Year: 1882

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William John Sage of 77 Lorrimore Road Walworth
in the County of Surrey for an Invention of IMPROVED MEANS OR APPLIANCES
FOR SECURING HEADS OF BROOMS TO THEIR HANDLES
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William John Sage at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 1st September 1882.
WILLIAM JOHN SAGE of 77 Lorrimore Road, Walworth in the County of
Surrey, "IMPROVED MEANS OR APPLIANCES FOR SECURING HEADS OF BROOMS TO
THEIR HANDLES."
The object of this Invention is certain means or appliances shaped to fit the
heads of brooms and of their handles that the two may be securely connected one
to the other thereby.
For the purpose of my Invention I form by casting stamping or otherwise, metal
strips or straps hollowed or rounded for a given part or for the whole of their
length to conform to the diameter and partially encircle a broom handle against
which the strap can be fixed by screws or other fastenings. The lower end of the
strap has a hollowed, rounded or other shaped blade as part of same which conforms
to the shape of the head of a broom upon or to which it can also be secured by
screws or other fastenings. This strap can be used alone for securing the head to
the handle or in conjunction with the usual nail driven at an angle through them.

My Invention is clearly shown at Figure 1 prepared for rounded broom stock
and at Figure 2 for a flat stock Figure 3 showing its application to a broom.
the strip or strap perforated at B B for screws to secure it to the stock C. D is a
strip or strap also perforated for its attachment to the handle E. The neck F may
be plain or it may be fluted as at G to give additional strength.
In all cases the appliance is shaped to fit the stock and also the handle in order
to find a fair seating and there bind the handle and the stock firmly together.
Having now described the nature of my said Invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed I declare that I claim :
The appliance shown on the annexed drawings shaped to fit a handle and stock
of a broom as and for the purposes described.
