PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Rotary Hair Brushing Machines.
I, IGNACIO MARIA TINTORE, of 34, Oxford Street, Middlesex, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object certain improvements in or connected with the
driving mechanism by which a rotary hair brushing machine can be operated at the
desire or will of the assistant.
For the purpose of my invention, I make the brush stock hollow and of
cylindrical shape, and I fit a train of wheels in a case which
arrange in the
cylindrical brush stock, one of the wheels is in gear with an internal toothed ring
in the stock, so that it can be rotated therefrom.
In the casing, I arrange a powerful spring which can be wound up by a key, or
a hand wheel fitted at one end of the cylinder.
In connection with the train of wheels, I use a fly wheel or a pair of flyers, and
also a break appliance which can be released by pressure, or a grip by the hand at
the time of the article being used. The degree of pressure exerted will be governed
by the hand in order to regulate the speed of rotation of the brush.
The article is intended for use by hairdressers and will enable the rubber band,
the overhead wheels, and the shaft and also the usual driving engine, or the power
wheel to be dispensed with.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Rotary Hair Brushing Machines.
I, IGNACIO MARIA TINTORE, of 34, Oxford Street, Middlesex, Gentleman, 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 has for object, certain improvements in or connected with the
driving mechanism by which a rotary hair brushing machine can be operated at
the desire or will of the assistant.
For the purpose of my invention, and as I show in the annexed drawing, I make
the brush stock A. hollow and of cylindrical shape, with ends B, B, and 1 fit a train of
wheels to a frame or case C which I arrange in the cylindrical brush stock A, one
of the wheels D is in gear with a toothed ring E in the stock, so that it can be
rotated therefrom.
In a barrel or casing F, I arrange a powerful spring which can be wound up
by a key G serving also as a handle fitted at one end of the cylinder.
In connection with the train of wheels, I use a pair of flyers H, H, and also a
break or stop appliance I which can be released by the thumb of hand acting on
the button J at the time the article has to be used.
The article is intended for use by hair dressers and will enable the rubber band,
the overhead wheels, and the shaft, and also the usual driving engine, or the power
wheel to be dispensed with.
It will be observed by the drawing that the shaft K which is attached to the

page_text: spring in the barrel is provided with a ratchet wheel L into which a paul M is
engaged, said paul being on the casing C to prevent the brush cylinder rebounding
or unwinding while the brush is being rotated to wind up the spring. This shaft K
terminates just outside the right hand side plate of the casing C, so that it has no
connection with the train of wheels on that side of the plate, the rotative working
motion being from the barrel wheel N, pinion P, spindle Q to D and E at one
end, and through pinion P, spindle Q to pinion R, and thence through the
gears S, T, U, V, to the flyers H, H.
The end plates C, C, of the inner casing are held rigidly at the proper distance
apart by the tie rods W, W.
X is a bridge connecting the stem Y of the handle Z with the casing C, the
brush stock being free to rotate thereon and on the shaft K when the break I is
released from the flyer.
To wind up the spring in the barrel F, the handle Z is held firmly in one hand,
and the handle G is turned by the other hand, the paul slipping over the teeth of
the wheel L during said operation.
I am aware that self contained spring rotating hair brushes have been made
before the date of my application for Letters Patent, therefore I make no claim in
a broad sense to such an article.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The particular arrangement of appliances within the stock of a circular
rotatable hair brush, as described and as shown in the annexed drawing.
2. In a spring contained circular rotatable hair brush, the particular arrangement
of gear operated from a mid-wheel of the barrel, said gear being worked from both
ends of spindle Q, as and for the purpose described.
