
square, round, flat, half round or other convenient shape in cross section.
In combination with my said improved binding ordinary screws or nails may be
employed.

5 Improvements in Means for Securing the Handles to the Stocks or
Heads of Stove Brushes.
I, JOHN ASPINALL, of Windmill Yard, Shambles Street, Barnsley, in the County of
York, 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
O ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to means for securing the handles to the stocks or heads of
stove brushes, the object being to render the handles more secure than when

page_text: fastened in the ordinary way and my invention consists in the employment of a
simple and effective means for attaining said object and will be well understood by
the aid of the accompanying drawings and the following description thereof.
Fig. 1. is a side view of stove brush with my improvements applied. Fig. 2. is an
end view and Fig. 3.a plan of same.
Similar letters of reference denote corresponding parts in each view.
The handle A is bound or additionally secured to the head or stock B by wire or
metal staples, loops, or bindings C which preferably pass through holes formed in
said handle and enters or passes through the stock or head B and said staples C are
fixed at each end of handle obliquely to the horizontal plane of stock as shown Fig. 1.
I show the binding C with its ends entering the head or stock but it will be
obvious that where found convenient said ends may pass right through the stock and
may be tied together or twisted.
I show the bindings or loops C to bear in cr pass through holes formed in the
handle for their reception but it will also be obvious that where desired the loops C
may bear over the handle or within grooves formed at each side of handle.
Of course where preferred the staples loops or bindings may be placed or fixed
vertically with the horizontal plane of stock as will be well understood.
In combination with said improved staples, loops or bindings, ordinary screws d or
nails may be used to give an additional security.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
1. In means for securing the handles to the stocks or heads of stove brushes the
use of staples, hoops or bindings arranged substantially as described.
