PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Mucilage Bottles or
Receptacles.
I, CHAUNCEY SEYMOUR KELLOGG, resident of McComb, in the County of
Pike, and State of Mississippi, U.S.A. Assistant Postmaster, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to mucilage bottles, and the object thereof, is to provide
an improvement in this class of devices whereby the mucilage bottle or receptacle
is provided with a removable cap or cover through which a spiral passage is formed
which is adapted to receive the spiral handle of a mucilage brush, whereby the
mucilage brush may be raised or lowered within the bottle or receptacle by simply
turning the handle thereof; a further object being to provide a mucilage bottle or
receptacle with an improved base or support, and with this and other objects in
view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of
parts hereinafter described.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a bottle or receptacle, which may be
of any desired form, and the upper portion of which is provided with an annular
outwardly directed bead or shoulder and I also provide a removable cap or cover,
having a depending flange or rim, which is adapted to rest upon the annular bead
or shoulder, and the cap or cover is provided with a central projection, in which is
formed a spiral passage, and I also provide a brush having a spiral handle, and
provided at its upper end with a head, which may be of any desired form.
The spiral handle, is passed through the spiral passage, in the cap or cover, and
the brush is afterwards connected therewith, and by simply turning the spiral
handle by means of the bead, the position of the brush within the bottle or
receptacle may be raised or lowered, and said brush may thus always be kept
within the mucilage, and will not become dry and hard, and rendered useless as
frequently occurs in this class of devices.
In the construction, the bottle or receptacle is provided with a base, which is
formed integral therewith, but in the construction, I provide a wire cage or frame
therefor, comprising a ring which is adapted to enclose the bottle or receptacle
below the annular bead or shoulder, and depending and outwardly directed side
arms or braces, the lower ends of which are inwardly directed, and provided with
flat supports or holders which are adapted to receive the lower end of the bottle.
or receptacle, and in this form of construction, the lower end of the bottle or
receptacle is preferably contracted, and smaller in cross section than the upper end
thereof.

I, CHAUNCEY SEYMOUR KELLOGG residing at McComb, in the County of
Pike, and State of Mississippi, United States of America, Assistant Postmaster,
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 mucilage bottles, and the object thereof, is to provide
an improvement in this class of devices whereby the mucilage bottle or receptacle
is provided with a removable cap or cover through which a spiral passage is formed
which is adapted to receive the spiral handle of a mucilage brush, whereby the
mucilage brush may be raised or lowered within the bottle or receptacle by simply
turning the handle thereof; a further object being to provide a mucilage bottle or
receptacle with an improved base or support, and with this and other objects in
view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of
parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which :-
Fig. 1, is a perspective view of one form of my improved mucilage bottle or
receptacle ;
Fig. 2, a similar view of a modification; and,
Fig. 3, a transverse vertical section of the form of construction shown in Fig. 2,
showing also the mucilage brush in position therein.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a bottle or receptacle A, which may
be of any desired form, and the upper portion of which is provided with an annular
outwardly directed bead or shoulder B, and I also provide a removable cap or
cover D, having a depending flange or rim d, which is adapted to rest upon the
annular bead or shoulder B, and the cap or cover D is provided with a central
projection d 2, in which is formed a spiral passage d 3, and I also provide a brush E,
having a spiral handle F, and provided at its upper end with a head G, which may
be of any desired form.
The spiral handle F is passed through the spiral passage d3 in the cap or
cover D, and the brush E is afterwards connected therewith, and by simply turning
the spiral handle F, by means of the head G, the position of the brush within the
bottle or receptacle A, may be raised or lowered, and said brush may thus always
be kept within the mucilage, and will not become dry and hard, and rendered
useless as frequently occurs in this class of devices.
In the construction shown in Figs. 2, and 3, the bottle or receptacle is provided
with a base H, which is formed integral therewith, but in the construction shown
in Fig. 1, I provide a wire cage or frame therefor, comprising a ring K, which is
adapted to enclose the bottle or receptacle below the annular bead or shoulder B,
and depending or outwardly directed side arms or braces L, the lower ends of
which are inwardly directed as shown at M, and provided with flat supports or
holders m which are adapted to receive the lower end of the bottle or receptacle,
and in this form of construction, the lower end of the bottle or receptacle is
preferably contracted, and smaller in cross section than the upper end thereof.
My invention, however, is not limited to the form of the bottle or receptacle, or
to the base or support connected therewith, and I reserve the right to make all
such alterations therein, and modifications thereof, as fairly come within the scope
of the invention.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A mucilage bottle or receptacle constructed as herein described and as shown
in the drawing.
2. A mucilage bottle, or receptacle provided with a removable cap or cover,
through which is formed a spiral passage, and a brush provided with a spiral
handle which is adapted to be passed through said spiral passage, whereby the
position of the brush within the bottle or receptacle may be adjusted, said spiral
handle being provided at its upper end with a head by which it is operated, and
said bottle or receptacle being provided with a base or support, consisting of a wire
frame, substantially as shown and described.
3. A mucilage bottle or receptacle, substantially as herein shown and described,
provided with an annular outwardly directed flange near the top thereof, and an
inwardly directed annular flange below said first mentioned flange, and a removable
cap or cover, a depending peripheral rim or flange adapted to enclose the top of
the bottle and to rest upon said first mentioned flange, said cap being provided
with a central extension or projection in which is formed a spiral opening adapted
to receive the handle of the brush which is formed of wire provided with spiral or
wave like curves, at one end of which is formed a handle all arranged and operating,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
