PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottle Brushes with Removable Bristles.
I, HUGO WENTZKY of 53 Stephan Strasse Berlin in the Empire of Germany,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to brushes for bottles. In the annexed drawing Fig. 1
shows the brush in longitudinal section and Figs. 2-5 are details.
Upon a rod a (Fig. 1) which is provided with a handle or arranged for machine
working, is fixed in any suitable manner a tube b. In this tube b is placed a
second tube c. In the upper open end of the tube c (Figs. 1 & 2) is welded a
plug to receive a pin e upon which revolves a hollow screw d. This screw dis
left handed and can be screwed to about half its length into the exterior tube b
whereby a regulating movement of the inner tube c within the exterior tube b is
possible. To facilitate the turning of the screw d, it is provided with a square
head g (Fig. 3).
Upon the other half of the screw d is screwed a tube with a conically ending
closing head h.
The bristles in bunches are distributed in the following manner upon the brush.
In the open point i of the closing head h is introduced the head bunch k. If the
head is formed conically inside, this bunch will be held fast by itself, otherwise the
bunch k can be fixed by the screw l. The other bunches o arranged in spiral form,
are put in the holes m of the exterior tube band in holes n of the inner tube c.
The bristle bunches are fixed by screwing the screw d and with this the inner
tube c into the exterior tube b, whereby the upper borders of the holes n are forced
against the bristle bunches o and press the latter against the under border of the
holes m.
In order to prevent the tube c after being placed in the tube 6 from turning in
the latter, a screw q is inserted in the tube c (Fig. 4), this screw q rests with its
head in the slit p of the tube b, wherein it is guided.
To hold fast the rod a and the tube b during fitting up and dismounting, in the
latter is an opening r (Fig. 5) in which may be introduced a pin or plug. If new
bristle bunches are to be put in, and when the brush is completely dismounted it is
put together in the following manner.
By using a key upon the square g the screw d is screwed so far into the tube b,
that the openings n cover exactly the holes m. All the bristle bunches o are put
into the holes m and n. By further screwing inwards the screw d, also the tube o
is moved further into the tube b; whereby the bristle bunches o are fixed in the
above mentioned manner in the holes m aud n by the moving of the tubes. Then
the bunch k is introduced into the closing head h, and if necessary it is fixed by
means of the screw . When the head h is screwed on the free part of the screw d
he brush will be complete.

I, HUGO WENTZKY of 53 Stepban Strasse Berlin in the Empire of Germany
Merchant, 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 :-
This invention relates to brushes for bottles. In the drawings filed with the
Provisional Specification Fig. 1 shows the brush in longitudinal section. Figs. 2
to 5 are details.
a
Upon a rod a (Fig. 1) which is provided with a handle or arranged for machine
working, is fixed in any suitable manner a tube b. In this tube b is placed a
second tube c. In the upper open end of the tube c (Figs. 1 and 2) is welded
plug to receive a pin e upon which revolves a hollow screw d. This screw d is
left handed and can be screwed to about half its length into the exterior tube b
whereby a regulating movement of the inner tube c within the exterior tube b is
possible to facilitate the turning of the screw d, it is provided with a square bead g
(Fig. 3).
Upon the other half of the screw d is screwed a tube with a conically ending
closing head h.
The bristles in bunches are distributed in the following manner upon the brush.
In the open point i of the closing head h is introduced the head bunch k. If the
head is formed conically inside, this bunch will be held fast by itself otherwise the
bunch k can be fixed by the screw 1. The other bunches o arranged in spiral form
are put in the holes m of the exterior tube b and in holes n of the inner tube c.
The bristle bunches are fixed by screwing the screw d and with this the inner
tube c into the exterior tube 6 whereby the upper borders of the holes n are forced
against the bristle bunches o and press the latter against the under border of the
holes m.
In order to prevent the tube c after being placed in the tube b from turning in
the latter a screw q is inserted in the tube c (Fig. 4) this screw q rests with its
head in the slit p of the tube b wherein it is guided.
To hold fast the rod a and the tube 6 during fitting up and dismounting, in
the latter is an opening (Fig. 5) in which may be introduced a pin or plug. If
new bristle bunches are to be put in and when the brush is completely dismounted
it is put together in the following manner.
By using a key upon the square g the screw d is screwed so far into the tube b
that the openings n cover exactly the holes m. All the bristle bunches o are put
into the holes m and n. By further screwing inward the screw d also the tube c
is moved further into the tube 6 whereby the bristle bunches o are fixed in the
above manner in the holes m and n by the moving of the tubes. Then the bunch k
is introduced into the closing head h and if necessary it is fixed by means of the
screw b. When the head his screwed on the free part of the screw d the brush
will be complete.
When wire bunches are used, besides the fixing of the bunches by means of
removing the tubes b and c the screwing in of the bunches in the holes m and n
provided with female screws, the screws upon the heads of the bunches being
arranged in such a manner, that the bunches are put in an easily smelting smooth
metal, tin or other kind and the screw is pressed with forming pincers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1.) In the bottle brush having removable bunches of bristles or of any metal

page_text: wires the apparatus for fixing the bristles bunches consisting of the tubes b and c
which lie one in the other and are provided with openings m n for receiving the
bunches o and which are guided one in the other by means of the slit p and
screw 9 removal being effected by a screw d screwed in the exterior tube 6 and
seated capable of being revolved upon the upper end of the inner tube c.
(2.) In the bottle brush specified in Claim 1 the arrangement of a head bunch k
in a tube-like or conically ending closing head screwed upon the free part of
the screw d in the exterior tube 6 and united, capable of being revolved, with
the inner tube c.
(3.) In the bottle brush specified in Claims 1 and 2 when wire bunches are
used, besides the fixing of the bunches by means of removing the tube b and c
the screwing in of the bunches in the holes m and n provided with female screws,
the screws upon the heads of the bunches being arranged in such a manner,
that the bunches are put in an easily smelting smooth metal, tin or other kind
and the screw is pressed with forming pincers.
