Improvements in Brushes for Cleansing Tubs and the like Vessels.
I, JOHN WILLIAM PRATT CHADWICK, of 19, Adswood Lane East, Stockport, in
the County of Chester, Brewer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to improvements in brushes for cleansing tubs and the
like vessels, say brewers' and other tubs, vats, coolers and other vessels of round
or square form, the object being to provide a form of brush whereby the bottom,
side and groove at the bottom of the tub or the like vessel can be cleansed simul-
taneously thus dispensing with the use of two separate brushes and the necessity
of the workman bending into the tub or vessel, which is a great saving of time
and labour.
To this end make the bristles longer at each end than at the middle of the
brush head and gradually increasing in length from the top or stail side to the
underside of the brush head which form of brush facilitates the cleansing of
any size of round or square vessel and the groove at the bottom where such
exists simultaneously.
The underside of the brush head, preferably rounded off, I furnish also with
bristles which form a continuation of the side bristles and facilitate the cleansing
of the bottom of the tub simultaneously with the sides and the groove at the
bottom.

Improvements in Brushes for Cleansing Tubs and the like Vessels.
I, JOHN WILLIAM PRATT CHADWICK, of 19, Adswood Lane East, Stockport, in
the County of Chester, Brewer, 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:—
This invention relates to improvements in brushes for cleansing tubs and the
like vessels, say brewers' and other tubs, vats, coolers and other vessels of round
or square form, the object being to provide a form of brush whereby the bottom,
sides and groove at the bottom of the tub or the like vessel can be cleansed simul-
taneously thus dispensing with the use of two separate brushes and the necessity

and labour.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused
to be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is an end view and Fig. 2 a plan of my improved form of brush. Fig. 3
is a sectional view of a barrel showing how the brush is used.
In carrying out my invention and referring to Figs. 1 & 2, I make the
bristles a, a at each end of the brush head longer than at the middle thereof
and gradually increasing in length from the top or stail side c to the underside
of the brush head, which form of brush facilitates the cleansing of any size of
round or square vessel and the groove at the bottom where such exists simul-
taneously.
The underside of the brush head, which I preferably round off, I furnish
also with bristles e forming a continuation of the side bristles a, a so as to
facilitate the cleansing of the bottom of the tub simultaneously with the sides
and the groove at the bottom, as shown in Fig. 3.
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. In a brush for cleansing tubs and the like vessels, the head 6 furnished
with bristles longer at each end than at the middle thereof and gradually increas-
ing in length from the top or stail side to the underside of the brush head, all
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2nd. In a brush such as specified in the preceding claim, furnishing the under-
side of the brush head also with bristles forming a continuation of the side
bristles, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
