CAN ATTACHMENT Filed Oct. 6, 1938 deovye flfirougham INVENTOR ATTO R N EYS Patented Oct. 29, 1940 UNITED STATES 2,219,617 CAN ATTACHMENT George D. Brougham, Gillett, Pa.
Application October 6,
1 Claim.
The invention relates to a can attachment and more especially to a wiper attachment for paint cans.
The primary object of the invention is the pro- 5 vision of an attachment of this character, wherein the same when applied to a can serves as a wiper for the brush to remove surplus paint and also will act to hold the brush when not in use, the attachment being readily and easily applied to the body of the can and will not interfere with free access to the contents thereof when its lid or cover is removed.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an attachment of this character, wherein the same is of novel construction and is made from several pieces of inherently resilient wire having the required resiliency and strength to enable the easy. mounting thereof on the can body and functioning as a wiper and holder for a brush.
A further object of the invention is the provision of an attachment of this character, which is extremely simple in its construction, thoroughly reliable and efiicient in operation, readily and easily applied to and removed from a can body, 25 and inexpensive to manufacture and install.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred and modified forms of embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claim hereunto.
appended.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevationof a paint can showing the attachment in its preferred form, constructed in accordance with the invention and applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a top plan view showing by dotted lines one adjusted position and by full lines another adjusted position.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a modification.
Figure 4 is a top plan viewof the form shown in Figure 3.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, particularly Figures 1 and 2, A designates generally a portion of a paint can, being of conventional form, and has, as usual, the removable cover (not 1938, Serial No. 233,622 (01. 91-63) shown), the can body being open at its top for accommodation of a paint brush, a portion thereof being indicated at B while at C is the attachment constituting the present invention and hereinafter fully described.
The attachment C comprises a single length of wire I0 having inherent resiliency and strength, being bent simulating a partialhoop or ring of a size to frictionally engage exteriorly; about the body of the can A next to the top flange II for separable fastening'to the said body of the can in contacting relation to the flange. The ends of the wire [0 are upturned and formed into eyes I 2 with which is loosely connected a swinging bail I3 which bridges the open top of the can A and this bail constitutes a wiper for the brush 3 when in use. The bail I3 is swingable to be disposed crosswise of the open top of the can A or to one side thereof, asshown by dotted lines in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing, while in full lines the bail I3 is in position for wiping service.
The wire In is clipped exteriorly for partially embracing the body of the can A and is so worn ly connected thereto the swingable bail l6, which 7 is similar to the bail l3, and constitutes a wiper and a brush holder or rest.
What is claimed is:
An attachment for a cylindrical can having an open end and an external annular bead exteriorly of said can at the open end, comprising an inherently resilient single curled wire having a lengthy and shape to partially encircle the external diameter of said can for a distance slightly greater than one-half of its diameter for separable frictional fastening thereto next to the 1 head, terminal eyes formed at opposite ends of said wire and bent upwardly at right angles to its plane, and an inverted substantially U-shaped bail having short side arms loosely connected with said eyesfor vertical swinging movement and for bridging the open end of said can within the diameter thereof when at rest upon the said head and effecting a wiper for abrush and a rest therefor and also a handle for the carrying of said can when in another position.
