SHAVING-BRUSH.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Juine 212, 1920,

`Application filed July 2,1919. SeraI No. 308,200.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, THOMAS MoMoNAGLn, Y

a citizen of the United States, residing at Bath, in the county of Sagadahoc and State*A of Maine, haveinvented a new and useful Shaving-Brush, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in shaving brushes, the object of the invention being to provide an improved brush of this character havingv means forsupplying water to the lather end of the brush.

' A further object of the invention is to provide a brush of the character set forth and having means for heating the water before it is supplied to the lather.

With the foregoing and other objects in` ing` partv of this specification, igure l is a side elevation of my im.-

Y. proved brush; and

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

The same characters ofvref'erence designate the same parts in the different figures A lof the drawings.

Referring t'o the drawings, the brush comprises a flexible cylindrical member 2 provided with an y end-,closing member 3 in which the usual tu'ft of bristles 4 is secured in any suitable manner. The opposite end ably leather. A small tube 6 extends lengthwise of the member 2 centrally thereof and communicates with the'opening in the flexible washer 5, such tube being preferably tapered toward its opposite end and extending through the end member 3 of the cylinder 2 into eomr'nunioation-with` a tube 7, preferably `of soft rubber, which is closed at one end and provided 'with a plurality of small openings 8.

Threaded on the upper end of the member 2 is a cylindrical water'receptacle 9, one end of which is closed by a bottom 10, from the center of `which extends a tube ll'p'rovided with a plurality of small openings 12. The open end of the tube 11' is adapted to pass through the Washer 5 into communication with the inner end of the tube 6.

A third cylindrical member 13 is adapted to have a tight fit at one end thereof on the closed end of the' member C its opposite end being turned over to provide a small inwardly extending flange 14 adapted to retain a wad of inflammable material 15, such as felt soaked in alcohol. The cap member 13 is provided with a plurality of air holes 16 around its circumference.

When it is desired to. use the brush, the

.cylindrical receptacle 9 is removed from the member 2`and filled with water and replaced.

lThel inflammable material carried by the cap 13 is then ignited, and when the water in the receptacle is sufficiently heated thebrush is ready 'for use. A slight pressure-of the thumb and 'forefinger on the member 2will flex thewasher 5 so that the water inthe re-l ceptaele 9 will flow through the openings 12 f.

and down the tube 6, to the bristles.

whiie I have described in. detail the 'gmcture herein illustrated, it is to be understood that Ido not thereby limit my invention to the precise features of construction shown,

as I am aware that many mechanical changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of 'the invention as set forth in the claims hereto appended. v

Having thus described my invention, what I`claim is:

J1. In a shaving brush, a flexible cylindrical member, a brush carried by one extremity thereof, a water receptacle supported at the other end of the flexible resilient cylindrical member, means for providing communication between the water receptacle and brush, a flexible washer closing the last named end of the cylindrical member, whereby movement of the side walls of the vflexible. cylindrical member causes a movement of the washer to force fluid to flow to the brush.

2. In a shaving brush, a flexible cylindri'- cylindrical member, an apertured tube ex- In testimony that I claim the foregong tendlngr from the Water receptacle, means as my own, I have hereto affixed my slgnufor provldlng eommunleatlon between the ture 1n the presence of two W1tnesses.
