The Hooded Fountain Paint Brush: A Dome Shares the Paint Between Both Sides

Paint fed into the middle of a brush clogs its head, and one side of the bristles runs dry. Franklin E. Fornwalt of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, received US 842,644, patented 29 January 1907, for a fountain brush "for applying paint": a tin holder clamped over the brush carries a reservoir whose floor has a row of apertures under a hollow turning valve, and below it a hood whose dome sends equal paint to both sides of the bristles. This rung works out the flow a brush needs, then folds the holder from aluminium sheet over a 120 mm brush and measures the paint it lays on each side of a stroke.

A turned perforated tube before it

The embedded blueprint turns a perforated tube to change how water leaves a brush. Fornwalt turns a perforated valve to open or close a row of holes over a hood.

Read US 842,644

"In virtue of the provision of the said hood D paint is effectually prevented from getting on the brush-head b, and at the same time liability of the brush becoming choked and impaired is reduced to a minimum. It will also be apparent that the hood D conveys an equal quantity of paint to each side of the body of bristles a and assures the paint reaching the sides of the body of bristles in the form of thin layers, which obviously contributes materially to the efficiency of the fountain-brush as a whole."

Fold the tank

Fold aluminium sheet into a box 160 × 60 × 70 mm with a lid. Rivet the seams and seal them inside with silicone. Cut a 25 mm filling hole in the lid.

Make the turning valve

Cut 200 mm of 10 mm copper tube. Drill six 3 mm holes in a line to match the floor's, and file a 6 mm slot along the opposite side. Pass it through both end walls just above the floor and bend one end into a crank.

Clamp on the brush

Rivet two side skirts below the tank. Drill them and a 120 mm brush's stock for two M6 bolts, and clamp the brush between the skirts with nuts so their lower edges rest on the bristles.

Paint and weigh

Fill the tank with thinned acrylic paint. Weigh a plywood board, open the valve half, and paint one 1 m stroke each way. Weigh it again; compare how wet each side of the bristles is.

History and honest limits

**Franklin E. Fornwalt** of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, filed US 842,644 on 28 September 1906; it was patented 29 January 1907. His holder is preferably tin; bolts through the brush head with thumb nuts press the side walls in against the bristles, and removing them lets the brush be replaced. A connection may take a hose from a paint supply or compressed air. A right-angled form paints vertical surfaces, feeding the upper side of the bristles only. **Honest limits.** Riveted aluminium stands in for his tin, and plain nuts for his thumb nuts. Your weights are the result.
