Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 16,1915. Serial No. 56,268.

Improvements in Brush-Handles, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to fountain brushes, an object of the invention being to provide a shaving brush handle whereby a determined amount of saponaceous fluid will be fed through the handle of the brush so that the necessity of the employment of shaving mugs or the like will be dispensed with. E

It is also my purpose to provide a brush with a hollow handle adapted to contain a liquid soap, and to provide the same with means whereby the fluid may be fed in pre determined quantities to the brush or prevented from being fed through the handle so that the said saponaceous fluid may be sprinkled and delivered to the hand of a person for washing purposes. 7

With the above and other objects in view, the improvement resides in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts set forth in the following specification and falling within the scope of the appended claims. In the drawing 2 Figure 1 is a view-of a brush constructed in accordance with the presentinvention, Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view through the same taken upon an enlarged scale, Fig. 3 is a view of the handle detached fr0mthe brush, Fig. 4 is a view .of the brush, Fig. 5 is aperspective view of the valve, and Fig. 6 and 7 are details. 1 The brush 1 preferably has its bristles set in a rubber head2, the said rubher head having a round and flanged ferrule 3, and the flanged side of the same being threaded, as indicated by the numeral 4. Passing centrally through the top of the ferrule 3 is a longitudinally arranged. tube 5, the outer end which is connected with the said ferrule being flared, as at 6, providing the said tube with a valve seat.

The numeral 8 designates the hollow handle which has one of its ends provided with interior threads 9 whereby the same may be screwed on the-threads 4 of the fer- The rule 3 and connected with the brush.

' opposite end of the hollow handle '8 is thickened, as at 10, and is provided with a threaded aperture 11.

The member 21 is seated upon the central portion 22 of a spider 23, said spider being arranged below the 'apertured outer end 24 of the cap. The end 9 of the handle is preferably provided with exterior threads 25 which are adapted to engage with interior threads 26 upon a protective cap 27 which receives the brush when the device is not in use.

The cap 20 is threaded upon the end of the valve stem 12 to closethe aperture thereof, and the handle 8 is removed from the brush land inverted when the saponaceous fluid may be inserted in the said hollow handle.

- fluid is to be distributed upon the hand of the user, the cap 20 is adjusted to uncover the aperture of the stem, when the fluid may be sprinkled through the cap 20 by shaking the device. a

From the above description. taken in connection with the HCCUIHPMIYJUQ drawing. the
