C. DIETRICHS PAINT BRUSH HOLDER Filed Aug. 22, 1931 INVENTOR CHARLES DIETRICHS HIS ATTORNEY5 Patented Dec. 5, 1933 nites STATES PATENT @FFEQE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to paint brush holders. Paint brushes, such for example as those used in house painting, or for painting cabinet work, articles of furniture, etc., have tapering bristles which terminate in a sharp or chisel edge. The purpose of giving this form to the brush is to make it easy to reach corners or other somewhat inaccessible places, and to paint narrow moldings, etc., with a relatively wide brush which will give rapid coverage when painting flat surfaces. It is important that the chisel edge and tapering form of the brush be preserved in order to maintain the brushs efficiency and utility. This is a dif ficult thing to do either when a brush is used frequently or infrequently, since the brush is very apt to be allowed to stand resting on its ristles when not in use, and the weight of the brush quickly forces the bristles out of shape so that the original form of the brush is destroyed.
In so far as I am aware, all of the devices heretofore made for protecting brushes have had a serious drawback in that it was necessary to apply the device to the brush each time it was desired to store away the brush. It is of the utmost importance in a device of this sort that it be possible to place the brush in it easily and quickly without having to manipulate any mechanism whatever.
It is the object of my invention to provide a brush holder which will efiectively preserve the original shape of the brush indefinitely.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such a brush holder which is sufficiently easy to use that its use will be assured.
A still further object of the invention is to provide such a device in a form in which it can be manufactured at such a low cost that it will have a ready sale.
My present invention will be understood by referring to the accompanying drawing in which there is illustrated by way of example the preferred embodiment of the invention.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the brush holder as a whole, and
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken vertically through the brush holder.
The improved brush holder comprises a receptacle open at the top for the introduction of the brush 1. The receptacle has converging front and rear walls 2 and 3 respectively and parallel side walls l and 5. The side walls 2 and 3 are tapered to conform to the shape of the brush bristles 4 so that when the brush is placed in the holder the inner surfaces of the walls 2 and 3 contact with the bristles for a substantial area, thus giving support to the sides of the bristles and forming a mold for retaining them in their original shape. Because of the large area of contact with the sides of the bristles, the weight of the brush may rest upon the bristles without forcing them out of shape. Preferably, however, a bracket 6 is clipped over the upper edge of front wall 2 and provided with an upstanding lip 7 which engages beneath the edge of the binding 8 of the brush. This bracket affords not only an additional support for carrying a portion of the weight of the brush thereby taking it off from the bristles, but it also spaces the brush away from the front wall and maintains it in a central position so that the two sides of the receptacle 2 and 3 exert a symmetrical molding action upon the brush bristles 4. The rear wall 4 of the receptacle is provided with an extension 9 above the edge of front wall 2 in which apertures 10 are placed by means of which the brush holder. may be secured to the wall or any convenient support. The triangular side walls 4 and 5 are preferably spaced apart somewhat wider than the width of the brush so that it may be readily inserted and removed.
Such a brush holder is extremely convenient to use, because it is only necessary to insert the brush into it. In fact it invites use rather than dis-use, because it is just as easy to place the brush in the brush holder as it is to leave it standing in the paint pail, and there is, of course, the additional incentive that the user knows that the shape of his brush will be nicely preserved so that it will be just as usable when he again removes it from the brush holder as it was when he placed it there.
It will be understood that a suitable liquid 12, such for example as water, turpentine, paint, oil, etc. is placed in the receptacle to about the level indicated in Fig. 2. When water or other liquid which vaporizes at ordinary temperatures is used, it is desirable to place a layer of non-volatile liquid, such for example as oil, on its surface to prevent evaporation.
The improved brush holder can be manufactured very readily and cheaply inasmuch as it can be conveniently made from'a single stamp of sheet metal, such for example as galvanized or tinned iron, copper, zinc, etc. If the sheet is stamped out it is only necessary to turn up the seam portions 11 along the side margins of the rear wall 3, bend up the side walls 4 and 5 from the margins of the front wall 2, and then fold the sheet so as to form the sharp corner at the receive a brush the bristles of which lie in the r same plane as the handle, said brush having a band around the base of the bristles, said walls being rigid and adapted to contact with the sides of the bristles and form a mold for preserving the shape thereof, and a hook-shaped member projecting inwardly from the outer wall of said receptacle adapted to engage the band of the brush and maintain the brush handle centrally positioned with respect to said Walls whereby the brush bristles will be molded symmetrically by said walls, the weight of said brush being carried partly by the coaction of the bristles with said walls and partly by said hook-shaped member. CHARLES DIETRICHS.
