Application filed August 24, 1827. Serial ms. 218,000. i
This invention is a toilet article and more particularly an article for the propercare of the oral cavity. d
The object of the invention is to provide a simple and convenient appliance for maintaining a clean, sanitary and healthy condition of the oral cavity and, more particu.
larly, for the cleaning of the teeth, the mas o sage of the gums and scraping of the tongue.
I provide a suitable handle, at one end of which is mounted a tooth brush embodying a substantiallyrectangular cluster of bristles adapted for the cleaning of the inner and r outer surfaces of the teeth. At the other end of the handle is pivotally mountedanother tooth brush of such shape as to efficient- I clean between the teeth and at one end of the handle is also pivotally mounted a tongue 0 scra er. The tongue scraper and both brus es are so 'pivotally'supported on the handle that they maybe moved into and out of cooperative relation therewithafter the manner of blades of a jack-knife, the-handle having a spring for maintaining the imple' ments against inadvertent shifting from one position to the other.
Particular attention is directed to the brush for cleaning the surfaces of the teeth. o This brush has a highly novel andeflicient" manner of mounting the bristle portion in a holder by which itis mounted on the handle. The holder ispivo'ted to the handle in a manner similar to jack knife blades and SI is of box-like form. "One side of the'f-boxlike holder is normallyopen, so as to permit "the brush to be moved laterally in an edgewise direction into or out of the holderand a latch is associated with the holder -to lock the brush in operative position therein. This arrangement provides for the easy substitution of refills, so that when the brush becomes worn or unsanitary, it maybe discarded and a new one substitutedinits stead. i brushes has heretofore been proposed, but the holders for these refills have possessed certain. disadvantages which it isone of the objects of this invention to overcome and which are in fact obviated by the improved construction of this invention.
' The brush for cleaning between the teeth is also of novelconstructioii. The body of the brush is substantially semi-circular and supportsan arcuate group ofbristleswith In practically carrying out the invention,
I am aware that the use of refills fortooth the peripheral contour of the bristles and the peripheral contour of the body ofsubstantially the same diameter, so asto permit the spaces between the teeth tobe efficiently cleansed, while preserving the mouthfrom latter brush is in the form of a metal shank flattened out and perforated to receive the glivot pin by which it is mounted on the hane. The structure is simple, economical to manufacture and thoroughly efiicient in the performance of its functions. 1 i
Features of the invention, other than those specified, will be apparent from the hereinafter detailed description and claims, when read inconjunction with theaccompanying drawings.
The accompanying drawing illustrates one practical" embodiment of the invention, but the construction therein shownis to be understood as illustrative, only, and not as defining the limitsof the invention.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of an article embodying the present invention. Figure 2 is a plan view of the structure shown in Figure 1. i d a Figure 3 is a perspective view of the holder for thetoothsuriface brush showinga brush removed from the holder.
Figure 4is a section on the line4-4 of v Figure 5 shows a massage tool may be employed inthe holder in lieu of the brush.
1 Figure 6 shows the briish at the hand end of Fi pics 1 and 2 and which brush isemploye [to clean betweenthe teeth. Referring tothedrawings, ldesi nates a handle which is open at one side as s own in Figures 2 and 4 and is provided at its oppo- .6 shown in the brush holder-is for the pivot 2 and the holder is mounted so as to swing into and out of the handle afterthe manner of the blade of a jack knife. The holder is formed with a solid body 7, the forward end of which is shapedto form a hollow receptacle 8, one side of the receptacle is substan- .tially closed by a flange 9, While the free end of the receptacle is provided with a return lip 10. a I
contact with the bristles. The body of this 20 in lieu of the bristles.
The base 11 of the receptacle is made sub,- stantially flat and from the body 7 extends anoverhanging flange 12.
As shown in Figure 3, the receptacle is open at one side to receive abrush l ihavmg bristles 15 of such number, arrangement and shape as to adapt it to brush between the surfaces of the teeth. Theback or solid portion of the brush is of a shape and size to be received within the receptacle 8 of the holder and is provided at its forward andj'rear ends with stepped projections 16 end 17, which, when the brush is in position in the holder, are adapted to underlie the flanges 10 and 12, respectively. Moreover, the stepped ends may be of any suitable shape and may be dove-tailed or otherwise, interfit with the holder beneath the flanges 10 and 12.
When thus positioned in the holder, one lateral edge of the brush will rest againstthe flange ,9 of the holder and the brush is adapted to be removablyheld in its position by means of a spring finger 18 mounted on a pivot 19 on the body of the holder. When the spring linger 18 is in the position shown in Figure 3, the brush may be readily slipped into and out of the holder, but when the brush is positioned in the holder and the spring finger 18 swung around into position to bear against the exposed edge of the brush, the brush will be held by said finger in rigid position within the holder and cannot possibly become inadvertently displaced.
Instead of employing the brush'shown in Figure 3, I may substitute therefor a gum massage implement 1 1 shown in Figured This implement has a rigid back of the same shape as the back of the brush and is provided with resilient massage projections It is adapted to be used to massage the gums and maintain them in a perfect condition. In practice,
' a the brush and massage implement may be used interchangeably in the holder as may 'be' desired by the user.
In order to allow for easy removal :of the brush or implement from the holder, the
flange 9 is cut away as shown at 21 to allow the opcrators finger to enter and remove the implement. It will be noted that the holder opens from the side and I have found this to be very oonveinent and to provide for a very tight andefiicient' grip of the implement held therein.
Mounted on the pivot 3 at the opposite end of the handle is a brush 22 particularly adapted for cleaning between the teeth.
This brush has a solid back- 23 of subtantial'ly segmental shape and with the solid back is associated a segmental group of bristles 2 1. The contour of the bristles form acontinuation of the contour of the solid back, so that this brush is substantially circular.
The brush is mounted on one end of a Wirerod 25 in any suitable manner and the other end of the rod is flattened out as shown at 26 and is perforatedto receive the pivot pin 8, so that!v the brush can be moved into extended or collapsed relation with re spect to the handle afterthe manner of a tailed, description that the toilet article of 1 this invention provides thoroughly efficient means for keeping the oral cavity clean, healthy and sanitary. The construction is compact and may be conveniently carried in a traveling bag or any other suitable re-' ceptaele.
The description sets forth the invention in its preferred practical form, but the invention is to be understood, asfully commensurate with theappended claims. 7
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a toilet article, a handle, a brush holder pivotally mounted on one end of the handle, a brush detaehably secured in said holder and shaped to brush the surfaces of the teeth, a second brush pivoted to the other-end of the handle and shaped to'brush between the teeth, and a spring mounted :on the handle and engaging with the brush holder at one end and the brush "at the other end to hold them againstinadvertent pivotal I movement.
2; In a toilet article, a handle, a brush holder 'pivotally mounted on one end of the handle, a brush detachably secured in said holder and shaped to brush the surfaces of I the teeth, a second brush pivoted to the other end of the handle and shaped to brush be-;'

Q
