Description
F. S. BROWN. SOAP HOLDING BRUSH APPLICATIION FILED JULYZ, I92!- Patented July 25, 1922.
INVENTOR 'ATIZORNEY FREDERICK S. BROWN, OF TORRINGTON, CONNECTICUT.
SOAP-HOLDING BRUSH.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J 1 2 192 Application filed Jul 2, 1921. Serial No. 482,042.
, rington, county of Litchfield, State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Soap-Holdin Brushes, of which the following is a speci cation.
This invention relates to scrubbing brushes especially adapted for washing dishes, floors,
automobiles. hands, etc., and has for an object to provide an improved brush-which 1s adapted to hold a cake of soap.
It is a further object of thls Invent on to provide a brush of'this character whlch 1s simple in construction, comprlsmg few parts, so that it is cheap and easy manufacture and which is efficient in operat1on.
With these and other objects in view'I have devised theimproved soap-holding brush i llustrated in the accompanying drawings in which;
Fig. 1 is a plan view of my improved brush with portions broken away to better show the construction thereof;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation, one of the brush elements being shown in section.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of one of the walls of the soap container.
Fig. 4 is a transverse sect on through the handle substantially on the line 4- 1. Fig. 1;
- Fig. 5 is a similar section on the line 55 fieference numeral 10 denotes a handle for the brush provided at one end thereof with a socket 11 and theend is protected by the usual metal ferrule 12. The brush comprises two separate and distinct brush elements 13 and 14. In the embodiment shown, each brush comprises two twisted wires 15 between which the bristles 16 are secured to form a cylindrical brush. The wires are then bent to bring the brush to a substantially annular shape as shown in Fig. 1. The wire supports are then bent inwardly toward each other and to one side at 17 and then at right angles at 18 to form shanks 19 which are mserted in the recess 11 in the handle. It will be noted there are two shanks for each brush and that the four shanks of the two brushes are substantially parallel and in contact when they are inserted in the recess 11. A set screw 20 is provided in the handle and bears at its inner end against the shanks and clamps them within the recess. Thus it will be seen from an inspection of Fig. 2 that the two brushes are mounted in the handle side by side with their flat faces in contact.
, The soap container or receptacle is inserted between the two brushes and is retained therebetween bv the inner bristles of these brushes. This container is preferably formed of two substantially oval pieces of wire netting 21 but they may be made of pieces of perforated sheet metal if desired. As the wire supports 15 are resilient the two brushes are yieldingly pressed together and eflectively retain walls 21 of the receptacle therebetween. When it is desired to place a cake of soap 22 within the receptacle, the top ends of the two brushes are separated by the hands, this operation bending the shanks 19 sufficiently to form an opening to allow the insertion of the cake of soap between the two members 21. After the soap has been inserted, release of the brushes allows the shank 19 to clamp the walls 21 about the cake of soap, forming a receptacle therefor as shown m Fig. 2.
t will, therefore, be seen that the brush forms a receptacle for the soap which may be stirred around in the water to generate suds and which is always convenient for use and will not be mislaid, and there is no necessity of placing it on furniture or floors to form spots. It will also be noted that the brush is simple in construction comprising very few parts and is, therefore, easy and cheap to manufacture.
In Fig. 1 the wire supports 15 are twisted throughout their entire length to form the shanks extending into the handle, but in Fig. 2 these shanks are twisted only to a polnt adjacent to the end of the handle, the portions actually inserted in the recess 11 being straight as shown at 23.
Having thus set forth the nature of my invention, what I claim is:
1. A device of the character described comprising a handle, a plurality of brush elements carried thereby and arranged side by side, and a soap container between the brush elements, said container having perforated walls.
2. A brush comprising a plurality of brush elements arranged side by side, means for securing the elements in operative position, and a soap container supported between the said brush elements, said container having perforated walls.
3. A device of the character described comprising two complete brushes, resilient means tending to hold them in contact, and a soap container supported between said brushes comprising perforated walls.
4. A device of the character described comprising two annular brush elements arranged side by side, a support therefor, resilient means securing the brushes to the support and tending to hold them together, and a soap container carried by said brushes therebetween, the Walls of the container havingopenings therein.
5. A device of the character described comprising a handle having a socket at one end, a plurality of brushes having wire exthe brushes in contact, and a soap receptacle between the brushes and sustained thereby, said receptacle having perforated walls.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
FREDERICK S. BROWN.
