Fountain brush assemblies

Abstract

Abstract A FOUNTAIN BRUSH ASSEMBLY WHEREIN LIQUID IS DELIVERED TO THE BRISTLES OF A BRUSH COMPONENT TO BE APPLIED TO ANY DESIRED SURFACES AND TO BE USED FOR DECORATIVE AND COSMETIC PURPOSES. A BRUSH COMPONENT INCLUDES BRISTLES SURROUNDED AT AN INNER END REGION BY A FERRULE WHICH MAY BE TAPERED. AN ELONGATED TUBULAR LIQUID GUIDE HAS A DISCHARGE END REGION PROVIDED WITH AN INNER SURFACE OF THE SAME GENERAL TAPER AS THE TAPERED SURFACE OF SAID FERRULE WITH THE LATTER LOCATED WITHIN THE TUBULAR LIQUID GUIDE. ALTHOUGH THE TAPERED SURFACES ARE GENERALLY OF THE SAME DEGREE OF TAPER, THEY HAVE A NON-MATCHING RELATIONSHIP ENABLING THEM TO DEFINE BETWEEN THEMSELVES A LONGITUDINAL PASSAGE THROUGH WHICH LIQUID CAN FLOW BEYOND THE FERRULE TO THE HAIR-BRISTLES OF THE BRUSH COMPONENT WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FERROLE. THE BRUSH VOMPONENT IS FREELY MOVABLE WITHIN THE TUBULAR LIQUID GUIDE BETWEEN AN OUTER END POSITION WHERE THE TAPERED SURFACES ENGAGE EACH OTHER AND AS INNER END POSITION WHERE THE BRUSH COMPONENT IS SITUATED IN THE TUBULAR LIQUID GUIDE TO AN EXTENT GREATER THAN WHEN THE BRUSH COMPONENT IS IN ITS OUTER END POSITION. AN APERTURED ABUTMENT MEANS EXTENDS ACROSS THE INTERIOR OF THE TUBULAR LIQUID GUIDE AND ENGAGES THE BRUSH COMPONENT TO DETERMINE ITS INNER END POSITION THE FERRULE COACTS WITH AN APERTURE OF THE ABUTMENT MEANS TO FUNCTION AS A VALVE THEREWITH.
