THOMAS HUNT AND HERMAN R. BIERSDORF, 0F PORTLAND, OREGON.
SANITABY MOISTENING- CUP.
L TOSJZOL Application filed October 5,
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, THOMAS HUNT and HERMAN R. Binnsnonr, both citizens of the United States, and both residing at Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful Sanitary Moistening Cup, of which the following 1s a specification.
Our invention relates to sanitary moistening cups, in which a receptacle containing a moist sponge is attached to the clothing of a person.
The objects of our invention are:
First, to provide school children with a convenient means to moisten their finger tips when turning the leaves of school books and thereby to prevent the contraction of contagious diseases; hank clerks. stenographers and other people may use it when counting bills, sealing envelopes, affixing postage stamps, etc.
Second, to furnish an apparatus which can be cheaply manufactured, has no delicate parts to get out of order, will last indefinitely, and being attached to the clothing of a person, is always available when needed.
We attain these objects with the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. I is a plan view.
Fig. 11 is a front elevation.
Fig. III is a section through Fig 11 along the line AA,.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The cup 1 is essentially oval-shaped in horizontal cross-section and contains a sponge 2. The front edge 3 of the cup is preferably made lower to expose the sponge better. The rear wall 4', however, extends above the sponge to prevent the clothing of the user from getting wet. Aflixed to the rear wall is a bent pin 5, by means of which, the cup can be hooked to a coat, vest, apron or shirt- Specification of Letters Patent.

waist of a person. A few drops of water on the sponge make the latter availablefor use.
Having thus described our invention, it will be seen that our objects have been accomplished, and, though we have shown the preferred form of construction, we reserve to ourselves the right to make minor changes, providing we do not violate the spirit and principle of our invention, and, especially do we wish to emphasize that metal, glass, porcelain, wood, hard rubber, celluloid, or any other substance which is non-flexible and impervious to water may be used for the cup, and that the sponge may be natural sponge, artificial rubber sponge, felt or any other substance of capillary property.
e claim:
1. A sanitary non-flexible moistening cup, of sanitary construction and capable of bewith means to attach said cup to the clothing of a person, and a sponge within the cup, said sponge extending substantially above the front edge of the cup.
2. A sanitary moistening cup having an upwardly extending rear wall, downwardly bent pin in said upwardly extending rear wall, and a capillary element in the cup, said capillary element extending substantially above the front wall having the upper surface exposed.
8. A sanitary non-flexible moistening cup oval-shaped in horizontal cross-section having the upper edge of the front wall. cut concave and the upper edge of the rear wall convex, with means for fastening said cup to the clothing of a person, said cup being impervious to moisture, and a sponge 1n the cup, said sponge extending substantially above the top edge of the cup.
