Year: 1885

page_text: We RICHARD JAMES JEWELL and HENRY WALTER CASPERD both of 15 Regent
Street Kennington Cross in the County of Surrey Brush Manufacturers trading in
Copartnership as Jewell & Casperd, do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for BRUSHING AND CLEANING THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE SIDE BRIM & RIM AND
THE CURL OF THE BRIM OF SILK AND OTHER HATS AT ONE AND THE SAME
TIME AND BY THE SAME INSTRUMENT POLISHING THE HAT to be as follows :-
The present invention differs from all other brushes in that it is constructed
with one end of the brush formed into a semicircle so arranged that the brim and
curl of the brim of the hat is effectually brushed and cleaned of all dust at the same
time that the side of the bat is being brushed The object of this arrangement we
submit has never before been obtained and is a great advantage in keeping the hat
perfectly clean without injuring the shape of the brim.
No other brush has been framed so as to effectually remove all dust and we
claim for this invention that the shape of the brush enables the remotest inner part
of the curl of the rim to be brushed & without the hat itself being touched by any
of the woodwork of the brush. The brush is constructed of a handle of about
7 inches in length to one side of which is attached for its whole length hair or
bristle according to the quality of the brush and at one end of the brush the
proposed patented shape is ingeniously arranged. The whole of one end of the
handle is covered with the hair and to make this in a circular form so as to fit
the brim and rim of the hat it is trepanned in an oblique manner so as to obtain
the desired shape of the hair when it is fixed. The whole of the brush may if
required be trepanned but no particular advantage would be gained by this. The
drawings sent herewith show the brush and the portion it is desired to patent.
Sketch N° 1 shows the whole brush with polisher of velvet at back of handle.
Sketch No 2 is of whole of brush except the velvet polisher and shows at part
marked "B" the special invention-the part marked "A is the handle of the
brush the whole however being made of one piece of wood-the holes in the
Sketch No 2 part "C" shews the trepanned holes through which the hair for
the special feature in the brush is drawn.

N° 15 Regent Street Kennington Cross in the County of Surrey Brush Manu-
facturers trading in Copartnership as. Jewell and Casperd do hereby declare the
nature of our invention for an "IMPROVED HAT BRUSH" and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The nature of our invention is for brushing and cleansing the whole length of the
side brim rim and curl of the brim and rim of silk and other hats at one and the
'same time and by the same instrument to polish the hat. The present invention
differs from all others in that it is constructed with one end of the brush formed
into a semicircle, so arranged that the brim rim and curl of the brim and rim of
the hat is effectually brushed and cleaned of all dust at the same time as the side
of the hat is being brushed. The object of this arrangement we submit has never
. before been obtained and. is a great advantage as the hat can be kept perfectly
clean without injury to the shape of the brim or rim. No other brush has been
formed in such a manner as to enable the user to effectually remove all dust from
the brim and rim and the curl of the brim and rim of the hat and we claim for
this invention that the shape of the brush enables the remotest inner parts of the
curl of the brim and rim. together with the brim and side of the hat to be
brushed & without any portion of the hat being touched by any of the woodwork
or frame of the brush.

The brush is constructed of a straight piece of wood bone or ivory seven inches
in length and any desired breadth and thickness, to one side of which is attached
for its whole length hair or bristle in the usual manner or by trepanned holes
according to the quality of the brush and at one end of the brush the proposed
patented shape and combination is ingeniously arranged. The whole of one end
of the piece of wood bone or ivory is covered on both sides with the hair or bristle
and to make this in a circular form so as to fit the brim and rim of the hat and to
reach the inner portion of the curl of the brim and rim the wood is in an oblique
manner and the hair or bristle drawn through the trepanned portion so as to
obtain the desired circular shape of the hair when fixed. The whole of the brush
may if required be trepanned but no particular advantage would be gained by
this On the side of the piece of wood bone or ivory not covered with hair or
bristle is fixed a velvet polisher.
Sketch N° 1 referred to in the drawing filed with the Provisional Specification
shows the whole brush with polisher of velvet at back of handle.
Sketch N° 2 also filed with the Provisional Specification is of the whole of brush
except the velvet polisher as shewn, at part marked "B" the special invention, the
part marked "A" is the handle of the brush, the whole however being made of one
piece of wood-the holes in the Sketch No 2 part "C" shews the trepanned lioles
through which the hair for the special feature in the brush is drawn.

page_text: 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
"
(1.) The invention of an improved Hat Brush to brush at one and the same
time the whole length of the side brim, rim, and curl of the brim and rim of silk
and other hats.
(2.) The invention of the circular end of the brush formed into a semicircle by
trepanuing in an oblique manner.
(3.) The combination of the circular portion of the brush with the straight-
portion of the brush and the velvet polisher as being a novel useful and beneficial
improvement in Hat Brushes.
