To all whom it may concern: 1

:Beit cknown that WILLIAM R. MAXnooN,

a citizenof the United States,iresiding at Daytonpin the county of Montgomery and estate of Ohio, has invented new and useful Improvements in Containers for'Mucilage, Paste, and the like, of which the fol lowing is a specification;

My invention relates .;to containers for mucilage, pasteand the like, including the attachments to the mouth thereof.

More particularly, my invention relates to an ingeniously devised and positioned scraper, by means of which superfluous conused fortransferring and applying the same, is readily, easily; and conveniently scraped off of the'same. c

Furthermore, my invention relates to means for preventing the contents of the container from oozing outbetween the attachments to themouthflthereof, and also the means-for suspending thebrush in the container. v y v The objects ofmyv invention are: (1) to afl'ord aconvenient and inexpensive means of scraping ofi andgetting rid of the superfluous contents of containers for, mucilage, pasteandithe' like in the process oftrans- .ferring -said c ontents' by means of;a brush oozing outaand -running over the outside of thejcontainer inshipping and handling the same in Mikes and otherplace's where said contents is used in the business and social afiairsoflife'; to afford a convenient and inexpensive means for controlling the brush commonly used in containers for mucilage, paste and the like, sojas to make it stand at 'anydesired, point in the insideof said the bottom thereof; and (4 to afford a convenient and inexpensive scraper having the same-function and Qof the same kinddescribed above, andadaptedatofbe applied singly to"-;any container which is not tents of the container, adhering to the brush "container andnot fallgdown to or toward equipped with a screw lid-shaped collar and a cap at its mouth. t I There are other objects that will appear in the further description of my invention. I accomplish the aforesaid "objects by means of the mechanisms hereinafter described wherein the. reference characters of the several parts thereof apply to the same partor parts in all figures. T

Figure l is a perspective View ofthecontainer itself together with all attachments to the mouth thereof, as the same are as sembled forshipping, and, of course, for sitting on a shelf or desk of an ofiice or other place after shipment. This figure is slightly tilted from an elevation in order to show the horizontal surface of the top of the container. Figure-2 is an elevation of a cross: sectionv of Figure 1, taken on the line w w of said Figure 1. The brush, however, of Figure 2 stands in elevation. The device shown in Figure is not in this figure. Figure 3 is a perspective of the lid of said containerslightly tilted from an elevation so that the device shown in Figure 4 might be seenv through the perforation 8, the same being in position for shipping purposes.

Figure 4 is a perspective of the device which lies on the top of the member shown in Figures 5 and 6 when-prepared for shipment. Figure 5 is a perspective of a threaded'cup or lid-shaped collar adapted to screw down upon the top of said container. This figure is slightly tilted from an elevation in order to.show the aforesaid scraper before it is bent down for use. Figure 6 is a perspective of the same device shown in Figure 5, the purpose ofthe figure being to show said scraper bentdown for actualuse as aforesaid. Figure7 is aside elevation of a detached portion of Figure 6 taken on the line a a. of said figure. The object of this figure is to show said scraper in its entirety when bent down for use as aforesaid.

1 is a. ,mucilage container prepared for shipment or holding in stock. 2 is the threaded collar that screws down first of all onto the threaded neck of container 1. 3 is the hore-shoe-shaped scraper, having the calk-ends, 12 and 13 thereof, integrally 1 attached and combined with said threaded collar 2. 4 is the elliptical-shaped perforation between the said scraper on the one side and a portion ofthe collar 2 011 the other.

.5 is a disc-shaped cover that is adapted to down upon said collar 2. 7 is the top hor' izontal face of cap 6. 8 is a perforation through the central point of said cap. 9 is the contents of bottle I. 103s the ham dle, and 11 is the bristle portion of brush' 15. 14: is the opening between said scraper 3 and a portion of collar 2.

Having thus described my invention in detail and by illustrations, I will now describe it as a working mechanism.

In the factory, container 1 is first filled with whatever contents it is intended to hold. Collar 2 is then screwed down tight upon the" neck of the container. The scraper portion 3 thereof is thenbent downior use. The disc-shaped cover 5' is then laid down uponthe topoi said collar 2. Then'th-o cap or lid 6 is screwed down tight onto collar 2 and cover 5. shipped in a separate package. Said container 1* remainsin said condition until it reaches the" consumer.

When said container reaches the con sumer, the cap or lid 6- is unscrewed and removed, and the disc=shaped cover 5 is also removed. The handle portion 10 of said brush is then-run through the perforation 8, which is of a diameter adapted to c'ausesaid handle portion to fit tight enough to be readily moved in said perforation, and yet to stand at any fixed point. The handles of some of these brushes are constructed of thin sheet tin, which gives them a degree of diametrical elasticity which greatly facilitates the aforesaid manner of controlling said brush. Said brush having been thus adffusted in said perforation, said cap or lid is their screwed down tight upon said col- I'ar' 2". In that position it sits on the shelf or desk ready for use.

