}
I, HERBERT ALEXANDER WANKLYN, of 17, Manchester Avenue, in the City of
London, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
-
This invention relates to an improved squeegee for tyres & spokes and my
invention consists in a squeegee constructed substantially as hereinafter described.
In carrying out my invention I make a suitable holder-say of wood-one end
of which is formed as a handle and the other end is adapted to hold a rubber or
other scraper or squeegee said scraper being formed to fit at its centre part on a
pneumatic tyre, at one side on a solid tyre and on the other side on a spoke so
that my improved squeegee is adapted to fit on the periphery of a pneumatic tyre
a solid tyre and a spoke.
I may further provide each side of the holder with a brush or one side with
a brush and the other with a polishing buff and I may further provide the end of
the holder where the rubber or other squeegee is attached-with a.. brush if
desired on each side which, brush or brushes extend a little beyond the edge of the
squeegee and assist thereby in cleaning either a pneumatic tyre solid tyre or spoke.
The shape and dimensions of the different parts and also the material of which said
parts are made may be any which in practise is found most suitable.

I, HERBERT ALEXANDER WANKLYN, of 17, Manchester Avenue, in the City of
London, Merchant, 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 relates to an improved squeegee for tyres and spokes and my
invention consists in a squeegee constructed substantially as hereinafter described.
In order that my invention may be readily understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawings wherein Fig. 1 represents one form of my improved
squeegee in front elevation and Fig. 2 represents the same in side elevation but

page_text: having the brush B arranged differently to the brush B in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 an
alternative form.
In carrying out my invention I make a suitable holder A-say of wood-one
end of which is formed as a handle and the other end is adapted to hold a rubber
or other scraper or squeegee C said scraper being formed to fit at its centre part C¹
on a pneumatic tyre at one side C on a solid tyre and at the other side C³ on a
spoke as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, so that my improved squeegee is adapted to fit
on the periphery of a pneumatic tyre, a solid tyre and a spoke.
I may further provide each side of the holder with a brush B or one side with
a brush B and the other side with a polishing buff D as shown in side elevation
in Fig. 2 and I may further provide the end of the holder A-where the rubber
or other squeegee is attached with a brush B if desired on each side as indicated
in Fig. 1 which brush or brushes extend a little beyond the edge of the squeegee
and assist thereby in cleaning the tyre. The parts C¹, C3 and C³ may if desired
be situated as shown in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
1. A squeegee shaped at one part to fit a pneumatic tyre, at another to fit a
solid tyre and at a third part to fit a spoke, all for the purposes and substantially
as set forth.
2. The combination with a squeegee of a brush or polishing leather or both all
for the purposes and substantially as set forth.
3. The combination with a squeegee of a brush or brushes which project a
sufficient distance beyond the edge of the squeegee for the purposes and sub-
stantially as set forth.
