PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Bath or Flesh Brushes.
I, CARL EDUARD FLEMMING, trading as Ed. Flemining & Co. Brush Manufacturers
Schoenheide in Saxony Germany do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows :—
This new bath brush consists of three or more different brushes made of two or more
twisted wires inserted with bristles or other suitable material, between the twist of the
wires; alter the manner of wire bottle and fluo brushes.
These three or more brushes are parallel and are united at the ends and made to
converge on both sides or ends into a wooden handle.
The nature of the invention consists of the brush not being mounted on any
material and being therefore perfectly flexible and yielding itself exactly to the shape
of that part of the body on which it is used. It also enables its user to get hold of it
by both handles, and to rub himself in the same way as he would with a long bath
towel.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Bath or Flesh Brushes.
I, CARL EDUARD FLEMMING, trading as Ed. Flemming & Co., of Schoenheide in
Saxony, Germany, Brush Manufacturer, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide an improved bath or flesh brush which
will be perfectly flexible and when in use will yield itself exactly to the shape of that
part of the body on which it is used and enable the user to hold it by both hands and
rub himself as he would with a long bath towel.
A bath or flesh brush constructed according to this invention consists of three or
more different brushes each made of two or more wires twisted together and inserted
with bristles or other suitable material between the twist of the wires after the manner
of wire bottle and flue brushes. The said brushes are placed side by side and
connected at their ends and to wooden handles.
I will now proceed to describe how my said invention is to be performed and will
refer to the accompanying drawing which represents a flesh or bath brusb constructed
in accordance with this invention.
a' a' a' are the three different brushes made of two or more twisted wires inserted
with bristles or other suitable material between the twist of the wires placed together
side by side and connected at their ends to the loops 66 to which are respectively
jointed the handles c c. The brushes a' a² a³ are perfectly flexible so that when the
handles c c are respectively grasped by the user's hands and the brush rubbed to and
fro it will accomodate itself exactly to the shape of that part of the body on which it
is used.
It will be evident that instead of employing three flexible brushes a³ a² a³ side by
side as in the example illustrated two of the said brushes or more than thren may
be used.
The accompanying drawing illustrates what I consider to be the best way for
carrying my invention into effect but it is to be understood that the said invention is
not limited to the precise details illustrated as for instance the method of connecting

page_text: together the ends of the wire brushes and connecting them to the handles may bo
modified in various ways without departing from the nature of this invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in wint manner the same is to be performed, I doclare that what I
claim is --
A flexible flesh or bath brush constructed substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