Then, when being put to use in the office or elsewhere, said cap or lid- 6 is unscrewed from" said collar 2,- and the brush being pusheddownward somewhat the bristle portion 11 of said brush is raked'back and forth across and uponsaid scraper 3, until all superfluous contents is removed therefrom, then said bristle portion is applied to the object upon which the contents is intended to be smeared and spread, then,- any further adjustment of the brush is easily made. The said lid and brush is then replaced to the position indicated in Figure 2,'except the bristle portion only of the brush should extend into the contents of the container. As the contents of said container is being used, said brush is moved a corresponding distance downward, thus adjusting the same so that the said bristle portion only penetrates the contents of said container. It is this way that the entire contents of said container can be easily, readily and con- The brush 14L is tied and veniently used up Without the least particle of the contents thereof ever touching the mouth of said container, the handle portion 10' of said brush, the fingers, the desk, the shelf, or anything, else, except the object upon which said contents was designed and intended who placed and spread.

It is to be noted in this connection that said cap or lid dfits so neatly down upon said collar 2, and said brush handle fits so neatly in said perforation Sas to completely overcome any evaporation of the contents 9.

It is to be noted in this connectionalso that collar 2 and cap or lid 6- when made up in" assorted sizes can be pressed or ham r'nered down upon and adjusted to almost any container and housed inthe-same manner as described aforesaid.

It is to be notedthat the special fence.-

tion of said cover 5" is to prevent the cone tents of said bottleescaping' through said perforation 8 when being handled in loading, shipping and in unloading, and lying in storage as well. The opening 4'- is constructed as long and wide/- as possible in i order to give the widest scope possible to the movement of the bristle said brush. p

Having thus described my invention in portion 11' of detail, by illustration and as a working mechanism 1-.1Ina container for muoilage, paste and the like, a threaded, lid-shaped collar adapted to encircle and to screwed driven down uponthe mouth thereof, said collar having" an Mal -ended, elliptica shaped per fomtion throughthe' top t ereof, the margin of said top at one end of said perforation being slit away fromthe balance of'themar'- gin at that end, said slit-away portion of said margin having the general shape of a horse shoe, the ends thereof correspondingto the ca lks of said shoe being integrally attachedto and combinedwith the balance of said margin, said slit-away portion of said mar in being adapted to be bent down vertically to any desired pointrfo'r the-uses and purposes set forth in the specification.

2. In a container for'mueil'a'ge; paste and dislike, a cap or lid-shaped collar adapted to encircle the mouth thereoflthetop of said collar having a, perforationthere through, a portion of the margin of thelia la'nce of said top being slit awe-y from the balance" thereof, the slibaway portion of said margin at the ends thereof being integrally attached to and combined with the balance of said margin, said slitaway portion being adapted to'be bent down vertically to any desired point for the uses and urposes set forth in down upon the mouth thereof, said collar having an oval-ended, elliptical-shaped perforation through the top thereof, the margin of the balance of said top at one end of said perforation being slit away from the balance of the margin at that end, said slit-away portion of said margin havin the general shape of a horse shoe, the ends t ereof corresponding to the calks of said shoe being integrally attached to and combined with the balance of said mar in, said slit-away portion of said margin eing adapted to be bent down vertically to any desired point for-the uses and purposes set forth in the specification, in combmation with a threaded cap or lid having a perforation centrally located through the top thereof and a brush, said brush having the bristle end thereof inwardly positloned and the handle thereof adjusted in said perforation which is adapted to permit said handle to frictionally slide therethrough and to suspend said brush at any desired point. a

4. In a container for mucilage, paste and the like, a cap or lid-shaped collar adapted to encircle the mouth thereof, the top of said collar having a perforation therethrough, a vportion of the margin of the balance of said top being slit away from the balance thereof, the slit-away portion of said margin at the ends thereof being integrally attached to and combined with the balance of said margin, said slit-away portion being adapted to be bent down vertically to any desired point for the uses and purposes set forth in the specification, in combination with a lid having a perforation centrally located through the top thereof and a brush, said brush having the bristle end thereof inwardly positioned and the handle thereof adjusted in said perforation which is adapted to permit said handle to frictionally slide therethrough and to suspend said brush at any desired point.

5.In a container for Inucilage, paste and the like, a threaded, lid-shaped collar adapted to encircle and to be screwed down upon the mouth thereof, said collar having a perforation through the top thereof, a portion of the margin of said perforation belng slit away from the balance thereof, the slit-away portion of said margin at the ends thereof being integrally attached to and combined with the balance of said margin, said slitaway portion being adapted to be bent down vertically to any desired point for the uses and purposes set forth in the specification. 1n combination with a disc-shaped cover posh tioned upon said collar and a threaded cap or lid having a perforation centrally located through the top thereof and being adapted to be screwed down tight upon said cover and said collar. 7

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
