UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ELIZABETH R. GRAHAM, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
BRUSH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,362, dated December 3, 1889.
Application filed February 13, 1889. Serial No. 299,771. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ELIZABETH R. GRAHAM, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Brushes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved brush. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section thereof on the line so as of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a modified form thereof.
Like symbols of reference indicate like parts in each.
My invention is designed to provide a brush to be used for whitewashing, painting,
kalsomining, and similar purposes, which shall prevent the disagreeable and inconvenient spilling or running of the whitewashor paint compound from the brush upon the person using the same or on the floor.
The brush proper may be of the usual form, having bristles 2, and a handle 3, to which the bristles are attached.
4 is a shield or casing, which incloses the handle, but is open at the rear end to permit the insertion of the hand in grasping the brush. The shield is preferably made of sheet metal and is of flaring or hell shape, and is or may be attached to the handle of the brush by tacks or nails 5 or in any other suitable way. WVhen thus constructed, the brush is used by grasping the body portion 3 with the hand, and the shield 4 fully protects the hand from liquid dripping from the bristles and protects the handle from theliquid'when the brush is dipped into the paint pot or vessel. 1
If desired, the brush may be placed on the end of a stick or pole in painting or whitewashing places difficult of access, and for this purpose the handle is provided with the usual pole-sockets a and b, one of which is formed in the side and the other in the end of the handle. In order to admit entrance of the pole into the lateral socket b, the side of the casing is preferably depressed or bent, as shown in each of the several figures of the drawings.
For the purpose of catching and retaining the liquid drip which may fall from the bristles upon the casing 4, I may provide the end of the latter with a peripheral gutter shaped flange 6, as shown in Fig. 3. The liquid drip will flow into and collect in this gutter, and may be poured therefrom from time to time when desired.
The advantages of my invention will be appreciated by those who have occasion to use such articles. It is simple and cheap in its construction, and is of especial use for domestic purposes, where the uncleanliness of brushes of the kind heretofore used has been particularly objectionable.
I claim as my invention l. The combination, with a brush, of a flaring shield or casing inclosing the handle or body portion of the brush and having its concavity opening backward from the brush, substantially as and for the purposes described.
'2. A brush having a shield or casing inclosing the handle or body portion of the brush, and a gutter or drip-trough 011 the shield or casing, substantially as and for the purposes described.
In testimony whereof Ihave hereunto set my hand this 14th day of January, A. D. 1889.
ELIZABETH R. GRAHAM.
