Application October 7, 1954, Serial No. 460,856
1 Claim. (Cl. 220-90) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in paint brush wipers, and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, novel means whereby excess paint may be expeditiously wiped from a brush without filling the usual closure receiving groove or channel in the lip of a paint can.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide a brush wiper of the aforementioned character which is adapted to be readily mounted in position for use on a conventional paint can.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a paint brush wiper of the character set forth which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, compact and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a paint brush wiper constructed in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a top plan view, showing the device mounted in position on a paint can with portions broken away in section;
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view, taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2; and
V Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view, taken substantially on the line 44 of Figure 2.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises an inclined metallic plate 5 of arcuate cross-section, which plate may be of any suitable shape and dimensions. The plate 5 terminates in a pointed or tapered lower end portion 6.
The palte 5 is adapted to be removably mounted on the usual annularly channeled lip 7 of a conventional paint can 8. Toward this end, the plate 5 has fixed, as by soldering or welding, on its rear marginal side portions 2,767,880 Patented Oct. 23, 1956 a pair of vertical C-clamps 9. The C-clamps 9 are for the reception of the can lip 7 and comprise lever cams 10 which are engageable with said lip. The lower ends of the clamps 9 are engaged beneath the lip 7 behind the channel thereof and the lever cams 10 are engaged with the top of said lip, as shown in Figure 4 of the drawing. Also fixed on the back of the plate 5, on the longitudinal center thereof and at an intermediate point, is a substantially U-shaped, horizontally projecting clip or bracket 11 for the reception of the can lip 7.
It is thought that the manner in which the device is used will be readily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, the clip or bracket 11 and the C- clamps 9 are engaged with the can lip 7 and the lever cam jaws 10 of said clamps are closed thereon. In this manner, the plate 5 is firmly but removably secured at an inclination on the upper portion of the paint can 8, the clip or bracket 11 functioning as a stabilizer. The paint brush, after being dipped in the paint in the can 8, as at 12, is then wiped upwardly over the tapered or pointed lower end portion 6 of the plate 5 for removing excess paint, in an obvious manner. Of course, the device may be readily removed from the can by opening the jaws 10. If desired, the plate 5 may carry advertising or other matter. In Figure 3 of the drawing, a paint brush 13 is shown in broken lines.
It is believed that the many advantages of a paint brush wiper constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood, and although a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is:
A paint brush wiper for cans of the type comprising an internal lip including an annular channel, said wiper comprising: an inclined plate of arcuate cross-section including a substantially V-shaped lower end, a pair of C-clamps mounted vertically on the marginal side portions of the back of said plate and engageable at one end beneath the lip behind the channel, said clamps comprising lever cams on the other ends thereof engageable on top of the lip for removably securing the plate in position thereon, and a substantially V-shaped stabilizing bracket mounted horizontally on the back of the plate and slidably engagcable with the lip.
