PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Brush and Cap or Stopper for Mucilage and
Paste Bottles.
I, JOHN PEIRCE HARDING of 13 Northampton Park, Canonbury, London N'
Examining Officer of Customs, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows :-
'
My invention has for its object to enable the depth to which the brush dips into
a mucilage or paste bottle to be readily regulated according to the height at which
the contents stand in the said bottle so as on the one hand to prevent the brush and
its stem becoming clogged by an excessive quantity of adhesive material and on the
other hand to prevent the material drying in the brush by remaining for a prolonged
period out of the contents of the bottle when not in use.
The invention consists in screw threading the stem of the brush and the hole
through cap or stopper so that the height of the brush may be adjusted by screwing
it up or down as may be required through the cap or stopper.
In order to ensure the permanent connection of the brush with its stem the metal
socket of the brush has a screw thread cut or creased in it or in a tubular coupling
piece soldered or otherwise connected to the socket, into which the brush stem is
screwed and the joint may be strengthened by a central screw-pin screwing both
into the stem and into the plug or fitting of the brush socket.

An Improved Brush and Cap or Stopper for Mucilage and
Paste Bottles.
I, JOHN PEIRCE HARDING of 13 Northampton Park, Canonbury, London, N.
Examining Officer of Customs, 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 :-
My invention relates to mucilage or paste brushes and has for its object to enable
the depth of immersion of the brush to be regulated according to the level of the
contents of the bottle, so as, on the one hand, to prevent the brush and its stem
taking up an excessive quantity of adhesive material, and on the other hand to
prevent the brush drying by remaining for a prolonged period out of the mucilage
or paste.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing which represents a
brush and cap for a mucilage or paste bottle, the cap being shown in section.
The invention consists in screw threading the stem a of the brush b and likewise
the hole through the cap e so that the height of the brush may be adjusted to suit
the level of the gum or paste by screwing the stem up or down as may be required
through the cap c.
The stem a may be made of wood or other material capable of being easily screw
threaded, and not liable to act on, or be acted on by, the gum or paste, and the
cape may be made of the same material. It has a groove d at the underside
י..D

page_text: adapted to fit on the edge of the bottle mouth, and the central boss e may either
enter the bottle mouth loosely, or be adapted to fit therein like a cork or stopper,
or the outer flange f of the cap may be adapted to fit closely around the bottle
mouth to prevent drying of the contents by evaporation. The brush is provided
with a metal socket g in which the end of the stem a is received and secured by any
suitable means.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The herein described improvement in mucilage and paste brushes consisting in
the screw threaded stem screwing through a correspondingly screwed cap or
stopper, whereby the depth of immersion of the brush may be regulated as
described.
