I JAMES ROOT of 5 Commerce Road Wood Green in the County of Middlesex
Brush Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A new and improved method of strengthening the stock handle of varnish paint
distemper and other brushes and also for confining and preventing the binding which
holds the bristle hair fibre or other substance used for the brush itself from slipping or
getting out of its place in the said brushes.
The invention consists of a metal or other suitable substance clip or slip, or case or
binding which may be made as in figure 1 closed at the top or bottom thus forming a
case to be slipped on to the shoulder of the stock handle of the brush before the bristle
or other substance used for the brush is affixed to the stock; or the invention may be
open at the top or bottom or both as in figure 2 thus forming a kind of clip or slip
and is applied in like manner to the stock handle.
At the back of the clip, slip, case, or binding are two or more solid or hollow
projections or knobs placed a short distance from each other between which said
projections the wire or other fastening or binding of the bristle or other substance
used for the brush is wound or bound, thus making the invention a kind of binding-
the wire or other fastening or binding is wound and bound between the two or more
projections round the bristle or other substance used for the brush itself in such a way
that the wire &c. is in contact or close up to either of the projections on the clip, slip
case or binding but only and solely between the two on the particular clip &c. used,
thereby rendering it impossible whilst the wire or other binding remains intact, uncut
or unbroken from slipping or getting out of its place.
It is intended in ordinary cases where a flat stock handle is used for the brush as in
figure 5 to apply and fix the clip slip case or binding to either shoulder.
Seven plans accompany this specification exemplifying the invention and the method
in one case in which it may be applied.
The same letters in each of the figures refer to the same parts.
J represents the entire clip, slip, case or binding.

An Improvement in Distemper, Paint, and other Brushes.
I JAMES ROOT of 5 Commerce Road Wood Green in the County of Middlesex
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:—
A new and improved method of strengthening the stock handle of varnish paint
distemper and other brushes and also for confining and preventing the binding which
holds the bristle hair fibre or other substance used for the brush itself from slipping
or getting out of its place in the said brushes.
The invention consists of a metal or other suitable substance clip or slip or case or
binding which may be made as in figure 1-closed at the top or bottom thus forming
a case to be slipped on to the shoulder of the stock handle of the brush before the
bristle or other substance used for the brush is affixed to the stock; or the invention
may be open at the top or bottom or both as in figure 2 thus forming a kind of clip
or slip and is applied in like manner to the stock handle.
At the back of the clip slip case or binding are two or more solid or hollow
projections or knobs placed a short distance from each other between which said
projections the wire or other fastening or binding of the bristle or other substance
used for the brush is wound or bound thus making the invention a kind of binding,
the wire or other fastening or binding is wound and bound between the two or more
projections round the bristle or other substance used for the brush itself in such a way
that the wire &c. is in contact or close up to either of the projections on the slip clip
case or binding but only and solely between the two on the particular clip &c. used,
thereby rendering it impossible whilst the wire or other binding remains intact, uncut
or unbroken from slipping or getting out of its place.
It is intended in ordinary cases where a flat stock handle is used for the brush as in
figure 5 to apply and fix the clip, slip case or binding to either shoulder.
The plans which accompanied the provisional specification exemplifying the
invention and the method in one case in which it may be applied should be referred to.
The same letters in each of the figures refer to the same parts.
J represents the entire clip slip case or binding.
A represents the top of the case when it is made covered in at the top and B the
bottom when it is made closed in at the bottom as in figure 1.
F represents the holes through which the screws or rivets are passed by means of
which the clip slip case or binding is affixed to the stock handle of the brush.
G which only appears in figures 1 and 2 is the screw or rivet passing through the
holes marked F.
H represents the projections or knobs at the back of the clip slip case or binding
for the purpose mentioned above.
K represents a stock handle of a brush. In figure 4 only a portion of this is drawn.

page_text: C represents the wire or other binding which encircles the fibre or other substance
used as the brush itself binding it to the stock handle C passes round the edges of the
stock handle on the outside of the clip slip case or binding but between the projections
or knobs marked H.
D represents the bristle or other substance used in the brush itself.
In figure 5 a front view of a flat stock handle (without the bristle &c. is represented)
with the clip slip case or binding fitted to both shoulders of the stock.
In figure 6 a side view is exhibited of a fully made brush with a flat stock handle
such as is called a distemper brush.
In figure 7 the same brush is exhibited but with a front view.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :—
The improvement in manufacturing and strengthening distemper and other brushes
by means of placing a metal clip slip case or binding on to the stock or other handle
of a brush before the bristles are bound round it substantially as herein before
described and illustrated by the plans lodged with the Provisional Specification.
