We ISAAC KNÍвB ROGERS Watch Maker, and ALBERT APPLEGATE Wine
Merchant both of Trowbridge, Wilts, do hereby declare the nature of our saiḍ
invention for "IMPROVED MANUFACTURE OF BRUSHES FOR CLEANING BELLIED
BOTTLES, JARS TUBES, FLUES, AND THE LIKE," to be as follows:-
==
The object of our invention is the construction of brushes in such a manner that
they can be inserted through the neck of a bottle or jar by a turning action for
washing the interior at all parts by a rotation of a spindle to which the brushes are
attached.
For the purpose of our invention we take a metal tube, preferably steel, and
bend it into an irregular spiral form we then with a circular cutter slit the tube
along its length.
J
Into this split we draw by means of wire tufts or layers of hair bristles or other
material so that the bend of the tufts are within the tube. We then by a clamping
device compress the edges of the slit towards each other with sufficient grip to hold
the hair or bristles firmly in place and thus form a spiral brush with a line of hair
or bristles projecting therefrom.
This brush with any diameter of spiral thus made can be attached to a spindle,
can be easily inserted into a bottle or jar by a screwing action and be made to
impinge upon and cleanse all parts of its interior thus in the case of say two gallon
bottles (jars) which have narrow necks and bellied bodies the interior can be
completely cleansed of all impurities with facility.
The end of this spiral brush has a projecting tuft to enable the interior bottom
of the bottle or jar to be acted upon in a similar manner.

We ISAAC KNIBB ROGERS Watch Maker and ALBERT APPLEGATE, Wine
Merchant, both of Trowbridge, Wilts, 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 our invention is the construction of brushes in such a manner that
they can be inserted through the neck of a bottle or jar by a turning action for
washing the interior at all parts by a rotation of a spindle to which the brushes are
attached.
For the purpose of our invention we take a metal tube A (see Figure 1 of the
annexed drawings) preferably steel, and bend or coil it into an irregular spiral
form, then with a circular cutter slit the tube along its length. Into this split B
we draw by means of wire, tufts or layers C C of hair bristles or other material
so that the bend of the tufts are within the tube A. We then by a clamping
device compress the edges of the slit B towards each other with sufficient grip to
hold the hair or bristles C C firmly in place and thus form a spiral brush with a
line of hair or bristles projecting therefrom.
Figure 2 represents our spiral metal tube with holes D D drilled and tuſts of
hair, bristles, or other material C C inserted in the usual manner.
This brush with any diameter of spiral thus made can be attached to a spindle E,
can be easily inserted into a bottle jar cask etc as shown at Figure 3 by a screwing
action and be made to impinge upon and cleanse all parts of its interior thus in the
case of say two gallon bottles (jars) which have narrow necks and bellied bodies
the interior can be completely cleansed of all impurities with facility.
The end of this spiral brush has a projecting tuft E to enable the interior
bottom of the bottle or jar to be acted upon in a similar manner.
Brushes made according to our invention are applicable for cleaning tubes, flues,
chimnies etc.
• 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
The improved construction of brushes as described and shown in the annexed
drawings.
