:MORITZk GUTMANN, OF SEATTLE. WASHINGTON.

BRUSH.A

i To all whomz't may concern/:z

Be it known that I, Moizrrz GUTMAifINJ'a citizen of the United States, and residing Vat Seattle, in the county ofKing andl State f of Washington, have invented certain new V Y and `useful Improvements in Brushes, of

' which the following is a s} eciiication` This invention relates to an improvement in polishing implements, 'comprehending more particularly a flexible body having a soft rubbing surface, and so constructed that in use, there is provided a perfectly Aeven bearing pressure of the soft surface on the surface to be dustedk or polished, yto thereby avoid liabilityy of scratching such polished surface through undue pressure in any one I part of the device.

In the drawings Figure l is a plan of the improved polthesurface to be polished. Y t

A feature of the invention is the spacing device, whereby the hand engaged surface of the polisher is held spaced from the pol? ishingsurface thereof, and while this spacisher.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the device, showing the means by which it skin or other suitable skin or material, bent Y in its central portion as indicatedat.4, to;

form upper and lowerportions 2u and 3,7so that the fur thereon is `on the outside. Y

The edges of the skin are `joined together b sewin or otherwise leavin@ the endo en Y Y g Va e i and a spacing member 5k is inserted in the body l andris formed 'of a comparatively stiifmaterial made in a bellows form'foi` Vkeeping the Vupper and lower surfaces normally spaced apart.

To upper surface'Qrof Ythe' body andi-0n the inside 4is secured a glove-shaped *por* tion 6 to forma Vpocket Vfor Areceiving' the Vhand ofone using the device or polisher.

In the use of the device on a polishedV surface, the operator, applying the polisherto Y the hand as described, rests the softundery Specification of Letters Patent. Pjnted May 31, 1921 Application filed October 23,1920. Serial No. 419,156. v i v surface of the body upon the surface to be cleaned o r polished, and `rapidly moves'V the polisherover such surface. By reason ofthe spacing element 5,"no direct pressure of the hand is upon the 'polishingl surface of the device, so. thatsuch polishing surface of ished with a perfect evenpressure 4of the .soft fur material.A As a resultof this method of application,'thereis' little liability of scratching the surface to be polished when through its own 'weight' only, and as V this weight is practically negligible and substantially constant, ythere is no pressure upon 5o the device restsupon the surfaceto beA pol`- f l such sharp particles to cause them to'scratchi ing device is showny and `preferably formed of a bellows construction, itis apparent that any. appropriate spacing element maybe f employed with equal facility. v

VThe important detail .`s"arranging lapol-` ishing surface of the devicel away from con' tact with the hand of the user, and yet fully responsive to all vmovements of the users -hand for the polishingoperation.
