PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Daniel Mylchreest at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, 'on
the 5th June 1875. .
I, DANIEL MYLCHREEST, of Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
Marine Architect and Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of the
said Invention for "AN IMPROVED ADJUSTABLE CLIP AND SOCKET FASTENING,"
to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object to provide simple and efficient means
of attaching brushes, scrapers, or like instruments to handles so as to
allow of the brush or other instrument being adjusted at any angle to
the handle, and also to allow of handles of various lengths being
employed; and consists essentially in employing a tubular clip for

page_text: holding the instrument, and a socket for attaching to the handle united
together by means of a joint.
The tubular clip may be of taper or other form to receive or hold the
brush or like instrument, and may be capable of being tightened by a
screw or other means.
The socket is provided in the interior of its open end with one or
more feathers or cutting projections which prevent the said socket
from turning when driven on the handle, the interior of the closed
end is provided with a taper pin, is to enter and expand the wood
over the said feathers or projection, and secure the socket in position.
The joint between the clip and socket may be of any ordinary kind,
and if desired means, such as a binding screw, may be provided to
retain the clip and socket at any required angle to each other.
The said socket may be employed independently of the clip as a ferrule
for sticks, umbrellas, or similar purposes.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Daniel Mylchreest in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 4th December 1875.
