INSIDE BOTTLE BRUSH George L. N. Meyer, Milwaukee, Wi s., assignor v to Geo. J. Meyer Manufacturing Company, Cudahy, Wis., a. corporation of Wisconsin Application May 4, 1945, Serial No. 591,884
4 Claims. (Cl. 15-206) This invention relates to bottle brushes and more particularly to an inside bottle brush for use on bottle washing machines.
Brushes used in bottle washing machines to clean the inside of the bottles are commonly made by bending a piece of wire in half and twisting the two ends together with the bristles between the wires forming a cylindrical brush having a wire loop at one end and jagged wire edges at the other end. The end bristles are then bent upward and tied to form a brush for the bottom of the bottles.
Such a construction has the disadvantage of leaving rough jagged ends of the wire upward toward the bottom of the inverted bottle, causing marring of the glass as the brush is rotated.
An attempt to remedy this condition was made in the United States patent to George L. N. Meyer, No. 2,272,419, granted February 10, 1942, in which a rubber sleeve was inserted over the ends of the wires before tying the bristles over the end of the brush. This construction, while protecting the glass for a time. had the disadvantages of being expensive and of wearing out quickly.
One object of the present invention is to provide an inside bottle brush which will prevent scratching more effectively.
Another object is to reduce the cost of inside bottle brushes.
A further object is to increase the life of inside bottle brushes.
A still further object is to simplify the construction of inside bottle brushes.
Other objects will become apparent upon considering the following specification which, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates a preferred form of the invention.
According to the present invention a brush is formed by twisting a pair of wires with bristles mounted between the wires to form a substantially cylindrical brush, securing the free ends of one end of the wires together by applying a coat of solder sufficiently thick to prevent sharp edges of the wire from scracthing or marring the bottles.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a view partly in cross-section of a brush embodying the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a detail view of the upper end of the brush stock; and
Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. I
The brush is made by bending a wire in half forming a loop l0, mounting bristles [2 between the two wires and twisting the wires together as shown at [4 to grip the bristles therebetween and form a substantially cylindrical brush.
The cut ends of the wire are then dipped in solder or other soft metal which binds them together as shown at I6. The solder is applied to a sufficient thickness to form a permanent, protective coat and prevent the sharp edges of the wires from scratching the glass. The solder tip 16 of the brush thus both binds the ends of the brush stock together and prevents it from unraveling and from scratching the bottles.
The upper portion of the brush has the bristles bent upwardy as shown at 8 and bound in place by a wire 20 to form a brushing surface for the bottom of the bottles.
The brush is mounted in the end of a hollow tube 22 by means of a pin 24 so that rotation and reciprocating motion are transmitted from the tube to the brush. 7
Having thus described the invention, it is realized that it is susceptible to various changes and modifications and that such changes in shape, size and arrangement of parts may be made as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
That which is claimed as new and is desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A bottle brush of the character described, comprising a plurality of bristles, a pair of wires twisted together to secure the bristles therebetween and form a substantially cylindrical brush, and a tip on said wires of soft metal forming a binder for said wires and a protection against the ends of the wire scratching the brushed object.
2. A bottle brush of the character described, comprising a plurality of bristles, a pair of wires twisted together to secure the bristles therebetween and form a substantially cylindrical brush, and a solder tip on said wires forming a binder for said wires and a protection against the ends of the wires scratching the brushed object.
3. A bottle brush of the character described, comprising a plurailty of bristles, a pair of wires twisted together to secure the bristles therebetween and form a substantially cylindrical brush, a tip on said wires of soft metal forming a binder for said wires and a protection against the ends of the wires scratching the brushed surface and means to bind a portion of said bristles into an axial position to project axially beyond the soft metal tip on the end of said wires.
4. A bottle brush of the character described, comprising a plurality of bristles, a pair of Wires twisted together to secure the bristles therebetween and form a substantially cylindrical brush, a. soldertip onssaid -.wlres iornilng'a-a binder for said wiresan'd a protection againsfthe ends of the wires scratching the brushed object, and means to bind a portion of said bristles into an axial position to project axially beyond the solder tip.
