This invention relates to eertain new and useful improvements in fountain brushes and has for its primaryv objeet the provision of' a bulbous handle portion for a brush that is adapted to ront-ain tht` water or liquid soap that may be delivered to the bristles of the brush when the deviee is held in an upright position with the bristles downwardly directed.

A further object of the invention is to provide a fountain brush especially designed for shaving purposes wherein there is provided a bulbous handle portion for containing fluid to be delivered to the brush bristles and with supporting feet inelosing the brush handle and constituting a support to hold the brush in upright position when teniporarily out of use to prevent the flow of fluid to the brush bristles.

'ith the above general objeets in view and others that will bef-orne apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same eonsists in the novel form` combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully deseribed in eonnertion with the aeroinpanying draving.

ln the drawing wherein like reference eharaeters designate eorresponding parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fountain shaving brush constructed in accordance with the present invention,

Fig. 2 is a vertical eross sectional view of the same, and

Fig. Il is a fragmentary sectional view of a modified l'orm of the invention showing a manually operated screw plug controlling eommunieation between the bulbous handle portion and the brush bristles.

teferring more in detail to the accompanying drawing, there is provided as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 a shaving brush embodying a back 4 having an annular ehannel 5 formed in the outer end thereof for the reception ot the brush bristles 6 which are secured therein in any referred manner.

an inner rhaniber 7 opening at its inner end at the edge o'l' said bark and being internall)Y threaded for the reception oi' the thilnble H having an inwardly direi-ted eoneshaped llange 5l upon its inner end with an opening lll at the apex thereof as shown in Fig. 2. bulbous handle l1 has the open end thereof frietionall)7 reeeived within the thilnble H for engagement with the adjacent fare of the roue-shaped flange 9.

Supporting legs inelose a bulbous handle 11 and enibod)7 a plurality of wire members 12 bent at their inner ends as at 125 to provide supporting feet as illustrated while the outer ends thereotl are suitably serured as at 11V in the inner fare oi' the brush baek 4 so that the brush niav be set in an upright position when the bulhous handle 11 is filled with fluid to prevent the passage of the fluid to the brush bristles 6. As shown in Fig. 2 the wall 15 elosing the outer end of the chamber 7 and surrounded by the bristles 6 is provided with a plurality of perforations 1G to permit the passage of fluid from the brush handle to the bristles. lVith a deviee of this charaeter. the moisture of the bristles G is easily under control of the user as it is only neeessary to squeeze the bulbous handle 11 and fort-e the fluid eontents thereof through the flange opening 10 and through the openings 1G to the bristles of the brush. thereby eontrolling the amount of moisture in the brush bristles.
