Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 15, 1914. Serial No. 856,948.
powder dispensers, and has for its object to provide aI device of the character' specified,
Iadapted to be connected to a fixed support and having a` compartment for containing tooth powder and having another compartment below the first-named compartment for receiving a brush, together with a port arranged between the first-named and the lastnamed compartments, and a valve for normally closing the port opened by the insertion of the tooth brush into the last-named compartment, the valve being normally held closed by a spring.
In the drawings z-Figure 1 is a vertical section of the improved dispenser, showing the arts in one position, Fig. 2 is a partial simi ar view showingthe parts in another position, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows adjacent to the line.
In the present embodiment of the invention, a receptacle 1 is provided of suitable material, having a perforated lug 2, for receiving a nail 3 or thelike to suspend the receptacle alongside a xed object 4, as for instance, a wall. The receptacle is provided with a port or opening 5 in its bottom and near its front, and a partition 6 is arranged in inclined position in the receptacle in rear of the port or opening 5, for deflecting the tooth powder, designated at 7, forwardly toward the port or passage 5.
It will be noted from an inspection of Fig. 3, that the port 5 is of slight width and of considerable length, and the receptacle is provided with an extension 8 at its lower end. The outer end of the extension is open as indicated at 9, for receiving a tooth brush 10, the extension being of a cross section to fit the brush and being of greater length than the length of the bristles or brush portion of the brush.
A valve 11 is mounted toslide in the extension, the valve comprising a casing shaped to fit the extension and movable freely therein, and the to of the casing lits against the under face o the bottom of the receptacle proper to close the port 5. The valve is normally held in closed position by means of a coil spring 12, and the said spring encirclesra spike 13, which is secured to the rear end of the extension, as indicated at 14 in any suitable manner.
The spike extends through a nipple or tubular extension 15 in the casing of the valve, the said nipple or extension 15 extending rearwardly from the front wall 11a of the casing of the valve. The coil spring 12 encircles this nipple or extension at one end, and the spike is adapted to extend through the nipple or extension and beyond the outer face of the partition 11a of the valve' casing when the valve casing is forced rearwardly by the tooth brush as indicated in Fig. 2.
The spike 13 is so arranged that when the tooth brush is introduced into the extension 8, the spike will pass between the two rows of bristles longitudinally ofthe brush as shown more particularly in Fig. 3, and will separate the series of tufts of bristles to permit the powder to fall between the bristles into the brush. The spike is directly below the port or opening 5, and extends to near the front end of the said port.
In operation, the receptacle or container 1, being provided withpowder, when it is desired to obtain a portion of the powder, the brush is introduced into the extension 8 .as indicated in Fig. 1, the bristles or brush end of the brush being introduced through the. opening 9. The end of the brush engages the partition 11a of the valve casing, and when pressure is brought on` the said casing it is moved rearwardly and the bristles of the tooth brush pass into position beneath the opening 5.
The spring 12 is placed under compression, and the spike 13 passes between the rows of bristles as shown in Fig. 3. The spike 13 acts as a spreader for the bristles, and it will be noted that the partition, 11a of the valve casing is spaced apart inwardly slightly from the ends of both the lower wall and the upper wall of the valve casing. The upper wall of the ,valve casing extends 'over a portion of the bristles during inserm tion and withdrawal of the brush to prevent the bristles from catching in the openings 9.
By opening the valve more or less the' Fig. 2, it' will be obvious that a larger amount of powder will flow than were the valve only partially opened. By spreading the bristles so that the powder falls between the bristles the powder is held and is not wasted after the brush has been withdrawn.
It will be noted that at the opening 9 the receptacle is provided with the outwardly bent portion 16, which is also designed to prevent Catching of the bristles against the receptacle.
I claim:-
l. A tooth powder dispenser, comprising a receptacle provided with an opening in its bottom near the front of the receptacle and having an inclined false bottom or partition at the rear of the opening for directing the powder to the opening, said receptacle having an extension at its under side for reoeiving a tooth brush, a casing fitting the extension and acting as a valve for closing the opening, said casing having a transverse partition near its front end for engagement by the brush, a spring normally pressing the casing outwardly into closed position, and a spike rigid with the rear end of the extension and extending through the valve easing, the front of the spike being pointed and being below the opening of the powder receptacle and extending to the front end of the said opening, said spike being designed to-spread the bristles. D
2. A tooth powder dispenser, comprising a receptacle having an opening in its bottom and near the front thereof, and having an extension on its bottom for receiving a tooth brush, the extension being open at the front of the receptacle, Aa Valve in the extension and movable longitudinally thereof and adapted to close the opening, said Valve having means for engagement by a tooth brush to move the valve from beneath the opening, a spring normally pressing the valve outward, and' a spike rigid with the rear end of the extension and extending longitudinally of the extension to near the front thereof for spreading the bristles of the tooth brush when it is inserted, the
valve having an opening through which the spike extends.
