' PAINT-BRUSH PROTECTOR.

Specioation of Lettera Patent.

)Patented Sept.. it, 11931 t.

Application tiled October 3, 1916. aerial We. ltt' To all whom it may concern.' .Be it known that I, HARRY SAMIUE TlmovKMonToN, a citizen of the United v States, residing at Muskogee, in the county of Muskogee and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain useful Improvements in Paint-Brush Protectors, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

' This invention relates to improvements in paint brush protectors, one object of the invention being the provision of a device which will maintain the brush in good condltlon throughout its life, both in the original shipping thereof and in the use thereot` I .by the painter. a

A further object of this invention -is the provision of a protector or holder for paint brushes, which will incase the bristle portion thereof and support the same within the holder so that the bristles will be innintained in an even package without being twisted or crowded, and therefore unfit for use.

A still further object of this invention is the provision of a holder of this character which is simple, durable and inexpensive, and which can be brush as sold.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the holder in use, the door thereof being closed.

Fig. 2 is a similar view showing thedoor open. f

`titi given away with .each

assume the position as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the holder Ain Fig. 1 being adapted to receivea round er oval brush, while that shown in Fig. 3 is adapted to receive a sign painter-s brush.

The cover 15 is of a similar shape to thc main body portion of the member 6, .except that it only carries the sectionalv cover or top 16 with the projection 17 and. 'pin'lS which is adapted to be inserted in the opening 19 of the brush handle 12 to thus support the brush with the lower end of the bristles above the bottom 7' when' the door is closed, as shown in Fig. 2. t

y A catch 2O is carried bythe door for engagement with the projection 21 carried by the member 6. In order that the holder may be suspended from a nail or otherwise, a suspending hook 22 is carried by the member 6. Both the members Gand 15 are `perforated so'that air may be circulated therethrough when the brush is new, but when the brush has been iised, oil is admitted through such perforatlons tothe brush, for a painter when finished for the day, or a job, will clean the brush and then place in the `holder, which with the brush is deposited in a trough containing oil or benzln, or even water, which prevents the air from hardeningV the brush.

In a device ofthe class described, in lcombination, a box-like member, a box-like coveringl hingedly connected to said member and adapted to have its edges contact the edges of said member, the top portions of said Jmemberv and said cover being formed with recesses forming a brush-receiving opening when the cover 1s closed against .said member, an arm projecting upwardly from the back wall of said cover, said arm. having an opening, and a pm secured 1n the opening of said arm and adapted to project to over the top portions of said member and said cover,-so as to form a brush support. in testimony whereof I atiix my signature. i HARRY SAMUEL TMOCKMORTON.
