DAUBER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 2, 1913.

Application filed May 5, 1913. Serial No. 765,509.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID WV. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Wyandotte and State of Kansas, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Daubers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in daubers.

It is adapted to the storing and delivery of oils, mucilage, and other fluids.

The object of my invention is to provide a dauber which is eflicient in operation, simple in construction, and which is not liable to get out of order.

The novel features of my invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the preferred embodiment of my invention Figure 1 is a side view, partly in elevation and partly broken away. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view on the line ab of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 0cl of Fig. 2.

Similar reference characters designate similar parts in the different views.

1 designates the container, within which the fluid is stored, and which, preferably, has a conical upper portion 2. The container is provided with an inner chamber 3, located within an outer chamber 4, and comprising preferably a vertical tube 5, disposed centrally in the container and having its lower end 6 closed and provided with a vent 7, the function of which will be hereinafter explained. The upper end of the tube 5 is secured within the upper end of the container 1, and has an open upper end which serves as a delivery opening in which is slidably mounted a vertical tube 8, constituting a tubular valve, provided with one or more discharge openings 9, which, when the valve is in the closed position, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, are located outside of the container, and when the valve is in the open position, are adapted to communicate or register with inlet openings 10, located in the side of the tube 5, adjacent to the upper end thereof and adjacent to the upper end of the conical portion 2. A coil spring 11, which rests upon the bottom portion (3 of the tube 5, normally holds the valve 8 in the closed position. Covering the conical portion 2 and supported by the valve 8, is wickmeans of a cord 1.4.

ing 12, which is detachably secured to the container 1, in any suitable manner. In the drawing I have shown the container below the conical portion 2, as having an annular depression 13, in which the wicking 12 is held in any suitable manner, as by The bottom of the container 1 may be provided with a filling opening which is normally closed by a detachable closure 15.

In operating the invention, fluid having been placed within the outer chamber 4, and the parts assembled as described, the container is inverted and the upper end of the wick applied with pressure against the article upon which the liquid is to be discharged. Pressure sufficient is employed to cause the valve 8 to be forced inwardly until the openings 9 are opposite the openings 10. The liquid will then run by gravity from the chamber 4, through the openings 10 and 9, into the valve 8. After a quantity of oil has entered the valve 8, the pressure is removed so that the spring 11 may force the valve 8 to the closed position shown in Fig. 2. The liquid will now pass out of the valve 8, through its outer end and through the openings 9, the oil thus discharged being absorbed by the wicking 12. The wicking may then be rubbed over the surface to which the liquid is to be applied. After the desired amount of liquid has been applied, the container is restored to its upright position, shown in Fig. 1. The oil contained in the valve 8, if any still remains, will now pass downwardly into the lower part of the tube 5, from which it will escape into the outer chamber 4, through the vent 7. The vent 7 serves further to permit air to enter and to escape from the tube 5.

I do not limit my invention to the structure shown and described, as modifications thereof, within the scope of the appended claims, may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a dauber, a container provided with two chambers one having a delivery opening and an inlet opening connnunicating with the other chamber, a valve extending through and slidable in said delivery opening, yielding means for normally holding said valve in the closed position, said valve 2. In a dauber, a container provided with.

two chambers, one having a delivery opening and an inlet opening communicating with the other chamber, a tubular valve projecting through and slidable in said delivery opening for closing said communicating opening, yielding means for normally holding said valves in the closed position, and wicking covering said delivery opening and in contact with said valve.

3. In a dauber, a container provided with two chambers one having a delivery opening and an inlet opening communicating with the other chamber, a tubular valve projecting through and slidable in said delivery opening and provided with a lateral discharge opening Which, when the valve is in the open'position, registers with said communicating opening, and when the valve is in the closed position, is outside of said container, and wicking covering said delivery opening and in contact with said valve.

4. In a dauber, a container having a conical upper end provided with a delivery opening, a tubular valve projecting through and slidable in said delivery opening and provided with a discharge opening disposed normally outside of said container and adapted, when the valve is moved inwardly, to communicate with the interior of the container, and wicking covering said delivery opening and in contact with said valve.

5. In a dauber, a container having a de livery opening, a tubular valve projecting through and slidable in said delivery opening and provided with a discharge opening disposed normally outside of said container and adapted, when the valve is moved inwardly to a predetermined position, to communicate with the interior of said container, yielding means for normally holding the valve in the outer position, and wicking covering said delivery openingand in contact with said valve.

6. In a dauber, a container having two chambers, one within the other, the inner one having at its upper end a deliveryopening, a vent adjacent to its lower end, and an opening adjacent to its upper end which communicates withthe other chamber ad-- jacent to its upper end, a tubular valve projecting through and slidable in said delivery opening for controlling said communicating opening, and wicking covering said delivery opening and in contact with said valve.

' '7. In a dauber, a container having two chambers, one disposed within the other and provided at its upper end with a delivery opening and having a vent adjacent to its lower end, and an inlet openingcommunieating with the other chamber adjacent to its upper end, a tubular valve projecting through and slidable in said deliveryopening and provided with a discharge opening located outside of the container when the valve is in the closed position, and registering with the inlet opening when the valve is in the open position, yielding means for normally holding the valve in the closed position, and wicking covering said delivery opening and in contact with said valve.

8. In a dauber, a container having a conica-l upper end and provided interiorly with a central, vertical tube having a closed lower end provided with a vent and having an open, upper delivery end and a lateral inlet DAVID W. SMITH.
