TOILETy NOVELTY.
Application med February 1, 192e.'` serial No. 85,274.
This invention relates to certain improvements inv toilet novelties; and the'nature and vobjects of the invention will be ,readily recognized and understood by those skilled in the artsinvolved in the light of the following explanation and detailed description of the accompanying drawings illustrating what I at present consider to bev the preferred yembodiments lor mechanical eX- pressions of 'my invention from among various other forms, arrangements,V combinations and constructions of which the invention is capable within the spirit and scope thereof.y i
More specifically, the present invention is primarily directed to the provision of a toilet novelty or accessory for use in deodorizing the breath, although the'invention is not restricted or limitedto this particular use, as the use thereof for medicating and ytreating diseases or ailments ofthe mouth, throat and nose, is contemplated by and included in the invention. f Those afflicted with the various forms of halitosis, or bad or objectionable breath odors, whatever the cause mayv be and whether of a permanent or temporary character, are loath to employ in' public the various forms of deodorants, which themselves generally afford but temporary relief and must be constantly used at short intervals to overcome the objectionable breath odors. The repeated Vpublic use of such deodorants merely servesy to dir-ect attention to the aprplication, and their use is lparticularly objectionable to women in public and at social affairs where the necessity of removing bad breath odors is at a maximum.
Therefor, one of the: main and fundamental objects of this invention is to provide a breath deodorizing toilet novelty or accessory which is readily portable and carried upon the person. and of a forni and design to imitate vor simulate and appear to an observer as, an article generally carried upon the .person and employed for another purpose, and which can be inserted in or touched by the mouthto apply'a deodorant to the breath, in a `plausible manner as the natural use of the article. e l f Another object of the invention is to yprovide a breath deodorizing toilet novelty or laccessory in which a supply of deodorant in liquid form can bey contained and fed therefrom by capillary attraction solely, so that the 'deodorizer can be carried upon the person in any positionwithout discharge of the liquid deodorant and resulting soiling of objects with which the same comes in contact, but in which a sufficient quantity is instantly supplied to the mouth upon contact therewith or'insertion therein, to deodorize rthe breath.
A further object of the invention is' to provide adesign and construction of-breath deodorizing toilet novelty or accessory for carrying on the person, in which a reservoir for liquid deodorant is formed to contain a sufficient supply for use over a considerable period of time and capable of being readily f filled with deodorant, and in which the deodorant is fed through a channel by capillary attraction to an exposed point for engagementby the mouth to supply a small quantity thereto for deodorizing the breath.
kA further object of the invention is to provide a design and construction of breath deodorizing toilet novelty having the foregoing desired general characteristics, which lends itself readily to manufacture in quantity from various materials in artistic and attractive forms and designs.
wWith the foregoing and certain other objects and results in view, which other ob-` fand capillary feeding duct and feeding member therein.

According to the principles of the invention a breath deodorizer is provided in the form of a toilet novelty or accessory which is so designed as to simulate some generally carried and used article which is inserted in or touched by the mouth or can be so cmployed asa natural and plausible action, to supply a small quantity of deodorant to the mouth suliicient to eliminate or remove bad or objectionable breath odors. As smoking articles are in general use by both men and Women and can be held in or touched to the mouth as a natural act in their use, in the preferred forms of the .invention such articles are simulated, although it will be evident that the application of the invention and its various fea-tures is general andl can take any other desired, form in imitation or simulation of various articles, or even in such form as not to hide or cover the identity and purpose of the same.
Referring now to Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, a breath deodorizer of the invention isdisclosed in the form and in simulation of a cigarette holder or tube. A tube or stem 10 is provided having the usual mouthpiece 11 at one end thereof and the oppositey end flared or enlarged inA simulation of the cigarette receiving end of such an article. The tube or` stem 10l at the enlarged` end thereofoppositeV the mouthpiece 11, is formed With an axial bore ext-ending a distance thereinto to form an internally threaded socket 12 at the outer portion and a chamber or reservoir 11 at its inner portion, as Will be clear by reference to Fig. 2 of the drawings. A feed duct 15 extends axially through the .stem 10 from the inner end of the chamber or reservoir 11 to and discharges oropens at and through the end of the stem and mouthpiece 11. -A plug 16 is externally threaded for screwing into the end socket 12 of stem 10 to close the saine and is provided with a cap or head 17 at the outer end thereof. A rubber or similar material washer 18 is interposed bet-Ween cap 17 and the end of stem 10, around plug 16, so that the plug can be screwed tightly into vand completely closing socket 12, with the Washer compressed betiveen the plug cap 17 andthe end of stem 10. lt.\v.ill be noted that plug 16 and cap 1T are imperforate and are not form-ed with any vent opening from socket 12 and chamber 14, so that the socket and chamber are completely closed at their outer ends by the plug and cap.
