CHARLES C. LESIAK, OF FULLERTON, NEBItASKA.4
PAINTBRUSH.
Application filed. May 3, 1928. Serial No. 274,923.
This invention relates to paint brushes and itis an object of the invention to provide a device ofthis kind with means to effectively collect paint or other fluid which would otherwise have a tendency to flow lover or down the brush handle. j
Another object ofthe invention is to provide a paint brush with means to collect paint or other fluid which may drip from vthe bristles when the brush is in use, said means allowing the collected fluid to readily return to a pail or other container when the brush is being dipped or allow such collected paint or the like to flow back to the bristles fr of the brush.
The invention consists in the details of construction and inthe combination and arrangement of the several parts of myV improved paint brush whereby certain important advantages are attained and the' device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
if The novel features kof my invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.
In order that my inventionmay be the better understood,y I will now proceed to describe the same with reference` to the accompanying drawing, wherein f Figure l is a fragmentary view in side elevation illustrating a paint brush constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention;
Figure 2 is a view in edge elevation of the structure 'as illustrated in Figure 1 with a portion in section; j
Figure 3 is a view in top plan vof the structure as illustrated in Figure l.
As disclosed in the accompanying drawing7 1 denotes abrush head provided with a conventional handle 2, said head having associated therewith in a well known mane ner the bristles 3, said bristles 3 being held l5 to the head 1 through the mediumjof the metallic ferrule 4.r
Associated with the Jferrule 4 is the drip catcher D including a sleeve end portion 5 `snugly surrounding the ferrule 4 and preferably soldered thereto although saidfsleeve 5 maybe fixed to the 'er'rule-4 in any manner preferred. f
The opposite end portion of the sleeve 5 is provided with an outstanding bead 6 substahtially Cshaped in cross section with the major diameter of such cross sectionalconfiguration disposed in a direction lengthwise of the handle 2.
Y This bead 6 provides a'trough 7 the major portion of the inner face 8 of which bey6o lng open andthe inwardly disposed freev marginal portion of the bead 6 is slightly spaced from the-adjacent portion of the ferrule 4 so that paint or other liquid dripping or running kfrom the bristles .3 may readilyc5 enter and be collected within vthe trough 7.
It is to be noted vthat the free marginal portion of the bead 6 is disposed inwardly and that the cross sectional configuration of said bead is such as to have the portion of the bead immediately adjacent to t-he ferrule 4 disposed inwardly of the sleeve portion 5 of the catcher` D.
At a desired point thereon the free marginal portion of the bead 6 is provided with 75` a notch or recess 9 extending inwardly a material distance of the free portion of the bead and providing means to obtain an effective draining or the trough 7 when desired. D is yapplied to the ferrule 4 inl aV manner whereby the portion of the bead 6 adjacent to the bristles 3 is spaced inwardly of the adjacent orouter margin of the ferrule 4 so the bristles 3 can be kept clean when the 85 brush is not in use'. l
The paint or other fluid dripping orrunning from the bristles isv readily caught within the trough 7, the construction and configuration ot'which being such whereby 9b such collected paint or other fluid cannot be n readily spilled out as the bristles are turned downwardly.
rlhespace l0 between the ferrule 4 and the inwardly disposed free vmarginal portion yot the bead 6 during a working operation will allow some vofthe paint or other fluid collected' within the trough 7to flow back on the bristles 3 and, as before stated,
the paint or the like within the trough 7 is 160 adapted to be drained out through the rev cess or opening 9. The paint or the like collected withinl the trough 7 will Vnot readily spill therefrom irrespective of the various' j positions assumed by thebrush proper as the Vbrush when swung into substantially a horizontal position the paint orfthe like within the upper' portion of' the trough will have a 'tendency to flow to the bottom portion of the j trough, such portion of the'paint Vor other 11o Y,
lt is also to be noted that the device so i fluid which may pass out through the space l0 will be ireceived upon the bristles 3.
In dipping the brush into a pail or other container the trouv'h 7 ma Y be readil drained out by giving a slight tip to the brush in a direction to lower the recess or opening 9 so that the paint or other fluid within the trough will readily pass out therethrough.
With the use oi the drip catcher I) a substantiallyl clean job of painting can be done.
Soldered or otherwise secured at a desired point to the bead 6 a hook 11 adapted to be engaged over the upper marginal portion of a pail or other receptacle to prevent the brush from dropping down into the paint or kindred fluid.
From the .foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a paint brush constructed in aeeordance with my invention is particularly Well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious that my invenies/ieee tion is susceptible of some change and 1nodi iication without departingfrom the prin` ciples and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not Wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.
I claim The combination with a paint brush head having a ierrule litted thereabout, of Aa drip receptacle of substantiallyC-shaped crosssectional design surrounding said ferrule with the open face directed toward the saine, and a sleeve depending from the lower edge ot the receptacle and snugly engaging about the fel-rule, the top edge of the receptacle being directed downwardly toward and spaced slightly from the ferrule, said receptacle having a recess cut down through the` top to form a drain opening.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aiix my si gnature.
