LATHER-PRODUCING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 11, 1915.
Application filed July 28, 1910. Serial No. 574,268.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERMANN Rnronn, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Millstone, in the county of Somerset and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Lather-Producing'Device, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to certain improvements in the production of lather for use for any purpose desired, for instance, in connection with shaving, and the object of the invention is to secure the proper forma tion of the lather without the objectionable, frictional, or agitating action of a brush.
A further object is to secure the autogenous generation of a copious lather by the chemical or physical action of two or more different substances, materials, or re-agents.
One form which my invention may assume is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, to which reference is to be had.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a lather producing device constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section therethrough; and Fig. 3 is a trans verse section through the lather producer proper when removed from the holder, said section being taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
By means of my invention I avoid the use of a brush which is often unclean and unsanitary, and often used indiscriminately in barber shops. I secure the economical and cleanly production of the lather without the use of any brush or any frictional action, and a lather producer is so formed that it may be used but a single time and thrown away, so that the danger of catching contagious diseases from unclean brushes is entirely eliminated.
In the ordinary production of lather, a soap or other saponaceous material in solid, liquid, or paste form is employed, and, either before or after being applied to the face, is rubbed, agitated or subjected to frictional action in the presence of water, to produce the lather.
In carrying out my invention, I employ a soap or other saponaceous material, and incorporate with it, or use in conjunction with it, a substance or material which becomes efiervescent or ebullient under certain conditions and evolves gases. This effervescent or ebullient material may be set in action in various ways dependent upon the character of the material.
The different ingredients going to make up my lather producing device may be intermixed or arranged relatively to each other in various different ways, but the gas producing ingredient and the saponaceous ingredlents are preferably arranged in alternate layers so that the reaction will be gradual or progressive, and the water remamlng after use in producing reaction of one layer may be partly absorbed by the material of the following layer or act partly as a solvent or eXcitant for the subsequent layers.
The lather producing compound is so held and supported that the excitant may readily be brought into action and the lather, when produced, may be readily applied to the face. Various forms of holders or supports may be employed, but I preferably employ a support or holder, the nature and form'of which is dependent upon the character of the gas evolving lngredient and the character of the excitant. If the gas evolving ingredient be one whlch requires the application of water or other liquid, I form the holder or support 1n such a way as to contain a means for delivering the liquid as it is required.
The specific form of holder illustrated hasa body portion formed of two telescoping tubular members 10 and 11 formed of any sultable material. The inner member 10 has an enlarged or cup-shaped socket 12 beyond the end of the outer member 11, and at the outer or free edge of the socket there is an outwardly extending substantially conical flange or guard 13. The socket 12 is so formed as to receive and carry the lather producing composition. The inner member 10 at its opposite end is provided with an annular inwardly directed flange 14,
- which supports an inner tube or cylinder 15 extending lengthwise of the member 10 and concentric therewith. The flange or connecting portion 14 may have a plurality of apertures or air passages 16 therethrough, the purpose of which will he set forth more fully hereinafter. The outer member 11 at its rear end has a transverse wall 17 to which is connected a. piston rod 18 extending lengthwise of the cylinder 15 and concentric therewith. Upon the end of the piston rod 18 is a piston 19 by means of which liquid may be forced out of the cylinder through a nozzle 20 which constitutes the end of the cylinder 15. This nozzle is disposed within the socket or recess 28. The rear layer 28 may be formed to fit within the socket 12 and may have a pocket in its rear end to receive the nozzle 20. It may also have a plurality of passages 29 leading out through the peripheral wall into the annular space beneath the guard or flange 13. The several layers referred to may have a passage 30 therethrough, and this passage may be closed at its inner end by a layer 31 of a material which it is desired should be first acted upon by the liquid.
In utilizing my invention for the production of lather, the nozzle 20 may be dipped into water and the body members 10 and 11 moved longitudinally relative to each other, to cause the piston to draw water through the nozzle into the cylinder 15. The block or body of lather producing material is then inserted within the socket or recess 12, and the piston and cylinder are moved relatively to each other to force the required quantity of the water or other eXcitant through the nozzle into contact with the lather producing body. The water or other eXcitant, coming in contact with the gas evolving ingreclient, will cause the necessary efi'ervescence or ebullition of the latter and will, at the same time, partially dissolve the saponaceous material so that the gas evolving material in the presence of this material will generate or produce a rich, creamy lather suitable for shaving.
Upon alternately compressing and releasing the bulb, air may be drawn in past the valve 22 and may be discharged past the valve 23 and through the openings 16. This air will escapethrough the passages 29 and may thus be delivered beneath the flange or guard 13 into contact with the face for drying, cooling, or otherwise treating the latter; its main function, however, is to aid in the production of lather or increase the volume thereof by the injection of air into the dissolved saponaceous material, and to expel the lather through the passages 29. In the attached claims, the term saponaceous is used in a general way to signify any suitable material used in conjunction with a razor for the removal of hair.
When employing the device to generate lather, the body formed by the layers 24, 25,
26, 27 and 28, is employed as a spreader, the lather passing from under the flange or guard 13 to follow the side walls of said body. After the layer 31 has been partially consumed or efi'ervesced so as to expose the passage 30, the lather is expelled therethrough to the face of said body, and is then spread over the skin of the face. The operation is much the same as that employed in lathering the face with a brush of conventional character. The difference existing between the two is principally in the fact that in the employment of the present invention the production of the lather is in character automatic, and after having started the effervescence thereof, the user has only to spread the same upon the surface to be covered with lather.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by 7 Letters Patent is 1. In a lather producing device, a body composed of materials adapted when combined with a liquid to spontaneously generate lather, said body having passages for said lather, a handle, a holder for said body, and means for ejecting said lather through said passages.

3. In a lather producing device, a body composed of materials, adapted when combined with a liquid,'to spontaneously generate lather, a holder therefor, a telescopic handle to which the holder is attached, said handle having two sections, a cylinder attached to one section thereof, and a piston disposed within said cylinder and attached to the other section thereof, adapted upon a relative lengthwise movement of the secltoiois of said handle to eject a liquid to said 4:. In a lather producing device, a body composed of materials, adapted when combined with a liquid, to spontaneously generate lather, said body having passages for the escape of said lather, a handle, a holder for said body, and means comprising a collapsible bulb and a conduit leading to said body for adding air to and ejecting the lather through said passages.
5. In a lather producing device, a body composed of materials, adapted when combined with a liquid, to spontaneously generate lather, said body having passages for the escape of said lather, a handle, a holder for said body, means for adding a liquid to said body, means for ejecting said lather through said passages, and a flange attached to said holder and surrounding said body.
6. A lather-producing device, comprising a body composed of materials adapted to generate lather when acted upon by a suitable reagent; and a holder mounted on said body to receive and deliver said reagent upon said body to form lather therefrom.
7. In a device for generating and applying lather, a perforated body, adapted, when combined with a liquid, to elfervesce and thereby spontaneously generate lather; a holder for said body; a handle to which the holder is attached; means within said handle for adding a liquid to said body; and means for ejecting the liquid and lather through the perforations in said body.
8. In a device for generating and applying lather, a perforated body composed of layers of a material which will eflervesce when combined with a liquid, disposed alternately with layers of a compound of a nature to form a lather with said elfervescent material and adapted to apply and spread said lather; a handle having a holder for said body; and means for adding a liquid to said body.
9. A lather-producing device, comprising a body composed of materials adapted when combined with liquid to spontaneously generate lather, said body having a delivery passage therein; and means for delivering the liquid to said body to generate lather.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
