mop to the brush by means of a staple passing through the whole.
In the practice of my invention provide a handle a and on one side of one end
the cof 18 formed or secured a brush b, composed of bristles or similar matoual, the
material of which the brush 18 composed being connected with the handle by a
method similar to that employed in the manufacture of binshes.
On the side of the handle opposite the brush b is secured a mop c, which consists
of a body of tufts of cotton, wool, hemp or similar material which are secured to a
block which is secured to the handle by means of a vet, screw or other wise of the

combination mop and brush in the other, and the brush or mop applied thereto as
may be desired, it being understood of course that hot water and other washing
material is employed as usual in this process. It will be seen that I accomplish
the object of my invention by means of a device which 18 simple in construction
and operation and well adapted to accomplish the results for which it is intended.
It is evident that changes in the form construction and combination of the various
parts may be made withont departing from the spit of my invention and 1 there-
fore reserve the right to make such alterations therein as fairly come within the
