iMECIliICA'ITIOLN' forming part of Letters Patent No. 482,082, dated September 6, 1892.

Application iiled May 19, 1892. Serial No. 433,577. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that We, WILLIAM B. DEMING and HENRY C. FULLER, citizens of the United States, residing at Bentonville, in the county of Benton and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful Paint-Pot, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in paint-pots.

The object of the present invention is to simplify and improve the construction of paint-pots, to enable different kinds of paint to be carried in the same pot without liability of having one kind of paint mixed or spilled into another kind, and to provide Ineans for holding paint-brushes when not in use and to catch the paint dripping from the paint-brushes and to convey the same back to the paint-pot.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of rparts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the clailns hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of a paint-pot constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View.

Like numerals of reference indicate corre- .spondingparts in all the figures of the drawings.

l designates a paint pot constructed of sheet metal and having a transverse partition 2, which divides the paint-pot into two compartments 3, which enable different kinds of paints to be carried-in the same pot. The paint-pot is preferably slightly elongated, making it approximately elliptical in horizontal section, and it is provided at its ends with paint-brush-receiving pockets et, which are arranged at the top and which taper in Width from their tops to their bottoms and communicate thereat by openings 5 in the ends of the pot with the compartments 3, whereby when a brush is placed in the pocket after use any paint, dripping from the brush Will pass through the opening 5 and enter the compartment, thereby saving paint. The paintbrush-receiving compartments are formed by inclined sides and approximately triangular ends formed integral With the sides, and both the ends and sides are constructed of a single piece of sheet metal.

The paint of one compartment is prevented splashing into the other compartment by iianges 6, which are secured at opposite sides to the top of the transverse partition and which are slightly curved and extend downwardly over the compartments. The top of the transverse partition extends above the upper edges of the paint-pot and has secured to it a suspending hook 7, which is con- Structed of Wire and is doubled to form a hook and is twisted at 8 and diverges therefrom to form shanks 9,thelower ends of which are fastened to the partitions at the sides of the paint-pot.

It will be seen that the paintpot is simple and comparatively inexpensive in construction, that it is adapted to hold different kinds of paints, and that the paint of one compartment is prevented entering the other compartment. It will also be apparent that a paint-brush may be readily held after being used and that any paint dripping-from it will be conducted to the receptacle or compartment containing that kind of paint, thereby preventing any paint being Wasted.

l. The combination of a paint-pot provided at its ends with openings, the tapering paint.- brush-receiving pockets arranged on the outside of the pot on the ends thereof and communicating With the interior of the pot by means of said openings, a transverse partition dividing the pot in two compartments, and the inclined flanges arranged at the top of the partition and on both sides of the same and extending from one side of the pot to the other to form shields to prevent the paintv of one compartment splashing into the other, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a paint-pot provided at its ends with openings, the tapering paintbrush-receiving pockets arranged at the ends of the pot and communicatingr with the interior of the pot by means of said opening, a transverse partition dividing the pot into two our own we have hereto afi-fixed our signatures in the presence kof two Witnesses.
