SHOE-POLISHING CABINET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J an. 29, 1918.;
Application filed March 19, 1917. Serial No. 155,843.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, REID J. MCCREDIE, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Polishing Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in a shoe polishing cabinet and has particular reference to a casing that is of such a configuration as to receive the necessary outfit for polishing shoes compactly and that is of a sightly appearance thus rendering the device particularly attractive to persons traveling.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a device of the character mentioned that is comparatively simple and durable in construction, and that may be manufactured and placed on the market at a minimum cost.
Another object of the invention isto provide the upper portion of the casing of a configuration corresponding to that of the bottom of a shoe so that the same ma be retained in the desired position while po ishing.
Other improvements and novel details in the construction and rrangement of the various parts of the shoe polishing cabinet will be brought out more in detail in the description to follow, which, for a clear understanding of the invention, should be considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and wherein is disclosed, for the purpose of illustration, convenient and satisfactory embodiments of the invention. It is to be noted, in this connection, that minor changes in the construction and arrangement of the parts may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the principle of operation of the various parts.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved shoe polishing cabinet in closed position;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same, and
Fig. 3 is a detailed view showing the means'of retaining the brush in engagement. with the casing.
In its general organization the shoe polishing cabinet comprises a'substantially ob long cabinet designated 0 in its entirety. The end 5 of the cabinet is of a substantially annular configuration to receive the standard forms of shoe polishing cans 6 and as particularly set forth in Fig. 2. The opposite end of the top 7 of the casing is de pressed at 8 to provide means to receive the heel of a shoe and thus retain the shoe in the desired rigid position during the polishing process. The lower edges of the sheet metal casing are bent upon themselves as at 9 to provide a reinforcing means. The body of the brush 10 i provided with an aperture 11 at opposite points to receive a cap mem ber 12 which is slidably mounted in the re cess. The end wall 13 of the cap member 12 is provided with a concentric opening to receive the nail 14 or other suitable fastening means which is adapted to limit the movement of the cap against the tension of the spring 15. The cap members 12 are adapted to engage the enlargements 16 formed on the sides of the casing to retain the brush in close proximity to the casing for an obvious purpose. A strip ofnietal 17 is secured to the back of the brusli" 10 providing means for limiting the inward movement of the same.
paratus the brush is removed merely by a slight pressure on the member 17 which will withdraw the brush member permitting'access being had to the cloth shown and designated 18 in Fig. 2 and also the dauber 19 and the blackening box 6. By providing the end of the casing of the cabinet with an annular portion to receive the shoe polish- When it is desired to use the polishing ap- I ing box 6 any rattling or unnecessary noise I thereof is avoided.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. In a device of the character described the combination with a substantially oblong casing having the bottom wall thereof re moved, of a brush member including a body portion, the body portion having a recessed portion provided in the sides thereof, coiled springs mounted in said recessed portions. acap member adapted to inclose the coiled springs, means extending through the cap ltltl lUltl members into engagement with the body of the brush to limit the movement of thecap members, and enlargements formed on the casing adapted to receive the cap members for a purpose specified.
2. In a device of the character described the combination with a brush, of a casing, the bottom of the casing being open, the body of the brush forming a closure for said opening, enlargements formed on said casing, slidable plunger-s mounted on the body of the brush adapted to engage the enlargement to retain the brush within the casing,
and a sheet metal member IIIOLIIltGClOIl the tiepics at this patent may be obtained for 'slidably mounted in said recesses, and means associated with the casing to receive the plungers and thu retain the body of the brush Within the open bottom.
In testimony whereof, I my signature hereto.
REID J. MCCREDIE.
