Oct. 20, 1936. cs. E. HARTWELL- PAINT BRUSH CONTAINER Filed Febv 28, 1935 .M M v. WM 9W WW m g u m m G Patented Oct. 20, 1936 PATENT OFFICE PAINT BRUSH CONTAINER George E. Hartwell, Baltimore, Md., assignor to Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, a corporation of Pennsylvania Application February 28, 1935, Serial No. 8,698
2 Claims.
This invention relates to a device which will serve as a holder for a paint brush during the period of its use. The primary object of this invention is to provide a holder which may be fastened to the side of a container by suitable means to act as a receptacle for a paint brush, when, in the course of applying paint it becomes necessary to change position. The holder of this case will prevent any dripping from the end of the brush. This device may also serve as a permanent receptacle for the paint brush and prolong the life of that brush by providing means for maintaining the bristles in parallel relation. The holder is fabricated from suitable material so 15 that it may be immersed in, or merely saturated with some vehicle such as linseed oil, which will prevent drying out or hardening of the brush contained therein. The nature of the holder is such that it may be used several times, but at the same time, it is prepared at such low cost that it may be discarded after being utilized once.
The embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front view showing the container in completed form secured to a can; Figure 2 is a plan view showing the container in open position preliminary to folding; Figure 3 is a front view showing the container in partially folded position; and Figure 4 is a transverse section of the completed container.
Referring to the drawing, the container is fabricated from a single sheet of suitable material, as indicated in Figure 2, having a central portion of the top edge I straight, with notched sides 2 and 3 sloping away therefrom. The side edges 4 and 5 converge on to and are curved as they approach a bottom straight edge 6 from which extends a tab 1. Slots 8 and 9 are provided in the side portions adjacent the central section of the top edge. The container is formed by folding the side edges 4 and 5 upon themselves along lines In and H and I2 and I3 so that they overlap, as indicated in Figure 3. By this step the supplementary creases along lines I4 and I provide a pocket in the upper half of the material with sections l6 and I1 forming sides of that pocket. Also the slots 8 and 9 have been made to coincide, as indicated in Figure 3. The material is now folded along the transverse line l8 so that the two ends come opposite each other, this action closing the pocket at its lower end. The tab I is passed through the slots 8 and 9, serving to lock the pocket in its final form, indicated in Figure 4.
A novel feature of this invention is the duplicate locking idea wherein the tab is entered through two thicknesses of the material from which the container is fabricated, which not only aifords more durability to the entire assembly but also insures rigidity in use. This manner of locking the container eliminates the need of sewing or stapling, which would materially increase the cost of manufacture.
What I claim is:
1. A brush holder comprising a sheet of material of tapered form provided with openings adjacent one end and having a tab projecting from the opposite end, said sheet having its side edges folded over each other and back upon themselves so that the tab and openings coincide, said tab being disposed through the openings of the folded sheet.
2. A brush holder comprising a unitary sheet provided with openings adjacent one end thereof folded to form a pocket, and means for locking the pocket in folded position and for securing the pocket to a container, said means comprising a. tab projecting from the end of the sheet as an integral part thereof adapted for disposition through said openings adjacent the opposite end of the sheet, when said sheet is in folded position.
GEORGE E, HARTWELL.
