Improvements in or relating to Glue Pots and analogous Vessels.
I, WILLIAM WILSON of 5 Johnstone Terrace, Edinburgh, N.B. Bookbinder, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to effect improvements in glue pots and analogous
vessels, whereby the following advantages ensue :-
1. Less room on the bench is occupied.
2. More cleanly and less waste of the glue or other material being used.
3. The handle of the brush does not become soiled and the bristles are preserved
from being burnt or torn out or spread out of shape.
4. The depth to which the brush dips when out of use is limited.
5. Sediment or foreign matter in the glue or other material is separated and is
incapable of being spread on the work.
According to my invention I form the glue pot or analogous vessel (hereinafter
referred to as "glue pot") of an oval or elliptical shape and provided with the usual
water jacket and handles, the bottom of the glue pot being sunk or dished at one end
to collect the sediment, and the sunk portion being provided with a suitable grid or
perforated lid if preferred.
One or more wire or wires or bar or bars is, or are, fitted to the glue pot
above the level of the liquid glue and preferably from side to side at or near the
minor axis, whereby the excess of glue may be removed from the brush instead of on
the side of the glue pot as heretofore.
At one end of the pot I provide a vertical rod bent at its upper end as a hook or
formed with a clip from which to suspend the brush, the position of the brush
relatively to the glue being adjustable if preferred. At the same end of the pot a
shelf is fitted below the level of the melted glue to support the brush and prevent its
sinking too deep in the liquid when out of use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Glue Pots and analogous Vessels.
I, WILLIAM WILSON of 5 Johnstone Terrace Edinburgh N.B. Bookbinder, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The object of my invention is to effect improvements in glue pots and analogous
vessels, whereby the following advantages ensue.
1. Less room on the bench is occupied.
2. More cleanly and less waste of the glue or other material being used.

page_text: 3. The handle of the brush does not become soiled and the bristles are preserved
from being burnt or torn out or spread out of shape.
4. The depth to which the brush dips when out of use is limited.
5. Sediment or foreign matter in the glue or other material is separated and is
incapable of being spread on the work.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts; and which drawings illustrate my improve-
ments applied to a glue pot.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 2 is a plan of same.
According to my invention I form the glue pot or analogous vessel a (hereinafter
referred to as "glue pot") of an oval or elliptical shape and provided with the usual
water jacket 6 and handles, the bottom of the glue pot being sunk or dished as shown
at eat one end to collect the sediment, and the sunk portion being provided with a
suitable grid d or perforated lid if preferred.
One or more wire or wires e or bar or bars is or are fitted to the glue pot above
the level of the liquid glue and preferably from side to side at or near the minor axis,
whereby the excess of glue may be removed from the brush instead of on the side of
the glue pot as heretofore.
At one end of the pot I provide a vertical rod f bent at its upper end as a hook g
or formed with a clip from which to suspend the brush, the position of the brush
relatively to the glue being adjustable if preferred. At the same end of the pot a
shelf is fitted below the level of the melted glue to support the brush and prevent
its sinking too deep in the liquid when out of use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The improved glue or other pot or vessel, substantially as described.
2. In glue pots and analogous vessels forming the bottom with a sunk portion and
grid and one or more wire or wires, for collecting the sediment and removing the
excess of fluid from the brush respectively, substantially as described.
3. In a glue pot or analogous vessels the application and use of a hook or clip and
a shelf substantially as and for the purposes described.
