To all wlaom-it may concern: Y

Be it known that we, HOWA D Forms HANSELL, Jr.,-a-nd Geonon D. Lewis, citizens of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and use ful Improvement in Self-FeedingShaving- -Brushes, of which the followingis a full,

clear, and exact description, referencebving had to the accompanying drawmgs. winch Our invention relates to self-feeding shavmg brushes, and has for ts ObJE-Gl. to provide means whereby soap in liquid form may be contained in the hollow handle and fed to the brush by compression of the base of the bandle.

. a I i In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side-{deration of the brush in upright positions 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the some.

a is a tubular metallic casing and I) a closed rubber (-ap secured to and forming an extension of the casing. The casinprand cap together form the brush handle. To secure the rubber cap to the met al casing. the end of the casing adjacent to the rubber cap is provided wit-h an inwardly extending annulnlr the opencnd of the rubber" cap is confined. The thickness of the rubber cap is preferabl reduced at its open end so as to facilitate its eoiriinernent inposition by means of the ring d. The bristle portion a of the brush inseried into the contracted upper end of the ine tal easing. A f is a rubber tube of a length preferably ..,son\ewhat greater than the length of the bandie. the upper end of the rubber tube extending into the center of the base of the bristle portion and approximately half way thcre j through, the lower end of the rubber tube terminating preferably a. very short distance above thc'closed end of the rubber esp. SUI; rounding and secured to the rubber tube is a sleeve II, which is inserted into the base of the bristle portion, so as to relicve'the rubber tube at this point from the TLGSSIUG of the confined bristles. [n the wet of the metal internal annular flange 1' formed on the ody and threaded to receive ascrew cap is.

In asseinlivling the parts, audits sleeve are inserted into portion, body. 7 or 'lhebrush is then inverted and-rosin Specific alien of Letters Patent: I v i Application filed December 23.1907. Serial No; 407.781.

.and liqui the rubber tube the bristle 1 which is inserted into the handle some equivalent substance is poured 'Petenteii. 4, 1908.

The soap, in liquid form, then poured intothe hollow handle and after the sain'e is tilled, the screw cap is threadeibonto the flange It; The brush is now ready fo use.

ln'order to'force soap into thebristle pofl tion, the rubber cap is squeezed, causingthe soap to be forced up through the rubber tube and out the open end thereof into the bristle portion, the rosin parking at the upper end of the handle preventing any soap passing, into the bristle portion except rubber tube.

In manipulating the-brush asjust deseribed, the handle may be held in an posinon.

It will be-undcrstood that. the brush may be used, without replenishing the soap, as long as the level of the llqtlld, 1n the handle, when the latter )5 held in an upright position,

is abovethe lower end of the rubber feed- The brush will not leak, no matter in so tube. I what position it inav be held, the internel diameter'of tlie'tubetf (preferably about of .an inch) hemp so small that capillary attraction will Li-event a simultaneous flow of air n'o llt' uid can low out o the tube, unless the cap b is compressed, owing to the air-tight nature of the soap receptacle. Having now fully described our invention,

what we claim and desire to protect by Letgo tors Patent is:--

1 A self-feeding shaving brush-comprising a tubular casing and a. flexible cap secured thereto at one end and form ng together'a hollow handle for receiving and holding liquid soap, a bristle portion seeuredto the op posite end of the casing, and a tube within the handle and extending substantially throughout its length andpartway'into the. bristle portion.

2. A self-feeding shaving brush comprising a tubular casing and a flexible cap secured thereto at one end and forming together a. hollow handle for. receiving; and holding liquid soap, a bristle portion secured to and closing the opposite end ofthe casing,

a tube separate from the cap and inserted int-othebase of the bristle portion and extending into the hollow handle, end means closing communieauon between the bristle portion and the interior of the handle except throughsaid tube.

ICE. f

through the -7 therein in opposite directions and 35 I a hollow handle formed at one end of exiole material so as to be com ressible and at the other end formed of rigid material, a bristle portion inserted in and-sup orted by the rigid end of the hollow hand e, and a tube 3. A self-feeding shaving brush comprising supported by the bristle portion extending throughthe rigid part of the'handle, and into the compressible pert thereof and. terminatingnear the latters closed end;

, 4. A self-feeding shaving brush comprising a tubular casing and a flexible cap secured thereto at one end and forming together a hollow handle for receiving and holding liquid soap, a bristle portion secured tothe opposite end of the casing, and a tube within the handle and extending substantially,

throughout its length and part way into the bristleportion, and a hand between which and. the first named end of the casing the open end of the capis confined.

5. Aself-feeding shaving brush comprising a tubular casing and a flexible cap secured thereto atone end and forming together a hollow handle for receiving and holding liquid soap, a bristle portion secured to the o uid soap, a bristle portion secured to the opposite end of the casin and a flexible tube within the handle and extending substantially throughout its length and part way into the bristle portion, and a sleeve surrounding the tube along a part of its length and inserted into the base of the bristle portion.

7. A self-feeding shaving brush comprising a tubular casing and a flexible cap secured thereto at one end and forming together a hollow handle for receiving and holding liq uid soap, a bristle portion secured to the o posite end of the casing, and a tube within the handle and extending substantially throughout its length and part way into the.

bristle portion, and a sealing material within the casing and covering the base of the bristle portion.

8. A self-feeding shaving brush comprising an orificed tubular metal casing and a flexible cap secured thereto a3. one end, a cap closing said orifice, a band confining the flexible cap around and against one end of the metal casing, a bristle portion secured in the other end of the meta casing, a sealin material within the casing and covering t e base of the bristle (portion, a flexible tube within the.

handle an bristle portion, and a sleeve on that part of the tube inserted into the bristle portion.

In testimony of which invention, we have hereunto set .our hands, at Philadelphia, on this 18th day of December, 1907.
