Filed Dec. 28, 1929 WMA Patented Nov. 29, 1932 PATENT OFFICE TAY WILL LYSONS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
i FOUNTAIN BRUSH Application led December 28, 1929. Serial No. 417,081.
My invention relates to certain shaving and creaming brushes of the type ordinarily used in applying shaving cream or cold creams upon the face. One object'of this invention is to provide a `suitable shaving brush or a cream spreading spon e with a specially designed holder or han le embodying a novel valve arrangement tocontrol the flow of the creaming or shaving substance.l Another object is to provide a certain adapter-means permitting any type or size of container tube to be attached to the holder. Still another object is the provision of a special interlocking protecting cap or shell arranged to positively lock the valve in'its closed position.
These and other objects I attain by the novel combination of various partsand elements fully described inV this specification and illustrated-in the accompanying drawininl which:
Figure 2 is a top view of Figure 1,-with adapter removed. l
Figure 3 is a 'sectional'top view along lines 3 3, of Figure 1. f
Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 represent an exploded view showing all of the composite members.
Figure 10 represents a full outside view of a complete brushhead, with container tube attached.
Y Figure 11 is afull View of a spreading sponge.
Figure 12 is an outside view of the protecting cap. 1
vSimilar numerals refer to similar parts 40 throughout the various views.
`In Figures 1 and 4 to 9, I have illustrated the various members of the preferred construction of my shaving or creaming brush. Before going intothe details of my design I wish to point out that one Vof the most important and diiiicult problems is to permit the iow of the rather sluggish and paste like substance, easily and with the least resistance, from the tube into the bristles' of the brush.
The least obstruction, caused by a deflection or bend in the fiow channels, will result in clogging and eventually stopping the flow oE the substance altogether. f
For these reasons provisions must be made to permit the substance to move in a perfectly unobstructed straightline, avoiding all deflections or bends.
AI also have found in practice that to make this brush universally applicable for all types and shapes of cream containers, a suitable o adopter permitting the attaching of the vvariously dimensioned container tube must be provided, otherwise it would be unavoidable to produce an individual brush for each type of container. The brush, when not in service, n should be properly protected by a cap or stuitable receptacle'which at the same time must be arranged to prevent an accidental dis'- charge of the cream into the cap. For this purpose I provide an interlocking arrangement between the capand the members of the brush head to securely locate and hold the members inthe closed valve'position.
In my drawing it will be noted that this brush is composed of an upper brush-head member 1, a lower brush-holding member 2, a protecting cap 3 and an adopter 4. Members l and 2 are tightly-yet movably held together by specially provided shouldered screws 5, and so resemble practically one unit when assembled.l
Head-member l, the upper part fof which may be of octogen shape, is provided with a centrally located threaded stem 1a within the 85 depression formed by the head. Twoioppositely located slots 1b serve to accommodate the shouldered screws 5. Threaded stem la is also provided with a centrally positioned depression la terminating into an eccentrically positioned` sector shaped perforation 1d.
The lower member 2 is depressed to receive the lower portion of member 1 `which is dimensioned to slidingly fit into this depression 2a. For mechanical reasons two inserts 2b 95 for screws 5 are correspondingly positioned in member 2. Recess 2c, in bottom member 2, acccommodates either the shaving brush 6 or the face cream sponge 7. Tubular stem 2d, whose interior depression 2evis also ter- 100 minating into a sector shaped perforation 2f, is centrally positioned in recess 20.
The lower surface of member 1 and the recessed surface of member 2 are kept in intimate sliding contact by means of the shouldered screws 5 passing through slots 1b. These slot-s 1b permit members 1 and 2 to rotate in the opposite direction.
It may be noted that the sector shaped eccentrical perforations 1d and 2f are of the same angular dimensions of 135 degrees which also applies to the slots 1b. This arrangement permits, by turning members 1 and 2, to position the perforation 1d and 2f either one above the other, thereby providing a clear passage for the substance, or to displace the perforations till the passage is completely cut off.
