Improvements in or relating to Brushes.
I, FRIEDRICH GRÜNEBERG, of I Lorentzerthorgasse 13/14, Pressburg, in the
Empire of Austria, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows;—
The present invention relates to a brush principally for use in washing and
cleaning any object, principally carriages, bicycles and so on.
The stem of the brush has a slit through which a duster or cloth can be drawn
and fastened around the brush. The brush holes are arranged in the exterior of
the stem in order to form a row of bristles round the stem.
The brush stem is pivoted to a handle in order that it may be turned at a
desired angle to the handle to reach till the parts of the object to be cleared more
conveniently and to give the brush any position desired. The handle is provided
with a set screw pushing against the curved end of the stem. In order to avoid
the damage, a pointed set screw would do to the stem, it is preferable to have
the end of the set screw flat and to make the end of the stem polygonal to avoid
slipping.
Dated this 13th day of August 1898.

Improvements in or relating to Brushes.
I, FRIEDRICH GRÜNEBERG, of I Lorentzerthorgasse 13/4, Pressburg, in the
Empire of Austria, Merchant, 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:―
The present invention relates to a brush especially for use in washing and
cleaning any object, principally carriages, bicycles and so on.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 is a view of the brush showing the construction
of its stem and handle. Fig. 2 illustrates a modification in the shape of the end
of the stem, and Figs. 3 to 5 illustrate in cross-section different forms of slot
in the stem.
The stem a of the brush has a slit
drawn and fastened around the brush.

page_text: The brush stem a is pivoted to a handle d in order that it may be turned at a
desired angle to the handle to reach the parts of the object to be cleaned more
conveniently and to give the brush any position desired. The handle dis
provided with a set-screw e pushing against the curved end of the stem. In
order to avoid the damage which a pointed set-screw would do to the stem, it
is preferable to have the end of the set-screw flat and to make the end of the stem
polygonal as in Fig. 2 to avoid slipping.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
In a brush ;-
1. A stem a having a longitudinal slot b along its length and bristles arranged
on the side bars substantially as described.
2. A handle pivotally attached to the stem a and capable of being turned
at an angle thereto.
3. The combination with stem a and handle d of a set-screw e for fixing the
stem at the desired angle with regard to the handle.
4. The construction of stem. a in combination with handle d and set-screw e so
that said stem is polygonal at the end against which the set-screw abuts so that
the latter bears against a flat face of the stem.
