TOOTH BRUSH.
APPLICATION man Ausm. me.
Patent-ed May 13, 1919.
M W M MWQ ill) ' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ARTHUR E. PEGK, 015' MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR 'I'O E. PEGK MANUFAC- TUBING 00., OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, A CORPORATION.
TOOTH-BRUSH.
Specification of Letters l atent.
Patented May 13, 1919.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR E. PEGK, a citizen of the United States, resident of Min neapolis, county of Hennepin, State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tooth'Brushes, of which the followin is a specification.
Considera le difiiculty has been experienced, particularly in large families, in distinguishing the individual tooth brushes. Manufacturers have attempted to make such brushes distinctive by providing different shapes of handles, but this has added to the expense of manufacture and has not been entirely satisfactory, nor is it always practicable to mark the brush handles with the name or the initials of the owner.
The object of my invention is to provide an extremely simple and thoroughly eflicient means for marking a brush so that the owner can easily and quickly distinguish it even though it may be mixed with a number of other brushes.
A further object is to provide a distinctive marking means which will not detract but rather add to the appearance of the brush handle and will not make any material difference in the cost of manufacture,
My invention consists generally in a tooth brush handle marked as hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
Tn the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a front view of a tooth brush supported on a suitable hook and having my invention applied thereto,
Fig 2 is an edge view of the same,
Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are detail sectional views illustrating the different colrtrs of the marking eyelets,
Fig. 8 is a detail view of one of the eyelets ready to be inserted into the handle,
.Fig. 9 is an enlarged view, showin the manner of fastenin the eyelet in the handle,
Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate a modified construction, showing the substitution of pins or plugs for the eyelets.
In the drawing, 2 represents the handle of a tooth brush, of any ordinary or preferred form, having the bristles 3 at one end and provided at 1ts opposite end with a hole or orifice 4 extending entirely through the 'handle, which may be made of any suitable ma terial. 5 represents an eyelet having a rolled other suitable material may be used, and the upsetting or pressing outwardly of the end may be accomplished by a button-hook, knife handle or any other suitable tool sufficient to expand the metal and prevent the eyelet from accidentally dropping out of the orifice in w thehandle.
The eyelet of another brush may be yellow, another green, and so on, as indicated by the difi'erent shades in Figs. 3 to 7 inclusive. These eyelets T prefer to furnish with the brush, to be placed'in the orifice by the user, and when a person has once selected a certain color by which the individual tooth brush is designated, there will never be any danger of confusion, even though the brush may be misplaced or accidentally mixed with others.
As indicated in Figs. 10 and 11, I may substitute colored plugs or pins in place of the eyelets, giving them some distinctive color or marking which will identify the brush, said pins being inserted into the openings in the handles in place of the eyelets or tapped into the handles at any other suitable place thereon.
In various other ways this marking may be effected, the idea broadly being to provide some adjunct of the brush handle which, by means of its color, will enable the brush in which it is used to be easily identified.
The advantage of this manner of marking lies in the fact that the user himself marks the brush with an individual color, shape or design, whereas usually the manufacturer selects some arbitrary marking means and the urchaser of the brush has no choice, but is obliged to adopt whatever mark he may find on the brush. My improved marking arrangement also eliminates the necessity of the manufacturer marking both the container and the brush. In fact, the manufacturer is eliminated from the question entirely except that he furnishes the marking means to the customer.
and having a distinguis ing color at one end and an opposite end that is adapted to be pressed outwardlytoengage the walls of the orifice.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of August, 1916.
