TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, Nat Palmer, of New Castle, in the county of Lincoln, and State of Maine, have invented a new and improved Implement for Washing Windows; and I do hereby declare that the following is a, full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in forcing water through a hollow staff or tube by aid of the bulb and tubing of a rubber syringe, so that the water forced as aforesaid, and passing through the staff or tube curved at the upper end, falls either against the window or upon thesponge, brush, or mop secured to a plate of wood or Other material attached to the upper end of said staff.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construe^ tion and operation.

It consists of a hollow staff, as seen in Plate 1, Figure 1, marked A, or tube, marked B, as seen in Plate 1, Figures 2 and 3. The letter C, in plate 1, figs. 1, 2, and 3, represents the plate to which the sponge, mop, or other material is secured. The letter G marks the sponge, mop, or other material, as seen in figs. 2 and 3. D marks the bulb, which is permanently secured to the staff or tube before mentioned. E marks the rubber tubing of the syringe, as shown in plate 1, fig. 1; and F marks a piece of hollow metal attached to the lower end of the rubber tubing, by the weight of which the end of said tubing is sunk and retained in the water.

The process of operating is as follows : The lower end of the tubing, marked E, having been sunk in water by the metallic weight, marked F in fig. 1, the water is drawn up and forced through the tube B, by pressing and relaxing the bulb 1) with the hand, against the window or upon the sponge or mop, whereby the sponge or mop is constantly supplied with clean water.
