Definitions
- FIG. 1 is a phantom view of a paint can in section with two embodiments of the invention applied thereto, one embodiment for use in suspending a can of paint from an appropriate support such as a pin or hook, while the other embodiment illustrates the invention as designed for removably supporting a paint brush above the open end of the can.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the invention as depicted in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a view in section through a clamp involved in the embodiments of the invention depicted in FIG.
- FIG. 4 is a view in elevation of a detail involved in the embodiments of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 is a view in section through the brush support involved in the one embodiment of FIG. 1.
- a vertical upper rim 3 extends above an inside circular trough 5 which is adapted to receive a cover.
- the appliance of the present invention involves a rod 1 1 including a straight section 13 and a continuing section 15 preferably at an angle thereto, the straight section being of a length greater than the range of can sizes for which the appliance is adapted.
- a clamp assembly 29 Slidably mounted on the straight section of the rod is a clamp assembly 29 adapted when adjusted as to height, to overhang the raised upper edge 3 of the can, said clamp including means forlocking the same to the rod in its adjusted position thereon.
- the clamp involves a body 31 having a passage 33 therethrough for slidable installation of the clamp on the straight section of the rod.
- a disc 35 formed, preferably, by grooving the body, the spacing between the disc and the body proper being sufficient to receive the upper edge of a can.
- a threaded opening 37 of sufficient length to intersect the rod passage 33 is adapted to receive a set screw 39 to engage and lock the clamp to the rod at any adjusted position thereon.
- the structure of the appliance as thus far described, is basic to the two modifications illustrated, and enables secure attachment of the appliance to a can. When so attached, sufficient space should exist between the can 1 and the straight rod g section 13 to receive the bail 43 of a can if the can is provided with such bail.
- the angular section 15 of the rod terminates at its free end in a loop or disc 45 provided with an opening therethrough, the angular section pointing in the direction of the lip whereby, when the appliance is attached to a can in the manner previously indicated, the loop or disc 45 will terminate above the opening in the can, and preferably in the region of the longitudinal axis of the can.
- the appliance When installed on a can, the appliance will then enable the can to be suspended from a pin or hook or equivalent and with a minimum of tilting of the can; and with the bail in the down position as illustrated, a painter will have substantially free access to the paint in the can.
- the second embodiment of the invention as illustrated in FIG. 1, provides means for removably and adjustably supporting of a paint brush 49 with its bristles above the open end of the can whereby drippings if any, will fall directly into the can.
- Such brush support is slidably mountable on the angular section of the rod and is adjustable angularly to assure support of the brush at a desired non-slip angle.
- the brush support involves a cylindrical body 51 terminating at one end in a stop rim 53 and having a transverse passage 55 through the body for slidably mounting the same on the angular portion 15 of the rod.
- a C-shape brush holder component 57 is slidably installed over the body portion for engagement with the stop rim, with the arms 59, 61 of the C-shape holder extending beyond the stop rim. Abutting the tail end of the C-shape holder is a washer 63.
- a threaded passage 65 into the end of the body portion opposite the rim stop, is adapted to receive a set screw 67 for clamping the brush holder at any adjusted position along the angular portion of the rod.
- the handle 69 of a brush is inserted into the C-shape component, with the bristles above the open end of the can, whereby upon permitting the brush to rotate downwardly, the handle will engage the lower edge of the C-shape holder and the diagonally opposite edge to assume a fix position. A reverse movement of the brush will permit of its removal from the holder.
- the C-shape support Being rotatably mounted on the body portion of the holder, the C-shape support is capable of rota tional adjustment.
- the rod passage 55 through the body is somehwat oversize, so that the thickness of the base of the C- shape support and associated whasher is slightly greater than the distance from the stop rim 53 to the rod passage, whereby upon tightening of the set screw, the washer will engage the rod thereby clamping the C- shape support in its rotational adjusted position at the same time that the entire brush holder assembly is clamped in its adjusted position along the rod.
- An appliance for application to a paint can or the like having a lower rim and an upper edge comprising a rod including a straight section of a length greater than the range of can sizes for which adapted, a lip carried by said rod adjacent an end thereof for insertion beneath the lower rim of a can, a clamp adjustably mounted on said rod and adapted, when adjusted, to overhang the upper edge of said can, means for locking said clamp in such adjusted position, and adjustable brush holding means supportable on said rod above the plane of the upper end of such can for holding an individual brush at an acute angle to the horizontal and adjustably positioning the bristle end of such brush above and in line with the open end of such can, said rod including a section at an angle to said straight section and in a direction away from such can, and said brush holding means being adjustably mounted on said angle section to provide a vertical and horizontal component of adjustment for accomodating brushes of different lengths, whereby to position the bristle end of such brushes over the opening of such can.
- An appliance for application to a paint can or the like having a lower rim and an upper edge comprising a rod including a straight section of a length greater than the range of can sizes for which adapted, a lip carried by said rod adjacent an end thereof for insertion beneath the lower rim of a can, a clamp adjustably mounted on said rod and adapted, when adjusted, to overhang the upper edge of said can, means for locking said clamp in such adjusted position, and adjustable brush holding means supportable on said rod above the plane of the upper end of such can for holding an individual brush at an acute angle to the horizontal and adjustably positioning the bristle end of such brush above and in line with the open end of such can, said adjustable brush holding means being angularly adjustable in a vertical plane.
