PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means of Securing a Sweeping or other similar Brush to-
its Stail or Handle.
I GEORGE HENRY OGDEN of Mayfield, Irlam Road, Flixton Lancashire.
Cashier do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
"This invention relates to means whereby I am enabled to more effectually secure
a sweeping or other similar brush to its stail or handle and by this invention the
stail or handle is fixed to the head without labour.
I effect it in the following manner.―
I make a mortice in the head of brush. I fix at the end of stail or handle a.
metal tenon, which fits the mortice in the head. I drill a screw hole in the
tenon, also I drill a hole in the head of the brush transversely to the mortice,.
so that when the stail or handle is fixed in the mortice in the head, I can pass.
a thumb-screw, through the tenon and thus secure the head and stail firmly
together.
Dated this 16th day of March 1892.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means of Securing a Sweeping or other similar Brush to.
its Stail or Ħandle.
I GEORGE HENRY OGDEN of Mayfield, Irlam Road, Flixton, Lancashire,.
Cashier 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 :-
In the head or stock I make a mortise and drill a hole transversely through
it as shewn in Fig. 1. At the end of the stail or handle, I fix and fasten by
means of two small screws B B Fig. 2, a piece of metal with a tenon C as
shewn in Figs. 2 and 3 to fit the mortise A. Fig. 1. In the tenon C I drill a
hole D. Fig. 3, which is tapped to receive a screw. I place the tenon C in the
mortise A and to hold it firmly and securely in that position pass a thumb--
screw E. through the head or stock and tenon C as shewn in Figs. 2 and 4.
The advantages of my invention are, the head or stock may be attached and
fastened to the stail or handle entirely without difficulty by totally inexperienced
persons, and when once attached, it is not possible for the head or stock to leave
the stail or handle unless the thumb-screw is removed, thus effecting at trifling.
additional expense a great saving of time, and totally avoiding the annoyance at.
present experienced by the use of brushes with heads or stocks insecurely attached
to their stail or handle, also, as all my brush heads or stocks, and stails or handles,.
and fittings, are made to one pattern and size, the stail or handle can be easily and
immediately removed from an old brush, and used for many others in succession,.
thus saving expense.

page_text: 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.
1st. The fastening of brush heads or stocks to their stails or handles, by means
of a metal tenon and thumb-screw.
2nd. Also the mortising of brush heads or stocks to receive the tenon, as shewn
in drawing.
Dated this 22nd day-of November 1892.
