I, JOHN KERR, of 43, Main Street, New Milnes, County of Ayr, Scotland, Oil
and Colour Merchant, 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; —
This invention consists of a metal shield about 2" in length fashioned to fit on
end of pole used. One of the longitudinal edges project and is perforated with
five holes the opposite edge is detached and perforated with holes corresponding
in number and size to the other edge. There is enough cord laced backwards
and forwards through the holes in the edges to pass over the handle of the brush
which is desired to be fastened. Thus forming a clip which is fastened & un-
fastened with a screw and nut which is attached to the moveable edge and passes
through a projection or shield.
In order that my invention can be easily understood and carried into practice
I have appended hereto a sheet of drawings upon which;-

page_text: Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my holder in actual attachment to a
brush and pole.
Figure 2 & 3 are elevations of the two parts of the holder.
Figure 4 is a view of the holder complete ready for attachment.
A is the one part of the shield or holder and B the other having the holes C
for the cord D to be enlaced, E is the tongue having a slot into which the screw G
takes and is secured by the winged nut H.
In attaching a brush to a pole K with the use of my holder the handle J and
the pole K are placed on the cord D the parts A and B are then brought together
the screw fitting into the slot and screwed up tightly by the winged nut H
until the pole K and handle J are firmly spliced together.
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;
-
An improved brush holder or clamp made in two parts held together by cords
and means for securing a brush and pole together substantially as and for the
purpose herein described and set forth.
Dated this 27th day of March 1899.
