PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Suspending Brushes within Bottles Containing
Gum, Paste, or other Adhesive Material.
I GEORGE MUSGROVE of 24 Endymion Road, Brixton Hill, Surrey, Surveyor,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows .—
In
This invention relates to improvements in means for suspending brushes within
bottles containing gum, paste, or other adhesive material, so that the said brushes
whilst being held in the necks of the bottles ready for use, are at the same time,
kept out of contact with the contents of the same, when they are not in use
the opening or mouth of the bottle fits a flanged metal bush, or cylinder, t, the
lower end of which are fixed the upper ends of two elastic cords, whose other
ends are secured to, and carry a hollow comical shaped support for the bush made
of metal or other suitable material.
The brush is passed through the metal bush, or cylinder, and the hollow conical
support, the opening at the small or lower cnt of the latter, permitting only the
bristle portion of the brush to pass through and dip into the adhesive material
contained in the bottle, when the bush is pressed down.
When the pressure is removed from the bush, the aforesaid elastic cords pull it
up, and keep it out of contact with the contents of the bottle.
As my improvements are capable of some modification, without departing from
the punciple thereof, I do not restrict myself to material, dimensions, or the exact
size of my hollow comical support, or length of elastic employ in my improved
means for supporting brushes in bottles as aforesaid
Dated this 4th day of October 1894.

Improved Means for Suspending Brushes within Bottles Containing
Gum, Paste, or other Adhesive Material.
J, GEORGE MUSGROVE, of 24, Endymion Road, Brixton Hill, Surrey, England,
Surveyor, 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 an improved gum bottle and is designed to provide a
simple and efficient arrangement for insing the brush out of the gum when not in
use, whilst allowing perfect freedom for dipping it into the gum at any time
desired.
For this purpose I provide the gum bottle with a tuunel shaped cap having a
circular opening at its lower part, and a depressible thimble or ferrule, in which
the bush is supported, fitting over this lower part and normally held up to it by a
spal spring. This spring is sufficiently flexible to yield readily when it is
required to depress the brush into the gum, but serves on the brush being released
to lift it out of the gum.

page_text: And in order that the invention may be readily understood will proceed to
describe the same by aid of the accompanying diawings in which Fig 119
vertical central section of my improved gum bottle Fig 2 is a plan thereof, the
cap being removed, Fig 3 shows the cap separate from the bottle and Fig. 4 is a
pait side elevation showing the shape of the neck of the bottle
are
a is the gum bottle proper, whose neck 15 or may be provided with ornamental
projections and collars as shown in Fig. 4, and has at its upper part a projecting
edge a¹
16 the funnel shaped cap which has a im adapted to fit upon the
edge and provided with clips for whose passage corresponding recesses a³
formed in the edge a'. By this construction, alter the cap has been placed m
position a slight tuin will cause the clips to engage under the edge a' after the
manner of a bayonet joint thereby holding the cap securely on the bottle
c 19 the
depressible thimble o ferrule which supports the bush d, and e is the spring which
suiounds the funnel shaped cap and seives to keep this thimble or ferrule normally
in its raised position so that the brush is out of the gum when not in use, as shown
in Fig. 1 The depressed position of the thimble oi feule c is shown in Fig. 3,
this being approximately the position it assumes when the brush is immersed in the
gum, prior to using the same.
The inproved gum bottle is used in the same manner as an ordinary gum bottle,
the cap being readily disengaged by a slight turn, permitting the withdrawal of the
brush Irom the bottle.
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
claun is
(1.) A gum bottle having its cap provided with a depressible thumble o ferrule
supporting the brush, and with a spring for keeping such thimble or ferrule
normally in its nised position substantially as described.
(2) The combination in a gum bottle of a funnel shaped cap, a depressible
thimble or fei rule supporting the brush and fitting over the lower part of such
funnel shaped cap, and a spiral spring surrounding the funnel shaped cap and
secured thereto and to the thimble o feule so as to keep the latter normally in
its raised position substantially as described
(3) The combination in a gum bottle of a bottle proper having a recessed upper
edge, a funnel shaped cap provided with chips to engage said edge and a depressible
thimble or ferrule normally held in its raised position by a spring substantially as
described.
(4) The combination of the gum bottle proper provided with the projecting
edge a' recessed at a the funnel shaped cap b piovided with the m 6' and clips 2,
the depressible thimble or leule c and the sping d for retaining the said thimble
or fenule normally in its raised position, substantially as described.
Date this 5th day of Apul 1895.
