County of Middlesex for an Invention of " IMPROVEMENTS IN BRUSHES OF
TIDIOTS TANG "
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles Jack at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 12th February 1883.
CHARLES JACK, of 38 Hall Street, Goswell Road in the County of Middlesex,
"IMPROVEMENTS IN BRUSHES OF VARIOUS KINDS
"
This invention relates to improvements in brushes of various kinds and is
applicable to hair brushes tooth and nail brushes flesh brushes clothes brushes boot
and shoe brushes black lead brushes scouring or scrubbing brushes paint and white-
wash brushes in fact to any kind of brush used for applying materials liquid or
powder for various purposes.
For this purpose in applying my invention a reservoir or receptacle is formed in
the back, handle or other part of the brush into which oil, liquid, powder, or other
material may be introduced and discharged therefrom in suitable quantities by the
user, touching or pressing a spring lever or other contrivance to open the discharge
orifice or orifices as required.
The reservoir for containing oil or other liquid or material applied to a hair or
other brush in accordance with my invention may either consist of a metal vessel
let into the back or handle of the brush or the back or handle may be made hollow
and be lined or coated inside with any suitable non porous material such as
shellac.
A filling orifice with a screw or other cap is arranged in the back a discharge
orifice or orifices being formed in the front and having a valve which is opened to
discharge the contents of the reservoir as required by pressing upon the cover of
the filling orifice which acts to compress the air within the reservoir and thus
discharge the contents.
.
The discharge valve and orifice may be arranged to open and discharge the
contents of the reservoir by the pressure exerted in using the brush the reservoir

page_text: or receptacle being filled with sponge or other absorbent material to prevent the
oil or other liquid from being discharged too freely.
When the reservoir of a brush is arranged to contain powder it is discharged
therefrom by compressing the air therein part of the reservoir being arranged to
collapse and the discharge orifices being opened simultaneously thereby
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by
the said Charles Jack in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 11th August
-1883.
CHARLES JACK of 38 Hall Street Goswell Road in the County of Middlesex
"IMPROVEMENTS IN BRUSHES OF VARIOUS KINDS
"
This Invention relates to improvements in brushes of various kinds and is
applicable to hair brushes tooth and nail brushes flesh brushes clothes brushes
boot and shoe brushes black lead brushes scouring or scrubbing brushes paint and
whitewash brushes in fact to any kind of brush used for applying materials liquid
or powder for various purposes.
For this purpose in applying my invention to brushes of various kinds a
reservoir or receptacle is formed in the back handle or other part of the brush
(according to the purpose to which the brush is applied) into which oil liquid
powder or other material may be introduced and discharged therefrom in suitable
quantities by the user touching or pressing a spring lever or other contrivance to
open the discharge orifice or orifices as required.
The reservoir for containing oil or other liquid or material applied to a hair or
other brush in accordance with my invention may either consist of a metal vessel
let into the back or handle of the brush or the back or handle may be made hollow
and be lined or coated inside with any suitable non porous material such as
shellac.
A filling orifice with a screw or other cap is arranged in the back or other part
of the brush a discharge orifice or orifices being formed in the front and having a
valve which is opened to discharge the contents of the reservoir as required by
pressing upon the cover of the filling orifice which acts to compress the air within
the reservoir and thus discharge the contents.
The discharge valve and orifice may be arranged to open and discharge the
contents of the reservoir by the pressure exerted in using the brush the reservoir
or receptacle being filled with sponge or other absorbent material to prevent the
oil or other liquid from being discharged too freely.
When the reservoir of a brush is arranged to contain powder it is discharged
therefrom by compressing the air therein part of the reservoir being arranged to
collapse and the discharge orifices being opened simultaneously thereby.
It will be evident that various means and contrivances may be employed for
opening and closing the discharge orifices for discharging the contents of the

page_text: reservoir or receptacle applied to a brush in accordance with my invention conse-
quently I have not thought it necessary to show any particular form or arrangement
of reservoir or receptacle applied to a brush as a competent brush maker or mechanic
will readily carry out and apply my improvements to brushes of various kinds
aided by the foregoing description thereof.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention and the manner of performing
or carrying the same into practice I would remark that I make no claim to any of
the parts of a brush separately which are well known and in common use But what
I claim is:
The improved arrangement combination and application to brushes of various
kinds of a reservoir or receptacle for holding and discharging oil liquid powder
or other materials therefrom substantially in the manner and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.
In witness whereof I the said Charles Jack have hereunto set my hand
and seal this Tenth day of August in the year of our Lord One thousand
aight hundred and eighty three.
