Application filed January 28, 1927. Serial No. 164,225.

The object of my present invention, broadly speaking, is to provide a shaving comport which is simple in character, strong and durable in construction, easily operated and controlled, positive in its action, compact in its assembled condition, and which can be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low price. More particularly stated, my object is to 1 provide a gentlemans toilet article, especially intended for travelers, whereby ones shaving soap, or cream, and ones shaving brush may be kept in a single containing device whereby they will be properly cared for and occupy a minimum of space in ones traveling-bag, having means whereby the soap and the brush will be. spaced apart. Also having means whereby the brush may be easily projected or extended out for use;

and by which the soap or shaving-cream may be fed out as required for use without'removing the cake or stick from its container, and whereby it will always be available for instant use. 5 Other minor objects and particular advantages of the invention will suggest themselves in the course of the following description.

w'l he preferred means for carrying out the principles of my invention in a practical and eiiicient manner is'shown in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure 1 is an outside elevation of the entire device, completeassembled. Figure 2 is the same as'Fig. 1, except thatthe brush is shownprojected outward' Figure 3 is an outside view of thesoap container alone. Figure 4 is a cross section of the shell of the soap container, as taken on the line 1- 1 of Fig. 3. Figure 5 is a side elevation of the inside mechanism of the soap container port-ion. Figure 6 is a plan view of the outer end of the soap container, that. is of the closure disc therefor. Figure 7 is an inner end view of the brush container portion, as it would appear after the soap container has. been removed. Figure 8 is a side elevation of the inside mechanism of the brush container. Figure 9 is a side elevation of the brush and its socket. Figure 10 is a crosssection of the shell of the brush container. Figure 11 is a longitudinal section taken centrally through the interior mechanism of the soap container. Figure 12' is a side elevation of the wrench for operating certain of the parts of the device. AndFigure 18 is a perspective View of a cylindrical cake of soap or the like, and showing a disc in contact with each end thereof.

Similar indices denote like parts throughout the several views.

In orderthat the construction, the operation, and the several advantages of my invention may be more fully understood and appreciated, I will now take up a detailed description thereof, in which I will set forth the same as fully and as comprehensively as I may. 3 a j Y In this instanceI have-shown a tubular body or shell consisting of two substantially equal and identical parts, land 9, which parts are adapted to be detachabl connected together to form a single cylinc rical unit, or container, substantially as shown in Fig. '1.

I provide a septumor partition 12, which is in the nature of a relatively heavy disc, which is exteriorly threaded whereby it may be partially screwed into the inner end of the member 1 and also into the inner end of the part 9, whereby the members land 9 may be coupled together, and at the same time forming a partition between the interiors ofsaid parts whereby the tubular body is divided into two chambers.

Formed in the face of the partition 12 are two spaced-apart cavities or sockets 18, which are equidistant from the center of the partition 12, in" which cavities are adapted to fit the respective prongs 19 of the wrench 19, whereby the partition 12 may be turned into the inner end of the member 9, or be removed therefrom. The threads in the member 9 for the member 12 are such that the member 12 can not'be run more than approximately half-way into thememher 9 where it will become tight, tobe removed only by said wrench.

Numeral 13 denotes a smooth stem, which is secured at one end in the center of the member 12, from which it extends into the member 9 and is concentrictherewith, for the purpose hereinafter stated.

Numeral 1 1 denotes the brush socket, which fitis'slidably in the member 9, and it has a central aperture therethrough for the stem 13 to slide in, whereby said stemacts as a guide and centering means for the socket 1 1.

Numeral 7 l5 denotes the brush proper, 110

which is secured in the socket l4, and it extends therefrom toward the outer end of member 9. r

The brush 15, with the socket 14, are formed of such combined length that when the socket is in contact with the partition 12 then the outer end of the brush will be substantially even, or nearly so, with the outer end of the member 9.

Formed through the shell or member 9, and extending longitudinally thereof, is a narrow slot 10 which near the outer end of the member 9 forms a reverse curve, forming a hook-shaped portion 11.

