- the present invention relates to devices for cleaning stains or spots from cloth, particularly articles of wearing apparel.
- the device is especially adapted to be used in cases where the spot or spots to be removed are of relatively small area and it is not desired to subject the entire article to a scrubbing or cleaning process.

CLEANING DEVICE.
Application filed May 16, 1921. Serial No. 470,170.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. Rose,
a citizen of the United States, and residing at Jersey City, Hudson County, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cleaning Devices, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to devices for cleaning stains or spots from cloth, particularly articles of wearing apparel. The device is especially adapted to be used in cases where the spot or spots to be removed are of relatively small area and it is not desired to subject the entire article to a scrubbing or cleaning process.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved article of this class for cleaning by simultaneously scrubbing and moistening the article with a cleaning liquid. A stiff brush is furnished for the scrubbing operation and a can or container holds the cleaning liquid. The brush is preferably secured within the end of a liquid delivery tube which is fastened to the closure provided for the container and which closure may be secured to the container in such manner as to permit the flow of liquid through the tube to the brush, or to cut off the flow when the device is not being used. The exact amount of fluid necessary may be used, the operator having complete control over the flow, so that no fluid need be wasted.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the cleaner;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the same showing it in operative position.
A can or container for fluid is indicated at 10, this container having a threaded neck 11 through which fluid may be introduced and through which fluid may flow to the brush in the operation of the device. A head member C is provided having two op positely facing threaded cap portions 12 and 13 respectively and an intermediate portion 14 to which they are secured and which comprises a laterally extending tube having a restricted end 15 in which is secured a stifi' brush 16. This fluid delivery tube 14 has an opening 17 which registers with an opening in the top of cap 13 so that when this cap is screwed on to the neck 11 of the container and the container is tipped, as shown in Figure 2, fluid may flow from the 55 container through opening 17 and down delivery tube 14 to brush 16.
lVhen the device is not ever, the cap 13 is unscrewed and cap 12 screwed on the neck of the container so that no fluid can escape therefrom either by evaporation or by direct flow. When thus closed the cleaning device may be freely handled and transported without wasting the liquid.
In use, the brush 16 is moistened by tilting the container and applied to the cloth, whlch is illustrated at 18, being used vigorously to remove the spot. It is found that in such manipulation the spot usually disappears promptly and no marginal ring is left marking the extent to which the cloth was moistened. The operator may use just suflicient liquid for the purpose by controlling the tilting movement of the container, so that no fluid need be wasted.
Thedevice when properly used consumes a minimum of cleaning fluid, and a very intimate contact of the fluid with the cloth is realized because of the scrubbing action of the brush against the cloth. The device is convenient in use, efficient, and may be fabricated economically.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
In a device for removing spots and stains from cloth, a receptacle having an opening for the passage of fluid, two coaxial caps for said opening rigidly connected together and each being adapted to be secured to the container over said opening, one of said caps being a fluid tight stopper for the opening and the other cap having an aperture therein for the passage of fluid and a delivery tube secured thereto, said tube having a stiff brush at its outer end and being adapted to convey liquid from the receptacle to the brush.
2. In a device for removing spots and stains from cloth, a receptacle having an opening for the passage of fluid, a tubular head for said opening having a fluid tight transverse middle partition, a fluid deliver tube extending laterally from the head and communicating with the interior thereof on one side of the middle partition, and a brush at the outer end of said tube, said head being reversible so that either end may be secured to said container as desired, to either prevent flow of fluid from the con tainer or to permit flow through the delivery tube to the brush, as desired.
3. In a device for removing spots and being used, how- 1o passage of fluid and a liquid stains from cloth, a receptacle having an opening for the passage of fluid, two 0ppositely directed caps for said opening rigidly connected and having axes extending in substantially the $211118 direction, each cap being adapted to be secured to the container over said opening, one of said caps being a fiuidtight stopper for the opening and the other cap having an opening therein for the delivery tube communicating with the interior, of said last mentioned cap through said opening and extending outwardly from the cap, said tube having a still brush at its outer end and being adapted to convey liquid from the re- 15 ceptaele to the brush.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
WILLIAM H. ROSE.
