FOUNTAIN-TYPE COMB Filed Nov. 1'7, 1944 2 vShets-Shegai. 1
Inventor Car/es fl M O/are,
tain type combs, that; is, a. form of Patented Oct. 30 1945 2.381.924 FOUNTAIN-TYPE am Charles A. McClure, Chicago, 111..
inkssignor of one- This invention relates to improvements in folmthis to hold chemical, medicinal and tical preparations, the latter to he d by properly arranged ports, to the teeth of the comb.
As implied in the preceding opening oi the invention, I am aware that fountain combs,
. Briefly, the preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a cylindrical elongated ban-e1 attached to the back of the comb, this constituting a container or reservoir for hair oil, dyes and the like, there being means provided at opposite ends, one arrangement to expedite fillin of the barrel,
having a spring-returned moperating a multiple control valve unit which coacts therewith and with the discharge ports in the back of the comb.
Novelty is believed to reside in the provision of substantially Ill-shaped discharge ports, these having their intake ends located in the valving area of the barrel and their discharge ends located to properly feed and distribute the contents oi. the barrel over the surfaces of the teeth, there be a push button controlled rod located in the barrel and this having valve elements for coacting with and properly opening and closing Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying illustrative dra.
In the drawings, wherein like numerals are the ports.
' employed to designate like parts throughout the same:

of the barrel. But before discussing 2 Claims. (Cl. 132-13) ing reference numerals, the comb, of suitable ma.- terial and proportions, is generally denoted by the numeral 6.- As indicated, the back 1 of the comb is provided with an elongated cylindrical barrel- 8 whose ends terminate preferably inwardly of the erse ends of the comb proper. -This barrel as a reservoir or container for the solutions and compounds utilized. In practice, these may be chemicals such as hair dyes, a special'medicamentfortreatment of the hair and scalp, or simply hair grooming oils. The preparations are placed in the barrel at the filler being provided with an appropriate removable screw-plug 8a for such purposes.
For convenience, the chamber which forms the reservoir proper is denoted by the numeral 9 in Figure 5 in which it will be observed that, at the center thereof I provide a suitable guide spider This is adapted to receive the reduced guide shank H on one end portion of the reciprocatory valving or control rod l2. This is located in the left-hand half-portion of the barrel. At its opposite end it is-provided with a similar guide and assembling extension is which operates through coasting guides It and it which serve as fluid- I The extreme endportion passes through a guide and packing ring it which is located in a, cap ii at the left-hand end these details I would direct attention to the fact that the rod is substantially cylindrical in cross-sectional form as seen in Figure 3 and on its bottom is provided with substantially flat rectangular inserts preferably of rubber as indicated at it. These are valve elements and serve to normally cover or close the intake ends of the L-shaped ports 89, these formed in the back of the comb and having their discharge ends arranged to deliver and spread the contents of the barrel over the teeth of the comb.
Referring again to Figure 4, the extended end portion it of the valving rod is screw-threaded and connected as at 20 to a push-=button 26, the latter slidable in a socket 22 provided in the cap 46 ii. A coil spring is located in this socket 22 as Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-section on the plane 06 the line 3-3 of figure 2.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary detail sectional and elevational view of one end portion of the comb and associated barrel and push button asembly. Figure 5 is a similar fragmentary elevational view on somewhat the same scale, this showing the spider for accommodation of one end of the recip= rocatory multiple valve rod.
: now to the drawings by distinguishindicated at the point 23 and surrounds the extension l3, bearing at one end against the push button and at the opposite end against the guide it, the latter servingas a stop or shoulder therefor. The tendency of the spring is to push the button out to projected position. Thus, under the influence of the spring the valve rod I2 is normally held in a position whereby all of the valve elements 48 close their respective feeder ports. when, however, the button 2! is pushed against end at the right, this the tension of the spring 28 the rod with all of the valve elements is thereon is pressed into a position whereby the valve elements It uncover their ports. It follows that the liquid contents of the chamber 9 therefore flows out through the then temporarily opened ports and flushes over the teeth of the comb as is accomplished in fountain type appliances of this class.
It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.
Minor changes in the shape, size and arrangement of details coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to in actual practice, if desired.
I claim:
1. In a fountain-type comb of the class described, a body including a rigid back portion and associated teeth, said back being provided with a longitudinal barrel, said barrel constituting a reservoir for a predetermined solution or preparation, having closuresior opposite ends of said barrel, -L-shaped ports formed in said back and having the discharge ends opening through one surface and the intake ends opening into the chamber formed in said barrel, 9, reciprocatory valve rod in said barrel provided with longitudinally spaced rubber inserts, said inserts constitut- 7 elements normally mamas fng valve elements and said valve elements covering said intake ports, said valve rod havin its opposite ends reduced, and guides in the barrel for coaction with said reduced ends, and a springretumed button on one end connected to one of said reduced ends, whereby to normally hold the valve elements in closed position, in the manner and for the purposes described.
2. In a fountain-type comb of the class described, a body including a rigid back portion and associated teeth extending laterally therefrom. said back portion being provided with an integral longitudinally extending barrel, said barrel constituting a reservoir and having closure means at opposite ends, said body being further provided with L-shaped ports, said ports having their discharge ends opening through one surface of the back for coaction with said teeth, the inner intake ends of said ports opening into said reservoir. a reciprocatory valve rod mounted in said reservoir and provided with valve elements covering the intake ends of said ports, spring means ooacting with the valve rod for holding the valve in position covering said ports, said valve rod having its opposite ends reduced, guide means in said barrel, with which said reduced ends slidabLv coact, one of said reduced ends extending beyond the adjacent end of the barrel and being provided with a push-button.
