Mechanical Engineer, 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 :-
A circular brush the hair of which is attached to a wooden barrel revolving
upon an axle, upon each end of the brush is placed a handle; motion is imparted
by means of a spring (wound by turning the handle & axle) & train of wheels with
starting & stopping lever all enclosed in a gear case placed at one end of the brush.
Referring to the annexed drawings,
Fig. 1. is a sectional side elevation of my invention.
Fig. 2. sectional end elevation of gear or wheel case.
a is the central spindle upon which the casing b revolves having ball bearing c.
This casing b. carries the circular brush body having the bristles e. f is a cam
rod acted upon by the spring g & pivoted at h the end of said cam rod bearing
upon the brush through the action of the spring 9; the pivoted end of the cam rod
bearing upon the brush for the purpose of stopping the rotation of the brush when
desired. The end of the casing b carries a toothed wheel i which gears into a toothed
wheelj having bearings in the outer cover or casing k which is attached to the
handle p. This wheel j gears by means of the small wheel l. into the toothed
drum m. which encloses the clock spring r. one end of which is attached to the
drum m. the other end being attached to the fixed spindle a. A pawl n is attached
to the outer cover or casing k. which gears into a ratchet wheel q. attached to the
