page_text: I, WILLIAM WALTER CORAM SCUSE Upholsterer, of 27 Devonshire Terrace Grosvenor
Road, St. Pauls, Bristol, 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 :-
Instead of the ordinary domestic, railway, ship and stable brooms and brushes, I
make them with a tire flange or band of Indiarubber, fixed around their Heads or
Bodies as at A in Fig. 1 in Drawings; the Tire flange or band of Indiarubber is
made either solid or hollow, enclosed, or covered with Leather, Canvas, Felt, Baize,
Cloth, or Velvet, when required, and fixed around the Head or Body of the Broom
or Brush as shown at A in Fig. 2. A half round hollow to be worked or made
around the Head or Body of the Broom or Brush as shown at B in fig. 2. The Tire,
flange, or band of Indiarubber to be half sunk therein and fixed with nails, tacks, or
glue, the two sections or parts of the Head or Body being then screwed together, as
shown at C in fig. 2, the other half or part of the Tire, flange, or band of Indiarubber
will then stand out from the Head, or body of the Broom or Brush; thus forming a
Cush or Fender around the Head or Body of the aforesaid Broom or Brush, making
it non destructive and noiseless when in use, by reason of it coming in contact with
other Bodies, viz. Painted wood work, Furniture, &c. &c.
Fig. 1 in Drawings, represents a Sweeping Broom or Brush with Tire, flange, or
Band of Indiarubber fixed around its Head or body.
Fig. 2 in Drawings represents sectional view of a Sweeping Broom or Brush,
showing Tire, flango or band of Indiarubber fixed in half round hollow, with the two
sections or parts of the Head or body screwed together.
Fig. 3 in Drawings represents Tire, flange, or band of Indiarubber, A. forming the
cush or Fender, D. edge for fixing.
Fig. 4 in Drawings represents sectional or end view of same.
Fig. 5 in Drawings represents another way or method of fixing the Tire, flange or
band of Indiarubber, viz. half sunk as at B in Fig. 2, but simply fixed around the
Head or body of the Broom or Brush (the aforesaid Head or Body not being made
in two parts or sections as shown in Fig. 2) with nails, tacks, or glue; the action being
exactly the same, viz. forming a Cush or Fender, like letters relate to like parts in
each drawing.
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 ;
1st. All kinds of domestic, railway, ship, and stablo Brooms, and brushes,
substantially made, as shown or described by Drawings.
2nd. The Tire, flange, or band of Indiarubber either solid or hollow, (whether
enclosed or covered with Leather, canvas, felt, baize, cloth, or velvet, or not).
3rd. Methods of fixing the Tire, flange, or band, of Indiarubber, as shown in
Fig. 2 and 5.
