Improved Implement for Cleaning Saucepans, Dishes, Boards, and
other Articles.
I, CHARLES EBENEZER CHALLIS, of 13, South Hill Park Gardens, Hampstead,
N.W., Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
In order to provide an implement which will remove burnt substances from
saucepans baking tins, dishes &c. or hard clinging substances, dirt, &c. from
boards and other articles more easily and efficiently than any other implement at
present known to me, I construct a tool with a plate of steel or other suitable
material of approximately triangular shape, but with one side curved instead of
straight and one corner rounded while one side may be split into a series of
tongues: this plate is pierced about the centre and pivotted in a handle so that
either angle or side may be brought into operation as required: while to complete
the removal of the finer substances, I pivot or attach to the handle or to the side of
the plate, a knot or knots of fine wire preferably crimped, by means of a ferrule
into which the knot of wire is drawn.
