Application filed September 4, 1909. Serial No. 516,258.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, HUGH H. WOODMAN- see, a citizen of the United States, residing at Azusa, in the and State of California, have invented eertain new and useful Improvements in Fountain Shaving-Brushes, of which the following is a specification. i

This invention relates to brushes and has specialreference-to those devices which are known as shaving brushes.

Anobject of the invent on is to construct a shaving brush which .is of the fountaintype and in which the soap may be carried and in which the lather may be formed.

The invention'has for another object the provision of a brush of this character which maybe folded-into small space when not one which can be quickly and easily brou ht into operation when desired.

Other ob ects and advantages will be apparent from the following description andv itv will be understood that changes m the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In'the drawin s forming a portion ofthis specification, an in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the severalviews, Figure '1 isv a side elevation of the device in a closed position, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal central section, Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, Fig.

4 is a detailed and enlarged sectional view of the piston employed,lFig. 5 is a sectional view 0 the device in a closed position, Fig. 6 is a cross section beneath the disk 23'with the device in extended position. v Referring to the drawings, 10 designates a cylindrical casing which 1s provided at its lower extremity with an annular inturnedv flange 11 for the purpose of preventing the displacement'of a collar 12 slidably positioned 10. The collar 12 carries a' bunch of bristles 13 which, are secured at their upper extremities within the same and which are provided with a plurality of tubes 14 extended therethrough for the purpose of conveyin liquid soap into the lower end of the bunch of bristles 13. The upper extremity of the casing 10. is internally thread: ed to receive a cap 15 which is provided with a depended flange 16 bearing externally threaded for the purpose of securing the county of Los Angeles within the'lower extremity of the apertured centrally'through which is passed .a rod 17 which is provided. upon its upper outward extremity with a knurled head 18 which is adapted to be engaged by the operator to be rotated and reciprocated. The

rod 17 extends into the casing 10 where it is engaged in the upper extremity "of .a tube 19 centrally and longitudinally positioned within the casing 10 and is held meansof a lug '20 carried laterally upon the rod 17- at its lower extremity for engagecap 15 upon the casing 10. The cap 15 is therein by ment in alongitudinally formed slot 21 upon the inner face of the tube 19,

provided at its upper extremity with a shoulder '22 against which the lug 2,0 is adapted to be impinged by partial rotation of the rod 17 when drawn to the upper extremity of the tube 19. "The shoulder 22 looks the rod 17 and secures the. same in an extended position during the operation of 1 The upper extremlty of the 8O tion ofa perforated disk 23 which is adapted a to reciprocate upon the actuation of the,

the device. tube 19 is externally threaded for the receprdd 17.

The tube'19 is slightly enlarged intermediatel thereof, whlch enlargement is threaded an about which is secured a second per- "The slot 21. extends longitudinally of the tube and is forated-disk 24 which is spaced from the' disk 23 and which is adapted to reciprocate in parallel with the same, The lower-extremity of the tube 19 has a perforated pisten 25 mounted thereon which is provided with a laterally extended lug 26 for engage. mentin a longitudinally formed groove 27 in the inner face of the casing 10 to prevent the rotation of thejpiston 25 The tube 19 is rotatably disposed in the piston '25 but is rigidly held from longitudinal movement late 28 which is prolity of perforations is of cylindrical formation and which is cenwith the perfora- 25 when rotated The 19. A cake of soap 29 which trall apertured is positionedin ,the casing 10 a out the tube 19 between the disks 23 and 24 and lsfadapted to bereciprocated and alternately engaged upon its opposite sides by the same during the operation of the rod valve arranged to yieldably '17. A cap 30 is provided which is adapted I is removed from the tube 19. A cylindrical cake of soap is then disposed upon the disk 24 around the tube 19, after Which the disk 23 is again engaged thereon." The cap 15 is then secured upon the casing and the tube 19 rotated by means of the rod 17 to dispose the opening through the disk 28 and the piston 25 in staggered relation, after which the device is submerged in water and the rod 17 forced inwardly. By this means the collar 12 and bristles 13 are forced outwardly of the casing into their normal operative po-' sitions, and at the same time water is drawn in through the valve in the cap 15. The tube 19 is then again rotated to bring the opening through the disk 28 and piston 25 into registry, and the lug 20-engaged against the shoulder 22; the rod 17 is then reciprocated rapidly which forces the water from the 1 upper end of the casing through the soap chamber and into the lower portion and backwardly again, a repetition of which movement rapidly produces an efficient lather. The fluid is prevented frombeing forced outwardly through the tube of the brush, by the resistance of the spring engaged valve in the cap 15 and the fact that there is a clear passage through the disks 23 and 24 and the piston 25 so that no forcible suctionis induced. been properly formed, the rod 17 is again rotated with the-soap carrying portion at the upper end of the casing 10 to close the passages through the piston 25. Inthis position the principal portion {of the lather is below the piston 25, and upon inward pressure of the rod 17 the lather is forced down- 'wardlythrough-the brush, making it avail-- ablefor use. When it is desired to close the After the lather has eeaaea device after use, the bristles-are forced inward manually, the rod 17 extended into the centraltube in the bristles, and the cap 30 en aged over the lower end of the casing 10. What is claimed is 1. A fountain shavin brush comprising a casing, a cap detachaby secured upon the casing," a bunchof bristles secured in said casing, tubes extended through the upper extremities of said bristles, a perforated piston in said casing, a plate having perforations formed therein positioned ad acent said piston, a tube extended upwardly through said piston and said plate, disks disposed in spaced relation about said tube, said disks having apertures formed therethrough and a rod extended upwardly through the cap of said casing from said tube for the purpose of actuating the same.

2. Adevice of the class described compris itng a casing,'an inwardly turned flange disposed at the lower extremity of said casing, a collar slidably mounted in said casing, a bunch of bristles disposed in said collar, a plurality of tubes placed in said bunchof bristles at the upper end thereof, a tube longitudinally disposed in said casing, a rod engaged in said tube, a lug carried by said rod for engagement with a shoulder formed in said tube to hold the same in an extended position, a disk disposed about the upper extremity of said tube, a disk mounted intermediately of said tube, a piston disposed upon the lowerextremity of said tube, a lug laterally extended from said piston for engagement in a longitudinal groove formed in said casing, a plate disposed about said tube adjacent said piston, said piston and said plate having apertures formed there'- through adapted for registered relation at times and a cap disposed upon the upper extremity of said casing through which said rod is adapted to pass to be held in central relation to said casing.
