Improvements in Stove-polishing and similar Brushes.
We, WILLIAM CORFIELD, of 39, Ash Road, Horfield, and WILLIAM PEARSE,
of 151, Newfoundland Road, both in Bristol, Occupations, Gentleman, and
Butcher, respectively, 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 :-
Our invention relates to improvements in brushes for polishing stoves and grates
and for similar purposes, and consists in providing such brushes with means for
protecting the kuckles or other parts of the users hands from abrasion or similar
injury.
In carrying the invention into practice, we fix upon, or form integral with, the
back of a stove-polishing brush, for instance, two vertical or nearly vertical side
plates or guards, one on each side of the brush back. The said side plates or
guards may be fashioned from a piece of tin or other suitable material, and may
conveniently form part of a plate fastened upon and covering the whole, or
the greater portion of such brush back, the said side guards being bent up from
Buch plate.
In order to more clearly shew my invention I make reference to the accompanying
sheet of drawings, in which,
Fig. 1 shews an end view, and Fig. 2 side view of a piece of sheet metal with

page_text: bent up sides, the said piece of metal being intended to be suitably attached to the
back of a brush.
Fig. 3 is an isometrical view of a brush, with our invention attached.
Similar letters indicate the same parts. a is the back of the brush having
attached to it the plate 6 provided with the upstanding sides c and c¹. d the handle
of the brush shewu in the drawing as being fastened over h.
We do not confine ourselves to the precise details, relative proportions,
configuration or disposition of parts as shewn in the drawing, as any or all of them
may be varied without departing from the spirit of our invention. For instance
the plate b may be dispensed with, and the pieces c and c¹ attached direct to the
sides of the brush.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is.-
For the purpose of protecting the knuckles or other parts of the users' hands,
the combination with stove polishing and similar brushes of plates of metal
upstanding from the back of the brush or from a plate or equivalent of metal
attached thereto, the whole substantially as described in the above Specification,
and exemplified in the accompanying drawings.
