Improvements in Bottles for Mucilage, Ink, or the like.
I, WILBUR FISK LITCH, of No. 1507 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, State of Penn-
sylvania, United States of America, Doctor of Medicine, do hereby declare the nature
o this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention consists of a bottle for mucilage, ink, or the like, having separate
compartments for the fluid, brush, and the like.
It also consists of a scraper for removing the surplus material from the brush or
the like.
It also consists of a novel fastening for the lid or cover of the bottle.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a mucilage bottle embodying my
invention.
Figure 2 represents a vertical section thereof.
Figure 3 represents a top or plan view thereof.
Figure 4 represents a perspective view of the brush and cover separated from the
body, the latter having therein a removable cup, to receive the brush and drip.
Figure 5 represents a perspective view of the scraper removed.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
A designates a bottle or holder for mucilage, the same having an interior vertical
divisional plate or wall B, thus dividing the bottle into compartiments C, D.
E designates the cover of the bottle and the holder of the brush F, the latter
being secured to said cover.
Rising from the back of the body of the bottle, is a swinging arm G, whose forward
end carries an elastic wheel or disc or head H, which is adapted to bear against the
cover E, and hold the same firmly on its seat.
The swinging arm G is connected with a threaded cap J, which is fitted to a
threaded boss K, on the body of the bottle, whereby the arm may be raised and
lowered, and the tension or pressure of the bead H, on the cover adjusted.
Within the bottle is a scraper L, which has a depending fork M, the latter being
adapted to straddle the wall B, and thus support the scraper, it being evident that
said scraper may be readily removed by withdrawing it from the wall B, and lifting
it from the bottle.
The operation is as follows:
When access to the contents of the bottle is required the arm G is swung laterally,
whereby the head H, leaves the cover E, and releases the cover of its holding action.
The cover may now be raised, thus removing the brush from the compartment C of
the bottle.
The brush may be dipped into the mucilage in the compartment D, and the surplus
removed by it working the brush against the scraper L, said surplus dropping back
into the compartment D. After the brush has rendered service, it is returned to
the compartment C, the cover E closing both compartments C, D. The arm G is
now restored to its position over the cover E, the head riding on the same until
it reaches the depressed centre of said cover, when it seats itself thereon, thus firmly
closing the cover.
In order to provide a tight joint between the bottle and cover, the top of the former
is provided with a gasket or packing N, against which the cover is pressed by the
action of the head H.
In order to prevent the gasket from being displaced should the cover adhere to the
same, it is desirable to hold said gasket rigidly on its seat. This may be accomplished
by any suitable fastenings, such as pins, screws &c., or by lockin tongues of dove-
[Price i

recesses in the rim of the body on which the gasket is seated.
Within the compartment C, is a cup C, which may be removed from the same,
when so desired, the sides of said cup being grooved to receive the inwardly projecting
portion C2, of the wall of said compartment, thus preventing the cup from entering
the compartiment, the inner wall of the cup forming the divisional wall of the com-
partments C, D, the scraper L being formed or connected with said wall, and
supported by the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what i
claim is :-
First. A bottle or holder for mucilage, ink, or the like, having a body with two
compartments therein, a single cover for both compartments, and a brush secured to
said cover, and adapted to enter one of said compartments, when the cover is closed.
said parts being combined, substantially as described.
Second. A bottle or holder for mucilage, ink or the like, having two compartments
therein, a scraper secured to the divisional wall of said compartments, and extending
into one end thereof, a single cover for both compartments, and a brush secured to
said cover, and adapted when the cover is closed, to depend in the compartment not
having the scraper, said parts being combined, substantially as described.
Third. A bottle or holder for mucilage, ink, or the like, having two compartments
therein, a single cover for said compartments, with a brush, the latter adapted to
enter one of said compartments when the cover is closed, and a swinging arm
having an elastic head bearing against said cover, when the same is closed, said parts
being combined substantially as described.
Fourth. A bottle or holder for mucilage, ink or the like, having a cover, and a
swinging arm adapted to raise when adjusted to one side, and having an elastic
head to engage said cover, substantially as described.
Fifth. A mucilage bottle or holder having a cover, a threaded boss, and a swinging
arm having a threaded supporting cap fitted on said boss, and carrying a head Hat
its free end, substantially as described.
Sixth. A bottle substantially as described, an upright wall in said bottle, and a
scraper L formed with a depending form M, which is removably fitted over said wall,
for the purpose set forth.
Seventh. A bottle for mucilage, ink or the like having different compartments, and
a removable cup occupying one of the same, the inner wall of said cup forming the
divisional wall of the compartments, said parts being combined, substantially as
described.
Eighth. A bottle for mucilage, ink or the like, having different compartments, and
a removable cup in one of the same, the wall of the bottle having necks, and that of
the cup having grooves which receive said necks, the parts named being combined
substantially as described.
Ninth. A bottle for mucilage ink or the like, having different compartments, and a
removable
scraper, whoccupying one of the same, the inner wall of said cup supporting a
projects over the other compartiment, and forming the divisional wall
of the compartments, substantially as described.
