5 to use ladders and scaffolds in the operation;

the provide a device by means of which time in the paper hanging operation may be saved, since the several tools employed in the various operations are combined in one applilO ance; and to provide a device of this character which is of simple construction and therefore susceptible of cheap manufacture and low marketing cost.

With this object in view the invention con- 1 sists in a construction and combination of parts of which a preferred embodiment is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of the in- 20 vention. Figure 2 is a sectional view on the plane indicated by the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figures 3 and 4 are sectional vie'wsjon the planes indicated by lines 33 and 4-4, re-

spectively, of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a top plan view of the grip bar.

Figure 6'is a detail elevational view of a portion of the handle, illustrating the latching means for the grip bar plunger.

Figure 7 is a sectional view on the plane indicated by the line 77 of Figure 6.

' Figure 8 is a sectional view on the plane indicated by the line 88 of Figure 2.

Figure 9 is an enlarged elevational view of one of the grip bar pins.

The handle 10 by means of which the device is actuated and on which are supported the various elements constituting the complete device is of tubular form, the brush support ing head 11 being carried at the upper end of the handle and comprising in addition to the ferrule into which the handle telescopes. a

pair of spaced parallel brush grippers 14. The grippers 14 are formed preferably from fleet spring steel so as to frictionally engage and therefore securely hold the backs of the brushes 15. This construction provides for the ready removal and replacement of the brushes by the withdrawal of the backs therefrom and the insertion of the same therein.

Serial No. 316,015.

. The grip bar 16 is disposed between the two brushes and in parallel therewith, being normally impelled upwardly by compression springs 17 disposed on opposite sides of the handle and having their endsbearing respectively upon the head 11 andthe bar. The bar 16 is'carried by a plunger 18 slidably mounted in the handle and provided adjacent the lower extremity of the latter with a pin 19 traversing a bayonet slot in the handle. Since the springs tend normally to keep the grip bar 16 adjacent the plane of the ends of the brush bristles, the bayonet slot and pin serve as a means for latching the grip bar in retracted position adjacent the head 11, where it will be out of position to interfere with the operation of the bristles.

The grip bar on the upper face is provided with a series of spaced pins 21, the free ends of the pins being rounded as indicated at 22 to eliminate sharp corners and prevent tearing of the paper being hung. The purpose of the grip bar is to provide'a member for gripping so that the sheet may be slid laterally, if necessary, to effect the proper juncture at the seam with the previously hung sheet. The grip bar when so used, is elevated by the springs to approximately the plane of the brush bristles, where the pins may readily engage the sheet and effect suflicient adherence thereto to permit the sheet being slid slightly without danger of tearing, the rounded corners 22 of the pins preventing the latter from digging into the sheet.

A rest roll 23 is disposed parallel to the brushes, being rotatably supported in the yoke 24 carriedby bracket clamp 25 which surrounds the handle, an adjusting bolt 26 and attendant wing-nut 27 serving to bind the clamp on the handle as well as to secure the yoke to the former. Obviously the rest roll may be moved toward or away from the brush head by loosening the yoke and positioning the roll as desired, the roll being raised or lowered on thehandle by the shifting of the bracket clamp to the desired position on the latter when the nut 27 is loose.

In the use of the invention, the paste is applied to the sheet or strip of paper to be hung and the latter placed over the brushes and across the rest roll 23 with the face downward. It may then be applied to the wall or ceiling by placing the strip or sheet against the wall surface with a sufficient pressure to secure adherence at one point, when the movement of the brushes by means of the handle along .the sheet will effect its complete placement, as with the ordinary hand brush.

When the grip bar is not used to eifect slight side movement of the sheet in the smoothing out operation, it is retracted and retained in retracted position by latch pin 19. The rest roll 23 serves to support the unattached portion of the sheet in applying the same.

The invention having'been described what is claimed asnew and useful ,is':

1. A device of'the kind indicated comprising a handle, a brush supporting head carried at one extremity of the handle, and a grip bar disposed adjacent the brush supporting head, the grip bar being movabletoward and awayfrom the brush supporting head.

2. A device of the kind indicated comprising-a ihandle, a brush supporting head carried atone extremity of the handle, and a grip'bar disposed adjacent the brush supporting head, the grip bar being movable toward and away from the brush supporting head, and a pair of brushes carried by the brush supporting head and disposed in parallelism on opposite sides of the grip bar.

3. A device of the kind indicatedcomprising a :handle, a brush supporting head carried at one extremity of the handle, and a grip bar disposed adjacent the brush supporting head, thegrip-bar bcing movable toward and away from the brush supporting head, the grip bar on its upper face being provided "with a series of uniformly spaced pins.

4. A device of the kind indicated comprising a handle, a brush supporting head carried at one extremity of the handle, and a grip bar disposed adjacent the brush supportin head, the grip bar being movable towart and away from the brush supporting head, the handle being of tubular form and the gripbar having aplunger slidably mounted in the handle and compression springs disposed between it and the head.

5. A device of the kind indicated comprising a handle, a brush supporting head at the upper end of the handle, and a rest roll carried by the handle and adjustable longitudinally thereof and laterally toward and away from the brush carrying head.

6. A device of the kind indicated comprising a handle, a brush supporting head at the upper end of the handle, and a rest roll, a yoke in the extremities of the arms of which the rest roll is journaled, a bracket clamp engaging the handle and the yoke, and a clamp screw carried by said bracket and also engaging the yoke, the latter being swingable toward and away from the handle when nature.
