CARPET Bnnrnn.

Application filed April 16, 1923.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that l, NEWTON J. Bisi-tor, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Carpet Beater, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to carpet' beaters or the like, the primary object of the invenv tion being to provide a carpet beater so constructed that the body portion thereof will bend when it contacts with the article being cleaned, thereby eliminating any possibility of the users hand contact-ing with the article under treatment.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be secured to the handle portion in such a way as to restrict movement of the beater proper, with respect to the handle to insure against the handle becoming displaced.

A still further obj ect of the invention is to provide a beater wherein the beating elements are formed integral with the body portion thereof to render the beater exceptionally strong and durable.

`With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention. v

Referring toy the drawing:

Figure l is'an elevational view of a beater constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2 2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the device comprises a body portion indicated generally by the reference character 5 which is formed of a plurality of lengths of wire material, each of which is bent intermediate its ends to provide a pair of opposed legs 6 and 7, which are twisted around each other Serial No. 632,494.

as clearly shown by Figure 3 of the drawing. The legs 6 and 7 of each length of wire are spaced apart throughout portions of their lengths to provide beating lingers 8, which beating lingers are held in spaced relation providing a relatively wide carpet engaging section, as clearly shown by Figure l of the drawing.

The arms 6 of each length of wire closely engage the outer edge of the handle portion 9, the extremities thereof passing laterally through the openings l0 formed in the handle where the outer ends thereof are bent upwardly into engagement with the opposed side of the handle 9, as at 11.

rlhe arm 7 of each length of wire is positioned in the opening 12 formed in one end of the handle, thereby bracing the body portion 5 of the beater aga-inst lateral movement. As shown, the lengths of wire are twisted about each other whereby the body portion is formed into a relatively rigid structure, but at the same time of such a construction as to permit of flexing while in use.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is A carpet bea-ter including a plurality of lengths of wires, each length of wire being bent intermediate its end to provide opposed leg portions, the leg portions being twisted about each other to provide a body portion, a handle having an opening formed nin one end thereof and having transversely disposed openings in spaced relation with one end, one of the leg` members of each length of wire being disposed in the opening formed in the end of the handle, the opposed leg member of each length of wire extending through the transversely extending openings, and the ends of the last mentioned legs being bent into close engagement with the handle.

ln testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, l have hereto affixed my signa- 95 ture in the presence of two witnesses.
