MENTS in MACHINE BOTTLE BRUSHES
Year: 1888

page_text: I CHARLES HAYWOOD HOYLAND of West Bar Green Sheffield in the County of
York brush maker do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS in MACHINE BOTTLE BRUSHES to be as follows
-
This invention relates to improvements in machine bottle brushes and consists of
a solid rod or shank forged or cast to any required size and section for the purpose of
giving increased strength, and greater rigidity.
In the construction of this invention I take a round or other shaped rod or shank of
a required length and strength having the top or brush end thereof on either side a
recess or groove with hole therein at the bottom to receive a piece of wire which is
bent down at the centre and the two ends thus formed are twisted and the bristles
woven in to form the brush in the ordinary way.
To further secure the brush to the rod or shank the twisted wire may be soldered to
the rod or shank.
The said rod being smooth will not break or chip the bottle necks, or the threads in
the necks of Patent screw stoppered bottles.
Long shanks or rods required in washing wine bottles are provided with a bushing
for the purpose of steadying the said rod or shank.
By this invention the old shanks may be used until worn out as a new brush may be
easily attached thereto.

Improvements in Machine Bottle Brushes.
I, CHARLES HAYWOOD HOYLAND of West Bar Green Sheffield in the County of
York brush-maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN MACHINE BOTTLE BRUSHES" and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in machine bottle brushes and consists
of a solid rod or shank forged or cast to any required size or section.
At the brush end of the said rod or shank on either side thereof is a recess or
groove having a hole therein through which is passed a piece of wire which is hent at
the centre, and the two ends thus formed are twisted and the bristles woven in in the
ordinary manner to form the brush.
By this method I obtain increased strength and greater rigidity also truth in running
as the brush is accurately centred.
To further secure the brushr to the rod or shank the twisted wire may be soldered
thereto.
as not to
By preference the rod or shank will be round and smooth so
break or chip the bottle neck or wear away the threads of patent screw stoppered
bottles.
Long shanks or rods required for washing wine bottles are provided with bushings
for the purpose of steadying them when in use.
Another advantage of this invention is that the old shank may be used until worn
out, as new brushes may be easily attached thereto.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Fig. 1. is a side view in elevation of the rod or shank shewing the groove A, and
hole B.
Fig. 2. is a front view in elevation of Fig. 1. shewing the wire C for securing the
bristles to form the brush.
Fig. 3. is a front view in elevation-shewing-the-brush complete with the bushing D
as used for wine bottles.
Fig. 4. is an enlarged plan of rod or shank.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is:
-
Firstly. Improvements in a machine bottle brush having a solid rod or shank to
which is attached the brush by passing a piece of wire through the said rod or shank,
twisting it and weaving in the bristles in the ordinary manner.
Secondly. In a machine bottle brush whereby greater strength, rigidity, and
simplicity in manufacture are obtained as hereinbefore specified described and as
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
