Application tiled May 29, 1913. Serial No. 770,625.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that ll, FRANK SCHREIDT, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Mansfield, in the county of Richland and State ot Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fountain-Brushes, of which the following is a specification. l

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in fountain brushes, and pertains more particularly to shaving brushes.

The primary object of the invention is to provide improved means, of simple, efficient and economical structure, for positively feeding paste, powder, cream, soap, or any desired Huid to the brush bristles.

Further the invention aims to provide means which can be easily and uickly operated to regulate the amount oil discharge ot'paste into the brush bristles, and to also provide a structure in which danger of leakage is reduced to a' minimum.

Still further the invention aims to provide means for enabling the plunger and associated parts to be easily and quickly removed from the magazine.

Invthe drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly broken away, and in section, 'of the invention; Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3; Fig. 3 is a detail view, showing a part of 'the apparatus in side elevation; Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 1, of a modified form of the invention; and Fig. 5 is a section on the line :7e-5 of Fig. 4.

A magazine 1, is closed at one end by a closure 2, which is threaded into engagement therewith, and which has its inner surtace forming a continuationot the bore of the magazine. Centrally of the length of the magazine same is provided with a tapered part 3 which communicates with a contracted end pa1t4 that is formed with a passage 4 'the free outer extremity of the end part 4 ofthe magazine is formed with a valve seat 5, which latter cooperates with a valve 6 that is for engagement with the valve seat 5. The valve 6 is formed on an end 7 ot acap 8 that is slidably and rotatably mounted over the end part 4 of the magazine. A series of apertures 9 extend through 'the end 7 of cap 8 to convey the paste from the magazine to the brush bristies; The apertures 9 aline with the extremity oi the end part- 4, so that when the valve 6 is closed, lthe apertures will also be closed by seating on the said extremity of part 4.

The periphery of the end part 4 is formed with 'an inclined or cam groove 1() into which the inner end of a set screw 11 projects, the set screw being carried by a sleeve 12. The sleeve 12 slides over the part 13. that is located on the magazine and is formed with a flange 14 that extends inwardly ot the sleeve and supports packing 17, which packing is engaged by the lower end of the cap 8. The lower end of the cap 8 is threaded into engagement with the sleeve 12 and has a eripheral iange 18 on which the brush bristles 19 may seat', the bristles being secured in any suitable manner between the cap 8 and the upper freeV end portion of the sleeve 12.

rHhe sleeve 12 has a knurled portion 2() to facilitate easy operation thereof and since the cap is rigidly connected to 'the sleeve and moves therewith, it will be seen that the valve 6 may be regulated to permit the desired feed of paste through the passage 4 by operation of the sleeve. A plunger 21 is connected to a stem 22 and operates within the magazine 1, the stem passing through a stuling box 23 that is attached to the closure 2 and having an operating head 24 on its outer end.

1n the modiied form shown in Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings, the construct-ion is the same as that. above described, with the following exceptions: The part 4 has 'ai transverse bridge member 25 that has a cent-ral aperture 26 which rigidly receives and holds therein a threaded stem 27. A sleeve 28 receives the stem`27 and has a part 29 which is provided with a threaded aperture that receives the stem 27, the sleeve passing through the stuffing box 23 attached to the closure 2 and having an operating head 30- attached rigidly to its outer end. A -plunger 31 is rigidly attached to the part 29 of the sleeve and moves with the latter. Movement imparted to `the sleeve through the medium of the head 30, will cause the part- 29 of the sleeve to ride the threads of the immovably held stem 27 with the result that the plunger will be correspondingly moved. 1n this form ot the invention, a threaded connection 31 is formed between the sleeve 32 and the magazine 1, a stop flange 33 limittwo parts threadedly connected at 34. Since the bore of the closure 2 and that of the magazine l register, it will be seen that the plunger 21, can be drawn into the closure 2 and easily removed. Likewise in replacing the parts, the plunger centers the closure so that the latter can be easily replaced, wit-hout mutilation of the Washers. It Willv also be noted that the threaded interior of the closure 2 will readily engage the threaded exterior of the magazine Without interfer-l ence from the Washers.

lVhat. is claimedis:v

l. In a brush of the type set forth, a magazine having a tapered part terminating in a contracted end part having a passage, a val-ve seat Vformed on the free extremity of said end part, a cap movably mounted over the magazine and having a closed end `formed with apertures which apertures aline with the extremity of said end part, a valve carried by the cap for engagement on said valve seat, means to adjust the cap to regulate the extent of movement of the valve to and from its seat,'and means in the magazine to force paste or the like through the magazine and through Vsaid apertures of the cap. v
