Improved Means for Fastening Brushes to Handles.
I, JAMES HULLEY HILL, of 2, Delamere Street, North, Ashton-under-Lyne, in
the County of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:
This invention is intended to provide a simple and efficient means of affixing
a brush handle to the stock or head of a brush, or removing said handle therefrom:
when the brush has been worn.
For the purpose of this invention I form a metallic socket which is fixed into
the stock of a brush. On one side of said socket a slot is formed that is vertical
at the commencement but terminates in an inclined slot near the bottom of the
socket. I fit a ferrule on the lower end of the brush handle, the said ferrule
having a stud on one side thereof of a size to fit into the slot in the herein before
named socket.
In order to affix the handle to the head of a brush the said stud is inserted in
the slot in the socket as far as the bottom of the vertical slot when the handle is
turned which causes the stud to travel along the inclined slot thereby forming
a bayonet joint and uniting the handle firmly to the head of the brush; when
the handle is required to be removed the handle is turned in a reverse direction
and the stud withdrawn from the slot.
In some cases I may employ a spring in lieu of the stud.
Improved means for Fastening Brushes to Handles.
I, JAMES HULLEY HILL, of 2, Delamere Street, North, Ashton-under-Lyne, in
the County of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:
-
This invention is intended to provide a simple and efficient means of affixing
a brush handle to the stock or head of a brush or for removing said handle there-
from when the brush has been worn.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings to which I hereinafter refer. Fig. 1
is the side view and Fig. 2 a plan of a socket for fitting in the stock of a brush.
Fig. 3 represents the ferrule fitted to a brush handle for inserting in the afore-
[Price 8d1

page_text: said socket. Fig. 4 shows the application of my invention. In these views
similar letters refer to similar parts.
For the purpose of this invention I form a metallic socket as a which I fix
into the stock of a brush as b shown in Fig. 4.
I form a vertical slot c on one side of said socket which at the bottom end
joins an inclined slot d; I fit a ferrule e on the bottom end of the brush handle f,
said ferrule having a stud g or an equivalent on one side thereof of a size that
will fit into the slots c and d in the hereinbefore mentioned socket a.
In order to affix a handle to the head of a brush the end of said handle with
the ferrule e attached is inserted in the socket a, the study sliding down the
groove until it reaches the bottom of said groove when the handle is turned
which causes the stud to enter and travel along the inclined slot d, thereby
drawing the tapered ferrule on the end of the handle into the tapered socket and
firmly uniting the handle to the head of the brush.
When the handle is required to be removed the handle is turned in a reverse
direction and the stud withdrawn from the slots.
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―
Securing a handle to the stock or head of a brush by means of a socket as a
fitted therein that is formed on one side with a vertical groove as c which at the
bottom end joins an inclined groove as in combination with a ferrule as e that
is formed with a stud thereon as g or an equivalent for inserting in said grooves
which when the handle with the ferrule attached to the bottom end thereof is
turned, firmly unites the handle to the head or stock of the brush substantially
as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
