1 Claim. 1
The present invention relates to a novel accessory, adapted to be used in bathrooms, toilets and the like, and having the combined functionsof a brush holder and cream or paste dispenser for dispensing purposes.
More specifically, the invention appertains to a wall or equivalent fixture which embodies means whereby a conventional toothpaste or equivalent tube may be attached thereto in a manner to squeeze the paste or cream therefrom and onto the bristles of a toothbrush, shaving brush or the like.
In reducing to practice a preferred embodiment of the invention, a wall-typ fixture is employed, the same including an especially constructed part, having bores therein, one bore serving to accommodate the threaded discharge neck of a collapsible tube and another bore serving to discharge the cream or paste which is ejected through the bore for dispensing use when the tube is squeezed, the latter bore serving to deliver the paste against the brush bristles for use.
It is an object of the invention to provide a structure which not only serves as a holder or hanger for the brush, but also as a holder and hanger for a collapsible tube of the usual standard type, an arrangement of bores being provided so that the paste is squeezed from the tube into one end and discharged to the other end, the latter end having the additional function of a retention socket into which an end-portion of the brush handle is plugged when it is not in use, using said end-portion as a closure for the bore.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings, wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the views:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combined paste dispenser and brush holder constructed in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view with portions in section and elevation.
Figure 3 is a front view, showing a modification in which a duplex-style brush holder is utilized.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective view, showing the retention and closing plug formed on one end of the brush handle.
Referring now to the drawings by distinguishing reference numerals and particularly to Figures 1 and 2, the numeral 6 designates a single brush-type holder, this in the form of a wall fixture. The fixture may be mad from plastic o 2 material, may be transparent or however the manufacturer prefers to construct it. It is characterized by an attaching base 1, with holes to accommodate fastening screws 8, whereby to permit anchorage on a wall or equivalent support 9. Extending'outwardl and at right angles from the base is an ornamental body or projection III. This part in may be varied in design to lend ornamentality and eye appeal thereto. Its primary function is to hold and suspend th toothpaste tube II on the one hand, and the toothbrush H on the other hand. In carrying out the principles, a bore i3 is provided and extends centrally in the body and this connects up at its left-hand end with a paste intake branch II and connects at its opposite end with a paste discharge branch or passage IS. The branch i4 is internally screw-threaded to accommodate the screw-threaded neck iii of the collapsible toothpaste tube il. The toothbrush includes a handle i7 and brush bristles l8. At one end, the handle is provided with a reduced extension which is cylindrical in cross-sectional form as at is. This functions as a friction plug and is adapted to be forced into the discharge passage it. In so doing, it serves to plug up the discharge passage and to prevent the escape of paste. In
addition, this provides a friction grip and suspension means for the brush itself. It follows that we have a bore l3 having lateral branches at opposite ends, one to handle th collapsible toothpaste tube and the other to handle the brush.
In practice, the usual screw-cap (not shown) is removed and the screw-threaded neck I6 is tapped into the intake branch it. Under normal circumstances, we are to assume that the plugging prong ii! on the brush handle is (as seen in Fig. 1) fitting tightly into the discharge passage i5. Now, by squeezing the tube, paste is fed through the branch M and into the main bore or supply branch l3 and finally into the discharge or dispensing branch i5. As long as the passage i5 is plugged, as shown in Figure 2, nothing happens. When, however, the toothbrush is removed, it is turned around to dispose the brush bristles underneath the passage 15 whereupon paste is pumped from the tube by way of the passages onto the bristles i8. When the tooth-cleaning job is finished, the brush is turned upside down and the plug is fitted back into place to accomplish the desired results.
Instead of using a single brush arrangement, it is possible to employ two or more brushes. As shown in Figure 3, for example, in the modification, the attaching base or flange 20 carries an on nding body'll of suitable shape having an inta e 22 communicating with bores 23 and 24. At the outer ends, are downturned discharge branches 25 to accommodate the plug-equipped ends of the brush handles 26. Here, the collapsible tube 21 has its screw-threaded neck 28 threaded into the intake 22. B squeezing it, the paste may be forced into either passage or both passages, as the case-may be.
It is evident, from the disclosure thus far made, that the invention covers a convenient,
sanitary and neat method andmeans of han-' dling and dispensing toothpastes, shaving creams. hand creams or other similar semi-fluid products, such as are put up and sold, these days, in socalled collapsible tubes. The invention has been tried successfully for both toothpaste and shaving cream and performs the desired results with admirable satisfaction. A careful consideration of the foregoing de-,
scriptlon in conjunction with the invention as illustrated in the drawings will enable the reader to obtain a clear understanding and impression of the alleged features of merit and novelty' sufllcient to clarify the construction ,pf the invention as hereinafter claimed.
Minor changes in shape, size, materials and rearrangement of parts may be resorted to in actual practice so long as no departure is made from the invention as claimed.
