Heads of Brushes and similar Articles to their Handles.
We DAVID JACKSON of Wood Hill Batley, Joiner, and JOHN TATE of Market
Place, Dewsbury, Ironmonger, both in the county of York, do hereby declare the
nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
:-
I place in the hole in the brush head, a piece or pieces of metal, having a spike or
spikes at right angles to the metal strip, its other end having a similar spike or
spikes, but exactly in the opposite direction, the metallic strip is slightly bent, so as
to keep the other spike clear of the brush handle; the brush handle is inserted in the
hole, which drives the spike in the metallic strip into the head of the brush (within
the hole) the other spike of the strip being in the opposite direction is driven into
the brush handle, securing it, so that it cannot possibly come loose, so long as the
strip of metal remains intact, one, two, or more strips may be used.

We DAVID JACKSON of Woodhill Batley Joiner and JOHN TATE of Market Place,
Dewsbury Ironmonger both in the county of York, 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 :-
We place in the hole in the brush head, a piece or pieces of metal, having a spike
or spikes at right angles to the metal strip, its other end having a similar spike or
spikes, but exactly in the opposite direction, the metallic strip is slightly bent so as
to keep the other spike clear of the brush handle, the brush handle is inserted in the
hole, which drives the spike on the metallic strip into the head of the brush (within
the hole) the other spike of the strip being in the opposite direction, is driven into
the brush handle, securing it, so that it cannot possibly come loose, so long as the
strip of metal remains intact, one, two, or more strips may be used.

Figs. 3. and 4. shew front and side elevation of fastener, full size.
A is the brush head and B the handle. C is the metal strip fastener having
spike D at right angles at top and bottom projecting in opposite directions, the
metallic strip or fastener is slightly bent at C', so as to keep the spike clear of the
brush handle, the metallic strip is placed in the hole of the brush head, and the brush
handle inserted and knocked in, the act of knocking it in forces the spike on the
lower end of the metal strip into the brush head at the side of the hole, the other
spike is then knocked into the handle, which is then effectually fastened to the
head.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what wo
claim is :-
Securing the handles of brushes or similar articles to their heads by metallic strips C.
or their equivalent as shewn and described.
