PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Adjustable Holder for Paint, White-wash and other
Brushes.
We, WILLIAM WALKER KINNIBURGII, of 30, Park Terrace, Airdrie, Pattern-
maker, and WALTER BARR, 31, Stirling Street, Airdrie, Painter, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
―
This invention relates to holders for paint,, white-wash and other brushes and
it has for its object to provide a simple and efficient device by means of which the
brush may be adjusted to and held in any desired working position.
The holder preferably consists of a tubular part into which fits a pole, handle,
or such like of any suitable length. The pole or handle if desired, may be secured
in place in the holder by means of one or more screws or equivalent devices.
Fitted to or made one with the top of the tubular part is an arc or quadrant or
the like which has a series of holes made in it. Working radially on the quadrant
is a rectangular or other shaped frame which is provided with pinching screws
for holding the brush securely therein. The frame has a double projecting arm
working on both sides of the arc or quadrant and secured movably to the centre
thereof by means of a rivet, screw, or such like. The double projecting arm
has a hole made in it and screwed for the reception of a pinching screw which
can be passed through any one of the series of holes formed in the arc or quadrant
thereby locking the frame carrying the brush securely in any desired position.
By shifting the pinching screw from one hole to another in the quadrant or arc
as above mentioned the brush can be held in either a vertical, horizontal or inclined
position.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Adjustable Holder for Paint, White-wash and other
Brushes.
We, WILLIAM WALKER KINNIBURGH, of 30, Park Terrace, Airdrie, Pattern-
maker, and WALTER BARR, 31, Stirling Street, Airdrie, Painter, 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 holders for paint, white-wash and other brushes and

page_text: it has for its object to provide a simple and efficient device by means of which the
brush may be adjusted to and held in any desired working position.
And in order that our said invention may be properly understood we have here-
unto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. I is a side elevation of the adjustable holder.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the adjustable holder.
The holder consists of a tubular part or socket a into which the pole, handle,
or such like, b, is inserted. This pole or handle, which may be of any suitable
length, may be held in place in the socket by means of one or more screws if so
desired. Made one with the top of the socket is an extension whose edge c¹ con-
stitutes the arc of a circle and which is made with a series of holes or indenta-
tions d. This extension c I will hereinafter refer to as the "
radially on the arc is a rectangular or other suitably shaped frame e which is
arc." Working
provided with pinching screws f at each end for holding the handle of the brush
securely in position within the frame. For the same purpose V shaped grooves g
may be made in the frame. The frame has a double arm or jaw h working freely.
on both sides of the arc and pivotally secured at the centre by means of a rivet,
screw, or such like, i. The front part of the double arm or jaw h has a hole j
made in it and screwed for the reception of a pinching screw k which can, according
to the position in which it is desired to lock the frame, be entered into any one of
the series of holes made in the arc. When the screw is so entered the frame is
securely locked in the adjusted position.
By shifting the pinching screw k from one hole to another in the àrc the frame
can be adjusted so as to hold the brush in either a vertical, horizontal or inclined
position.
For the sake of lightness the holder is preferably made entirely of aluminium.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we consider novel and desire to claim is :-
In combination, the socket or its equivalent, the extension or "are"
upper end of the socket having a series of holes or indentations therein, the frame
at the
pivotally secured to the extension, means for locking the frame in different posi-
tions upon the extension and means for locking the brush within the frame,
substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings annexed.
Dated this 14th day of February 1899.
