AN IMPROVED COMBINATION SPLASH BRUSH AND SCRAPER
Year: 1884

page_text: I SAMUEL MUSGRAVE 8 Middleton Road Camden, Road Islington N. do hereby
declare the nature of my Invention for AN IMPROVED COMBINATION SPLASH
BRUSH AND SCRAPER to be as follows:-
According to my Invention I produce an ordinary splash brush in the usual way
with bristles or other suitable material and before finishing the back I place on the
wires a layer of thin wood, on this I fix a plate of tin, brass, vulcanite, horn or
other suitable material, the plate I have about an inch larger than the brush back
so as to allow about half an inch to project either side and end beyond the brush
wood.
I form the edges of the plates some plain all round and others with a series of
flat scollops of an inch long. For the large handled splash brush for cloths I
usually use a plate of about 4 inches long, having the scolloped edges.
For the splash brush for shoes and small brushes without handles I generally
use the plates about 2 inches in length.
For the hard splash brush for boots and shoes I use the plate with the edge plain.
For the small splash brush for cloths without handles and ladies dress splash
brushes with handles I use the plates about 3 inches long and with scolloped
edges. I finish in the usual way placing the back of the brush on the plate and
fixing right through, then polish &c.
According to this combination I reduce the necessity of employing so many
bristles for the brushes and at the same time produce a method of removing the
hardest splashes from cloths, boots, dresses &c. in the shortest period, and I consider
the use of the plate in conjunction with the brush to be novel and useful, and
therefore claim the Invention as herein described.

Sundriesman do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for AN IMPROVED
COMBINATION SPLASH BRUSH AND SCRARER and in what manner the same is 0
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
According to my Invention I produce an ordinary brush in the usual way with
bristles or other suitable material, and before finishing the back, I place on the
wires a layer of thin wood, on this I fix a plate of tin, zinc, brass, horn vulcanite
or other suitable material, the plate I have about an inch larger than the brush
back so as to allow about an inch to project either side and end beyond the
brush wood.
I form the edges of the plates, some plain all round, and others with a series of
flat scollops of an inch long. For the large handled splash brush for clothes I usually
use a plate of about 4 inches long having the scolloped edges.
For the splash brush for shoes and small brushes without handles, I generally
use a plate about 2 inches in length with the edge plain.
For the small hard splash brush for cloths without handles and ladies dress
splash brushes with handles, I use the plates about 3 inches long and with
scolloped edges. I finish in the usual way placing the back of the brush on the
plate and fixing through, then polish &c.
According to this combination I produce a method of removing the hardest
splashes, dirt &c. in the shortest period, and reduce the necessity of employing so
many bristles for the brushes, and I consider the use of the plate in conjunction
with the brush to be novel and useful, and therefore claim the Invention as herein
described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1 The application of a plate in conjunction with the brush back to form a
scraper for the removal of splashes dirt. &c. &c. substantially as hereinbefore
described.
