I THOMAS WATSON of Wharton Street, Coundon, in the County of Durham,
Timber 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 improvement in brushes and brooms for washing
carriages or carts of any description horses, yards, and the like, by a simple
method of supplying water through the handle of the brush or broom and
through the brush or broom head thereby ensuring a constant supply of clean
water to the brush or broom. This is done by boring a hole through the
handle of any suitable brush or broom to within a short distance of its being
through the brush or broom head. Then bore one or more holes (as preferred)
into the said hole from the face of the brush or broom at a suitable angle or
angles to form a jet or jets amongst the bristles of the brush or broom head.
The other end of the brush or broom handle to be attatched to a hose pipe
connected with any ordinary water supply, no coupling is needed to attach the
brush or broom to the hose pipe, the end of the brush or broom bandle being
made to fit the inside of the hose pipe when it will be found to be firmly fixed.
This system is applicable to all kinds of brushes and brooms. I will now
describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
