Improvements in the Manufacture of Paint and other Brushes.
I, ABDIAS CHRISTIAN KUGLER, of Nuremberg in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Paint
Brush Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to effect improvements in the manufacture of paint
and other brushes, whereby the attachment of a ferrule to the handle is rendered
secure, without resorting to the usual methods of rivetting, or compressing the
ferrule into the wood.
According to my invention I make a small hole through the shouldered portion of
the handle, transversely, and pass a wire (preferably of steel) through the same,
turning down the two ends of the wire with a sharp bend towards the handle, at each
end of the hole: The bristles are tied firmly round the core at the outer end of the
shouldered portion. The ferrule is then pushed over the bristles. The lower end
of the ferrule presses inwards the ends of the wire and slips over them, enclosing
the ends of the wire in the ferrule. The ends of the wire then expand and engage
an inwardly turned flange of the ferrule, whereby the latter is securely held in
position, enclosing the shouldered part of the handle and a portion of the bristles.
The material and sectional form of the wire may be varied to suit the size and
character of the brush; and two or more wires may be used when necessary for
greater security.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Paint and other Brushes.
I, ABDIAS CHRISTIAN KUGLER, of Nuremberg, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Paint
Brush Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:
The object of my invention is to effect improvements in the manufacture of paint
and other brushes, whereby the attachment of a ferrule to the handle is rendered
secure, without resorting to the usual methods of rivetting or compressing the ferrule
into the wood.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained

page_text: reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts...
Fig. 1 illustrates the complete brush.
Fig. 2 shows the same partly in section.
Fig. 3 shows the essential parts in detail.
a is the handle of the brush, b the bristles, and c the ferrule. Through the
shouldered portion d I make a small hole e, transversely, to receive a wire f,
(preferably of steel) which, is passed through the hole e. The ends of the wire are
then bent down, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, with a sharp bend close to the hole e.
The bristles bare tied firmly round the core g, in the usual manner. The ferrule c
is then pushed down over the bristles. The lower end of the ferrule c presses
inwards the ends of the wire f, and slips over them, enclosing the ends of the wire
in the ferrule. The ends of the wire fthen expand and engage the inwardly turned
end h of the ferrule c whereby the latter is securely held in position, enclosing the
shouldered part of the handle and a portion of the bristles.
The material and sectional form of the wire may be varied to suit the size and
character of the. brush, and two or more wires may be used when necessary for
greater security.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. In paint and other brushes the improved method of securing the ferrule
substantially as described.
2. In paint and other brushes the combination of a metallic wire f passed through
the shouldered portion d of the handle, the ends of the wire engaging the lower
edge of the ferrule, and thereby rendering the same secure, substantially as herein
before described and illustrated by the drawings.
