To ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. i

Beit known that I, Dr. WILLIAM W. BEACH, of the city and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use a certain new and useful improvement in Mucilage-Bcttles; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a fall, clear, and exact description of the said invention, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making part of this specification, wherein I have represented a vertical section of my said improved mucilageebottlei.

The object of my invention is to obtain a fountain of mucilage that will supply a brush as the same may be4 required, and to prevent evaporation o1` escape of the mucilage when not in use, and only to keep the brush itself immersed in the mu'cilage.

My invention consists in a brush andfountain combined, and constructed in such a manner as to be adapted to the reception of mucilage; and in combination with the saine I employ a holder, into which the fountain and 4brush are placed, the brush being immersed so as not to become dry, and the mucilage in said holder coming above the base of the brush, closes the fountain so that air cannot get in, and hence the mucilage cannot run out. My brush is detachable from the fountain, so as to allow for introducing a new brush, or a brush of a Ydil'erentvshape, as occasion may require.

.In-the drawing, a represents a fountain made partially or wholly of glass, of a suitable size and shape'for containing mucilage, and being handled. 6 is a brush, secured into the mouth of the fountain. I prefer and use a screw-socket, forming the base of the brush, and screwed into the mouth of the fountain a; and c is a hole, communicating through the brush base, so that the :mucilage will run out of the fountain gradually, as the dryness of the brush, as used, allows the air to pass in through said hole c. dis a cup or receptacle of a suitable size and shape for receiving the brushand the neck of the fountain, as shown in the drawing. The mucilage will run out of the fountain until it rises su'iciently to reach the base of the brush, and exclude the further passage of air into the fountain. This keeps the brush Valways in the moist condition required. for use, and the fountain setting within the receptacle d prevents exposure of the gum to evaporation. i

The receptaclehiay be shaped as desired, and, for convenience. on the desk, may be heavy, to prevent being upset, or it may be used ias a weight to retain papers in place.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, s-

A fountain-brush for mucilage formed substantially as shown, with a brush at the mouth of the-fountain, andan opening through th'e same into the fountain, as and for the purposes specified.

I claim the receptacle d, in combination with the fountain .d and brush l, substantially as I.and for the pur-v poses set forth.

I also claim a fountain for mucilage, in combination with a brush that is removable from said fountain, so to be changed, for the purposes and as set forth. l

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this eleventh day of May, A. D. 1867.

WM. W. BEACH.
