Year: 1884

page_text: I SAMUEL MORLEY of 27 Lorne Street Stockton on Tees in the County of
Durham Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVE-
MENT IN BRUSHES FOR WASHING AND WHITEWASHING CATTLE TRUCKS
CARRIAGES, AND APPLICABLE TO ALL OTHER BRUSHES to be as follows :—
AND
This invention is calculated to save one half of the time, labour, and water
required to wash or whitewash railway carriages, cattle and other trucks, carts
and carriages, floors yards and for general purposes, by doing away with the
necessity of continually dipping the brush into a pail or tub to get it wet.
It is done by inserting down the centre of the handle of the brush a tube of
brass or iron. On the head of the brush a T piece is fastened-On the T piece there
are four or more small tubes which form jets, and these four or more small tubes
are inserted through corresponding holes bored in the brush head-These tubes are
placed in such a position as to spread the water or whitewash on the required
place of the article being washed-One end of the handle of the brush is screwed
on the T piece, on the other is fixed a tap and couplings on to which an india
rubber hose connected with waterworks, tanks, tubs or other water supply is
attached-This system is applicable to all other brushes-When whitewashing is
required to be done all that is necessary is, to put a sufficient quantity of slaked
lime in a tank or tub of water, and the pressure may be obtained by placing the
tank or tub on a higher level than the work, or by using a force pump. If desired
the water may be conveyed down the handle of the brush by a rubber hose fastened
on the outside.

MENTS IN BRUSHES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-

desired the water may be conveyed down the handle of the brush by a rubber hose
fastened outside.
(Fig 1) is a section, and (Fig 2) is an end elevation of the apparatus. (a.) is a
flexible tube attached to the coupling (b.), which coupling, screws on the inside
tube (d.) which runs through the wood handle (c.), the tube (d.) is screwed into
the T piece, (e.g.) this T piece carries several small tubes (h.) the ends of which
are level with the brush sole (l.), this is screwed on the stock (i) with the
screws (5), the stock (i) is fastened to the T piece, (o.g) with the staples (f.).
(k) are the brush bristles.
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 clain is: In Brushes for scrubbing, whitewashing, painting etc. conducting the
liquid to be applied to the head of the brush, through a tube passing along the
handle, either inside or outside substantially as described.
