HARRY H. CHANDLER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IODIN FOUNTAIN-BRUSH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 4, 1917. Serial No. 166,421.

Be it known that I, HARRY H. CHANDLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at 21 Nagle ave, New York,.N. Y., in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Iodin Fountain-Brushes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to fountain brushes and more particularly to an iodin fountain brush.

The principal object of the invention is to provide an instrument of the above stated character in which the various relative parts, except the brush are constructed of vulcanized rubber or other suitable material, so that when the iodin is placed within the device it will in no way lose any of its medicinal properties, as would necessarily be the case were the deviceconstructed of metal.

Another object of the invention is to provide an iodin fountain brush embodying a barrel to which is detachably connected a perforated stopper and through which is slidably positioned a cylindrical member provided centrally with a discharge opening,

this cylindrical member being provided on its outer end with a conical brush surrounding the discharge opening of it, and this cylindrical mem er is so constructed that when it is moved inwardly the iodin will flow outwardly into the central portion of the brush and when it is moved outwardly the discharge opening through it will be closed and prevent any further escape of the iodin or other liquid which may be located in the barrel.

A still further object of the invention is to provide the stopper with a central perforation having its inner end flared outwardly and disposed through this perforation is a cylindrical member having its inner end flared outwardlyand adapted to frictionally engage and remain within the inner flared end of the stopper perforation to close the discharge opening through the cylindrical member.

With these and other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises the various novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described hereinafter and set forth with particularity in the appended claim.

Referring to the drawings,

Figure l is a side elevation of my novel construction of .iodin fountain brush, with the closure cap positioned over the brush.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation with the closure cap removed from the brush and positioned Over the opposite end of the device.

Fig. 3 is a detail view ofthe stopper showing the cylindrical memberhaving the discharge opening through it arranged in closed position. i

Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the cylindrical discharge member arranged in open position with respect to the stopper and Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view through one end of the device.

Similar characters of reference are used to denotecorresponding parts throughout the accompanying drawings and the following description.

It is to be understood that in carrying out the objects of the present invention, that the entire instrument, except the brush, is to be constructed of vulcanized rubber or other suitable material, so that when the iodin is arranged within it, it will lose none of its medicinal properties which would be the case were the device constructed ofmetal. While the present invention is primarily designed for an iodin fountain brush, it is to be understood that it can be used equally as well for the dispensation of any other medicine or liquid wherein metal is undesirable owing to its eflect upon the chemical solution.

To this end, it will be seen by reference to the drawings, that my improved iodin fountain brush consists of a cylindrical barrel 1 closed at one end and open at the other end, this open end being internally threaded and detachably connected to it is the threaded end 2 of a stopper 3 provided with an annular shoulder 4 designed to engage the upper edge of the barrel 1.

As shown the stopper 3 is tapered outwardly and over this stopper is adapted to be frictionally positioned a closure mp5, which is reversible end for end upon the barrel 1. This closure cap has attached to it a pocket clip, 6 which is designed to contain suitable insignia indicating the contents of the fountain brush and also an antidote to Patented Apr. 2, 1918.

be used in case the person using the brush should become poisoned by its contents,-

namely iodin.

The stopper 3 isprovided with a central" perforation 7 the inner end of which is]; flared outwardly as indicated at 8, and sl1dably disposed through this perforation is a cylindrical member 9,- the inner end of which is flared outwardly as indicated at 10 andis adapted to fricti onally engage and remain 'within.t he outwardly flared'end 8 of the EBI'IEOIatIOII 7. The cylindrical member 9 as its outer end provided with a head 11 adapted to limit its inward movement, while the flared end 10 limits its outward movement. The cylindrical member 9 is provided centrally with an inwardly extending discharge opening 12 which extends inwardly'to a point adjacent the inner end of 'and when it is desired to dis ense the iodin from it, the cylindrical mem er 9 is'moved inwardly of the stopper until the head 11 engages the outer end of the stopper which in turn will move the flared end 10 out of the stopper and permit the iodin to enter the discharge opening 12 through the passage 13 and pass into the central portion of the brush, thus permitting of the iodin to thoroughly and evenly distribute itself through th e-' b'ru sht. q

{When-a suff cient quantity of the iodin has vbeen used; the cylindrical member" 9 is moved outwardly until the "flared end 10 engages w1thin the inner flared end '8 of the stopper perforation, after which it may be rotated enough to frictionally engage and maintain the flared end 10 within the flared opening 8. This frictional engagement will be sufiicient to maintain the cylindrical member in a closed position and prevent the escape of any more liquid. I

I claim, f

A fountain brush comprising a barrel, a stopper threaded into said barrel and provided centrally With a perforation having its inner end flared outwardly, a cylindrical member slidably disposed through said stopper perforation and having its inner end flared outwardly, and adapted to friotionally engage within the inner flared end of said stopper perforation, said cylindrical member being provided centrally with a discharge opening extending inwardly and having a lateral branch opening through the side wall of its inner flared end, means to limit the inward movement of said cylindrical member, and a brush mounted on the outer end of said cylindrical member and surrounding the discharge opening thereof.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HARRY H. CHANDLER.