A knob-headed screw 16 isinserted through the slot 10, in which it may freely slide, with its threaded end inserted securely into the socket 14, at right-angles thereto, thereby limiting the movements of the socket and the brush, and providing means whereby a person may grasp the knob of said screw and move the brush into or out of the member 9, as will hereinafter be more fully explained.

Numeral 2 denotes a disc which contacts with the outer end of the member 1, corresponding therewith, and closing the outer end thereof, but it is not directly attached I thereto. A shoulder 3 is formed around on the inner face of the disc 2 and it fits inside the member 1, to retain the disc 2 concentric with the member 1.

Numeral 4 denotes an exteriorly threaded plug which is adapted to be screwed into the outer end of the member 1.

Numeral 5 denotes a threaded stem located centrally of the member 1 with its extreme outer end rigidly secured in the center of the disc 2, and between said disc 2, and the inner face of the plug 4, the said stem is reduced in diameter, and this reduced portion is located in an aperture in the center of the plug 4, whereby said plug is free to revolve on said stem 5, and whereby the turning of the disc 2, and therefore the stem 5, will not turn the plug 4.

Formed through the disc 2 are two spaced apart apertures 17, through which are adapted to pass the prongs 19 of the wrench Numeral 23 denotes twospaced apart sockets, formed in the outer face of the plug 4, and they are adapted to register with the apertures 17 to receive the ends of the prongs 19 for the purpose ofturning the plug 4 without first removing the disc 2.

Numeral 8 denotes a wire guide, which lies along one side of the interior of the member 1, parallel therewith and longitudinally thereof, with the ends of the member 8 bent outward at right-angles thereto and secured in apertures formed in the member 1, whereby the member 8 is secured in pr0per position. Threaded on the stem 5, and fitting the interior of member 1, is a disc 6.

In the drawings is shown a cake of soap 7 20, or it may be shaving cream or any other material desired formed round 1n cross section.

Discs 21 are attached to'the ends of the soap 20, said discs being formed, preferably, of moisture-proof cardboard or the like. Each of said discs has asmall aperture 22 formed through the center thereof, which apertures are slightly less than the diameter 0f the stem 5. r I

When made in merchantable form the soa and its discs should be wrapped or covers with a sheet of tin-foil, or the like (not shown) whereby it-will be properly preserved and protected.

The operation of my device is very simple 2' The disc 2 is'first to be rotatedreversely until the member 6 is brought into contact with the plug 4., The cake of soap is then inserted into the open end of the member 1, pressing it in and driving the stem 5 into the soap and through one of" the discs 21 whichever happens to be the one on the en of the soap first inserted@ The other disc is then removed thereby exposing the outer end of the soap. I I 4 Now by turning the disc 2 clockwise the member 6 will force the soap outward, but

only a short distance at a-time, whereuit is exposed and can be rubbed over ones face, or upon the brush. After the desired amount of soap has been removed then the-disc 2 should be rotated reversely to its limit, after which the member 1 may be placed in con-' tact with the projecting portion of the plug 12 and screwed thereon. Then by tightening themember 1 into connection with member 9 the soap will be enclosed and'protected;

Now by grasping the entire container, formed by the connected

members

1 and 9, using the same as a handle, one may then place his thumb on the screw knob 16 and bring the same outward and into the part 11 of the slot 10, which will lockthe brush 7 in extended position as in Fig, 2 whereby the brush may be employed in the usual manner.. After the brush has been used and rinsed it may be drawn back into the member 9, and the device will then be as shown in Fig. 1 ready to be packed in a minimum of for various other purposes, all without sac-.

rificing any of the advantages thereof which are new and useful and which involve invention.

Having now fully shown and described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. A device of the nature set forth comprising a two-parttubular container, a partition connecting said parts, a soap feeding mechanism located in one of said parts, a brush located in the other one of said parts, and means whereby the brush may be extended out or drawn into the container.
