Improvements in Miners' Safety Lamp Gauze Brushes.
1 JOHN ASPINALL Brush Manufacturer Shambles Street Barnsley Yorks do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I form the brush stock in four sections. After the bristles or other material is
placed in I then secure two sections together thus forming one part of brush
bottom part. The other two sections I secure together forming top part of brush.
The bottom part of brush at top end I have a hole socket or peg for the top part
of brush to be inserted in or placed on, the top part of brush having a hole
socket or peg at bottom end. The two parts of brush when placed together are
secured by screws or other kinds of fastening. By making the brush of four
sections and when secured together forming two parts which constitute one whole
brush I get a better shape and more durable brush. The top or bottom part can
be replaced when required.

Improvements in Miners' Safety Lamp Gauze Brushes.
1 JOHN ASPINALL of Windmill Yard Shambles Street Barnsley in the County
of York Brush Manufacturer 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 reference to the construction of wooden stocked brushes
used for cleaning the gauzes of miners' safety lamps and its object is to so
construct or build up the said stock that the bristles may be expeditiously placed
in position and also when complete the most wearable part of the brush may be
arranged so as to be refitted with a new part when required; to attain which I
form the wooden stock first into four parts substantially as described with reference
to the accompanying sheet of drawings which are to be taken as part of this
specification and read therewith.
Fig. 1 is an isometric perspective view of the lower half part of the wooden
stock.
Fig. 2 is an isometric view of the upper half part of wooden stock.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a metal ferrule or hoop for strengthening the
part of stock which receives the peg of the opposite part and
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of my improved brush when complete.
Similar letters of reference denote corresponding parts in each view.
The lower part of wooden stock I build up or form of two distinct parts A. see
Fig. 1 which I glue or otherwise secure together subsequently to the drilling of
suitable holes for the reception of the required bristles Fig. 4. The upper end
of said part A may have a socket hole or recess a', or where preferred a projection
or peg, and the lower end of the upper part B of stock may have a corresponding
projection or peg or recess 6' for the purpose hereinafter described.

page_text: After the parts A are glued together the ferrule C (Fig. 3) is fitted either on
the upper end of part A or lower end of part B.
When the bristles have been suitably fastened into the part B-the halves of
which are secured together similar to the halves of part A-the brush may be
put together as shown at Fig. 4, that is by inserting the peg part 6 into the hole
socket or recess a¹ and for additional security to use a screw or other ordináry
fastenings d¹ as shown at Fig. 4.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of any said inven-
tion and in what mannor the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In the construction of a brush used for cleaning the gauzes of miners' safety
lamps the combination of the divided parts A with the divided parts B and the
securing together of said parts by a ferrule C and screw or other ordinary
fastener d' substantially as described and for the object specified.
