BRUSH WIPER ATTACHMENT FOR CONTAINERS Filed Oct. 23, 1941 P, J 6 0 7 Zz'o fidro mom,
Patented Feb. 22, 1944 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE BRUSH WIPER ATTACHMENT FOR CONTAINERS Dominick J. Coyliondro, Port Chester, N. Y.
Application October 23, 1941, Serial No. 416,272
- 1 Claim. (01. 220-90) from a single strand of wire having a portion for frictionally engaging the inner side of a container wall for supporting the article therein, and one or more bar or rod portions which are spaced from the container wall and on which the brush head can be wiped.
Other objects and advantages of the invention are: To provide a wiper which will effect a saving in liquid or other material being applied with a brush by returning all the liquid or other material wiped from the brush back to the container; to provide an attachment that can be applied to the container when it is filled and which can be so disposed in the container that it willnot interfere with the cover being applied thereto and which will prevent paint or other liquid from accumulating in groove of the container which receives the cover; to provide a device which will form convenient means for supporting a brush when not in use in a position so that the liquid thereon will drip into the container and which, when used for wiping brush head, will prevent any of the liquid wiped therefrom from accumulating in the cover receiving channel of the container or running down the outer side thereof; to provide a device that can be used for holding a mixing stick or small brush while the liquid is being applied from the container with a larger or another brush; to provide an article which can be readily pushed down into the container or to a position adjacent the top thereof without removing the contents of the container; and to provide a straight surface which is substantially round in cross-section on which the bristles of the brush can be wiped for removing excess liquid therefrom and which will therefore evenly clean the brush head and will not injure the bristles near the edges thereof as occurs when the bristles are wiped against the curved upper edge of a container.
The invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with a conventional paint can and it is to be understood that it is adapted to be used with other types of containers adapted to contain any liquid, paste or the like which can be applied with a brush such as'varnishes or shellacks, glue, mucilage, liquid tar, roofing preparations and the like.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter become more fully apparent from the following description of the drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment thereof, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the attachment shown in an applied position in a container, which is shown in horizontal section and substantially along a plane as indicated by the line I -l of Figure 2. Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view, on a reduced scale, of a portion of the container and attachment taken substantially along a plane as indicated by the line 2-2 of Figure and i Figure 3 is a similar view taken substantially along a plane as indicated by the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the different views, 10 designates generally the upper por-' tion of a conventional can of the type generally employed for containing paint, varnish, shellac and similar liquids, paste or the like. which are intended to be applied with a brush. The can in has a cylindrical side wall I I which is turned inwardly at its upper end and in such inwardly turned portion is formed a downwardly ofl'set annular channel l2 which is adapted to receive a rim of a cover or lid, not shown. The inner annular wall [3 of channel l2 forms the opening id in the top of the can Ill. The outer annular wall I 5 of the channel I2 is spaced from the can wall II and combines therewith to form an annular outwardly opening channel or groove It. The parts II to Hi of the can III are of conventional construction and have been shown and described merely to better illustrate a preferred application of the brush wiper attachment, designated generally l1, and comprising the invention.
The wiper attachment i1 is formed from a single strand of wire including generally an intermediate portion, designated generally IB, end portions, designated generally I!) and 2B, and portions 2| and 22 which connect corresponding ends of the portions l9 and 20 to the ends of the intermediate portion Ill. The intermediate portion 18 and the end portions I 9 and 2!] each include a substantially straight intermediate portion 23 and substantially straight end portions 24 which are angularly disposed relatively to their intermediate portions 23. The portions 2| and 22 are each provided with downwardly offset portions 25 at their ends and substantially straight intermediate portions 26 disposed therebetween and in substantially the same plane as the intermediate portion 18 and the end portions l9 and 2E].
The attachment l"! is normally disposed in the can l and with end of the intermediate portions 23 and end portions 24 of portions l8, la and in engagement with the inner side of the cylindrical wall I l. The attachment I! is of such a size that said ends will frictionally engage the can wall II to support the attachment H in the can II]. By grasping the portion 26 the attach ment I! can be drawn upwardly to position its portions l8, l9 and 20 within the downwardly opening channel or groove Ni and when thus disposed the intermediate part or" the portions 23 will then frictionally engage the outer side of the annular wall IE to more effectively retain attachment I? in its applied position, as shown. When thus disposed, the downwardly ofiset por. tion 25 will be disposed beneath the channel 12 and the portions 26 will extend across parts of the can opening I4. It will thus be readily apparent that the portions 25 will form substantially'straight rods or bars which are substantially circular in cross-section and which are disposed in the can opening is so that the brush 21', as seen in dotted lines in Figure 3, can be wiped or stroked on either of the Wiper or stroke bars or rods 26, after being dipped in the content of the can Ill, for removing excess paint or other liquids therefrom. It will furthermore be readily obvious that the paint thus removed will drip hack into the can ED and cannot accumulate in the channel l2 or flow down the outer side of the can ID. Furthermore the straight bars or rods 26 will form a straight surface on which the bristles of the brush 21 can be wiped so that all parts of the brush head will be wiped evenly thereon and so that there will be little or no wear on the bristle as occurs when a brush is wiped on the rounded upper edge of a can.
It will likewise be readily obvious that a lid could be applied to the open top of the can It with the attachment I1 disposed therein so that said attachment can be applied when the can is filled originally so as to form part of the can when sold to the ultimate consumer. If desired, attachment I! can be pushed down into the can and thereafter again raised to its position, as illustrated, without removing the contents from the can.
Obviously, the attachment i! could be applied to any can which is not provided with a channel l2 or could be mounted in a jar, pail or any other receptacle used for holding liquids to be applied with a brush.
One of the bars or rods 26 can also be used for holding a mixing stick and a small paint brush in the space between said bar and the adjacent portion of the wall 1 3 while paint is being applied With another paint brush. Likewise the head of the brush 2! could he rested on the two bars 26 so that any paint dripping therefrom drops into the can I0.
Various modifications and changes are contemplated and may obviously be resorted to, provided they ,fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter defined by the appended claim. as only a preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed.
I claim as my invention:
A brush wiper attachment of wire for application to a container having a U-shaped depressed ring outwardly of its pouring opening, and inwardly spaced from the side wall, said wire having a straight portion, adapted to extend across the ring in chordal relation thereto, each end of said straight portion having a downward- 1y extending U-shaped part providing vertical walls for engagement with the ring at said mouth, and the wall in said space, each of said U- shaped portions having integral therewith an extension provided with a plurality of angularly related straight sections lying substantially in the plane of the first straight portion, each of said extensions being adapted to lie in the space between said ring and well and adapted to contact the. opposite wall thereof in gripping relation.
