PAINT BRUSH HOLDER.
.APPLlcAnoN man wmv/24,1911.
Patented Aug'. 28, 1917,.
` mHNI-IENRY Emu N inn sinne narnia ne@ JOHN HENRY GOON, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
PAINT-BRUSH HOLDER.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paint-Brush Holders; and I do declare the 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.
My invention has for its object to provide a simply constructed and comparatively inexpensive yet highly efficient device for suspending paint brushes and the like in a liquid to prevent the bristles thereof from hardening or becomingwarped.
With the foregoing general obj ect in view, the invention resides in the novel features of construction and unique combinations of parts to be hereinafter fully described and claimed, the descriptive matter being supplemented by the accompanying drawing which constitutes a part of this specification and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved brush holder showing a number of brushes supported therein; and Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the device.
In the drawings above briefly described, the numeral 1 has reference to a preferably rectangular elongated tank having on its interior a pair of supports 2 for upholding the ends of transverse brush holding rods 3, said rods being adapted for passage through openings 4 formed at suitable points through the handles of the brushes 5. i p
It is intended that the bristles 6 of the brushes shall extend into the liquid with which the tank is filled, but that the handles of the brushes shall remain above the level of such liquid. and in order that the liquid may not rise above a predetermined level as the brushes are inserted, onevend of the tank .is provided with an overliow spout 7.
HENRY Coon, a
AFor the purpose of receiving the overflow from the tank 1, an auxiliary tank 8 is located beneath the spout 7 and is movable bodily with said tank 1 so that the entire device may be readily carried from place to place Patented Aug'. 23, 1917..
Application filed May 24, 1917. Serial No. 170,756.
-The tank 8 may be held in proper relation with the spout 7 by any preferred means, b ut a tJ-shaped bail 9 is preferably employed for this purpose, the inner wall of said tank 8 being crimped around the cross bar 10 of said bail, while the arms 11 thereof are bent laterally at their free ends to form lingers 12 which are sprung into guides 13 secured. to the adjacent end of the tank 1. Whenever required, the arms 11 may be sprung outwardly to withdraw the fingers 12 from the guides 13 whereupon the entire tank S is detached to permit the accumulated liquid therein to be returned to the tank 1 and thus the proper level of liquid may be maintained in the tank 1.
Although other types might well be used, each support 2 is preferably constructed as shown in the drawings, that is, formed of a single piece of wire bent alternately in opposite directions to form spaced seats 1lto receive therein the ends of the rods 8, the ends of said supports being bent downwardly at 15 to rest removably in vertical guides 16 carried by the ends of the tank 1.
It will thus be observed that the supports may b'e readily removed when required to permit cleaning of the sides of the tank upon which scum and the like from the brushes ,may accumulate. The centersof the supy as upon the overflow spout 7 and the detachable receptacle 8, by which means the oil or other liquid may be easily maintained at a fixed level regardless as to whether few or Vmany brushes are contained in the tank 1.
Since the best results are obtained by the use of the specific construction shown, this construction constitutes the preferred form of the device. It is to be understood, however, that within the scope of the invention as claimed, numerous changes may be made without sacrificing the principal advantage@ I attach great importance to the Jfact that the receptacle 8 is detachable. By this arrangement, after said receptacle has received the overflow from the tank 1 as the brushes are placed in the latter, the liquid may be returned from said receptacle to said tank as the brushes are removed from the latter. The fluid is thus prevented from falling below the level required, as the brushes are removed. The overflow 7 prevents the rise of the liquid beyond a predetermined level when the brushes are inserted, whereas the liquid in the tank may be replenished from the receptacle 8 whenever one or more brushes are removed.
1. A holder for paint and other brushes comprising a tank to contain a liquid, means for supportinga plurality7 oi' brushes in said tank, an overflow to prevent rising of the liquid in Vthe tank above a predetermined level as the brushes are inserted in said liquid, and an auxiliary tank movable bodily with the other and arranged to receive the overflow therefrom.
2. IA holder for paint and other brushes comprising a tank to contain a liquid, means for supporting a plurality of brushes in said tank, an overflow to prevent rising of the liquid in the tank above a predetermined level as the brushes are inserted in said liquid, and an auxiliary tank detachably connected with the other and arranged to receive the overliow therefrom.

4L. A holder for paint and other brushes comprising a tank to contain a liquid, means for supporting a plurality of brushes in said tank, an overiiow to prevent rising of the liquid in the tank above a predetermined level as the brushes are inserted in said liquid, an auxiliary tank adjacent the outer side of the first named tank and arranged to receive the overflow therefrom, spring arms extending from said Vauxiliary tank and having laterally extending fingers, and guides on said iirst named tank slidably receiving said lingers.

6. A holder for paint and other brushes comprising a tank to contain a liquid, means for supporting a plurality of brushes in said an overflow to prevent rising of the liquid in a tank above a predetermined level as the brushes are inserted in said liquid, guides on said tank on opposite sides of said overiiow, a VU-shaped bail having the upper ends of its arms bent laterally and sprung removably into said guides, and an auxiliary tank supported by the cross bar of said bail and arranged to receive the overiiow from the first named tank. i
7. A holder for paint and other brushes comprising a tank, a plurality of brush holding rods extending across the same, a paii of rod supports in the tank to support the ends or' said rods, said supports having depending fingers, and guides carried by tlioe tank and'recelving said ngers remova ly.

A
9. A holder for paint and other brushes comprising a tank, a plurality of brush holding rods extending across the same, and
a pair of elongated supports in said tank having spaced seats to receive the ends of said rods.
l0. A holder for paint and other'brushes comprising a tank, a plurality lof brush holding rods extending across the same, and a pair of supporting rods in said tank bent alternately in opposite directions to form spaced U-shaped seats to receive the ends of said brush holding rods. Y
