Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I, PHILIP MIDDLETON JUSTICE of 55 and 56 Chancery Lane in the County of
Middlesex Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents do hereby declare the nature
of the invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN GROOMING BRUSHES A communication to
me from abroad by Adam Harvey of the City of Ottawa Province of Ontario in
the Dominion of Canada to be as follows:-
This invention consists in the construction of an improved implement for
grooming purposes being a flexible brush surface conforming to the outline of the
human hand and provided with means for attachment to the hand to which
means, or to some of them may be secured small curry combs and pickers may be
secured at the ends of the fingers. The improved grooming brush may be either
in the form of a glove, in which case the curry combs are attached to the back of
the fingers, or it may be in the form of a sandal, consisting of a piece of flexible
material capable of holding or receiving bristles and having the outline of the
human hand with loops or straps attached to the back of the fingers in which the
fingers of the hand are inserted, and which form the means of holding the same to
the hand when being used and supplemented by a strap below the wrist, the finger
loops in this case carrying the small curry combs, other suitable means of holding
the brush when in use may however be employed.
The brush is formed in the ordinary manner by inserting into the flexible
material constituting the brush back such as rubber, leather or the like, bunches of
bristles, or by attaching to the back sections having one or more bunches of bristles
inserted or secured in any convenient manner; If the brush is in glove form, the
back of the glove may be of lighter material than the brush back.
The tips of the fingers are provided sometimes but not always with pickers
consisting preferably of wire loops, such being useful in cleaning crevices or parts
which are inaccessible to the brush.

of said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN GROOMING BRUSHES," a communication to
me from abroad by Adam Harvey of the City of Ottawa Province of Ontario in
the Dominion of Canada and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This Invention consists in the construction of an improved implement for
grooming purposes being a flexible brush surface conforming to the outline of the
human hand and provided with means for attachment to the band to which means,
or to some of them may be secured small curry combs and pickers may be secured
at the ends of the fingers.
To clearly explain the nature of my invention reference is made to the
accompanying drawings which form part of this specification and in which Fig 1.
represents the inner side of a glove brush.
Fig 2. the back thereof.
Figs 3 and 4 enlarged views of parts shown in Figs 1 and 2 like letters of
reference referring to corresponding parts.
The improved grooming brush may be either in the form of a glove Figs 1 and 2
in which case the curry combs F are attached to the back of the fingers, or it may
be in the form of a sandal consisting of a piece of flexible material capable of
holding or receiving bristles and having the outline of the human hand with loops
or straps attached to the back of the fingers in which the fingers of the land are
inserted and which form the means of holding the same to the hand when being
used and supplemented by a strap below the wrist, the finger loops in this case
carrying the small curry combs, other suitable means of holding the brush when in
use may however be employed.
The brush is formed in the ordinary manner by inserting into the flexible
material constituting the brush back D such as rubber leather or the like, bunches
of bristles, or by attaching to the back sections having one or more bunches of
bristles inserted or secured in any convenient manner. If the brush is in glove
form the back of the glove may be of lighter material than the brush back.
The tips of the fingers are provided sometimes but not always with pickers B
consisting preferably of wire loops such being useful in cleaning crevices or parts
which are inaccessible to the brush.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1st. A flexible grooming brush in the form of a glove provided with bristles on
the palm substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2nd. A flexible grooming brush of glove like form carrying small curry combs
substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
