vide a container for paint, varnish, and
other brushes which, when housing the brush, is adapted to be immersed in a preserving liquid to maintain the brush bristles in a moist condition.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the class described into which the brush may be introduced and in which it is held without distortion of the bristles. In fact the invention contemplates the provision of a container of this class so constructed that the bristlesof the brush housed therein will be held compactly and yet be kept moist for the purpose above set forth and as will be presently described.
4 In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the container in open position and showing a paint brush laid therein; Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the container closed; Fig. 3 is an edge view of a fragment of the container, and Fig. 4: is a plan view illustrating a container of a shape difi'erent from that shown in Fig; 1.
The brush container embodying the present invention comprises two counterpart sections each of which comprises a side 1 which is of such contour as to substantially fit one side of the brush to be housed within the container, the structure shown in Fig. 1 being adapted for the reception of a flat brush, and the structure shown in Fig. 4: being adapted to receive a. round brush. In either embodiment of the invention, the sides 1 are provided, each with a marginal flange 2 which defines the outline of the brush to be housed. In any event, each half or section of the casing conforms to the outline of the brush so that the handle of the brush is received within a handle portion 3 which is contracted as at 4: at its junction with to receive the head and the bristles of the brush, this latter portion of the container being indicated by the numeral 5. While, in actual practice, the container will not be so proportioned as to fit only one size of brush, it will be understood that within ordinary and reasonable limits a container of a given size will be adapted to contain a brush of relatively the size for which it is designed and that, inasmuch as the handles of paint brushes are nearly of uniform size regardless of the size of the head of the brush, and practically all handles are narrower near the head of the brush than at the grip, a container of a suitable size will so receive and hold a brush as to maintain the bristles of the head in their proper position and hold them against spreading, which must result from the brush being placed in the ordinary manner in a paint bucket. It will be understood, therefore,
that the contracted or neck portion 4: of the container serves to support the brush in" such manner that the body or bristle carrying portion thereof will hold its shape when not in actual use as it does not .rest on the bristles, theends of the latter being held spaced from the bottom wall of the container,
In order that the bristles of the brush may be immersed in a preserving liquid, the sides 1 of the casing are provided with a number of openings 6 through which the liquid may pass to the interior of the container. These openings may be formed in one or both sides of the container and are located, preferably, below the contracted portion & thereof. The openings may be of any desired size and shape and arranged in any manner best suited to equal-distribution of the liquid to the bristles of the brush.
While the sections of the container may be connected in any desired manner, they are here illustrated as hingedly connected at their flanges 2 as indicated at 7, and one flange 2 is provided with a pivoted latch 8 designed to be swung into and out of engagement with a keeper 9 upon the other flange of the container.
In both embodiments of the invention herein illustrated and described, and in fact in any embodiment thereof wherein the principles of the invention are saliently displayed, the container is of such shape as to so support the brush that the bristles thereof will assume a natural position and be subjected, when the container is immersed in a preserving liquid, to the action of said liquid through the free passage thereof through the openings in the sides of the con- .i'or supporting the brush between the sec- 'lions, and means for admitting afluid to the bristle containing portion of the said container.
2. In a brush holder, connected sections, and means within the sections for supporting the brush to be housed, one of the sections being provided with openings for the admission of fluid to the space inclosed by the said sections.
In a brush holder, a container shaped to house'the handle and the head of the brush, and having fluid inlet openings, the
handle portion of the container being shaped to support the brush with its bristle ends out of contact with the Wall of the container.
4. In a brush holder, a container comprising hingedly connected sections shaped to house the handle and the head of the brush, and having fluid inlet openings, the handle portion of the container being shaped to support the brush with its bristle ends out of contact with the wall of the container.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature,
UROSH J. BALTICH.
