GEORGE S. TURNER, OF GOWANDA, NEW YORK.
HAIR-DUSTER.
Specification qfletters Patent.
Patented July 25, i916.
i Application led February 17, 1916. Serial No. 78,860.
To all 'whom z't may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE S. TURNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gowanda, in the county of Cattaraugus and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Dusters, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvements in that class of brushes employed in tonsorial parlors and known as hair dusters.
In carrying out my invention it is my purpose to produce a hair duster having a reservoir for containing the powder, to arrange a valve between the reservoir and an opening in the brush head whereby powder may be fed from the reservoir to the brush at desired intervals and in desired quantities. K
It is a further object of the invention to provide a hair duster with a hollow handle which comprises-a reservoir for the powder, to arrange the handle with a closure or cap, whereby access to the reservoir may be obtained, and to further arrange a spring pressed slidable gate or valve between the reservoir and an opening in the head of the brush, and to vprovide the stem of the valve or gate with an operating handle disposed conveniently to the operator, whereby a desired quantity of the lpowder may be fed from the reservoir to the brush.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a powder reservoir, in the nature of a handle, which may be applied to hair dusters of the ordinary construction, the said handle having a valve arranged in convenient position to be actuated by the operator whereby a desired amount of powder may be fed from the reservoir to the brush.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a valve carrying member which may be arranged upon the top or head of any ordinary brush, to form the head of the brush with an opening in a line with the valve, and to provide a powder reservoir in the nature of a hollow handle which may be readily associated with the brush head to secure the valve carrying member thereon.
A further object of the invention is to provide a valve carrying member adapted to be arranged upon the top of any ordinary brush that is provided with an opening to communicate withl the valve and to arrange a powder reservoir to surround the valve carryingl member and to bc connected voir ofthe same being in section,
with the head of the brush, and to provide means upon the said valve carrying member whereby the valve may be positively held in a normally closed position so that powder from the reservoir will be prevented from passing through the valve opening `except 3 is a vertical sectional view approximately` on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the valve and stem therefor, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the plate having the spring members which coact with the valve for holding the same tightly against its seat.
With the present construction of brushes used in tonsorial parlors for applying a powder to the neck and face of a person and which to the trade is known as a hair duster, the brush is inserted in a receptacle containing powder so that a desired amount of powder will be received between the hairs or bristles of a brush, and the brush or duster is then conveyed to the person upon which it isV to be used and the powder applied. With such a practice a large amount of powder is wasted and the method is unsanitary, for` the reason that the brush is continuously used upon different persons and the same being constantly insertednn the powder permits of the ready conveying of diseased germs from one person to another.
With my device only a certain quantity of powder is fed from the reservoir to the brush and this powder can be used only upon onev person, as it is evident that all of the powder contained in the hairs o1' bristles of the brush maybe removed therefrom by the simple operation of shaking the said brush. Also with my improvement it is not absolutely necessary that a brush of a particular construction be employed, although I have found it convenient to so illustrate the device in the accompanying drawing. as will be apparent when the details of construction 11 In the drawing, the numeral 1 designates I the duster and 2 the head thereof. In the present instance the head is provided with 4peripheralthreads andv is centrally formed handle which provides the reservolr for the with a depending sleeve 3 that communicates with .the hairs or bristles of the brush proper.
Arranged over the head 2 and resting thereon is a valve carrying member 4. This member is preferably in the nature of a block having a rounded periphery corresponding in size to that of the head ofthe duster and the same is centrally formed with an opening 5 that conummicates with the bore of the sleeve 3. The valve carrying member or block 4 is formed upon its upper face with a longitudinally extending substantially rectangular channel 6 which intersects the opening 5. The lower wall of the channel adjacent one of the sides of the opening 5 is formed with a lug 8, the said lug belng provided with a depressionl or opening which alines with a similar opening 9 provided in the wall between the periphery of the block 4 and one of the end walls of the channel 6, and arranged in these openings is the stem 9 of a. flat valve 10. The valve is, of course, disposed to close the opening 5 and the stem 9 is provided with an oiiset portion or c ollar 11 that is adapted to be contacted by one end of ahelical spring 12, the said spring surrounding the stem 9 and having its opposite end contacting with the lug 8 so as to normally slide the stem-to cause the valve 10 to be disposed over the open-inv 5 in the block 4. The stem 'extends a suitable distance beyond the periphery of the block and is provided with an operating head 13. -v p Arranged to close the channel 6 between the lug 8 and the portion thereof provided with t e opening 9 is a fiat spring plate 14, the said plate being secured to the block 4 in any desired or preferred manner, andk this plate has its inner end slitted to provide avcentral spring tongue 15 that exerts a tension against the stem 9 to force the valve 19 upon the lower wall of the channel or the valve seat, so that the valve will positively close the 'opening 5.y The said inner end of the plate to the opposite sides of the tongue 15 and between certain or the slits is bent downwardly to provide right angular lips 16, and these lips are arranged to the opposite sides of the valve stem' and engage wlth the lug 8 to close the opening therein through which the valve stem passes, to serve as a guide for the valve stem as well as a closure for the portion of the chamber within which the spring is arranged and prevent the powder from per-*` meating through the said opening to within the spring receiving chamber.
The block has its underface formed with a rectangular depression within which is pivoted a substantially rectangular bail or handle 17, and this bail'may be swung outwardly of the block when the block is I hollow handled.
The numeral 18 designates the portion or rim 20 that contacts with the upy per face of the block to orcethe same rmly against the head of the brush. It is, of
course, to be understood that the threaded portion of the handle is provided with a suitable slot or opening through which is passed the stem of the valve, the upper and reduced end of the hollow handle, indicated for distinction by the numeral 21, having a reduced mouth 22 which is formed with eX- terior threads, the said threads being engaged by a flange 23 upo'n a cap 24 and the said cap is provided with a ring 25` whereby the duster maybe suspended from a suitable support when not in use. The cap 24, of course, permits of access to the hollow handle or 'reservoir so that the powder may be supplied thereto when desired. A
From the above description, taken in con nection with the accompanying-drawing, the simplicity of the device, as well as the advantages thereof will, it is thought, be perfectly apparent to those skilled in the art t0 which such invention appertains without further detailed description.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is: l
1. In combination with a brush having its head provided with an opening, and a hollow handle removably connected to said head, of a member resting upon the head and sustained thereon, said member having an opening registering with the opening of the head having a transverse channel in its upper face which intersects the opening, a
viiat valve inthe channel for normally` clos- 2. In a device for the purpose set forth,
the combination with a brush having its head formed with a depending sleeve, and a hollow --handle threadedly engaging with the sleeve, of a member arranged on the 'head and sustained thereon by contacting engagement with the handle, said member having an opening alining with the sleeve spring and the lug, said plate having a spring tongue contacting with the stem of the valve, and depending lips upon the plate 15 disposed to the opposite sides of the stem and contacting with the lug to `close the opening therein. v
ln testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
