THOMAS N. HIOKOOX, OF
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN MUCILAG-E-BR'USI-I HANDLES.
Specijicaton forming part of Letters Patent No. 89,222, dated April 20, 1869.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, THOMAS N. Hickcox, of the city ot' Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gaps and Brushes for Mucilage and other Bottles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, and in Which- Figure l represents a longitudinal view of a cap and brush for mucilage-bottles, constructed according to my improvement; and Fig. 2 represents a transverse section of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both gures.
This invention consists in a cap and brush of novel construction for mucilage and other bottles, whereby efiiciency and convenience are combined, and whereby a neater and better apparatus is obtained than has been heretofore provided.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A is a cap stamped into the required shape from a single piece of sheet metal, in the usual way, except that it is formed with a vertically or rectangularly projecting circular wall or socket, a,surroundingitscentralopening. Thissleeve like socket d is intended to give more bearingsurface to the brush-handle where it passes through the cap, so as, by preventing or reducing wabbling of the parts, to insure a more even and satisfactory sliding ofthe same. The brush is constructed substantially as other lnucilage-brnshes, except that it is provided with a longitudinally-slitted tubular handle, b. Said handle b may be formed from a suitable sized plate of sheet metal, bent in a cylindrical or tubular form, with its edges nearly touching each other as shown at x, Fig. 1, and retained in said form by the fitting over one end of the socket ofthe brush, and over the other of a cap, e, or other suitable device. The advantage of this handle over the ordinary wooden or solid handle is, that by its circumferentially elastic nature arising from the elasticity' of the material, the cap A, when titted tightly over it, causes a slight contrae tion of that part thereof on which the cap is borne, so that the constant expanding tendency of the handle against the inner surface of the socket a serves to retain the cap steadily in place, while its sliding may be effected with comparatively little resistance or inconvenience.
The length of the socket a may be increased indefinitely by the soldering in of an additional sleeve or inner socket, a, if more bearingsurface is necessary to produce the desired uniformity of sliding and more steadiuess generally of the parts.
O is a stationary cup, small enough to enter with facility the mouth 'of the lnucilage-bottle, and so arranged between the cap A and the bristles of the brush as not to interfere with the free sliding of the former, nor yet to be near enough to the latter to be'submerged in the mucilage, its purpose being to retain any mucilage which may run back upon the handle when the brush is turned up, and thus prevent the gunnning up of the parts, thereby maintaining the freedom ofthe cap A to slide whenever desirable.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to have secured by Letters Patent, is-
A mucilage-bottle cap having a tubular or sleeve-like center opening or socket, and a mucilage-brush having a longitudinally'slitted handle, combined for operation substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
T. N. HIOKCOX.
