FOUNTAIN LIQUID-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 695,945, dated March 25, 1902.

Application filed June 10,1901. Serial No. 63,867- (No model.)

To all, whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MAX PFEIFER, inerchant, a subject of the Emperor of Austria- I-Iungary, residing in VII Zieglergasse, 5, Vienna, Austria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fountain Liquid-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to numerals of reference marked thereou,which form a part of this specification.

This invention has for its object to provide an apparatus for applying a quick-drying polishing material to shoes and the like; and it consists, essentially, of a receptacle for containing the material which is closed at one end by a plug of some porous substance and at the other end by a movable piston.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 2 an elevation, of an apparatus constructed according to this invention.

The apparatus consists of a tube 1, most suitably of circular section, which receives a viscous quick-drying polishing material and is closed at its lower end by a protectingplug 2, made of some elastic and porous substance, (thin leather filled up with wadding or the like,) which is best secured in position by clamping it in the tube. A piston 3 fits in the tube, which forces the polishing material against the plug 2. According to the drawings this piston is shown continually forced toward the porous plug by means of a spiral spring 4, which may be conveniently secured to the tube-cap 5, forming a cover for the upper end of the tube, which is open. This cap is held in position on the tube by a bayonetcatch 6 and can be removed, together with the spring, when it is necessary to refill the tube with polishing material. When not in use, the protruding porus plug is covered with a metal cap 8. A brush 9 may be secured to the cover,which may serve as a substitute for a cloth to remove dirt and thelike before applying the polish.

Where in the claim I use the term springpressed follower reference is made to the device which comprises the parts 3 and 4.

Having now particularly described and as- MAX PFEIFER.

IVitnesses:

ALVESTO S. lloeun, FRANZ REITER.
