TOALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,:.
Be it known that I, W. T. FRY; of, the city,oount'y,- and State of New York, have invented an Improved Wetting and Wiping-Instrument and I do hereby declare the following tohc a 'full, -cleaiyand exact description of the same. reference being had to ,the accompanying drawing,-and to the lettersof-reierence marked thereon. 4
My invention consists in the combination of a water-vessel and two sponges, one communicatingiwith and the other free from contact with the water, as described hereafter. By this means the drving of a surface wet from the use of the moist sponge is rapidly efi'ectsd by the dry sponge.
In order to enable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation, reference being had totheaccompanying drawing; which forms a partrof this specification, and
Figure 1 is an exterior view, and
Figure 2 a sectional view of my'imprbved wetting and wiping-instrument. y
A is a casing, of metal or other suitable material, and consists of two portions, a .and b, detachable one from the other. At the outer end of each portion of the casing is formed an enlargement, a, serving to receive and confinethe sponges B B, as illustrated in the drawing. The portiona of the casing forms a reservoir for water, and is open to the point where its enlargement commences, but is there closed, with the exception of one or more perforations, through which project strands of fibrous material into the chamber of the enlargement. These strands, as in my former invention, are in contact at their ends with the sponge B, to which they conduct a suitable quantity of the water contained within the reservoir a. To the inner endof the portion 6 of the casing is secured a cork-or other suitable plugg d, which projects some distance into the reservoir a, thus securely closing and confining the water withinthe same.
.It will be seen that by the'.above-descrihed arran ement the sponge \B' will be constantly supplied with a suitable qiiantity of. moisture fromthe reservoir a, while the sponge B' of the portion 6 of the casing, having no communication with the'water, will be dry. This arrangement makes the present instrument more efi'icient for various phrposes than my former wetting and wiping device, which has a moist sponge only, the dry sponge B of the present device serving to rapidly remove moisture from surfaces upon which the wet sponge msy'have been used. This rapid drying is of great advantage, for example, in the case of school-slates. The enlargements-c at each endof the casing, besides forming ready means of securely attaching the sponges, are of advantage in preventing them fromcoming in contact with, and thus gathering dust from, any siirface upon which the instrument may he laid when not in use. It will be understood that the sponges B B may be replaced by'masses of any snitablefihrous material.
I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. An instrument, consisting of a casing for containing water, one end ofthe casing being provided-with a sponge, or it's equivalent, communicating with the water, and the other end with a sponge to which the water cannotgain access, thewhole being constructed substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
2. I claim the enlargements'c c, at opposite ends of the ease, for the purpose specified. In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
WM. T. FRY.
