Description

March 1967 E. D. SNODDERLY FOAM SHAVE APPLIER Filed March 23, 1965 1 ENTOR defly Emil U. Sm
United States Patent The present invention relates to foam shave applier and has for an object to provide a shaving brush in conjunctron with an attachment therefor by which a suitable cavity is formed in the bristle body opening through an end of the brush for the purpose of receiving shaving cream or the like whereby the operations of applying lather and the like to the face of the shaver and the brushing action by which the lather is worked into the skin are simplified and combined in a single action which will economize time and facilitate the action of working the lather into the areas of the facial skin requiring shaving.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device applicable to conventional shaving brushes by which the bristles of the brush element may be spread or otherwise displaced to form such cavity.
A further object of the invention is to provide an extremely simple form of attachment which may be manufactured and sold separately from the shaving brush as an independent commercial article by which existing shaving brushes may receive the benefits of the invention by a simple and easily understood application of such attachment.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an attachment which may equally well be incorporated in manufacture of a shaving brush so that brushes so equipped will have an increased attraction for purchasers.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention will be more fully described hereinafter, and will be more particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.
In the drawings, wherein like symbols refer to like or corresponding parts throughout the several views:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of a shaving brush and stand or handle of conventional form.
FIGURE 2 is a side elevational view of a form of attachment for carrying out the purposes of the invention.
FIGURE 3 is a vertical sectional view of the brush of FIGURE 1 after incorporation of the attachment of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 4 is a top plan view of the bristle element and attachment showing a formation of the cavity for the shaving cream or the like.
FIGURE 5 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view with portions of the stand removed and illustrating a form of application of shaving cream or the like to the cavity formed in the bristle element.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, designates a conventional form of stand or handle and 11 the bristle assembly of a shaving brush of a conventional form now in extensive use.
As shown in FIGURE 2 the bristles 11 are mounted in a brush base 12 and this base, is afiixed to the handle or stand 10 in any conventional or other manner so that this base 12 is held fixedly in the upper portion of the stand 10.
The attachment of this invention is illustrated more particularly in FIGURE 2 and comprises generally a pin 13 carrying at its upper end a preferably round flat head 14 of a diameter dependent on the size of shaving cream cavity desired. This pin may or may not be sharpened to a point 15 to facilitate application to the bristles and brush base 12.
As shown in FIGURE 3 the pin 13 will be inserted as near as practicable in a central line down longitudinally through the bristles 11 and the base 12. The degree to which the pin 13 penetrates the base 12 may be varied 3,309,727 Patented Mar. 21, 1967 in accordance with length of cavity or pocket 16 desired.
FIGURE 4 shows a top plan view of the brush with the attachment assembled thereto, indicating that the spreading action of the pin head 14 upon the bristles 11 will cause the bristles to arrange themselves in a circular distribution bordering the cavity or pocket 16 with the upper end of the pocket freely and at all times open to the introduction of the lather or foam shave cream indicated at 17 in FIGURE 5 in one application thereof in which the material 17 may be loaded into the cavity in a mass with portions thereof rising above the cavity if desired.
The depth to which the pin 13 is pushed into the base 12 will therefore control both the vertical or axial dimension of the cavity and also its width or diameter. The head 14 of the pin will serve not only as a spreader but also as a bottom or foundation for the cavity or pocket 16 and will form a floor on which the shaving material may be directly received and supported, which floor will, unlike the bristles, be imperforate and will prevent the shaving material from any further downward movement which also will be resisted by the ring of bristles laterally in the vicinity of the head 14 owing to the compaction of the bristles caused by the spreading movement. The ring of bristles, so spread, will be forced into a more compact or denser association, particularly at and for some distance above the pin head 14 so as to interpose a barrier to prevent exuding of the shaving material outwardly of the brush and to retain the same, at least in the lower portions of the cavity from being dissipated and wasted.
At the same time the upper portions of the bristles will be free to move, to execute their usual lathering operation and to retain their flexibility when moved back and forth across the face so that by the use of the attachment the lathering and consequent shaving operations are improved.
When the brush is worn out the attachment may be removed and replaced in a fresh brush without expense.
Where the pin 13 is made with a blunt lower end, a hole may be bored through the brush base 12 and the pin held therein by adhesive or other suitable means.
An ordinary shaving brush has a prescribed bristle assembly in which the bristles are set in a base with rubber, glue or other suitable material. The pin 13 and head 14 may be of any suitable material, for example, metal, plastic, etc.
Although I have disclosed herein the best form of the invention known to me at this time, I reserve the right to all such modifications and changes as may come within the scope of the following claim.
What is claimed is:
A foam shave applier comprising (a) a stand-handle,
(b) a brush base secured in the stand-handle,
(c) an assembly of shaving brush bristles having ends thereof afiixed in said base,
(d) means for spreading the assembly as to major lengths of the bristles in a substantially hollow circular conformation to form a foam-receiving internal ever-open cavity at outer ends of the assembly, said means including a pin comprising (e) a shank fastened in the brush base and extending a substantial distance outwardly of the base and outwardly of the adjacent end portion of the standhandle,
(f) a spreading head on the shank at its outer free end portion embedded in the bristle assembly and causing the bristles to form into said circular conformation providing said cavity of which said head forms a base,
(g) the outer portion at least of said head being flat and smooth, and
d- 0.3 (h) said pin head being thin and flat as to its under- 1,694,364 12/1928 Albright l5192 surface and located in the brush assembly a distance r 2,656,559 10/1953 Vliseman 15176 X Within the cavity greater than half the length 0f the 2,786,222 3/1957 Rolker 15-193 bristle assembly to produce a substantial cavity with a relatively dense side wall for holding shaving 5 FOREIGN PATENTS f 663,618 4/1929 France. v
