Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 27, 1914.

Application filed D cember 21, 1912. sema no. 737,997..

To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that we, CARLOS O. Pn'rnoon and ALEXANDER BURNELL, citizens of the United States, residing at Schroon Lake, in the county of Essex and State of New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Painting Apparatus; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear,

ratus but more particularly to a self feeding painting device so constructed and arranged that the paint isautomatically fed to the brush. 3

In the painting of buildings, iron structures and the like where the painteris required to climb ladders and work fromscaffolds and the like it is at all times inconvenient to transport the receptacles containing the paint from place to place, and by reason of the unstable supporting structures a great quantity of paint is wasted while very serious accidents also occur by reason of the fact that the painter in moving from place to place is hampered by his paint receptacle in such manner that he does not have the free use of his hands.

This invention therefore has for its object to provide an apparatus which is particularly adapted to the use of painters working on buildings, structures and the like in such manner that the paint can be safely trans ported while at the same time the painter is not hampered thereby.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel construction of a painting apparatus and particularly in the novel construction of the brush and in the receptacle for holding the paint.

The invention further consists in certain other novel details of construction and in combinations of parts, all of which will be first fully described and afterward specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

Referring to theaccompanying drawing: Figure 1 is an elevation of a painting apparatus constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a top planview of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View throughthe receptacle. Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view through the brush.

Like numerals. of reference indicate the same parts throughout the several figuresin which: i r

1 indicates the paintingapparatus com! prising the receptacle 2,.which receptacle 2 may be partitioned at 3 to provide several compartments 4;.

5 indicates the filler tops arranged on the. top of the receptacle 2, a separate filler top bemgprovided for each compartment.

Communicating and connected to the top of the receptacle 2 is an air fed pipe 6 hav ing a connection 7 leading to each of the compartments 4:, and connected to the air fed pipe 6 is the flexible air chamber 8,. an air pump 9 being also connected to the flexible air chamber 8 at one end thereof.

Suitably connected to the receptacle 2 is a harness 10 for securing the device tot-he shoulders of the painter in such manner that the receptacle 2 1s carried in a manner simi- .lar to a knapsack, a belt ll, passing around the waist of the painter to which belt a brush-can 12 is suspended in such manner that the brush 13 can be inserted into the.

can 12 when not in use.

Arranged at the bottom of each of the compartments 1 is a stop-cock 1 1 to which stop-cock a flexible tubing 15 is connected, said tubing 15 from each cock 14: leading to the brush 18 in a manner as shown in F ig. 1, it being mmecessary for the purpose of illustrating this invention to show a separate brush connected to each compartment.

The brush 13 is provided with a handle 16 i conforms to the position and flexibility of Having thus fully described the invention its operation is as follows: By reason of the separate compartments arranged in the re ceptacle 2, different colors of paint can be used as is of course apparent, a separate brush being connected to each of the several compartments. Upon operation of the air pump 9 the flexible or inflatableair chamber 8 receives the air from the pump, the said chamber 8 being inflated in the manner as illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and the air from the chamber 8 enters the compartments e in the receptacle 2 thus putting the paint therein under pressure. When it is desired to use the device one of the stop-cocks l l on any one of the compartments 4 is turned in open position which. causes the paint under pressure in that compartment to pass into the flexible tube 15 and into the brush 13 in the manner as will be perfectly apparent from an inspection of the accompanying drawin As great or small a quantity of paint can be used as is desired by simply turning the stopcock 14: so as to allow a full or a partial opening therein. As is of course entirely obvious a painter is in constant motion and the receptacle being arranged on his shoulders the paint in the compartments is at all times kept in a state of agitation in such manner as to keep the same in a thoroughly mixed condition.

Having thus fully described the invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is An apparatus of the type described including a paint-containing receptacle, an airinfiating member having tubular connection therewith, said paint-containing receptacle being equipped with a brush'having a tubular handle, said brush having centrally arranged and slidable therein a flexible bulblike hollow member provided with paintfeeding apertures, said hollow bulb-like member being carried by atubular member slidable Within said tubular handle, and a flexible tubular connection between said paint-containing receptacle and said bulblike member carry lng tubular member.

In testimony whereof, we afiix our signatures, in presence of two witnesses.
