Improvements in and relating to Mucilage Bottles or Receptacles..
I, PATRICK GEORGE MCCOLLAM residing at No. 214 Greenwood Avenue,.
Canon City, in the County of Fremont, and State of Colorado, United States of
America, Carpenter and Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
This invention relates to mucilage bottles, and the object thereof, is to provide:
an improved bottle or vessel of this class, the neck of which is provided with a.
removable attachment which is tubular in form, and provided with a hinged or
pivoted cap or cover, said tubular part of the attachment being also provided
with means for holding the brush, and at the lower end thereof, with means for
removing the surplus mucilage from the brush.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which :-
Fig. 1, is a central vertical section of my improved mucilage bottle; and,
Fig. 2, a plan view thereof.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a bottle 5, which may be of any
desired form, and which is provided with a neck 6, and I also provide a neck
attachment consisting of a short tube which is adapted to closely fit the inner
walls of the neck 6, and which is provided at its upper end with an annular flang: 8,
which rests on said neck, and at one side of the lower end thereof, with an inwar.lly
directed flange or projection 9, which is seg.nental in form, as shown in Fig. 2.
The upper portion of the tube 7, opposite the inwardly directed flange 9, is
provided with a yoke shaped attachment 10, which is secured thereto, and which is
adapted to serve as a holder for the handle of the brush, and which is preferably
composed of spring wire, and the flange 8, of the tube 7, is provided at one side
with an arm or projection 11, and I also provide a circular convex cap or cover 12,
which is provided at one side with an arm or projection 13, by which it is pivotally
connected at 14, with the arm or projection 11, of the tubular attachment 7, and
said cap or cover is provided at one side thereof, with a semi-circular notch or
recess 15, which is directly over the brush holder 10, when the cap or cover is
closed.
The tubular attachment is detachable from the neck and may be removed and
cleaned whenever desired, and no mucilage cau come in contact with the neck of
the bottle in the operation of this device, and the shape of the flange 9, is such
that the surplus mucilage removed thereby from the brush, will drop back into the
bottle.
The attachment may be composed of any desired material, sheet metal or hard
rubber being preferred, and it is evident that changes in, and modifications of the
construction herein described, may be made without departing from the spirit of
my invention or sacrificing its advantages.
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 :-
1. A mucilage bottle provided with a neck, and a removable attachment con-
isting of a short tube, which is adanted to be inserted into the nook and which is

page_text: provided with an annular flange which rests thereon, and a cap pivotally connected
therewith, substantially as shown and described.
2. A mucilage bottle provided with a neck, and a removable attachment con-
sisting of a short tube, which is adapted to be inserted into the neck, and which is
provided with an annular flange which rests thereon, and a cap pivotally connected
therewith, said tube being provided at its upper end with a spring yoke shaped
holder for the handle of the brush, and said cap being provided adjacent thereto,
with a semi-circular notch or recess through which the handle of the brush passes,
substantially as shown and described.
3. A mucilage bottle provided with a neck, and a removable attachment con-
sisting of a short tube, which is adapted to be inserted into the neck, and which is
provided with an annular flange which rests thereon, and a cap pivotally connected
therewith, said tube being provided at its upper end with a spring yoke shaped
holder for the handle of the brush, and said cap being provided adjacent thereto,
with a semi-circular notch or recess through which the handle of the brush passes,
and the lower end of the tubular attachment being provided at one side with a
segmental inwardly and downwardly directed flange, as and for the purpose set
forth.
