COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Brushes.
I JOHN HERBERT LAPTHORN, of 10 Church Street, Blackpool Gentleman, 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:―
These improvements consist of a brush having on its face or back a combination
of ordinary bristles, and rubber bristles, or teeth.
The combination may either be made with india rubber bristles in the centre and
ordinary bristles on outside, or vice versa, the distinctive feature of this invention
being the combination of rubber and ordinary bristles.
This combination is obviously applicable for general use in flesh, shaving, hair,
and clothes brushes.
It will be readily understood from the above that the combination of rubber
bristles and ordinary bristles are fixed conjointly upon one side (back or front) of
the brush only.
I would remark that I am aware of Patent No. 8,354/91, and we purpose
working the two Patents together.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1. shows the face of a flesh brush, the wooden stock A with a rubber cap C,
which has short soft rubber bristles, or teeth and surrounded with ordinary
bristles or hair, both fixed upon the face of stock A and made to correspond in
height.
Fig. 2. shows a flesh brush cut through the centre shewing the inside portion
A represents the wooden stock with a raised portion in the centre to receive the
rubber cap C which I fasten thereon with cement or glue and brass nails round the
sides of the said cap and in this case I place the combination of bristles at the back
of the brush at the face thereof I fasten a bath sponge D but I do not claim the
sponge D part
of the invention.
Fig. 3 shows a tooth brush with an ordinary bone handle or stock A with the
usual kind of bristles B. at one end, at the other end I make wedge shape and fasten
thereon a small rubber brush C with soft rubber bristles, or teeth, thus forming &
tooth brush with ordinary bristles at one end, and soft rubber bristles or teeth at
the other, both facing to the face of the said bone handle A.

page_text: Fig. 4. shows a shaving brush made the usual shape, bone handle, or stock A
ordinary bristles or hair B and rubber cap with soft rubber bristles or teeth C fixed
upon the projection D at the side of stock, and near the bristles, or hair, the said
cap 1 fasten also with cement, or glue, but wire round the sides instead of nails.
In all the above said cases I use the best red or black rubber and make them as
ornamental and saleable as possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
Forming and fitting brushes with a combination of ordinary bristles B, and
rubber bristles C, upon the same side conjointly (back, or front) of the brush stock A
substantially described hereinbefore and for the purpose set forth.
