A New or Improved Tool for Pointing and Painting.
We, ALBERT HENRY PEPPERILL, Builder, of 40 Kimberley Road, Nunhead,
and JOHN HENRY PHILLIPS, Jeweller, of 2 Bournemouth Road, Rye Lane,
Peckham, both in the County of Surrey, 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 :-
Our invention relates to a new or improved tool for pointing and painting.
The said tool consists of a bag or reservoir, composed of india rubber or other
impervious material on which is fitted a metal nozzle. To this nozzle is attached a
tube, and to the mouthpiece of this said tube a spreader is attached or a brush as
required.
We attain our object by compressing the before mentioned bag or reservoir
thereby forcing the mortar or paint through the mouthpiece on to the brick, stone
or other materials, requiring the operation of the said tool.
And in order that our invention may be thoroughly understood, we now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a back elevation of the tool.
Fig. 2, is a side elevation.
Fig. 3, is a vertical section of a brush and funnel fitted to a tube.
Figs. 4, 5, and 6, are sliding mouthpieces or spreaders of various shapes.
In carrying our invention into practice we provide an india rubber reservoir k
and in the opening of the said reservoir k we fix a nozzle i, by a ring nut 1, the

page_text: said nozzle i is provided with a flange j at the base, and a male screw on the
outside. On the nozzle i we fit a tapered tube g which has a compressed outlet
or mouth b at the top. Over the outlet or mouth b we attach a mouth piece or
spreader a hereinafter described... At the base of the tube 9 we fix two
finger supports also another support h¹ on the ring nut 1 for the purpose of
grasping the apparatus by the first, second and third fingers so as to operate the
india rubber reservoir k by the thumb.
The mouth piece or spreader a is constructed of any suitable shape, and is
connected by a front strap d to a belt or ring f. At the back of the said spreader
as in Fig. 1, we fix a long back strap e which passes through the belt or ring so
that when the mouth piece or spreader a is pressed over the outlet or mouth 6 of the
tube g it can be rigidly fixed by a set screw c.
We do not bind ourselves to construct the mouth pieces or spreaders a of any
particular shape shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, as it is evident we may adopt a
large number of various shape spreaders without departing from the nature of our
invention.
If preferable we may make an apparatus with a brush m as in Fig. 3, having a
straight tube g (or tapered) and an inverted funnel n this said funnel extends up
the bristles of the brush m. The funnel n is movable so that it can be taken out
for cleaning purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In a tool for pointing and painting, the combination of the sliding mouth
piece or spreader a front strap d back strap e belt or ring set screw c tapered
tube y compressed outlet or mouth 6 finger supports 'h and h', and the nozzle with
the flange ring nut and the india rubber reservoir k, substantially as herein
described and according to Figs. 1, and 2, of the accompanying drawing.
2. In a tool for pointing and painting, the combination of the various parts
herein above described in this specification for the purpose specified.
3. In a sliding mouth piece or spreader, the combination of the spreader a front
strap d back strap e belt or ring f and set screw c, substantially as herein described
and according to the accompanying drawings.
4. A sliding mouth piece or spreader constructed in the manner herein described
and according to Figs. 4, 5, and 6, of the accompanying drawing.
