Fig. Q is a, longitudinal .sectional View through the Ashaving mug rshowing thev arrrangement of the toilet articles stored -within themug andbase thereof, and w F 1g. 3 is a cross sectionalv'iewtaken on the v llneB-B ofFigg2. v n n L' Referring nowrto the drawings in which like cherzu'zters of reference designate siml60 iler parts in the various views, 10 designates a fountain .shaving mug having the bottom thickened and reversely loowed to provide 'a hump 11, thefupper surface of which is lsu'ostantiallysemifsphercalin'contonr 'and ex- "'55 vto :the cylindrical 'side ,wafllof the mug, Y y The lbottom of the mug hetwejenjtjhe side `jwell rand., humpis downwardlyz curved, as shown at 1.2, to providel a` concave 4annular T0 surface which coactswith the side wall and lthe hump in receiving toilet articles,v such es a farce powder container 13j, a face lotion bottle 145,- and ya, kn-ock-downjshaving brush ycomprising a handle 15 andabrush component 75 16 as well as other shaving necessities, such as chamois skin,7 etc. v The hump is provided.v axially with u duct 1'7 through which yshaving cream from 'the magazine may lentery the mug.y Theduot is 80 closed at the inner end by Aaremovaeble `stopper 18.' The purpose ofjthe humpisjto `spread the bristles 16 ofthe brush apart from the Vcenter 'outwardly "and thus vput the ycream from the duct well up into the bristles so lthat 85 Iin eifecti've lather may be quickly produced.

A two-compartment cylindricalbase 19 is screwedonto the mug at the Ybottom thereof.

V tlfansversefpartition 20 .is disposed substentially midway of the cylindrical `well of '90 the base and divides the base into an l'uA per magazine compartment adapted todae lled with a, supply ofshaving cream `suiiieient to last several monthsyand. a lower compartment adapted tofreceive a containerfor the shaving 9b tools. The 'inner aceof the magazine compartment is threaded asshown at to engage similar threads 22 on the wall of the m11 et the bottom thereof. A quarter turnolf t e magazine is -sullcient to eject a small 10o quantity of shaving cream through the duct 17 into the shaving mug after removal of the stopper, suilicient for a single shave, whereupon the magazine may be reversely turned to prevent further escape of the shaving cream into the mug and thus economy Will be promoted.

Preferably, the shaving tool container comprises a base 23 having a marginalflange 24; which engages partment base and forms a grip to permit unscrewing of the container as well as forming a stop to limit advance of the container into the lower compartment of the mug base 19. The container is provided with an unstanding flange 25 which is threaded exteriorly near the upper end, asshown at 26, to engage similar screw threads 27 cut in the inner face of the cylindrical Wall 19 of the mug base. The container is of sufficient height to hold a safety razor case as Well as other shaving tools, such as tweezers, caustic stick, etc.

The shaving mug 10 is closed by means of a cover 28, the same having a marginal flange 29 adapted to seat upon an annular ring 30 formed integral or otherwise secured to the wall of the mug. The flange is cut away for a portion of its lengths to provide an elongated Ventilating opening 30 which thoroughly ventilates the interior of the ,mug when the cover is closed and maintainsthe contents of the mug, such as the toilet articles above enumerated, in a sanitary condition A mirror 31 is securedpreferably to the inner flat surface of the cover in any preferred manner and is of sufficient diameter to extend nearly to the circumferential flange of the cover and is thus of sufficient size to be used as a shaving mirror when desired.

If desired, the screw thread connection between the shaving mug and cream magazine may be dispensed with and a sliding connection substituted therefor, and the same is true for the screw thread connection between the safety razor container and the base.

While a hump is illustrated in the drawing and described in the specification, it is not essential to the fountain feature of the outfit, since it is conceivable that the bottom of the shaving mug may be even formed concave throughout instead of convexed to provide a hump, and where the humpr is dispensed with and a concavity utilizedin lieu thereof, obviously a greater storage space for toilet articles will be formed in the interior of the mug.

While the cover is shown equipped with a mirror on the inner surface thereof, it is not essential that the mirror be so placed, since the mirror might conceivably be placed on the outer surface of the cover, which in some instances would lend to the attractiveness of the outfit without departing from the spirit of the invention.

It will be observed that the travelers outfit the wall 19 ofthe two-comhump in the bottom above described is extremely compact and attractive in appearance. Furthermore, all the necessities for shaving are carried thus in a single unitary structure. It will be also pointed out that the shaving outfit is composed of a few strong and durable parts which will be inexpensive to manufacture and will noteasily get out of orderunder-severe conditions of service.

IHaving thus described the invention, I claim: j y z 1. A shaving outfit comprising a mug having an axial duct in the bottom, a cover for the mug, and a base for the mug comprising an upper and lowercompartment separated by a transverse partition, the inner face of the base being threaded above and below the partition, the upper threads screwing onto the base of the mug, said upper compartment comprising av magazine for shaving cream, A.

and a container for shaving tools having a marginal flange threaded to engage the threads of the base disposed below said partition. i

2. A shaving outfit comprising a fountain shavingv mug having a centrally disposed thereof provided' with an axial duct, said hump being substantially semi-spherical in'contour, the bottom of the mug being concave between the hump of the l side wall and coacting with the side wall and the hump inA receivingtoiletarticles, a cover for the mug having a lateral Ventilating orifice, a mirror on the inner surface of the cover, and a shaving cream magazine removably secured to the bottom of the wall of the mug. 3. A shaving outfit comprising ya mug, a removablev cover for the mug, there being a duct disposed in the bottom lof the mug, a cylindrical base for the mug having a screw thread connection with fthe bottom of the mug, a transverse partition in the base forming a shaving cream magazine above the partition and forming a compartment below the artition, and a shaving outfit container i threaded into said base below the partition and having a marginal flangeengaging the bottom edge of the wall of said base and performing the dual function of a grip to unscrew the container and a stop to limit advance of the container into said base.

11. A shaving outfit comprising a mug ing an exterior flange near the top thereof, a cover having a marginal flange seating on said exterior flange and provided with aventilating orifice, a mirror on the flat surface of said cover, a cylindrical base for themug having a transverse partition, the inner face of the base being threaded above and below said partition, being threaded at the bottom toengage the threads of the base above saidpartition, said base constituting a shaving cream magazine above said partition, and a container' having a marginal flangev provided with exterior the outer wall of the mug i screw threads engaging the screw threads of the base below said partition, said container providing a compartment for the storage of tools below said partition.
