I GEORGE OTLEY of No. 29 Havelock Street Great Grimsby Lincolnshire General
Dealer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object the Sweeping and prevention of Fouling of
Chimneys whereby a great saving will be effected as to cost of Sweeping and
preventing destruction to Chimneys.
The Apparatus which I use consists of a Hollow Cylinder of Iron containing a
Spring which is affixed to the bottom which spring surrounds and is attached to a
cylindrical bar of Steel which is worked with a vertical and at the same time a diagonal
motion by tension upon the same spring by a chain of any length, the diagonal motion
is caused by a bar of steel being affixed laterally, which acts through two opposite
diagonal slots cut in the cylinder. The aforesaid Cylinder is attached by a parallelo-
piped bar of Iron to and through a Cylindrical block of Wood at the top of the same
filled with bristles forming a brush, laterally, which revolves with the impetus given to
it by the motion of the aforesaid cylinder. To the top of this is affixed the other end
of the aforesaid chain, by a swivel, which chain is carried round and supported by a
grooved pulley which is attached by an iron axle to an iron pendant which hangs
securely bolted to two transverse bows of iron which are supported and attached to
an Iron rim of any diameter to affix to any Chimney top opening.
The Apparatus is worked by a Chain of any length from the base with a vertical
motion by manual labor.
Dated this 24th day of December 1887.

page_text: I GEORGE OTLEY of No. 29 Havelock Street Great Grimsby, County of Lincoln,
General Dealer 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 Apparatus which I use consists of a Hollow Cylinder of Iron, marked A on
the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 and 2, containing a Spring B which is affixed to
the bottom which spring surrounds and is attached to a cylindrical bar of Steel C
which is worked with a vertical and at the same time a diagonal motion by tension
upon the same spring by a chain of any length D. The diagonal motion is caused by
a bar of steel E being affixed laterally which acts through two opposite diagonal slots
cut in the cylinder. The aforesaid Cylinder is attached by a parallelopiped bar of
Iron F to and through a Cylindrical Block of Wood G at the top of the same, filled
with bristles laterally, forming a brush H which revolves with the impetus given to it
by the motion of the aforesaid cylinder, to the top of this is affixed the other end of
the aforesaid Chain by a swivel I which chain is carried round and supported by a
grooved pulley J which is attached by an iron axle to an iron pendant K which hangs
securely bolted to two transverse bars of iron L which are supported and attached to
an Iron rim M of any diameter, to affix to any Chimney top opening.
The Apparatus is worked by a chain D of any length, from the base with a Vertical
Motion by Manual Labor.
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 I
claim is
Firstly. That the mode of Sweeping and Prevention of Fouling of Chimneys herein-
before described will be a great saving as to Cost of Sweeping.
Secondly. That it will be a prevention of destruction to Chimneys.
Thirdly. The apparatus is herein described and represented on the Drawings here-
unto annexed.
