DISPLAY CONTAINER FOR PAINT BRUSHES AND THE LIKE Filed Nov. 27. 1931 A TTORNEY5.
Patented Dec. 5, 1933 DISPLAY CONTAINERFOR PAINT BRUSHES 'AND THE LIKE William M. Stuart, Lakewood, Ohio, assignor to The Sherwin-Williams Company, Cleveland, Ohio, a corporation of Ohio Application November 27, 193 1 SerialNo. 517,515
2 Claims. (01. 229--88) This invention relates to display containers for paint brushes and the like and to novel means for retaining the brushes in such containers.
In the merchandising of paint' brushes and 5 the like, it has heretofore beenthe practice to display the brushes to prospective purchasers without any covering for. the" bristles thereof,
with the result that the bristles were likely to become covered with dust and dirt, thereby presenting an unclean and unattractive appearance to such prospective purchasers.
It is an object of the-present invention to provide a novel display container for paint brushes and the like, which will not only lend a neat and attractive appearance to the brushes, but
will also serve to protect and maintain the bristles of the brushes in a clean condition. from the time the brushes are manufactured until they are used.
Another object of'the invention is to provide novel means for eifectively sealing the open end of the container and preventing withdrawal of the brush therefrom, which means may incidentally serve to bear printed matter for advertising purposes or the like.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, said invention, then, consists of the means hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims, the annexed drawing and the following description setting forth in detail certain mechanism embodying the invention, such disclosed means constituting, however, but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.
In said annexed drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a paint brush positioned in the novel display container, showing a device for sealing the upper open end or" 40 the container and preventing withdrawal of the brush from the container; Fig. 2 is aplan- View of the novel sealing device before being applie to the brush; Fig. 3 is a perspective view, showing the sealing device as it appears when posie tioned on the brush; Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view of a brush having thereon a modified form of the container sealing device; Fig. 5 is a plan view of a modified form of sealing device before being applied to the brush; and Fig. 6 is a perspective View of the display container.
In accordance with the invention, a display container 1, which is preferably made of a material of a thin transparent nature, such, for example, as cellophane or oiledpaper, is formed from a rectangular blank by suitably folding marginal portions of the blank on the central portion thereof to provide overlapping edges, which are adhesively secured together to form a flattened tube having a longitudinally extending seam 2. The front and back portions of this' tube are then separated sufficiently to permit the tube to be slipped down over the handle 30f a paint brush, the tube being preferably of suih-f cient width to pass down over the ferrule 4 and bristles5 of the brush and'of sufficient lengthf to extend from a point adjacent theconstricted' portion 3a of the handle, which I shall designate the throat of the brush, to a point somewhat beyond the ends of the bristles of the brush. h With the tube thus positioned on the brush, the lower end of the tube is creased on a line 00- inciding with the ends of the bristles, folded over into contact with the body of the. tube and adhesively secured thereto.
A container orbag is thus provided, which/ due to the fact that it is open at the top, would permit the brush. to be readily removed there- In order to prevent such removal of the brush from 'thecontainer and to efiectively seal the upper open end of the container, I provide a; novelsealing device for the container.
Referring more particularly to that form of the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 3, it is seen that the sealing device consists of a band or collar 6, which terminates at one end in a flared tab 6a and has integral pendent portions 6?). extending therefrom at spaced points. One sure face of this sealing device is provided with an adhesive, such as glue, and both surfaces of the flared tab 6a are so provided. The sealing device is preferably made of paper or similar opaque material, which is stirrer than the ma- I terial from which the container is made and which is better adapted to bear printed matter, as may be desired.
With the brush positioned in the container, as described, the upper open end thereof is first contracted about the throat 3a of the brush, and the band or collar 6, after moistening theglue bearing surfaces thereof, is then caused to, encircle the contracted end of the container in the manner shown in Fig. 1, so that the collarand contracted end of the cover snugly engage 9.5 the throat of the brush. The tab 6a is then caused to adhere to the glue bearing surface of the'pendent portion 61) at the other fend. of the collar and the moistenedsurfaces of both .of the pendent portions are caused to adhere to the container 1. It will be noted that this form of the sealing device is contractible, so that it may be applied to various sizes of brushes, and that after it is securely positioned around the throat of the brush, it not only serves to seal any openings between the upper end ofthe container and the throat of the brush, so as to prevent access of dirt or dust to the bristles, but also prevents the brush from being withdrawn from the container.
In Figs. 4 and 5, I have shown a modified form of the sealing device, which is better adapted for brushes of greater width than that shown in Fig. 1. The sealing device, as here shown, consists of a substantially rectangular shaped paper member 7, provided at opposite edges with integral substantially semi-circular extensions 7a, and having a centrally located hole 71) therein. This hole is of a size suflicient to permit the sealing device to be passed, down over the widest portion of the brush handle. One surface of the sealing device is provided with an adhesive.
In using this form of the sealing device, the upper open end of the container is not contracted about the throat of the brush, but after moistem'ng the adhesive bearing surface of the sealing device, it is secured to the container in the manner shown in Fig. 4750 that it not only serves to close portions of the upper open end of the container, but also. prevents withdrawal of the brush from the container.
Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed instead of the one explained, change being made as regards the mechanism herein disclosed, provided the means stated by any of the following claims or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.
' I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention:--
1. A container for a paint brush or like article, having a body with a handle of less diameter, projecting therefrom, said container comprising a bag adapted to receive and enclose such body with the open end thereof adjacent the base of such handle, and a collar formed to fit closely around saidhandle and encircle same and having depending portions adapted to be attached to the corresponding sides of such bag,'the open end of the bag being confined between the collar and the body of the brush by such attachment.
2. A container for a paint brush or like article, having a body with a handle of less diameter, projecting therefrom, said container comprising a bag adapted to receive andenclose such body with the open end thereof adjacent the base of such handle, and a collar formed'to fit closely around said handle and having two oppositely located depending portions adapted to be adhesively attached to the corresponding sides of such bag, the open end of the bag being confined between the collar and the body of the brush by such attachment.
