DUST BBATER. No. 538,480. Patented Apr. 30, 1895.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHRISTOPHER BENSON OADMAN, OF GLOVERSVILLE, NEW YORK.
DUST-BEATER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 538,480, dated April 30, 1895.
Application tiled December 14, 1894. Serial No. 531,748. (No model.)
.To a/ZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER BENSON OADMAN, a citizen of the United States, residingat Gloversville, county of Fulton, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dust-Beaters. of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to such improvements and consists of the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and subsequently claimed.
Reference may be had to the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several figures therein.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a plan view of one side of my improved dust-beater. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the core of the shank and handle detached. Fig. 3 is a vertical crosssection taken on the broken line 3 Sin Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a similar section taken on the broken line 4 4 in Fig. I. Fig. 5 is a similar view showing a different form of handle-shank. Fig. 6 is a view similar to that in Fig. 1, showing modified form of construction. Fig. 7 is a vertical cross section taken on the broken line 7 7 in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a vertical crosssection taken on the broken line 8'8 in Fig. 6.
The body part of my improved dust-beater.
is made of some flexible material such as soft rubber, leather or fabric, preferably of two strips or plies of leather superposedoneupon another, each strip being slitted at one end to form the beater-lashes lA. The other end of the body pa rt is tapered or narrowed to form the handle B.\{l`he edges of the unslitted ends of the superposed pleare secured together along their edges, as by the row of stitche'sB, thereby forming at that end a pocketin which is inserted a stiffenin g handle-shank C, and secured therein as by rivets C inserted through the plies and inserted shank.
Vhen desired the extreme end of the handle may be provided with a nail aperture C2 by inserting an eyelet through the plies and inserted shank previously apertured for that purpose, whereby the device may be hung up when not in use. The inserted shank may be of any desired material, as malleable iron or wood, or it may be made of two pieces of sheet-metal Cand C4 swaged in suitable dies to t'orm ou their faces the upturned edgeanges C5 thereby imparting strength and rigidity to the parts. The two pieces are thin and placed face to face, as shown in Fig. 5, and inserted between the unslitted ends ot' the plies.
When desired, the unslitted ends of the superposed plies may be inclosed between the parts of a two-piece shank, as shown in Figs. 7 and 6; and the rivets D inserted through the inclosing shank-pieces D and inclosed yunslitted plies D2.
I ani thus able to construct a durable and most effective beater which is especially adapted for use in beating dust from fabric.
The fabric is thoroughly cleansed without being injured.
In beating upholstered furniture, the lashes being individually soft and small do not injure the woodwork if they happen to strike it, whereby the work can be quickly and thoroughly done.
I am aware that flexible strips have been secured in a head of like material by tacks,
said head being made to receive a wire holding loop bent at its ends to prevent tearing of the head and inserted in a handle, theV whole brush including the head rotating or swinging loosely about'the wire loop by which it is connected to a handle. By myimprovementfl'exible strips are made integral with the handle and the two unslitted parts of the strips of material used are suitably shaped at one end for this purpose. The slitswhereby the lashes are formed do not extend quite to the handle proper but stop short thereof as shown whereby a head is formed integral with the lashes. This head and the handle are stiffened by a suitablyshaped piece or pieces which is riveted or otherwise secured both to the head and to the handle portions of the unslitted end of the strips. l
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. In a dust-beater, the combination with a entire at the other end and a handle-stiftening shank, said shank being Xed directly to the nnslitted handle portions of the strip, substantially as set forth.
2. In a dust-beater, the combination with a body-part consisting of two strips of fiexible material su perposed one upon the other, severally slitted at one end and stitched together along the edges of the nnsltted end, of a 1o stiffening shank composed of tWo pieces of swaged sheet-metal placed face to face and inserted between the unslitted portions of the plies, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 10th day of December', 1894.
CHRISTOPHER BENSON CADMAN.
