Improvements in and connected with Brushes for Cleaning Cycles,
and for other similar purposes.
I, FREDERICK ARTHUR POWELL, of 93 Leonard Road, Handsworth, in the
County of Stafford, Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows :—
This invention relates to improvements in brushes specially adapted for the
cleaning of cycles or other carriages or similar purposes, and consists as follows:-
I make a brush whose sectional shape presents two or may be three flat or
approximately flat surfaces, and one, or may be two thin edge like surfaces.
Along these edge surfaces I provide a row or rows of bristles and upon the side
surfaces I provide a thick coating of wool, cotton or other similar substance. Onc
of such side surfaces I may cover with felt or hair. By these means I provide
a brush whose thin edge bristles facilitate the cleaning of the cycle &c. down
in close quarters, whilst the wool & hair or felt surfaces serve to wipe or dry or
polish as the case may require.
Dated this 1st day of November 1894.

Improvements in and connected with Brushes for Cleaning Cycles,
and for other similar purposes.
1, FREDERICK ARTHUR POWELL. of 93 Leonard Road, Handsworth, in the
County of Stafford, Traveller 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 specially adapted for the
cleaning of cycles or other carriages or other similar purposes, and consists as
follows;
In order to more clearly explain this my invention I have appended hereunto an
illustrative sheet of drawings upon which are figures and numbers of reference,
Fig. 1, is a general view of this my invention.
Fig. 2, is a sectional view upon line A-B in Fig. 1.
I make a brush centre 3, whose sectional shape presents two-may be three-
Aat or approximately flat surfaces, and one-or may be two-thin edge like
Burfaces. Along these edge like surfaces 1 provide a row or rows of bristles 4, 5,
and upon one of the side surfaces I provide a thick coating of wool, cotton or
other similar substance 6. The other side surface I cover with felt or hair 7.
Preferably make the one row 4 of bristles shorter than the other, for the purpose
of brushing dried mud or other stubborn substance. If desired one of such rows of
bristles may be dispensed with.
By these means I provide a brush whose thin edge bristles facilitate the cleaning
of the cycle down in close quarters, whilst the wool and hair or felt serves to wipe
or dry or polish as the case may require.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my inven-
tion and the manner in which it is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
The combination and arrangement of a brush having a felt surface such as 7,
woolly surface such as 6, and row or rows of bristles such as 4, 5, substantially as
set forth and for the purposes specified.
