Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 23, 1915.
Application led July 14, 1915. Serial No. 39,837.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that l, CLAUDE R. DAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Arthur, in the county of Grant and State of `West Virginia, have invented a new and'useful Drip-Cup for Paint-Brushes; and I do hereby declare thev following to\be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to an improved drip cup for paint brushes and the like.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple and eflicient device of this nature which Ais applicable to any construction or design of paint brush, and adapted to fit the same detachably, and in such wise as to prevent leaking of the drippings.
One ofthe features of the invention is to provide a drip cup comprising two members, one telescoping the other and fitting the paint brush, said members having interlockl,ing means to hold them in place.
Another feature of the invention is to proy, vide the lower edge portion of said members with a right angled extending flange extending toward the .ferrule of the brush, and on which flanges strips of felt or other suitable materials are secured in any suitable manner, the strips of felt being a little wider than the flanges, so as to bear tight against the ferrule, and to allow for the varying thicknesses of brushes, and also to permit the felt to accommodate itself to the unevennesses of the ferrule.
Another feature of the invention is to provide the free ends of the sides of one of the members with angular flanges,` to keep said free ends, especially adjacent the upper edge of the cup, spaced apart from the ferrule of the brush.
Another feature of the invention is that the cup may be constructed in different shapes and sizes, in order to fit diHerent shapes'and sizes of brushes.
Another object of the invention is to fasten the drip cup permanently to a brush by sprigs or the like, in which case the flange at the bottom of the cup is dispensed with, and a strip of leather or the like forms the bottom, through which' the sprigs extend, and penetrate the brush, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
.n practical fields the details of construe? tion may necessitate alterations, within the scope of what is claimed.
The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed. In the drawings: Fig. l is a view in perspective of a paint brush, which may or may not be provided with a ferrule, and which may be flat or any other suitable shape, and showing the improved drip cup as applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a sectional view. on line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 illustrates collective views of the two sections or members of the drip cup. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view showing the sections or members of the drip cup secured by sprigs or the like to the brush, in which case the flanges at the bottoms of said members are dispensed with, and a strip of leather is secured between the members and the brush by the sprigs. Fig. 6 is a sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of a cylindrical drip cup as applied to a cylindrical brush. Fig. 8` is a sectional view on line 88 of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 shows a sectional view through a cylindrical brush and the cylindrical drip cup, in which case the flange at the bottom of the drip cup is dispensed with, and a strip of leather secured to the drip cup, in case it is found that the flange would destroy the resiliency of the metal of the cylindrical drip cup.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates the body of the paint brush, to which the bristles 2 may be secured in any suitable manner. The drip cup comprises two U-shaped members 5 and 6 constructed of spring sheet metal, so that the side portions 7 and 8 of both members or sections will tend to spring toward each other, so that when the sections are fitted to the brush, that is, the body thereof, said opposite side portions will automatically hold the sections in place. Thelower portions of said members or sections are provided with flanges 4, and secured to the flanges in any suitable manner are strips of felt or the like l1. rIhe strips of felt l1 are a little'wider than the flanges, so as to bear tight against the body of the brush, and allow for the varying thicknesses of the brushes, and so that the felt will accommodate itself to the Iunevennesses of the body falling o f the brush. This felt bears tight against the body, so as to prevent the leaking of the drippings from the cup. The opposite side portions of the section 5 are provided with depressions 9, any opposite two of which, receives the o posite bulges 10 of the two side portions ofP the section 6, thereby acting to hold the two sections or members securely but detachably to the brush. The freeend portions of the parts 7 and 8 of the section or member 5 are provided with right angled flangesA 9a, to engage the body of the brush, to hold the opposite side portions 7 and 8 spaced apart from the body. In arranging the drip cup on the brush, the sections arch thebody of the brush transversely, so that one section or member telescopes the other section or member, the flanges 4 being held out of Contact with the body by virtue of the felt strips.
In Figs. 5 and 6 the flanges 4 are dispensed with, and a leather strip 11b is secured between the members 5 and 6 and the body of the brush by means of the sprigs or the like 18, the leather strip acting to prevent leakage of the drippings.
In Figs. 7 and 8 the drip cu is constructed in the form of an annu ar band,
. the lower edge portion of Whichis provided With a flange 16, on which a strip of felt or the like is arranged. In this instance, the strplof felt 11a is wider than the flange, so as to bear against the body of the brush and accommodate itself to the unevennesses of the body. One end of the band 13 of the cup shown in Figs. 5 and 8 has a right angled flange 17 which holds the band of the cup spaced apart from the body of the brush.
Fig. 9 shows a cylindrical brush and a cylindrical drip cup, and the flange 16 dispensed with, in which case a leather strip 11b is secured to the band 13 of the cup in any suitable manner.
In Figs. 7, 8 and 9 the band 13 of the cup is shown as overlapping as shown at 14, which overlapping ends are secured together by the interlocking lugs and depressions 15, similar to those at 9 and 10 in Fig. 4.
The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is:-
1. In combination with a paint brush, a drip cup, said cup comprising two sections U-shaped in plan view, and designed to arch the body of the brush transversely, said sections being constructed of resilient sheet metal and having intel'cngaging elements to hold the sections in place, the opposite sides of said sections being yieldable and normally inclined toward each other to yieldably engage the body, the bottom ortions of the sections having flanges prov1ded with strips of liber wider than the flanges to bear against the body of the brush, the free portions of the sides of one of said U -shaped members having right angled flanges to engage the body of the brush to hold the sides spaced from the body.
2. In combination with a paint brush, a drip cup comprisin a pair of U-shaped sections constructed o spring sheet metal, said U-shaped sections having fiber bottoms to bear against the body of the brush, the sides of the U-shaped sections designed to arch the body of the brush and telescope each other and having interlocking elements to hold the sections in place, the free portions of the sides of one of said sections having right angled flanges to bear against the body to hold the sides of one of the sections spaced from the body.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of A. V'. HALTERMAN, EDITH E. DAY.
