` FOUNTAIN WIN DOW-CLEAN ER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 422,429, dated March 4, 1890.
Application iled March 9.' 1889.
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY YV. MNCH, of Somerville, county of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Fountain Vindow-Cleaners, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts. i
This invention relates to fountain-brushes especially adapted for cleaning windows, dac., and is an improvement upon the fountainbrush shown and described in another application, Serial No. 273,793, filed by me May 14, 1888.
My present invention has for one of its objects to improve the construction of a fountain-brush, so that substantially all the water in a pail may be emptied therefrom into the reservoir or receptacle. I accomplish thisv new feature of my invention by placing the water-inlet valve substantially opposite the handle of the brush.
Another feature of my present invention consists in providing the reservoir or receptacle with a nozzle or nipple by which a hose may be attached to the said reservoir or receptacle, whereby a con tinuous supply of water may be forced through the perforated head ofthe said brush.
Other features of my invention will be pointed out in the claims at the end of this specification.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a fountain brush embodying my invention, and Figs. 2 and 3 details to be referred to.
The reservoir or rece tacle a, provided with the perforated plate a and perforated head a2, to which thebristles ai are secured, may be substantially such as shown and described in my application referred to. The reservoir or receptacle a is provided on one side, as herein shown, with a tubular extension t, into which may be inserted the usual handle b', and the said receptacle on its side substantially diametrically opposite the said tubular extension is provided with an opening or port bx, (see Fig. 2,) herein shown as encircled by an annular ring b2, forming within the reservoir or receptacle a valve-seat for a valve b3 of suitable shape to conform to the opening in the reservoir a. The annular Serial No. 302,621. (No model.)
ring 'b2 (see Fig. 2) has connected to it, as by radial arms b, a hub lf, through which is eX- tended the stem h6 of the valve b3, the said stein being` extended beyond the hub b5 and provided at its outer end, as herein shown, with a preferably rubber buffer 127, the said valve-stem being encircled by a spring bs, having one end bearing against the buffer lf, and its other end located in a socket in the hub bf. The valve t* on its upper face is preferably provided with a disk b, of suitable packing material, by which awater-tight joint is effected when the valve is closed. The reservoir or receptacle a is provided at its upper and lower edges or corners with preferably rubber bands c c', which act as fenders to prevent injury to the reservoir, and also to obviate breaking of the glass, if the said reservoir should come in contact therewith. The reservoir a is provided, preferably between the tubular extension b and the upper edge of the said reservoir, with a threaded socket c2, soldered or otherwise secured to the said case and adapted to be engaged by a threaded nipple c3 of a hose-pipe c4, so that the water may be continuously suppliedy to the reservoir a, if desired. The reservoir a may be provided with a tubular holder c" substantially in line ywith the socket c2 and adapted to contain soap c6, the said tubular holder being provided with perforations cw, through which the water may pass into the reservoir. Normally the water-inlet valve b3 is closed, and if it is desired to continuously discharge the water through the perforated head a hose c4 will Ybe coupled, as described, to the reservoir, and the wat-er admitted into the holder c5 will pass into the reservoir through the perforations om in the said holder and carry with itportions of the soap in the form of a lather, the said water passing through the perforated plate a and the holes in the perforated head'c. A
)Vhcn it is desired to fill the reservoir a from a pail containing water, the socket c2 will be closed by a threaded cap cs, (see Fig. 3,) and in this case the reservoir will be inserted into the pail and the inlet-valve b3 opened to admit water into it by contact of the buffer bl with the bottom of the pail, and
IOO
when the reservoir is withdrawn from the pail, the pressure upon the buifer t7 being relieved, the spring Z1 will close the valve and the Water in the reservoir will iiow through the holes in the perforated head a2. By placing the Water-inlet valve b3 on the side of the reservoir substantially opposite to the handle b it will be seen that substantially all the water in the pail may be emptied therefrom into the reservoir a.
I claim- 1. In a fountain -brush, the combination, with a perforated head and bristles attached thereto, of a reservoir a, provided 'with a normally-closed water-inlet valve, and a socket c2, adapted to be engaged by a hose-coupling', whereby the said brush may be intermittently or continuously iilled, as desired, snbstan tially as described.
2. In a fountain -brush, the combination, with a perforated head and bristles attached; thereto, of a reservoir a, provided With ai socket c?, adapted to be engaged by a hosecoupling, and With a holder c, located within said reservoir to contain soap, substantially as described.
3. In a fountainbrush, the combination, with a perforated head and bristles attached thereto, of a reservoir a, provided with an extension Z) to receive a handle and having,r a port bx, substantially opposite said extension, a valve b3, having a valve-stem, a hub Z1, secured to said reservoir and through which the valve-stem is extended, a buffer if on said valve-stem, and a spring encircling said valvestem outside said reservoir, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
