Application June 2-1, 1950,-s'er ia1--Nc.- 169,385?
3Claims. (cm- 14 This-invention relates to a device for holding ashoe brush and a shoebuffer as a unit, so that they both may be usedat the same time.
The object of the invention is to provide a shoe brush and shoe buffer holder which will simplify andfa-c-i-litate the task of shining a pair of-shoes.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device for'hol'di'riga shoe brush and-a shoe buffer as a ufiit, so that the two articles can beiuse'd at onetime, instead of first using the shoe brush and then putting the brush down and in turn picking up the buffer.
A further object of the invention is to provide a shoe brush and shoe buffer holder which is extremel simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals are used to designate like parts throughout the same:
Figure l is a top plan view, showing the position of the holder of the present invention when holding a shoe brush and a shoe buffer as a unit, the brush and buffer being shown in broken lines;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the assembly shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an end elevational view of the assembly as shown in Figures 1 and 2;
Figure 4 is an end elevational view of the holder illustrating the spring action of the arms when the holder is detached from the brush and buffer.
.Referring in detail to the'drawings, the numeral I designates a conventional shoe brush, while the numeral II designates a conventional shoe bufier (broken lines, Figures 1, 2 and 3). The present invention is directed to a device for V holding the'brush III and buffer II in side-by- .rnade.
Secured to the freeend of each of the spring arms M and I5 is apad H, and the pads H are adapted to abut and engage the sides of the shoe brush I0 and the shoe buffer I I. V
The holder of the present invention further includes a retaining member t3 which may be fabricated of any gauge wire. The retaining member I8 includes an intermediate handle por tion I'9- which is adapted to' be gripped in: the users handwhen the shoes are being'shined. The handle portion I9 is constructed by bending the intermediate portion of the retaining member in a zig-zag manner, as best seenin Figure 1.
Portions of the retaining member IB project through the loop I6 of the clamps I2, and the retaining member I8 terminates in a pair of spaced, parallel legs 20 and 2|. Secured to the free end of each of the legs 20 and 2| is a cushion 22, the pair of cushions 22 being interposed or positioned between the shoe brush I0 and the shoe buffer II.
From the foregoing, it is apparent that a device has been provided whereby a shoe brush, such as the shoe brush I0, and a shoe buffer II can be held together as a unit, so that they. both may be used at the same time. The advantage of the holder is that-it will not be necessary to first use the brush I0 and then put the brush down and. pick up the buffer II, since the whole procedure is simplified by using the shoe brush I0 and buffer II together. By means of the holder of the present invention, the time required to shine a pair of shoes is greatly reduced.
The pads I! may be fabricated of any suitable material, such as rubber, and these pads I'I engage the brush I0 and buffer II and due to the spring action or resiliency of the clamps I2, the brush and buffer will be held together as a unit. Also, the pair of cushions 22 on the lower ends of the legs 20 and 2I are positioned between the brush and the bufier and serve to insure that the brush and bufier will not be placed too close to each other. Furthermore, it will be seen that when the arms Hand I5 of the clamp I2 are extended or are under spring tension, as when both brushes are in place in the holder, the retaining member I8 will be held firmly or immobile by the two loops I6, because these loops I6 are reduced in size when the arms I4 and I5 are extended outwardly. Thus, in this way the complete unit becomes rigid, and there is no possibility for any p'art of the holder to get out of position. Also, the plane of the handle portion I9 is parallel to the plane formed by the tops of the brush and bufier so as to provide the user with a better grip on the holder.
When the holder is detached from the brush Ill and buffer l l, as when these articles are not bein used, the parts of the holder will assume the position shown in Figure 4, due to the spring action of the clamps, so that the holder will occupy a minimum amount of space.
I claim:
1. A device for holding a shoe brush and a shoe buffer together as a unit comprising a pair of spring clamps, each of said clamps comprising a pair of arms mounted for movement toward and away from each other and interconnected together 'by a loop, a retaining member extending through said loops and including an intermediate handle portion, a pair of spaced, parallel legs extending from said retaining member and terminating between said brush and buffer, and a cushion arranged on the free end of each of said legs and a pad arranged on the free end of each of said arms.
2. In a shoe brush and buffer holder, the combination which comprises an inverted U-shaped retaining member having an intermediate section providing a handle and having depending legs with cushions on the lower ends extended from each end, and a pair of sprin arms mounted on each end of the intermediate section of the retaining member and extended downwardly in the free positions, said spring arms having gripping pads on the lower ends and the lower ends of said arms being urged inwardly by resiliency inherent therein whereby the pads on the arms coact with said cushion of the depending legs for gripping a brush in one side of the holder and a buffer on the opposite side of the holder.
3. In a shoe brush and bufier holder, the combination which comprises an inverted U-shaped retaining member having an intermediate section providing a handle and having depending legs with cushions on the lower ends extended from each end, and a pair of spring arms mounted on each end of the intermediate section of the retaining member and extended downwardly in the free positions, said spring arms having gripping pads on the lower ends and the lower ends of said arms being urged inwardly by resiliency inherent therein whereby the pads on the arms coact with said cushions of the depending legs for gripping a brush in one side of the holder and a buffer on the opposite side of the holder, said intermediate section of the retaining member having corrugations therein to facilitate gripping and said spring arm having ends extended toward said cushions with the arms extended for gripping a brush and buffer and said pads being positioned on the extended ends.
