the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
to be as follows:
DISTEMPER BRUSHES AND WHITE WASH BRUSHES
"
In making distemper and white wash brushes according to our Invention we
take the weight of bristles required for a brush and tie them in a knot or knots or
tufts which are cemented at the roots and are then placed on each side of an
ordinary distemper or stock handle.
We now take a short Cylindrical or conical metal ferrule or band preferably of
copper and shape it so that it has two parallel sides and two circular ends; along
the inner side of each end a piece of metal corresponding to the thickness of the
handle is.soldered at right angles to the ferrule, the pieces project beyond one edge
of the ferrule but need not project beyond the other.
The ferrule is then drawn over the bristles and handle and attached thereto by
driving through this ferrule bristles and handle pins or nails in two or more rows
the pins of one row being placed alternately with those of the adjacent row or
rows. Pins are also driven through the ferrule. and end pieces into the handle at
each end of the brush.
By these means we make a metal band distemper or whitewash brush on the
ordinary handles or stocks now in general use for making string or wire bound
brushes and in our improved brushes the bristles are held quite firmly to the stocks
without increasing the thickness and weight of the wood as is the case in all other
distemper brushes which are made with a metal band.

the County of Middlesex Brush Manufacturer and WILLIAM LEA SUTTON of 20
Saint John Street Road in the County of Middlesex Brush Maker do hereby
declare the naturo of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE
OF DISTEMPER BRUSITES AND WHITEWASH BRUSHES and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:—
The object of our Invention is to make a metal band distemper or Whitewash
Brush on the ordinary handles or stocks now in general use for making string or
wire bound brushes, the bristles of the brushes made according to our Invention
being hold quite firmly to the handles or stocks without increasing the thickness
and weight of the wood which is necessary in all other Distemper brushes which
are made with a metal band.
We will describe our Invention with referenco to the accompanying drawing
wharoin Figuro 1 represents in elevation and Figures 2 and 3 in sections at right
angles to each other a brush made according to our Invention.
In making tho said brushes according to our Invention we take the weight of
bristles or fibre A required for a brush and tie them in a knot or knots or tufta
which are cemented at the roots at a and are then placed on each side of an
ordinary disteinper or stock handle B.
We now take a short cylindrical or conical metal ferrule or band C. preferably of
copper and shape it so that it has two sides and two curved onds-Along the
inner side of each end a piece of metal D corresponding to the thickness of the
handle is soldered at right angle to the ferrule or band C. Those pieces project
beyond the upper edge of the ferrule or band C. as aliewn, but need not project
beyond the other or lower edge.
The forrule or band C. is then drawn over the bristles and handle and attached
thereto by driving through the ferrule, bristles, and handle, pins or nails f, in two
or more rows, the pins of one row being placed alternately with those of the
adjacent row or, rows.
Pius or nails are also driven through the ferrule or band C. and and pieces D
into the handle B at encli end of the brush.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is,―
1 The manufacture of Distemper and Whitewash brushes by cementing the
ends of the bristles or fibres and placing them on each side of the handle, and
placing over them a metal ferrule or band, and fustening the whole together
by pins or nails substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the
accompanying drawings,
2 The manufacture of Distemper and Whitewash brushes by cementing tho
ends of the bristles or fibres and placing them on each side of the handle, and

the said ferrule or band and the handle, the whole being fastened together by pins
or nails substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying.
