MARY L. HENRY, 015 JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS.

WINDOW-POLISHER.

Application fi1ed April 6, 1920. Serial No. 371,622.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY L. HENRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jacksonville, in the county of Morgan and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vindow- Polishers, of which the following is a specification. Y

This. invention relates to devices for cleaning windows and has for its object the provision of a device adapted to be engaged by the hand of an operator whereby to polish a window, the device being triangular in shape whereby to reach into the corners of a sash in a very effective manner and the device is constructed of a back having strips of felt secured edgewise thereof and secured together so as to provide an effective pad.

An important object is the provision of a device of this character which has mounted upon its back a hand engaging loop or strap which is swiveled so that either corner of the device may be used as a front corner.

An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which will be simple and inexpensive in manufacture, highly efficient in use, durable in service, and a general improvement in the art.

lVith the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists inthe details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings n which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device,

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view. Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 10 designates the back of the device which is triangular in shape and which may be formed of any suitable material, either rigid orflexible, though it is preferred that a flexible material be used. Secured upon the underside of the back 10, as by screwing, cementing, or by any other desired means, is a pad designated broadly by the numeral 11 and this pad is formed of a plurality of strips 12 which extend preferably in parallel relation to and flush with the edges of the back. Disposed between these strips 12 is a series of other strips 12} which are parallel with each other and whlch are secured with their flat sides together. All the strips 12 and 13 are united by suitable means so as to provide a compact pad.

In order that the device may be properly handled I provide a loop or strap 14 which may be of leather but which is preferably of elastic webbing, and this loop is swiveled upon the center of the back 10, as shown at 15, so that either corner of the device may be used as a front corner.

In the use of the device it will be seen that the hand is engaged within the strap or loop 14; and the pad rubbed over the window or other surface to be polished. It is evident that the triangular shape of the device facilitates the cleaning of the corners of a window pane. It is well known that felt is an excellent medium for polishing glass and a felt pad constructed as above described and as shown, is believed to be highly eflicient inpolishing or burnishing a window so as to render the same thoroughly clean and free from all smearsand streaks.

lVhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is of course to be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form, construction, and arrangement of parts as will not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim A window polisher comprising a back formed as an equi-lateral triangle in shape, and a felt pad secured upon the underside of the back and conforming in size and shape thereto, said pad being formed of three strips of felt secured upon the underside of the pad in parallel relation to and in registration with the edges thereof and having their meeting ends mitered, and a series of felt strips extending in parallel relation and confined between said first named strips MARY L. HENRY.
