PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Jars for Varnish, Paint, or other like substances.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM NEEDHAM, of Branston Street Works, in the city of
Birmingham, Warwickshire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
-
This invention relates to improvements in jars for varnish, paint, or the like
purposes and consists as follows:-
The jar is made preferably of earthenware but may be made of other suitable
material. Near the upper edge of the vessel is made an outstanding lip, which
forms a channel or gutter between it and the body. Preferably this is an all
around channel. At the bottom of this channel are holes which pass through
into the interior of the body. The upper edge of the body proper is made with
a number of concave or the like notches, the bottom part of which stand slightly
above the level of the outer lip. These concave notches serve the useful purpose
of more perfectly directing the superfluous varnish &c off the brush when the
latter is drawn across the same. Also they serve as rest whereon the brush may
be laid, when not in use, without fear of rolling off, while the outer channel or
gutter further collects and returns to the interior of the vessel, all drippings upon
the outside, and thus prevents all waste of varnish &c.

Improvements in Jars for Varnish, Paint, or like substances.
I FREDERICK WILLIAM NEEDHAM, of Branston Street Works, in the city of
Birmingham, Warwickshire, Manufacturer, 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 improvements in jars for varnish, paint or the like
purposes and consists as follows; and in order to more particularly explain the
nature of this my invention and in what manner the same may be performed,
I have appended hereunto an illustrative drawing, upon which are figures and
numbers of reference, similar numbers referring to similar parts throughout.
Fig. 1, is an external view of this my improved jar.
Fig. 2, is a plan view of the jar.
Fig. 3. is a vertical sectional view of the jar.

page_text: 5, is the jar which is preferably made of earthenware but may be made of other
suitable material. Near the upper edge of the vessel is made an outstanding
lip 6, which forms a channel or gutter 7, between it and the body. Preferably
this is an all around channel. At the bottom of this channel are holes 8, which
pass through into the interior of the body. The upper edge of the body proper
is made with a number of concave or the like notches 9, the bottom part of which
stand slightly above the level of the outer lip 6. These concave notches serve
the useful purpose of more perfectly directing the superfluous varnish &c off
the brush when the latter is drawn across the same. Also principally they serve
as a rest whereon the brush may be laid, when not in use, without fear of rolling
off, while the outer channel gutter further collects and returns to the interior of
the vessel, all drippings upon the outside, and thus prevents all waste of
varnish &c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
:-
The combination in a jar for varnish, paint or other like purposes comprising
the jar 5, having the lip 6, holes 8, and the notches 9, all substantially as set
forth and shown.
