I, THOMAS DEANE, 25, Howard Street, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements in or relating to brushes, the object
being to enable the parts of the brush and wearing surfaces to be renewed when
required.
For purposes of illustration I will now describe my invention as applied to a
black lead brush. In this case what is known or termed as the nose of the
brush is removably attached thereto, for the purpose of enabling the renewal
to be made when required. Of course it will be understood that the detachable
Fortion or portions may be employed at any convenient part of the brush and
may be affixed thereto by any convenient means. I find it convenient to tongue
and groove the parts to be connected, and secure them by means of a screw bolt
or pin, and by the employment of a washer composed of india rubber or other
suitable material, which is interposed between the gripping surface of the screw
pin and the surface upon which it bears, a better grip is obtained. Any suit-
able form of handle may be attached to the brush in any convenient manner.
By this arrangement, when what are known as the bristles, are worn, the section
carrying the worn bristles may be removed and another section secured in its
place. In other words the invention consists in forming the brush or body
carrying the bristles in two or more sections for the purpose of renewal of one
or other of the sections as required, these sections being secured together by any
well known or convenient arrangement.
Improvements in or relating to Brusnes.
I, THOMAS DEANE, 25, Howard Street, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, Cotton
Mill Operative, 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 :-

or other of the sections as required, these sections being secured together by any
well known or convenient arrangement.
For purposes of illustration, I will now refer to the annexed drawings in
which:
Figure 1 is a plan view shewing my invention..
Figure 2, plan view shewing detachable piece removed.
Figure 3, side elevation of Figure 1.
a is the main body of the brush, provided with the handle b of any well
known form of construction, e being the bristles. d is a detachable portion
carrying the bristles e, this detachable portion d is tongued and grooved at f
and for the purpose of engagement with the tongues and grooves h and i upon
the body a of the brush. The dotted lines j in Figure 2 indicate apertures for
the reception of the securing screws as shewn in Figure 1, 7 being a washer
of rubber or other suitable material for ensuring the security of the screw k
when in position.
It will be seen that when the bristles e which are usually the first to become
worn in a brush of this description, by moving the screws k, the detachable
portion d may be removed and a fresh portion carrying new bristles secured in
its place. Brushes of this description, such as what are known as black lead
brushed, frequently become unservicable, owing to the wearing out of the
bristles a long before the bristles are worn, and this invention is desired to
obviate this objection.
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 brushes of the class herein described, the combined construction and
arrangement of the various parts, substantially as described and illustrated herein
and for the purpose set forth.
2. In brushes of the class herein described in combination therewith, a
detachable portion or portions carrying bristles, the engaging surface of the
detachable portion being provided with tongues and grooves adapted to engage
in corresponding tongues and grooves formed upon the body of the brush securing
screws in conjunction, and washers for attaching the movable portion to the
body of the brush, a handle upon said brush, substantially as described and
illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
