do hereby declaro the 'nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN BRUSHES
to be as follows:-
I bore the holes in a slanting direction every row of holes for the bristles or
other material are slanted oposite ways from each other across from one side of
brush to the other side or lenthway from one end of brush to the other end
When the holes are slanting across way of brush I cut cross way height required
When the holes are slanting lenthway of brush I cut lenthway By this process
of cuting and slanting boreing in rows from side to other side of brush or from end
to end I produce a very rough faced brush The boards for horse brushes can have
a space cut out at sides wire or other arrangement secured across the open space.
A strap or band can be pased through to come over the back of the hand of the
person useing them.

page_text: I, JOHN ASPINALL, Brush Maker Market Hill, Barnsley in the County of York
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN BRUSHES and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement, that is to say :-
My invention of improvements in Brushes relates more particularly, to Hair
brushes, Horse brushes, Scrubbing brushes, and other hand brushes in which it is
desirable to have a rough penetrating face.
In carrying out my invention I bore the holes in the brush stock (to receive the
bristles or other material) in a slanting or diagonal direction, each alternate row
slanting in the opposite direction, or if desirable, two rows may slant in one
direction and the next two rows, in the opposite direction.
The rows of holes may be made to run lengthways, or diagonally, or straight
across the stock. When the rows of holes are made across the brush, I cut the
bristles or other material crossway to the required length, and vice versa and by
this method of boring the holes so that each row of bristles leans in the opposite
direction to the next row, or when the same method is applied to each double row.
of bristles, and the bristles are cut in the manner described, I produce a very
rough faced and penetrating brush, resulting from the fact, that if the brush is
moved either backwards or forwards, about half the bristles (or other substitutes)
present their points to the surface operated upon.
In horse brushes which require a strap, I cut a recess in each side of the brush.
stock and fix a metallic bar across it, round which the strap may be passed and
secured, or I make two holes through the stock from side to side, or from the
side through the top, through which (and the strap) a lace or cord may be passed
and tied..
The annexed sheet of drawings will illustrate my invention.
Fig. 1, represents a brush with the bristles arranged according to my invention,
A is the first row of bristles, B is the second row, which lean in the opposito
direction.
Fig. 2, is the back of a brush, C is the recess,
is passed.
D is the bar round which the strap
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
In the manufacture of Hair brushes, Horse brushes, Scrubbing brushes and other
hand brushes that are required to have a rough penetrating surface; the method of
arranging the bristles, or other materials used as substitutes for bristles, so that
each alternate row, or alternate double rows shall incline in opposite directions,
for the purpose specified, and substantially as described and illustrated.
Dated the 3rd day of March 1885.
