To. all whom it may con/cam:

Be it known that I, OLA'LTS C. Wow, a citi-.

No. 767,510, the air is delivered through an annular opening which completely sun rounds the opening througlrwhich thecolor delivered, while in the second mentioned patent, namely, No. 910,341, the air-is delivered through a single orifice, located heneath that through which the coloring met- The air brushes of tooth of said patents tend to discharge the coloring matter in a. somewhat irregular manner, so that it is not delivered onto the paper in the form of a thin, ilat line, as is the case when tlsing a fine hair brush of ordinary form.

The main object of the present invention is to provide an air crush which will deliver the color in the form of a spray, resembling as much as possible the eii'ect which is produced in drawing a line with a fine hair brush. To this end, i provide means for delivering a fine jet of air on each side of the color orifice, the result being that the color is delivered in the form of a very fine flat jet.

Other objects are to generally improve the discharge end of the air brush, and to construct it in such manner that the air rhanr her and discharge pipes will be easily accessible for the purposes of cleaning or pair without; in any way disturbing the needle valve and associated parts which control the flow of color. Also to provide an air discharge member of such form thatit may be easily removed and replaced hyone having larger openings, and adapted to de-' liver larger jetsot air for rougher or heavier work.

'Other object-s and uses will appear from a detailed descriptionof the invention which consists in the features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring now to the drawing, Figure 1. shows a plan view of the orush; Fig. 9. shows a detailed cross section of the forward por tion of the brush taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows Fig. 3shows a plan detail taken on the line 3-3 of 2, looking in the direction of the arrows; Fig. 4 shows a detail of the color receptacle taken onv the line M of Fig-'3 looking in the direction of the arrows; and Fig. 5 shows a greatly enlarged plan detail cross section of the discharge tip of the air pines and the needle valve. Referring now to the drawings, the air is delivered to the air rush through a valve 5, the opening and closing of which are controlled hy the vertical movements of a. button '1'. A spring 8 normally keeps the valve closed. The air passes up through passages 9 and 10 into a chamber 11 in the forward end of the brush. The color is-carried in a panlQ, the siphon connection 13 of whichv is swivel-jointed to the body of the air brush at 14- the color thence passing into a.

chamber A needle rod 16 extends 1 through th color chamber 15, its backward and forwa d movements being controlled by" T he elements which l have thus far described are not new'in this'present application, and their description is only neces sary in order to show the general manner in which strucled. i will now describe the forward portion of the hrushincluding the needle valve for roiiti'olling the flow of color and the air discharge pipes, for my present invention relates particularly to these elements.

Thechaniber l5 communicates directly with an elongated opening, 18, the forward end of which carries-a fine needle valve '19, the same being preferably secured at .20 onto the end of the pipe 21, which,
