- TOOTH-BRUSH RACK. v'
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,456, dated August 23, 1904.
' Appiicaeon flied March 10, i9o4.- serai No. 197,540. (No moda.)
To al?, whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GENEVIEVE HOWARD, of Franklin, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented-certain new and useful Improvements in Tooth Brush Racks, of which the following is a specification. y
This invention relates to means for supporting a plurality of tooth or nail brushes, and has for its object to provide a sanitary and -convenient rack or holder which is provided with means whereby the owners of individual brushes may be indicated, so that no mistake can occur.
The invention consists in the construction substantially as hereinafter describedO and claimed.
Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is aperspective view representing a preferred embodiment of my invention. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section of the same, taken at one side of one of the vholding lugs or pins.
Similar reference characters indicate similar parts in both views.
The base or back 3 of the rack is preferably of glass or similar vitreous material, although it is to be understoodV that I do not limit myself to the particular material of which the device is made. Said base or back is provided with holes to receive screws 4, by means of which the rack may be secured to a wall or other support. Projecting from the face of the said base or back 3, and preferably somewhat above tlie horizontal center thereof, are projections or lugs 5, arranged in pairs, as clearly indicated in Fig. l. When the device is made of a mold able material, these prob jections 5 will be integral with-the back 3.
The upper surfaces of said projections 5 are horizontal and slightly concave, so as to prevent a brush which has been engaged therewith, as indicated in Fig. l, from slipping off from the said projections.-
The upper edge of the back 3 is formed with a horizontal receiver, preferably in the form of an undercut or dovetail groove, for
supporting a namestrip or a plurality .of name-strips 6. Such name-strips may of course b e cut from the visiting cards of the owners of the brushes, or they may be especially written or printed for the purpose upon cardboard or metal. They are readily removable from the supporting or receiving groove by slipping them endwise therefrom,
and they may be easily placed in position in the same manner.
At the lower edge of the` back or plate 34 I form a ledge 7, so as to form a groove behind said ledge'to receive any dripping. The face l of the said back 3 is shownvas provided with aseries of vertical ribs 8, which serve to more clearly define the locations for particular brushes. Between said ribs 8 at the lower ends of the plate 4 I have shown numerals, asA l, 2, 3, 4, these numerals or any equivalentvdesignating characters serving to indicate at once the position for a particular brush.
The said numerals are preferably raised characters, and when the device as a whole is of moldable material, such as glass, they will be integral with the plate 3. They may be readily felt in the dark and the difference between them determined, so that a person can select a brush or return it to its particular vplace when such person has become familiar with the particular numeral of the division for supporting his or her own brush.
A'tootli-brush rack comprising a base or back plate of vitreous material havingv a plurality of pairs of integral brush-holding projections, and formed with a horizontal groove near its upper edge to receive a series of namecards above said projections, and having integral designating characters projecting from its face-below said projections and having vertical ribs between said designating characters.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GENEVIEVE HOWARD.. Witnesses:
R. M. PiERsoN, A. W. HARRISON.
