ENVELUP MOISTENER.
(Application led July 98, 1901.) (No Model.)
lNVE-NTR ATTORNEY UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
NATHAN SCHWAB, OF NEW YORK, N. Y. y
SPECIFICATION forming part vof Letters Patent No. 697,548, dated April 15, 1902.
Application filed July 23, 1901. Serial No. 69,361. (No model.) i
To @ZZ whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, NATHAN SCHWAB, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Envelop-Moisteners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to improvements in -envelop-moisteners; and the object of my intening-pad will sufliciently check a too-rapid flow of water, to adapt it also to Jt nicely upon the gummed portion of an envelop, and, further, to produce a spring buffer and guide which will hold the free end of the pad in position for effective use and will compensate for any wear or shrinkage of the pad, so that the latter is always in usable shape until it is worn out.
It will be understood, however, that while this invention is particularly adapted for use in moistening the gum of envelops I do not restrict it to such use; but it can be used for any analogous purpose.
To these ends my invention consists of an envelop-moistener, the construction and arrangement of which will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication, in which similar characters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Figure l is a side elevation of my improved moistener, taken on a side to show the flattened end of the tube or barrel, Fig. 2 is alongitudinal cross-section of the device, and Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the spring buffer and guide.
The hollow barrel l0 is adapted to contain the charge of water, and it is preferably cylindrical in shape, of a size torbe conveniently grasped and operated, and should be small enough to be carried without difficulty in the pocket. It can be made of any suitable material and is usually made of hard rubber.
At one end the tube or barrel l0 is flattened, as shown at ll; but this iiattening of .the barrel is not essential, and it can be made cylindrical or elliptical in cross-section, if pre- It will be seen that the pad would be likely l to become loose and leak unless some checking means were provided, and to this end I use the spring buffer and guide 13. This is in the form of a loop, as shown, and it has two free members 14, which are essentially parallel with each other and are reduced at their free ends, these members being made to spring apart by reason of their connection with the loop 13. It will be seen that when they are inserted in the end of the tube, between` the pad and the wall of the tube, as best shown in Fig. 2,- the members compress the pad, so that the water does not flow too rapidly through it. They also prevent it from getting loose, and at the same time the buifer or loop 13 forms a backing for the projecting portion of the pad and also acts as a guide to enable it to be run nicely along the end of any material to be moistened.
The upper end of the tube or barrel IO is closed by a screw-cap 16, which can be removed when the barrel is to be filled.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that I provide a very simple and con- Venieut'moistener which is adapted to rap idly, easily, and neatly meisten envelops or.
other surfaces.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. As an improved article of manufacture, an envelopmoistener comprising a hollow tube or barrel having a closure at one end, a pad held in the opposite end of the barrel and arranged to project therefrom, and a removable buffer or guide at the end of the barrel, the said guide having its outer portion formed into a loop and having a shank extending into the barrel between the pad and the wall of the barrel.
2. A device of the kind described, compris- 3. The combination with the hollow tubev or barrel, having a closure at one end, with a pad in the opposite end of the barrel, of a spring-buffer projecting from the padded end of the barrel, the buffer having its outer portion made in the form of a loop, merging in parallel spring members, the said members lying in the tube between the wall thereof and the pad.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
NATHAN SCIIVAB.
In presence of- WARREN B. HUTGHINSON, WALTER S. ALLERTON.
