Complete Specification Accepted, 20th Apr., 1889
I, ROBERT CHARLTON TURNER trading as Scannell and Company of 133 Cannon
Street Road, Whitechapel in the County of Middlesex, Brush Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of my invention to be as follows :—
The object of this invention is to prevent the wooden or other hard body of the
brush from damaging the paint or varnish on the wheel during the operation of
washing the same, this object I attain by attaching to the body of the brush a pro-
jecting ring or pad of soft material. One way of carrying this invention into practice
is by forming a groove round the body of the brush and fixing therein a ring of india
rubber or other suitable material. The ring may project about a quarter of an inch
beyond the body of the brush, and be fixed into the groove by means of cement or
pins or both.
The projecting pad or ring effectually prevents the body of the brush
from coming in contact with the paint or varnish on the wheel while washing.
Dated this Fifteenth day of June 1888.

page_text: I ROBERT CHARLTON TURNER trading as Scannell and Company of 133 Cannon
Street Road, Whitechapel 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 :—
The object of this invention is to prevent the wooden or other hard body of the
brush from damaging the paint or varnish on the wheel during the operation of
washing the same, this object I attain by attaching to the body of the brush a projecting
ring or pad of soft material.
One way of carrying this invention into practice is by forming a groove round the
body of the brush and fixing therein a ring of india-rubber or other suitable
material. And in order that my invention may be the better understood I will proceed
to explain the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in
which Figure 1 shews side view of a spoke brush constructed according to my inven-
tion and Figure 2 cross section of same to an enlarged scale. Same letters denote
same parts in both figures.
a is the body of the brush, 6 back of same, c pad of india-rubber or other soft
material. A groove is formed round the body a of the brush and the pad or
ring c fixed therein by means of pins or cement or both, the said pad or ring
projecting about one quarter of an inch from the body of the brush effectually prevents
the body of the brush from coming in contact with the paint or varnish on the wheel
while washing the same.
Although I have descibed the pad or ring as being fixed in a groove I do not confine
myself to this particular way.
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
1st. Fixing pads or rings of india-rubber or other suitable material to the bodies of
wheel or spoke brushes for the purpose specified.
2nd. The improved wheel or spoke brush substantially as described and shewn.