Within the chamber or reservoir 14;, a filler of absorbent, fibrous or equivalent inaterial such as raw cotton, 19, is placed substantially filling this chamber and extending at the outer end for engagen'icnt by the inner end of the plug 16, although not so limited. A feeding member 20, in the vform of a. wick or such like of fibrous or porous material, is Vmounted in and extending through the duct 15 of the stem from and with its inner end in engagement with liller 19, to and terminating at the end of the stein in the mouthpiece 11. The reservoir or chamber 11 with the absorbent filler 19 is supplied with a suitable liquid deodorant, such as an aromatic oil, by removing plug 16 and pouring the same through the open end of the tube into chamber' lli until the filler 19 and chamber are charged therewith. rllhe plug 16 is then inserted and the end of the tube tightly closed and sealed. rllhe iquid deodorant will then be fed from the reservoir 111 to the mouthpiece 11 of the stein 1() by the feeding member or wick 20, through the action of capillary attraction, the member 2O becoming saturated and supplying the deodorant to the mouhpiece 11 where it can be removed by touching the tongue or lips, to the mouth. liuc to feeding of the deodorant by capillary attraction to the mouthpiece, no sufiicieut quantity will flow to cause objectionable discharge in any position of the stem 10, but there will always be sufficient saturation of the wick 2O to supply the desired quantity to the mouth to deodorize the breath as will be readily apparent and understood.
1n operation and use, the form of the invention of Figs. 1 and 2, designed in imitation of a cigarette holder is carried on the person and in public can be held in the hand lli and fi'om time to time inserted in or touchedy f to the `mouth in a natural manner as the usualcustom w'ith'a cigarette holder, particularly with women, and the deodorant fed to the mouthpiece 11 will permeate or enter themouth and ldeodorize the breath,
, without callingV attention'totlie user as having performed any act other than to ytoy with a cigarette holder in a natural way customary with smokers. The reservoir 14 and absorbent. filler 19 therefore will hold a sufficient-quantity of deodorant to last over a considerable period of time without refilling, particularly as deodorants of a strong,
4 more or less concentrated character are preferably used, so that a minute'qu'antity only need be taken from" the mouthpiece to secure the desired results. lVhere the filler 19 is engaged by the inner end of plug 16-r the deodorant can in effect be partially. forced from the filler to the feeding member by tightening. the plug to press upon the filler, so that as the deodorant supply approaches depletion the filler can be slightly coinpressed to force deodorant therefrom.
In Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings, a deodorizer in the form of a cigarette yholder vsimiliar in type to thatof Fig. 1, is shown,
but with the addition of an imitation cigarette 17 screw threaded at one end to form the plug 16 for closing the reservoir 14, as hereinbeforev explained. Thus, form of F ig.r3, a more natural appearance is given thek deodorizer, in that a cigarette holder with a cigarette therein is simulated and the user will convey the impressionl to observers that a cigarette is being sniolred during the actions of deod-oriziiig the breath.
In the form of Figs. 3 and 4, a different type' of capillary feeding member 20 is mounted extendingthrough stem duct 15, and coinprises a rod yor length of some porous or fibrous material, such as bamboo or the like.
A further modification of the invention is presentedin Figs. 5
and 6in which a deodorizer of tlie'tube or cigarette holder type is provided and comprises the tube or shell 10 filled with and covering a porous mate-.
In Fig. 10 a deodorizer is disclosed in the form and in imitation of a smokers pipe having the stem 1 0, mouthpiece 11 at one end, and the bowl 21 at the opposite end which forms the deodorant reservoir 14 in communication with duct 15 through the stem 10, in which the feeding meniber or wick 2O is disposed. The filler 19 is placed in the bowl reservoir 14, and the end of bowl and reservoir are closed by the plug 16 having cap 22 which seats on washer 18 on the upper edge of the bowl. The use and operation of this smokers pipe form of the invention is similar to that explained with regard tothe preceding forms above described.
