Definitions

  • This invention relates to a shaving brush and, more particularly, a shaving brush of the type having a multitude of bristles extending in the same general direction from a handle to form a body of bristles terminating at its free end in a domed-shaped end to the brush.
  • a brush is commonly used for applying shaving soap to a person's face or the like, either from soap contained in a shaving bowl or fluent soap squeezed out of a tube.
  • the applicator has either a fabric, foam, or brush having short bristles in order simply to spread a shaving cream which does not generate a foam and is not necessarily as pleasing to use for shaving purposes as is a genuine wet foam or lather.
  • the shaving assemblies have not been commercially successful.
  • a shaving brush comprising a head having a multitude of bristles extending in the same general direction from a base to form a body of bristles, a handle on which the base is supported, a variable volume receptacle associated with the handle, and an outlet from the variable volume receptacle, the shaving brush being characterised in that the outlet is in the form of a tube extending into the body of bristles to terminate in an open end within such body.
  • outlet tube to extend through the base in a roughly axial direction; for the outlet tube to be flexible so as to flex with the bristles in use; for the receptacle to be constituted by a cylindrical bore in the handle and wherein the volume of the receptacle is variable by virtue of a plunger movable along the length of the receptacle.
  • the plunger to be manually movable along the length of the receptacle or, alternatively, for the plunger to be in co-operating relationship with a rotatable, axially extending operating member wherein rotation of the operating member causes axial movement of the plunger along the receptacle to vary its volume; and for the head of the. shaving brush to be removable from the handle and to define a closure at one end of the cylindrical receptacle.
  • FIG.1 is a sectional elevation of one embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG.2 is a cross-section taken along line II to II in Figure 1 ;
  • FIG.3 is an end view from the end opposite the bristles;
  • FIG.4 is an elevation of a charging or refill container
  • FIG.5 is a sectional elevation of a second embodiment of the invention.
  • a shaving brush generally indicated by numeral (1 ), has a head (2) fixed to one end (3) of a handle (4).
  • the head (2) comprises a multitude of bristles (5) forming a body (6) of bristles carried by a base (7) fixed to the handle.
  • the handle has a circular cross-sectioned bore formed co-axially therewith and defining a receptacle (8) open at the end (9) of the handle opposite the bristles.
  • the open end has an externally screw threaded spigot (10) with which a retainer ring (1 1) co-operates releasably in order to maintain a relatively rotatable closure (12) in its operative position to close the receptacle for use.
  • the closure (12) has a diametrically extending finger grip (13) whereby it may be rotated.
  • a plunger (14) co-operating with a screw threaded axially extending operating rod (15) which is rotatable in unison with the closure (12).
  • the plunger (14) has, as shown most clearly in Figure 2, a plurality of outwardly directed projections (16) extending from its periphery and which co-operate with complimentary grooves (17) in the surface of the bore in order to prevent rotation of the plunger relative to the bore.
  • rotation of the closure (12) by means of the finger grip (13) causes longitudinal movement of the plunger in one direction or another.
  • the end of the receptacle at the bristle end of the brush has an outlet in the form of a tube -(18) extending axially from the interior of the receptacle to a position roughly midway up the length of the bristles so as to terminate within the body of the bristles.
  • This tube is preferably flexible so that as the brush is used it can flex to and fro, at least to some extent, with the bristles.
  • the receptacle is charged with a fluent shaving soap and to facilitate this a charging or refill container (19) (see Figure 4) is employed.
  • the container (19) has a removable cap (20) at one end and a plunger (21) forming a closure at the opposite end and which can be moved along the length of the container simply by pushing it inwardly so as to expel the contents thereof.
  • the diameter of the container is complimentary to that of the receptacle so that its end (22) from which the cap has been removed fits snugly in a shoulder (23) formed in the open end of the bore for locating the closure (12) such that the bore of the container and bore of the receptacle are held in alignment.
  • the retaining ring (11) is removed, as well as the closure (12) and associated operating rod (15) and plunger (14).
  • the refill container is then located in the shoulder (23) and the plunger (21) pushed fully along the length of the container to force the fluent shaving soap into the receptacle.
  • the plunger, operating rod, closure and retaining ring (11) are then all replaced and the shaving brush is ready for use.
  • the closure (12) is rotated by way of the finger grip (13) to expel a required amount of shaving soap through the outlet tube (18) and into the body of bristles which, when wetted suitably, can then be used to apply a foam or lather to the face of a user.
  • the plunger (24) may be permanently retained within the handle at the end (25) remote from the body (26) of bristles by means of an inwardly directed shoulder (27).
  • the head (28) has a screw threaded connection (29) to the handle (30) so that the entire head can be removed to provide an access aperture to the receptacle (31) within the handle.
  • the outlet tube (32) forms a part of the removable head unit (28).
  • the head unit is simply removed and the receptacle (31) can be filled in any manner such as that described above.
  • shaving soap is, in this case, squeezed out simply by manually pushing on the plunger (24) from the end of the brush remote from the bristles to expel the required amount of shaving soap.
  • the handle portion which contains the shaving soap be made as a disposable item so that a refill purchased as and when required can simply be associated with a head, for example of the type described with reference to Figure 5, to form the completed shaving brush. This will obviate the possibly messy operation of filling the receptacle formed in the handle as described above.
