Description

G. T. SMALLWOOD ET AL RECEPTACLE CLOSURE 7 Filed July 28, 1927 qq ilymmw .I MU i :W
Patented Oct. 21-, 1930 UNITED STA GRAEME '1. SHALLWOOD AND HAROLD K. ACKEIR, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA RECEPTACLE CLOSURE Application filed July 28, 1927. Serial No. 208,985,
, The present invention relates to receptacle closuresand has for an object to provide a devicewhich is especially. applicable for use on paint, varnish and like cans, or buckets in order to prevent air or dirt-from entering the same and likewise maintain the brush in a pendant position in the receptacle to keep the brush properly conditioned at all times.
Another object of the invention is to provide an "air-tight cover for paint or varnish receptacles which yieldably supports a brush in the receptacle so that the bristles of thelatter are at all times immersed in the paint or varnish when the brush is not in use.
A; further object of the invention is to provide a closure of the above character which may be attached to the brush during use of the latter in overhead work to serve as a drip cup for materials falling from the work or 0 from the brush during use of the latter.
Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the present preferred form of the invention, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a closure constructed in accordance with the present invention, illustrating the application of the same on apaint receptacle and brush; and v a Figure 2 is a fragmentary top plan view of the same, showing the brush removed.
In order'to illustrate the application of this invention, a portion of a paint can 5 is 5 illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawing which may be of conventional design. In addition,
a paint or varnish brush 6 is shown in Figure 1 .of the drawings, which may likewise be of conventional design. The device of the present invention consists of a suitable closure or cover which is adapted for air-tight engagement with the receptacle and is adapted to embrace the shank of the brush and be in air-tight engagement therewith. The clov sure or cover may partake of different forms two of which are illustrated in. the present drawings. The one form of closure illustrated in Figures '1 and. 2 of the drawings consists of a cap 7 made of elastic or'a semi- 5o elastic material, the marginal edge -8 of which is enlarged to provide a reinforcing annulus which is engaged with the outer periphery of the receptacle 5 and snugly embraces the latter to prevent the entrance of air between the annulus and the receptacle. The cap is provided with an opening 9 there in through which'thehandle of the brush extends. The opening 9 in the present instance is shown to be centrally located in the cap, although if desired it can be formed eccentrically therein. The opening: is reinforced by enlarging the cap to provide a ring or band 10 around the wall of the opening, which snugly embraces the brush handle in order to prevent the entrance of air into the receptacle through the said opening. The opening 9 is relatively small, but the inherent elasticity of the band 10 permits the latter. to be flexed outwardly when the brush han-. die is forced therethrough. Moreover, the brush handleis adjustable in the band so that the bristles ma be adjusted with respect to the contents 0 the receptacle. In addition the cap is adjustable on the receptacle so that only the bristles of the brush will be immersed in the paint or'other content of the receptacle.
In addition to providing an air-tight closure for the receptacle and a means for pendantly supporting the brush in the receptacle, the device of the present invention likewise may be used as a dfip cup to catch paint or like materials in which the bristles of the brush have been immersed, especially in applying the paint or other material to overhead work.
The device of. the present invention may be manufactured at a relatively low cost and in any desired size to fit cans or buckets of conventional design. It is of importance that the device be inherently elastic, especially that portion" thereof which grips the brush, in order to provide an air-tight seal with the brush handle and to permit the brush to be held in any desired position in the receptacle. Furthermore, although we have herein described the invention as being especially adapted for use on paint and varnish receptacles, it is, of course, to be understood that the device is susceptible of many other uses which will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art. Moreover, various changes may be made in the invention especially in the details of construction, proportion and arrangement of the parts, Within the scope of the claim hereto appended.
What is'claimed is A receptacle closure for paint cans including an elastic cap engageable over the can and being relatively larger than the latter, the free margin of said cap having an enlarged reinforcing annulus adapted to snugly embrace the periphery of the can, said cap having an axial brush receiving opening therein.