A deodorizer in simulationA of a cigar is illustratedby Fig. 11 and includes the mouthpiece 1.1 at one end to which the deodorant is fedv as explained, and the reser- 111 voir plug cap or head 17 at the other end to imitate the glowing or burning end of the cigar. y
Illustrative of other forms which the invention may take in simulation of articles carried upon the person, a deodorizer in the forni of an'imitation orartificial flower is disclosed in Figs. 14 and k15 of the accompanying drawings, and includes the stem 10 y having the axial duct 15 therethrough with a feeding member or wick 20 therein. @ne
yend of stem 10 provides the discharge end of the deodorizer for application to the mouth, and the other end of the stem is bent laterally to terminatein the bowl 21 forming therewithin the deodorant chamber or ,v reservoir 14 in communication at its inner end with duct 15 and member 20. The reservoir 14 contains the absorbent filler 19 for the deodorant, as already referred to hereinbefore. yThe bowl 21 is provided with the leaves or petals 23 extending radially there- Vfrom and surrounding lthe same, while the lcan be carried in the hand or on other parts of the person. By placing the end 11 of the stein lto the mouth the deodorant in wick or feeding member 20 will Vbe supplied to deodorize the breath. while the act of placing the stem of a flower to or in the mouth is a natural one and will so appear to-an b- SGYVGL'. v
ln a modiied construction embodying the principles of the invention, as shown by Figs. 12 and 13 of the drawings, a deodorizer in the form of a tube or cigarette holder is provided with the duct 15 having the vfeeding member 2O therein at one end communicatingwith the reservoir 14 and absorbent hl-ler 19. The outer end of reservoir 14 opens into an adjacent compartment21l formed in tube 10, and the passage between reservoir 14 and this compartment is provided with the spaced projections or ears 25 therearound providing a seat, as will be later explained. The outer end of tube 10 is hollow and opens into compartment 24, being internally screw threaded to receive the plug 26 lia-ving the cap 27 for bearing against the end of tube 10,
or washer 1S interposed therebetween. An ampule or capsule 28 containing the liquid deodorant is placed in compartment 24, through the end of tube 10, and is formed of a readily fractured or fran-gible material, with its inner end seated on and resting against the projections or 'ears 25. The plug 26 is then screwed into tube 10 until the end thereof engages ampule or capsule 28, and upon screwing plug 26 further into the tube, the ampule is fractured to release the deodorant, which flows into reservoir 14 and by capillary action, through feeding member 2O to the discharoe or mouthpiece end of the tube. The use of this form of deodorizer. conforms to that of the forms hereinbefore described.V i
Thus, by the invention a breath deodorizer is provided in the form of a toilet novelty simulating any desired article carried upon the person for other purposes, which can be raised to or placed in the mouth as a natural use of the article simulated without informing or advising observers as toI the actual use of the device, and which will elfectively supply the mouth with the required quantity of deodorant to remove or overcome objectionable breath odors. The disclosure herein of various possible forms of the invention is not by way of limitation, as clearly the principles and features of the invention are capable of embodiment in a wide range of forms other than those shown. The invention is not confined to use with any particular deodorant or to use solely as adeodorizer, as it includes-the use'for the treatment of ailments ofthe nose, mouth and throat by placing the desired medicaments therein. The 'form of Fig. 12 is adapted for the treatment with gases, such as chlorine gas forl colds, in which gas the ampule or capsule is filled with the gas and passes through duct 15 for discharge to the mouth, if desired the feeding member 2O being removed. l A
ln the appended claims the term deodorizer7 or breath deodorizer, wherever it appears, includes tlic use as a medicator by eniploying medicaments for treating the mouth, nose or/and throat, and these terms are to be interpreted and defined in accordance with the foregoing definition and scope.
It is also evident that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations might be resorted .to without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention and hence l' do not wish to limit myself to the exact and specific disclosures hereof.
esiring to protect my invention in the broadest manner legally possible, what l clzfiimwand desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is: Y
