PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Securing a Brush Head to its Handle.
I, WILLIAM WARBURTON of 23, Church Street Bolton Foreman of Works,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
My invention consists of a flat piece of metal the upper part of which is bent
and curved to adjust itself to the section of the handle of a brush and the lower
part is bent out and curved to adjust itself to that portion of the head of a brush
which is in close proximity to the handle.
Each end of my curved metal piece is pierced with a hole through which screws
are placed respectively into the handle and into the head of the brush to secure
the whole together.
By mears of my invention a much more secure method is obtained of fastening
the brush handle to the brush head, than is now ordinarily in use, more screw holes
may be arranged if necessary.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Securing a Brush Head to its Handle.
I, WILLIAM WARBURTON, late of 23 Church Street, and now of 103 Davenport
Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Foreman of Works, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention consists of a flat piece of metal the upper part of which is bent
and curved to adjust itself to the section of the handle of a brush and the lower
part is bent out and curved to adjust itself to that portion of the head of a brush
which is in close proximity to the handle. Each end of my curved metal piece is
pierced with a hole through which screws are placed respectively into the handle
and into the head of the brush to secure the whole together. By means of my
invention a much more secure method is obtained of fastening the brush handle
to the brush head than is now ordinarily in use. More screw holes may be arranged
if necessary.
Fig. 1 is a plan of my invention showing the form or shape of the flat piece of
metal before being bent and curved to adjust itself to the section of the handle
and the head of a brush.
Fig. 2 is an end clevation of a brush and handle secured together by my improved
device, and
Fig. 3 is a part front elevation of Fig. 2.
A is the brush head; B the handle, and C the bristles. The brush head A is
provided in the usual manner with a hole to receive the end of the handle B.
The old or present method of securing the handle B to the brush head A, after
being inserted in the hole in the head, is by means of a nail driven at an angle into
the head and into or through that portion of the handle inserted in the brush
head. This system of securing the two parts together is very objectionable as
it often results in splitting either the brush head or the end of the handle
inserted therein. To overcome this defect I provide the metallic piece D, the
upper part of which is bent and curved to adjust itself to the section of the
DB21

page_text: handle B, and the lower end or part is bent out and curved to adjust itself to
that portion of the brush head A in close proximity to the handle B as shown
in Fig. 1. The metallic piece D is provided with the holes E through which
the screws G are placed respectively into the handle B and into the head A of
the brush to secure the whole together, thus making them more
allowing of them being more readily taken to pieces than hitherto.
the screws G may be substituted by nails.
secure and
If desired
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
In combination with a brush and its handle for securing the same together the
use of the metallic piece D provided with the holes E and secured to the brush
head and handle by means of screws or their equivalents, substantially as described.
Dated the 24th December 1891.
