66 Improvements in or relating to Clothes Brushes.”
We, RACHEL ELIZABETH HADOW of 60. Hereford Road, Bayswater, London, and
EDWARD PEYTON of Bordesley Works, Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
When brushing articles of clothing etc which are covered or splashed with mud
or the like it is well known that ordinary clothes brushes do not easily remove
such mud or spots owing to the latter caking or forming a skin when dry which
has first to be broken before the bristles of the brush can act.
Now according to this invention means are provided on the brush to overcome
this difficulty as follows:-
On the back or handle or edge of the back of the brush suitable hard scraping
surfaces are provided advantageously metal ridges or strips or corrugations which
are of such a shape, depth, width, sharpness, number, etc, and so arranged as to
be adapted to readily break the dried mud when applied thereto and thereafter the
brush can easily and quickly do its work.
