Abstract

A combination brush and paste dispenser for dispensing a measured amount of paste from a tube having a hollow elongated housing with a hinged outlet cover mounted on one end so that a brush with a handle can exit from that end. There is a first compartment in the housing for receiving the tube of paste which is connected to a paste applying means at the end of the housing adjacent to the hinged cover. There is also provided a carriage slidably disposed in the housing, having a compression paddle which presses against the side of the tube in response to movements of the brush and handle. The paddle is automatically indexed inward against the side of the tube as the brush is used so that paste is continuously applied to the brush for each use. In another embodiment, a lead screw is provided with a sliding clamp against the back of the tube so that the paste can be applied manually instead of automatically as in the first embodiment.

A combination of brush and paste dispenser for dispensing a measured amount of paste from a tube onto a brush comprising:

a hollow elongated housing having a hinged outlet cover mounted on one end and a top cover providing access to the top of said housing;
a first compartment in said housing for receiving and securing the tube of paste;
paste applying means for coupling to the outlet of the paste tube and disposed above said hinged outlet cover;
a carriage slidably disposed in said housing and including a compression paddle for engaging the side walls of the paste tube;
a brush and handle combination slidably disposed in said housing with the brush being adjacent to said hinged outlet cover, said brush and handle combination having a pin connected to the handle and disposed through an elongated slot in said housing, and said brush portion being disposed adjacent to said brush applying means;
and
connection means coupling said handle to said carriage and for advancing said carriage and compression paddle with respect to said paste tube so that when the handle pin is pushed in the direction of said hinged outlet cover, said compression paddle will advance along the side of said paste tube causing paste to be dispensed from the tube outlet through said paste applying means onto said brush as the brush is advanced out of said hinged outlet cover.