In the cut off or closed position members 1 and 2 are locked and held in position by the protecting cap 3. This is accomplished by means of suitably positioned abutments le, on member 1 and 2g on member 2, and a slot 3a on cap 3. In Figuresl() and 12 the locking position of all the members concerned is clearly illustrated. Protecting cap 3 is arranged totightly fit and hold by friction upon the outer surface of member 2.
To permit the attaching of variously sized container tubes I devised a suitable adapter in the form of a specially designed bushing 11. This adapter whose larger thread 4a engages threaded stem 1a, see Figures l, t and 5, is also provided with another thread 11?) suitable for the particular make of tube in use. In Figure 10 I have illustrated such a container tube attached to the brush-head. It can be readily seen that by a simple change of the adapter any make of container tube may be attached to the brush-head.
A wide field of application for such a brush is open by making the same adaptable for face-cream treatments. This is possible by means of a suitable shaped sponge as illustrated in Figure 11. This sponge, preferably made of rubber or other suitable material is arranged to be readily interchangeable with the shaving brush G.
The device operates as follows:
The container tube 8 is screwed into the adapter 4;, providedv for this purpose, protecting cap 3 removed and members 1 and 2 rotated to their utmost limits, controlled by slots 1?). lVith this operation the device is ready for service, as the valve formed by the sector shaped perforations 1b and 2f is in the open position and the cream or other substance can be forced into the brush or sponge,
- valve in theclosed position.
Having thus fully described and illustrated my invention I do not wish to be confined to the very details of construction as shown, it being apparent that there may be considerable variations possible Within the spirit of my invention.
Vhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In creaming devices of the character described, the combination of an upper head member, a rotatable lower head member, a pair of radially disposed stationary screwjoining members to hold the oppositely positioned engaging surfaces of said upper and lower head members in intimate yet movable rotary alignment, an interiorly positioned port provided within said upper head member, another interiorly positioned port provided within said lower head member, said ports provided with centrally and axially located depressions terminating in sector shaped perforations, and said sector shaped perforation of each of said upper and lower head member oppositely and correspondingly positioned to serve as an opening and closing valve actuated and operated by said relative rotary movements of said upper and lower head members.
2. In creaming devices of the character described, the combination of a suitably shaped f rotatable upper member disposed to fit into and slidingly engage a suitably shaped lower member, a pair of interiorly positioned and spacedly disposed stationary joining means for said rotatable upper and lower members, the lower member disposed to interchangeably engage and hold a suitably shaped sponge-like applicator, centrally and axially positioned ports provided in each of said upper and lower members and serving as an opening and closing valve actuated by the rotary motion of said upper and lower members, and said upper member provided with means to accommodate interchangeable adapters to attach variously dimensioned cream container tubes.
3. In creaming devices of the character described, the combination of a rotatable upper member arranged to fit into and slidingly engage a correspondingly arranged lower member, a pair of stationary interiorly positioned joining means for said upper and lower rotatable members, a suitable sponge-like applicator member and engaging and holding means provided in said lower member to interchangeably hold said creaming member, centrally and axially positioned port and valve means forming a part of each of said upper and lower members and serving as an opening and closing valve actuated by the rotary movements of said upper and lower members, and said upper port-valve means provided with means to accommodate interchangeable cream supply tube adapter means comprising a threaded bushing connecting member disposed to permit the attaching and detaching of variously dimensioned cream containers. p l
4. In creaming devices of the character described, the combination of a rotatable upper member, a rotatable lower member, a pair of oppositely positioned interior joining means for said upper and lower members, valve means actuated by the relative rotary motion of said upper and lower members, interchangeable cream supply adapter means, an applicator member interchangeably attached to said lower member, a cover and locking means to hold and lock said upper and lower members and said valve means in the closed position, and said cover and locking means comprising a slotted protecting shell member embracing said upper and lower members and protectively covering said o applicator member and also engaging c0rreu sponding projecting lugs oppositely positioned upon said upper and lower members.
