SAMUEL MILES, 2A, Longnor Road, Bancroft Road, Mile End, E., Advertising
Agent, 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; -
Improved brush or rubber for cleaning school black boards.
The back (or handle) is like that of a boot brush and the front (or in the place
of hair) is felt standing on end.
For purposes of illustration I will now refer to the annexed drawings in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation showing my invention, Figure 2 is a cross section
through the line X Y in Figure 1. Figure 3 plan view of Figure 1. (c) is the
base or holder which may be formed of any suitable material such as wood or
metal. The dusting or rubbing surface a is formed of felt or other material of a
similar nature, this material is secured to the base or holder in any convenient
manner such as by means of glue; b being a band for the purpose of more
effectually securing the felt to the support or holder. This band being attached
to the support or holder in any convenient manner, such as by glue or cement, or
it may be tacked thereto and sewn or secured to the felt or material a forming the
dusting or rubbing surface. The strip of material is wound upon itself as shown
in Figure 3, and may be continuous or formed in the required number of sections,
and if desired may be of various colours. Although for purposes of illustration
I have described my invention as applied to a device for cleaning black boards,
it will be readily seen that there are other purposes to which my invention might
be applied, such as polishing, window cleaning and analogous uses, and the base
instead of having a flat surface upon which the material is secured or carried may
be provided with a rim for the purpose of clipping the material as it will be
readily seen that there are various ways in which the wound strip or strips of
017

page_text: material may be secured or carried upon the base and consequently the shape and
configuration of the material thereon may be varied according to the uses for
which my invention may be employed.
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:-
1. The improved rubber substantially as described and illustrated herein and
for the purpose set forth.
2. In rubbers a strip or strips of suitable material wound or coiled to the
required shape or configuration and secured or carried upon a support or holder
substantially as described and illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
