IN BRUSHES, SPECIALLY USEFUL FOR HAIR AND CLOTHES BRUSHES."
This Invention has for its object improvements in brushes, which I prefer,
according to my Invention, to construct substantially as follows, taking, as an
example, hair brushes -The body or block of the brush where the hair or fibre
is drawn into is made in the usual way. This body or block when the brush is to
be completed is covered by an outside of metal made of gold, silver, copper, brass,
tin, electro plate, or other metal. This outside, which is formed with the handle
(when handles are required), is either stamped, cast, pressed, or otherwise suitably
formed to the shape of the body or block (taking care that it encompasses the edges
of said block or body), and the same is placed over the body or block of the brush
so as to encompass the edges of the block or body, and is secured thereto by nails,
rivets, or other suitable fastening at the side, or, if required, the metal is placed over
the edges of the block or body retaining same thereby. The outside may be orna-
mented so that parts may be drawn over the block or body and secured in any
suitable manner under the block or body. It is evident that the outside, when
same is cast or pressed, may have any suitable ornamental device impressed thereon,
so that when the brush is completed a device or ornamentation is shewn on the
back thereof. The outside may be made of japanned metal, and then ornamented
as required.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by

Having thus far described the nature of the said Invention, and incidentally
intimated in what manner the same is to be performed or carried out in practice,
I will now proceed (aided by the accompanying Drawings) to further and
particularly describe and ascertain in what manner the same is to be performed
