Description

Oct. 17, 1967 c. B. JOHNSON BRUSH ATTACHMENT FOR PRESSURIZED CONTAINER Filed April 11, 1966 TIE: 'E
lOca. l 20 INVENTOR CLARENCE B-JOHNSON AT TORNEY "FLEE -v United States Patent 3,346,908 BRUSH ATTACHlVIENT FOR PRESSURIZED CONTAINER Clarence Benjamin Johnson, P.0. Box 281, San Bruno, Calif. 94066 Filed Apr. 11, 1966, Ser. No. 541,820 6 Claims. (Cl. 15-552) The present invention relates to improvements in a brush attachment for pressurized container, and it consists of the combinations, constructions and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.
An object of the invention is to provide a brush attachment that may be readily secured to a pressurized container and firmly supported thereon so that contents of the container can be delivered to the bristles of the brush, the application of the brush attachment to the container being accomplished with facility and ease.
More specifically stated, it is proposed to provide a bracket having a suction cup secured thereto, this cup being made to be anchored to the container, and the brush having a tubular handle made to be connected to a discharge spout of the container, whereby contents of the latter may be conveyed to the brush. Moreover, the bristles of the brush are arranged in a position so that the bristles may be used without interference by the bracket.
Another object of the invention is to provide a spring clip on the top of the bracket that is adapted to engage with the handle of the brush so as to secure the brush to the bracket, whereby the brush may be readily connected to the bracket or removed therefrom.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the specification proceeds, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Drawing For a better understanding of the invention, reference should be had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of my brush attachment for pressurized container;
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along the plane 2-2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but disclosing a nipple for coupling the discharge spout of the container to the inlet end of the brush handle, this nipple being shown in section;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of FIG. 3, showing a discharge spout that is rectangular in cross-section; and
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4, but showing a discharge spout that is semi-cylindrioal in cross-section.
While I have shown only the preferred embodiments of my invention, it should be understood that various changes, or modifications, may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit thereof.
Detailed description Referring now to the drawing in detail, there has been shown a pressurized container designated generally at A in FIG. 1 for holding contents, for instance, instant lather for shaving, but I do not desire to be limited as to the contents. Such a container is referred to as an Aerosol container in the trade, and it has a discharge spout extending laterally therefrom and through which the contents may be discharged under control of a valve 11.
It will be noted that my brush attachment is designated generally at B in FIGS. 1 and 2, and it defines a bracket 12 having a suction cup 13 secured thereto by a stud 14 and nut 15, this stud passing through a slot 16 formed 3,346,908. Patented Oct. 17, 1967 in the bracket (see FIG. 2). This suction cup is made for being anchored to the exterior surface 17 of the container A. A foot 18 is provided on the lower end of the bracket below the suction cup 13 so as to bear against the container and steady the bracket, when the cup is anchored to the container.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, it will be apparent that a brush defines a tubular handle 19 positioned above the bracket 12, and this handle has an inlet end 20 made to be connected to the discharge spout 10 by being telescoped thereover, whereby contents from the container A may be conveyed to the hollow interior 21 of the brush handle 19. The slot 16 will permit the suction cup 13 to be adjusted vertically relative to the bracket 12 so that this cup may be positioned below the crimped annular flange 22 of the container, when the inlet end 20 is aligned with the spout 10.
As will be apparent from FIGS. 1 and 2, the brush has bristles 23 carried by a ferrule 24 and the latter is telescoped into the interior 21 of the handle 19 from the front end of the handle. The interior of the handle communicates through a bore 25 with the bristles 23, whereby the contents of the handle may be transferred to the bristles.
For the purpose of securing the brush to the bracket 12 for support thereby, a spring clip C is secured to the top of the bracket, for instance, by a rivet 26, and this clip defines a pair of spaced spring legs 27 made to straddle the brush handle 19 and yieldingly engaging this handle, as shown in FIG. 2.
As clearly disclosed in FIG. 1, the bristles 23 of the brush project outwardly beyond the bracket 12 in a direction opposite to the container A. The longitudinal axis 28 of the brush is disposed substantially at right angles to the vertical axis 29 of the container A. Thus the brush may be utilized without removing it from the spring clip C, with the user grasping the container in one hand.
The discharge spout 10 in FIG. 1 is cylindrical; how ever, Aerosol containers are now on the market that have rectangular-shaped discharge spouts 10a (see FIGS. '3 and 4) and semi-cylindrical discharge spouts 10b (see FIG. 5).
The brush attachment disclosed in FIG. 3 is identical with the one shown in FIGS. 1 and 2; therefore, like reference numerals have been applied to corresponding parts. However, in order to accommodate the brush attachment B to the rectangular discharge spout 10a in FIG. 3, a nipple 30 made of resilient material has been provided. This nipple has a bore 31 extending therethrough, the rear and front portions of this bore being made to telescopically receive the discharge spout 10a of the container A and the inlet end 20 of the brush handle 19, respectively, whereby the nipple 30 will convey contents from the container to the interior of the handle.
When the discharge spout 10b for the container (see FIG. 5) is semi-cylindrical in cross-section, the nipple 30 will have a bore 31' of this same shape.
In any event, the nipples 30 and 30' will have fluidti-ght connections with the discharge spouts with which they are used, and likewise these nipples will have sung fits with the inlet end 20 of the brush handle.
I wish to stress the fact that my brush attachment B has universal application to pressurized containers of various sizes and shapes and may be accommodated to discharge spouts of different cross-sections.
I claim:
1. In a brush attachment for pressurized container:
(a) a bracket having a suction cup secured thereto,
this cup being made to be anchored to the exterior surface of a pressurized container;
