2 Claims.

This invention relates to paste or paint brush holders, intended particularly for the purpose of supporting a brush upon the edge of a receptacle, from which position it may be readily removed for use when desired.

The object of this invention is the production of a brush holder of the character stated having special construction and arrangement of a continuous length of heavy wire or the like, whereby there may be cheaply manufactured a reliable brush holder easily applied to any paste or paint bucket whether the wall thereof be vertical or inclined, and which will hold the brush securely and yet permit its ready removal by hand. It is believed that this invention cannot get out of order and that it will withstand any amount of rough usage.

In the accompanying drawing the formation and arrangement of the essential features of this invention are illustrated, and

Fig. 1 represents a side view of the invention on the edge or rim of a bucket with a brush held therein.

Fig. 2 is a like side view from the other side of the invention.

Fig. 3 is a front view, full size, showing all the parts of this invention assembled.

Fig. 4 is a side View similar to Fig, 1, full size, and showing one end fastened to the connecting member described.

Throughout the drawing and description the same number is used to refer to the same part.

It is thought that the particular arrangement of the main portion, usually heavy wire, of this invention may be best followed in Figs. 3 and 4 showing the holder full size.

A transverse connecting member I is a unitary part, the ends 2 of which are headed as shown to retain washers 3 to retain the remaining parts of the wire element is place. The end 4 of a continuous length of wire is turned over the connecting member near the end thereof. From the secured end 4 the wire part 5 slants outwardly and downwardly and at a lower point has a turn 6 continuing in an inward and upward slanting part 1 and a vertical part 8. The parts I and 8' slant with respect to each other and the result is a bend where they come together. This bend. marked la, may be termed a clamping bend for purposes of explanation. The wire part 8 continues upwardly and. is given a large turn it above the connecting member. The wire part HI then passes downwardly from turn 9 and is formed at its lower portion into a double turn II from which there is an upwardly extending part I 2 which is given a single turn l3 around the connecting member I and is continued upwardly and outwardly in a slanting direction in a leg and back or cross piece of the brush support M. This is a substantially rectangular form of the wire as shown in Fig. 3. The second leg l5 of the support 14 slants downwardly to and is turned around the connecting member I near its second end, thence downwardly in part IE to the double turn H, which is a counterpart of the double turn ll on the other side. From turn 11 the vertical part I8 extends into the second large turn 38 above the connecting member '1. From turn it the wire is given a downward part 20. like part 6, and from part 20 a downward and outward slant 2!, like 7. Between the parts and at the junction thereof, there is a clamping bend like the bend la, and the parts 20 and 2| have at the lower end a single turn 22, from which rises the part 23 the upper end of which, that is to say, the remaining end of the continuous wire, has the end turn 24 next to the washer on the remaining end of the connecting member I The operation of the invention is thought to be clear from Fig. 1, and is the same as usual in such brush holders. The parts 5, 6, l and 8, and their fellow parts on the other side, as the wire is resilient, may be pulled outwardly from the adjacent sides of the holder and slipped down ,upon the inside of the bucket 26. The holder being thus clamped upon the rim of the bucket with the connecting member I closely above the rim. Brush 25 then has its handle passed over the connecting member and under the back of the holder 14, with the bristles of the brush arranged over the bucket to permit any paint or paste droppings to fall into the bucket, yet allowing the handle to be conveniently grasped by the hand and removed by the user.

Having now described this invention, I claim:

1. A brush holder comprising in combination,

' a transverse connecting member, and a continuous wire portion attached at its ends to the opposite ends of said transverse member, said continuous wire extending first downwardly from one of its attached ends, thence upwardly above said connecting member near the first attached end of the continuous wire, the said wire continued downwardly and being turned upwardly and turned around the said connecting member and extended outwardly to form one side and top of a rectangular brush support, the opposite side of said support having a turn around said connecting member whereby the sides of the said support are spaced apart, said continuous wire being thence extended downwardly and turned upwardly into a rounded turn above the said connecting member, said wire being thence ext tended downwardly and upwardly and the renecting member near the ends thereof and extended to form an upwardly and outwardly inclined brush support, the said side portions being turned downwardly at the top and arranged to form downwardly extending portions having clamping bands adapted to press against the inside of a receptacle, the parts of the wire side portions which are turned aroundsaidconnecting member being arranged to pass down on the outside of the receptacle whereby the said connecting member will rest above and near the rim of the receptacle, said side portions at the ends of said. transverse member constructed to be passed over and to resiliently engage the edge of the receptacle.
