.COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Receptacles for Liquids with Adjustable Brush-
squeezing Apparatus.
I, FRIEDRICH WILHELM REHSE, Dealer in shoes and the like, of 35, Altenmarkt,
Barmen, in the Empire of Germany, 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 a receptacle for liquids, in combination with a brush-
squeezing apparatus.
In the accompanying drawing, two forms of the invention are shown.,
Fig. 1 represents a receptacle in elevation, with the squeezing apparatus
arranged in the interior thereof.
Fig. 2 is an underside plan of the top of the receptacle showing the position
of the squeezing apparatus.
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation showing the mounting of the squeezing apparatus.
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of a receptacle fitted with a modified form of
squeezing apparatus.
Fig. 5 is a similar view to Fig. 4, showing the squeezing apparatus in operation.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 3.
On the inner surface of the receptacle cover a, a semi-circular piece c is arranged
around the admission opening b vertically below the funnel or neck d. The
piece serves as a support for the brush.
The squeezer consists of a rectangularly bent wire which is carried through
the cover a in such a manner that its longer arm e is brought immediately below
the admission opening b, as soon as the squeezer is operated by means of the
handle f on the shorter armi e¹.
By means of the spring g, the squeezer, after being operated is automatically
brought back again into its normal position.
The action of the apparatus illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3 is as follows:-
After the brush has been inserted in the vessel, and partially drawn out, as
illustrated in Fig. 1, the squeezer is rotated from its normal position shown in
Fig. 2, into the position indicated by dotted lines, the handle f being pushed
in the direction of the neck d of the vessel. The brush is now tightly squeezed
between the piece c and the squeezer e, a larger or smaller quantity of the liquid
being pressed out of the brush according to the degree of the pressure.
As soon as the handle f is released, the squeezer is carried by the action of the
spring g, back again to its normal position.
The form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 4 is identical as regards action
and employment as that shown in Figs. 1 to 3.
The squeezer which is carried through the neck of the vessel consists of the
rod h, with the handle i, and the pressing piece k, fixed at a right angle to the rod.
Around the rod h, a spiral spring is wound. The squeezer is guided by moving
the handle i in a groove formed in the cover a of the eceptacle.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. A receptacle for liquids, with adjustable brush-squeezing apparatus, dis-
tinguished by a wire e el bent at right angles and carried through the receptacle
cover a, and the arm e of which in the interior of the vessel is brought immediately
below the funnel or neck d by pressing the handle f and acts with a greater
or less degree of pressure against the inserted brush.
2. A brush-squeezer, the distinguishing feature of which is that a rod b, with a
pressing piece k, is passed through the neck of the receptacle, and pushed (by
pressure of the handle i, which is moved in a groove m formed in the receptacle
cover a), in the direction of the opposite side of the neck of such receptacle, and
thus presses against the inserted brush.
