Improved Shaving Appliance.
I JOHN MAC MILRICK of 38, Guilford Street, Russell Square, Gentleman
late of 3, Friern Park, North Finchley North, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
A metal cylinder boiler (A), 2 inches by 1 in. diameter, with closing top and
concave bottom; with syphon tube attached to top, 1 inch outside length of
tube (B).
With small spirit lamp 1 inch diameter by inch depth (C), suspended from
bottom of boiler by two metal strips 2 inches in length (D & E).
Also having tank 14 in. by inch depth, (F) on top of which is a pin (P) on
which is a revolving spindle of rubber (G). The tank is attached to removing lid
of boiler.
The whole is encased by a cylindrical metal case, nickel plated, opening out in
two halves (M & N), this case is attached to back of boiler (K) and which when
open serves as a stand to support the whole.
Also cylindrical metal soap box with cover, inch by 14 inch diameter (H), with
perforated bottom; it is attached by a little hinge to one of the strips which support
the spirit lamp from boiler (a) so as to allow it to open out for use and to move
in under the boiler when not in use it moves in flush with bottom of boiler, which
bottom serves as cover.
The cup for receiving the boiling water (W) ejected from boiler is 24 inches in
length and 14 inch diam., and is attached to a pin in front of boiler (6). The boiling
water is ejected through the syphon tube by the pressure of the steam on the
surface of the water. When the cup is not in use it is detached and fits in under
the lamp & soap box. It is made of the same material as boiler and soap box and
also nickel plated. There is a little slot in it to allow it to be attached to pin on the
boiler, under the syphon tube.

page_text: The syphon tube which goes through top of boiler and to which it is soldered
bends downwards to a length of inches on the outside, its inside length is
1 inches.
The diameter at base of tube is inches while the diam. at mouth of tube is
16 inches.
It is turned from top of boiler so as to allow room for tank of razor-wipe which
is also soldered to top of boiler.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;
1. A self-pouring boiler for shaving water.
2. A razor-wipe attached to boiler for water for shaving.
3. A combination of water boiler, razor-wipe and soap box.
Dated this 12th day of September 1895.
