PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Paint Pots and the like.
I, CHARLES RICHARD GORRINGE 4 Hornsey Rise Gardens London N. do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to paint pots and the like and consists in providing same
with a movable band or rim which carries a bar or strip of suitable material for
the purpose of allowing the user to wipe the brush against the bar or strip so as
to remove the surplus paint, varnish or substance being employed, from the brush,
thus dispensing with pieces of string being tied or fixed across the top of the
paint pot or the like. I also provide the bottom of the paint pot or the like with
3 or more pointed feet or spikes which render the pot more steady on a support
when mixing paint in the same.

I, CHARLES RICHARD GORRINGE 4 Hornsey Rise Gardens London N.
Gentleman, 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 paint pots and the like and consists in providing same
with a movable band or rim which carries a bar or strip of suitable material for
the purpose of allowing the user to wipe the brush against the bar or strip so as
to remove the surplus paint, varnish or substance being employed, from the brush,
thus dispensing with pieces of string being tied or fixed across the top of the
paint pot or the like. I also provide the bottom of the paint pot or the like with
three or more pointed feet or spikes which render the pot more steady on a support
when mixing paint in the same.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now refer to the annexed
drawing in which:
Figure 1, is a side elevation of a paint pot embodying my invention.
Figure 2, plan view of the detachable rim and cross bar or strip.
Figure 3, plan view of the bottom of paint pot showing the pointed feet or
spikes.
a is the paint pot having the detachable rim b which encircles the top of the
paint pot.
c is a cross bar or strip attached to the rim b, which has the ring or
grip d for facilitating the removal of the rim b.
The brush is wiped upon the cross bar or strip c. e, Figure 1, and 3 are the
pointed feet or spikes. By the use of this detachable rim and cross bar or strip
the necessity for tying pieces of string across the top of the paint pot is removed
as the brush can be wiped upon the cross bar or strip. The pointed feet or spikes
render the paint pot much more steady when mixing paint or such like.

page_text: 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. An improved paint pot provided with a detachable band or rim having a
cross bar or strip, pointed feet or spikes upon the bottom of said paint pot for the
purpose of rendering same more steady when in use.
