COMBINED CAN HOLDING AND BRUSH WIPING DEvIcE Filed Sept. 10, 1947 INVENTOR. R Geo rye O A. aesc H BY Patented May 12, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE COMBINED CAN,HOLDING AND BRUSH WIPING DEVICE George 0. Loesel, Erie, Pa.
Application September 10, 1947, Serial No. 773,231
This invention relates generally to combined can holding and brush wiping devices and-it relates more particularly to combined can holding and brush wiping devices for holding small paint cans in an open position while they are being used for painting and for wiping the brush being used.
Small paint cans have a comparatively wide, grooved marginal bead on one end thereof for frictionally engaging a beaded cover. Because of the small diameter of the can, and because of the grooved beaded portion on the open side thereof, paint fills up the groove and floods over the side of the can when a paint brush is wiped on the side of the beaded portion of the can. Devices have been provided for disposal on top of an open paint can for wiping a brush but no simple means has heretofore been provided for holding the can as well as providing a wiping surface for the brush. It has heretofore been very difficult to hold a paint can being used in that the paint runs down the side of the can and much of the paint is lost and the hand holding the can is covered with paint.
It is, accordingly, an object of my invention to provide a novel combined can holding and brush wiping device for use with comparatively small paint cans which is simple in construction, economical in cost, economical in manufacture, easy to assemble and disassemble, and eflicient in use.
Another object of my invention is to provide a combined paint can holder and brush wiping device which may be made from one piece of wire.
Another object of my invention is to provide in a combined can holding and brush wiping device, novel handle means which secure my novel device to the outside of a can.
Other objects of my invention will become evident from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is aside elevational View of my novel combine can holding and brush wiping device;
Fig. 2 is a plan view taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a plan view of another embodiment of my novel combined can holding and brush wiping device; and
Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of the combined can holding and brush wiping device shown in Fig. 4. 7
Referring now to the drawings, Figs. 1, 2i and 3 shows opposed flexible arcuate shaped portions I and 2 forming a portion of a circle somewhat greater than one half of a circle. The arcuate 1 Claim. (01. zen-90) shaped portions I and 2 have the free ends 3 and 4 thereof spaced from each other and extending radially outwardly for reception in parallel apertures 5 in the handle 6. The handle 6 has a cutaway. portion 1 with the outer end 8 thereof in arcuate form to engage the outer surface of a can 9 shown in dotted lines. The ends of the arcuate shaped portions I and 2 opposite to the free ends 3 and 4 are connected together by a straight wire member IEI bent at right angles to the horizontal plane of the wires I and 2. The cross wire or wiping wire I0 has upwardly raised portions II adjacent to the outer ends of the arcuate shaped portions l and 2 to engage a grooved marginal bead I2 of the can 9 shown in dotted lines.
My novel combined can holding and brush wiping device is assembled to a can by removing the handle 6 from the free ends 3 and 4, drawing the free ends 3 and 4 away from each other, and disposing the raised portions I I of the cross wire I0 over the bead I2 of the can 9 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 whereby the arcuate shaped portions I and 2 engage the outer side of the can 9 when the free ends 3 and 4 are released. The free ends 3 and 4 are then drawn together and the handle 6 is placed on the free ends 3 and 4 with the free ends 3 and 4 disposed in the apertures 5 therein. The apertures 5 in the handle 6 are so disposed that the arcuate shaped portions I and 2 will frictionally engage a can of predetermined size when the free ends 3 and 4 are disposed in the apertures 5 of the handle 6.
In Figs. 4 and 5, I show a combined can holding and brush wiping device the same as that shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 except that no special handle is provided, the free ends of the device themselves being bent back to form a handle. In Figs. 4 and 5, I show arcuate shaped portions 20 and 2| having the free ends 22 and 23 thereof extending outwardly and bent back upon themselves to form a handle. A holding clamp 24 is provided for disposal over the free ends 22 and 23 as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 to lock the arcuate shaped portions 20 and 21 in frictional engagement with the outer side of a can 28 shown in dotted lines. A cross wiping wire 25 connects the ends of the arcuate shaped portions 20 and 2| the same as cross wire I0 in Fig. 1. The cross wire 25 has raised portions 26 for engaging the grooved marginal bead 21 of the can 28.
In assembling my modified device shown in Figs. 4 and 5 on a can, it is merely necessary to remove the holding clamp 24, separate the free I ends 23 and 24, dispose the raised portions 26 of the cross wire 25 over the bead 21 of the can 28,
3 and then draw the handles 23 and 24 together until the arcuate shaped portions 20 and 2| engage the side of the can and the holding clamp 24 is then disposed over the handles 23 and 24 to hold the arcuate shaped members 20 and 2| in this position.
It will be evident from the foregoing description that I have provided a simple device made by bending a single length of wire for firmly hold ing a paint can and providing a wiping wire for a brush which permits the paint from the brush being wiped to pass back into the can without touching the sides thereof thereby saving paint and providing a suitable handle extending out wardly from the can to hold the paint can Without getting paint on the hand which holds the can. My novel device firmly holds the can in frictional engagement and allows sufficient space to dip the paint brush into the paint in the can.
Various changes may be made in the specific embodiment of my invention without departing from the spirit thereof or from the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is:
A combined can holding and brush wipingdevice comprising a one-piece wire member bent to define a straight portion having raised inverted U-shaped portions on opposite ends thereof for lockingly engaging the marginal bead of an open '4 can, the said wire continuing from the outer leg of each inverted U-shaped portion toward one another along an arouate path in a plane at right angles to the U-shaped portion and terminating in parallel adjacent extensions to form a handle, the combined extent of the arcuate portions being more than whereby said arcuate portions will clampingly hold a can.
O. LOESEL.
