PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Rack and Attachment for Holding Brushes or other
Articles.
CHARLES EARDLEY BILLING Manufacturer 8 Smarts Buildings High Holborn
London Middlesex'do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improved rack and attachment for holding brushes or other articles.
The invention consists of a wood or other material back to which is fastened a
shaped band or staple to admit of brush passing through and a second staple
shaped band which is filled in with a stop plate to support the lower end of the
brush so arranged as to retain the brush in its position.
The advantage of my invention consists in its furnishing either a rack which
can be suspended in the hall or stand with an easel back on any table it can also
be fastened to any hall stand or for cabins of ships &c. to hold brushes in their
position.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood I have appended
hereto a sheet of drawings illustrating it.
Fig. 1 is a front view of the rack brush holder with the brushes in their
position.
Fig. 2 is the side view of the rack brush holder with one of the brushes showing
the brush in its resting position.
On reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that A A shows the front of the shaped
staples which the brushes pass through and by, which they are held in position
and B. B. or the lower staples contains the stop plates.
Fig. 2 shows side view of the staple A for holding brush and B side view of
lower staple with stop plate inserted.
I have in drawings shown what I consider the clearest illustration for carrying
out my invention but from this slight modification may be made without departing
from the principle thereof.
Dated this June 25th 1890.
