JAMES LYNAM, OF NEWMAN, CALIFORNIA.
FOUNTAIN-BRUSH AND CAN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 7, 1914:-
Application filed March 7, 1913. Serial No. 752,720.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMEs LYNAM, citizen of the United States, residing at Newman, in the county of Stanislaus and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fountain-Brushes and Cans, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention relates to improve ments in combined oil cans and brushes and more particularly to that type of oil can carrying a brush so arranged that the brush head forms a closure for the can, and the object of my invention is to improve the construction and increase the efliciency of a combined can and brush of the above described character.
More particularly my present invention is an improvement over. the structure of combined can and brush disclosed in my copending application, Serial No. 694,193.
One of the primary objects of this invention is to provide the brush head with a valve controlling the flow of oil or other liquid. contained in the can to the brush and so arranged that the application of a cap employed in protecting the brush when the latter is not in use will automatically close the valve and prevent all leakage of oil to the brush irrespective of the position of the can. And a still further object of my invention is to so arrange the valve construction as to avoid all catching or binding of the cap and valve either when applying or removing the cap.
With these and other objects in view, my invention will be more fully described illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and then specifically pointed out in the claims which are attached to and form a part of this application.
In the drawing :-Figure 1 is a front ele-- vation of my can and brush construction, showing the cap in raised position, the portions of the structure illustrating my present invention being shown in section and the valve being shown in open position; Fig.
2 is a central vertical sectional view of the brush and can constructlon shown in Fig.-
1, but with the cap in position on the can and the valve consequently closed; Fig. 3
is a fragmentary sectional view on the line 38 of Fig. 1, showing certain details in the valve construction.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawing by the same reference characters.
As the construction of the entire device, with the exception of the valve, is practically the same as that of my copending application above referred to, but a brief description of the same is necessary.
The oil receptacle or can 10 is provided with a brush 11, the head of which forms a closure for the can and with a detachable cap or cover 12 which, when the device is not in use, serves to protect the brush and also to shut the same off from exposure to the air and thus prevent its becoming gummed with dried oil. The can is preferably formed of relatively light sheet metal and in any shape, certain of its walls being provided with resilient diaphragms 13 either formed integrally with the walls or set into the same as shown, these diaphragms being adapted to buckle inwardly under pressure to force the oil from the receptacle in the usual well known manner. The can is provided at its upper end with a cylindrical dlscharge spout 14 threaded as at 15 to receive the threaded annular flange 16 carried by the brush head, Secured to the top of the can and extending in spaced relation about the spout, is a threaded annular flange 17 to receive the threaded flange 18 of the cap 12.
The brush 11 includes a brush head 19 of any suitable form or construction, the bristles being preferably set in the head by cement or in some other suitable manner to prevent all'leakage of oil through the head. The brush head is provided centrally with a discharge opening or port 20 through which oil may pass from the can to the brush and this port is closed, under normal conditions by a valve 21. The valve comprises a substantially rectangular plate of sheet metal slidably mounted in a horizontal recess 22 formed in thebrush head and intersecting the opening 20 at its inner end. This recess is preferably exactly equal in. width and and slot are so arranged that the valve platemay be moved inwardly to completely close the opening 20 and that the valve plate may also be moved outwardly a sufficient distance to fully expose the opening 20 shown in Fig. 1. The outer end of the valve plate is provided with an upwardly directed extension 25 having an inbent terminal 26, theextension 25 and terminal 26. forming in efl'ect an operating head for the valve. As shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing, this valve plate, together with its operating head, is. so arranged and proportioned that if, when the valve is opened as shown in Fig. 1 the cap is positioned over the brush and; moved downwardl to engage with the threaded collar 17 its threaded flange 18 will engage first against the inbent terminal 26. and then against the extension 25. of the valve plate and because of its inclination and the inclination of said; extension and terminal, force the valve plate inwardly to close the valve, as shown in Fig. 2. Furthermore, the cap will constantly bear against thev extension 25 of the valve plate when in place and will therefore hold the valve in closed position, irrespective of the position in which, the can isplaced, preventing all leakage of oil to the brush.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that I have provided an. extremely simple form of valve structure .and one which, at the same time, is. of great value, due to the fact that with this valveconstruction the can is rendered non-.leakable and may bereadily packed in a suit caseor trunk or it the device isused in oiling automobile covers or'other portions of vehicles it may be packed in any position in a tool box carried by the vehicle. without danger 0t injnry to other articles contained therein. It will however be understood that I do not Wish in any way to limit myself to the specific details of construction illustrated. and described as various minor changes may at any time be made without in the slightest degree departing from the spirit of my invention as set forth in the appended claims.
If deemed advisable additional pins 23 may be passed through the brush head, one upon either side of the. slotted portion of the valve plate, to insure. the proper movement of the. valve plate. It the brush head is of that type formed of plastic material cast in one piece these pins will not be necessary, but it the head is built up of two or more layers, 0t wood, rubber or other material and the valve. plate, inserted between certain of these layers, the additional pins will be found necessary.
The space between the flanges 14 and 17 collects any oil running back in the brush when the device is in upright position and prevents the same from running over the outside of the can to the inconvenience of v the person using the same.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. In a combined can and brush of the type in which the brush head forms a closure for the can a valve slidable transversely in the brush head, and a cap, applicable to the can to protect the brush and close. the valve.
2. In a combined can and brush of the type in which the brush head forms a closure for the. can, a valve. slidable transversely in the brush head having an operating head extending beyond the brush head when the valve is opened, and a cap adaptedfor engagement with the canto inclose the'brush and proportioned to engage the valvejhead when moved into position and. to so close the. valve. l
3. An oilapplying device including an oil can having a discharge opening, a brush acting as a closure for said opening, the. head oi the brush beingin turn provided with an opening, a valve plate movable across the opening and extending beyond the brush 1 head when the opening erposedand. a cap adapted to be positioned about the brush and A detachably secured to the can, said valve plate being so arranged, that when in eX-' tended position. the application of the. cap will force the valve plate inwardly across theopening r 4. An oil applying device ihelnding an oil; can havinga discharge opening, a brush,
the head oii which acts as a closure for said opening, the. head of the brush beingprovided. with an opening, a valve plgatesliclably mounted in. the brush. head and movable across. the. opening, said valve plate. being provided at its outer end with an upwardly and inwardly directed terminal which in open position of the valve extends outwardly beyond the; side. of the brush head, and a cap adap ed or ta h b ngagemen w the cam and having a flared flange which, up n application f he ap, nga es g i theupwardly and inwardly directed terminal of the valve plate to force theisameinwardi ly and acrossthe brush opening.
An Oil pply ngdevice cl ding an o can having a discharge opening, a brush acting as a closurefor saidv opening, the. head of the brush being in turn provided with opening, a valve plate movable in. a recess formed in the brush; head to; close the opening when in innermost position, said valve p a e ei e ptevid i it n t d na slot, a pin passed through the. brush head and slot to limit the movement of the valve plate, an upwardly and inwardly directed terminal carried by the free end of the valve plate and extending in spaced relation to the brush head when the valve is opened, and a cap adapted for detachable engagement with the can about the brush and having a flaring flange which engages against said valve terminal during application of the cap to close the valve.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
