HERMAN F. STUBENRAUCH, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

FOUNTAIN BRUSH 0R DAUBER.

To all whom. it may concern:

, Be it known that I, HERMAN F. STUBEN- nAUcI-na citizen of the United States, and resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fountain Brushes or Daubers, of which the following 1s a specification, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The invention relates to brushes and daubers used for spreading liquids or pastes, and more particularly to such devices in which provision is made for supplying the material to be spread through the back of the brush or dauber.

The object of the invention is to provide a brush or dauber of improved construction, whereby the material to be spread may be continuously supplied, as from collapsible tubes, like those now in common use for containing paints and pastes of various kinds, such as shoe and vstove polish, shaving soap, and inks for stenciling. L

The invention is exemplified in the structure to be hereinafter described and illust-rated in the drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows in side elevation a device embodying the features of improvement provided by the invention, the brush being covered by a protective cap; Fig. 2 is similar to Fig. 1, but shows the brush and protective cap in central section; Fig. 3 is a perspective View showing a detail of the construction; and, Fig. 4L illustrates a dauber which may be employed in the device in place of the brush illustrated in Fig. 2.

The brush is illustrated in the drawings as having a back 10, anda body 11, preferably consisting of tufts of bristles carried by the back l() and projecting therefrom. The back 10 of the brush is apertured, as shown at 12 (Fig. 2), and a tube 13 for the delivery of material te be spread by the brush extends through the aperture 12 of the back 10 and into the body 11 of the brush, preferably to within a-short distance ofthe face of the brush. Most desirably the tube 3 is of flexible material, such as rubber, and it is formed with a flange 14 adapted to be seated upon the back of the brush about the aperture 12.

Provision is made for supplying the matcrial to be spread by the brush to the tube 13 under pressure. As shown, a threaded Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 529,953.

socket 15 adapted to receive the threaded nipple 16 of a collapsible tube 17, is mounted upon the back ofthe brush. The threaded socket 15 is`preferably supported in line with the bore of the tube 13, and immediately in rear of the flange 1-1, in order that the nipple 16 on entering the socket, may bear upon the flange 14, and the latter thereby constitute the gasket for confining the material delivered to the tube 13 from the nipple 16. As shown, the socket 15 is formed upon the end wall of. a collar 18, which is preferably made of sheet metal and has screw threads 19 formed upon its side walls for receiving the back 10 of the brush, the latter, as shown, having complementaryformed screw threads 20 upon its periphery.

A protective cap 21 is provided for covering the body 11 of the brush when not in use. As shown, the side walls of this cap are provided with screw threads 2Q, for engaging the screw threads 19 formed upon the side wall of the collar 18 upon the outside. The end wall of the cap 21 preferably carries a plug 23 for entering the end of the tube 13 when the cap is applied to the brush. As shown, the plug 23 is formed by indenting the end wall of the cap.

If desired, a dauber of the form shown in Fig.l 4 of the drawings may be used in lieu of the brush 10, 11, illustrated in Fig. 2. This dauber preferably comprises a back member 24 identical in construction with the back 10 of the brush, and a body 25 constructed of felt in the manner usually einployed for the construction of daubers, except that it is provided with a central aperture 26 in line with the aperture of the back 24,-for receiving the tube 18.

lVhen the device is in use the collapsible tube 17 serves as a 'handle for manipulating the brush 10, 11, or the dauber Q1, 25. When the contents of the tube 17 have been exhausted, it may be removedl from the brush by merely unscrewing its threaded nipple 16 from the socket 15, and a fresh tube of material substituted for it.

I claim as my invention In combination a collapsible tube having an inclined breast terminating in a screwthreaded nipple, a separable dauber-holder having an inclined surface terminating in an internally screw-threaded tubular portion adapted to engage said-nipple, said tubular portion being parallel with the side walls of said dauber-holder, the outer part of Seidl and un unnulur llunge on. the free end of holder being screw-threaded internally und said tubular portion adapted to press upon v externally and a .dauber-head adapted to suhlllunge on sand flexible tube.
