Holding Brushes for Cleansing the Pans thereof.
We EDWARD HEWITT COOKE and CHARLES DEANE COOKE, trading as Cooke
Brothers of 67 Patrick Street, in the city of Cork, Ireland, Hardware Merchants, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Hitherto considerable inconvenience has arisen from the brushes which are ordinarily
employed for cleansing the pans of water closets becoming lost injured or mislaid før
want of a proper receptacle or holder.
The object of our invention is to provide a convenient and portable stand for
receiving and holding such brushes.
For this purpose we construct a stand of a bowl or receiver preferably made of
sheet metal from which a frame extends upwards, the said frame being provided at its
upper part with a hook or its equivalent to allow of the brush being suspended there-
from by means of a ring or the like on the handle of the same; the hereinbefore
described bowl serves to receive the water which may drip from the brush and is made
removeable from the frame so as to allow of the contents being emptied.

We EDWARD HEWITT COOKE and CHARLES DEANE COOKE, trading as Cooke
Brothers of 67 Patrick Street, in the city of Cork, Ireland, Hardware Merchants,
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:
Hitherto considerable inconvenience has arisen from the brushes which are ordinarily
employed for cleansing the pans of water closets becoming lost, injured or mislaid for
want of a proper receptacle or holder.
The object of our invention is to provide a convenient and portable stand for
receiving and holding such brushes. For this purpose we construct a stand of a bowl
or receiver preferably made of sheet metal or of wood or other suitable material from
which a frame extends upwards, the said frame being provided at its upper part with
a hook or its equivalent to allow of the brush being suspended therefrom by means of
a ring or the like on the handle of the same; the herein before described bowl serves
to receive the water which may drip from the brush and is made removeable from the
frame so as to allow of the contents being emptied.
The accompanying drawing represents a perspective view of a stand for use in
water closets for holding brushes for cleansing the pans thereof constructed according
to our invention.
a, represents the bowl or receiver which is preferably made of sheet metal or it can
be made of wood or other suitable material and b, represents the frame which extends
upwards therefrom; c, represents the hook at the upper part of the frame b; d, is the
handle of the brush e, and f, is the ring which we provide at the end of the said
handle and which is adapted to be placed over the hook c, so as to suspend the brush
from the frame b, in the manner shewn in the drawing, the brush being easily detached
therefrom when required for use. When the brush is suspended in the stand any
water which may be in the brush e, will drip into the bowl a, which is made remove-
able from the frame b, in any suitable manner for the purpose of allowing its contents
to be emptied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
The stand for use in water closets urinals and like places for holding brushes for
cleansing the pans thereof substantially as hereinbefore described and represented in
the accompanying drawing.
