PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Shaving Brushes.
I, ARTHUR QUINTON WALSH, of 26 Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, in
the County of London, Commercial Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
:-
My invention relates to improvements in shaving brushes, which consists of a
hollow spiral tube with a brush at the base, and a hollow spiral tubular cap or
nozzle, so that when a shaving stick of soap is fixed in the tubular cap or nozzle
and passed into the hollow spiral tube down into the brush it may as it wears away
be forced into its working position by screwing the cap or nozzle into the hollow
spiral tube containing the brush. The hollow spiral tube holding the brush is a
female screw, and the tubular cap or nozzle is a male screw.
The soap stick may be fixed inside the cap or nozzle in any suitable manner.
This invention is constructed of metal or any other suitable material.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Shaving Brushes.
I, ARTHUR QUINTON WALSH, of 26 Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, in
the County of London, Commercial Clerk, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in shaving brushes, which consists of a
hollow spiral tube with a brush at the base, and a hollow spiral tubular cap or
nozzle, so that when a shaving stick of soap is fixed in the tubular cap or nozzle
and passed into the hollow spiral tube down into the brush it may, as it wears away
be forced into its working position by screwing the cap or nozzle into the hollow
spiral tube containing the brush. The hollow spiral tube holding the brush is a
female screw,
and the tubular cap or nozzle is a male screw.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters
marked thereon.
The drawing represents one half in elevation, and the other half in vertical
section, divided by a centre line.
In carrying out my invention I prepare a thin metallic hollow spiral tube b and
in a suitable position I fix a collar with a male screw f. Below the collar i on the
hollow spiral tube I fix the hair or bristles by means of a rigid binding of metal
wire d, this said binding is covered by a ring e screwed to the collar i. Inside the
hollow spiral tube b I pass a spiral tubular cap or nozzle a with a screwed clip c
and the shaving stick of soap g all rigidly secured to each other. The aforesaid
hollow spiral tube a with the screwed clip c and stick of soap 9 is inserted or
screwed into the inside of the hollow spiral tube b in order to form the handle to
the shaving brush.
The herein before described mechanism may be attached to any suitable shaped
shaving or nail brush, or to any other brush where a stick of soap is required.
The soap or shaving stick g is forced into the brush as the soap wears away by
means of screwing the spiral tubular cap or nozzle a into the hollow spiral tube b
as before described.

page_text: The shaving stick of soap g is fixed to the screwed clip c as shown in the vertical
section.
My invention may be constructed of metal or of any other suitable material.
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. In a shaving brush, the combination of the spiral tubular cap or nozzle a
screwed clip c and the hollow spiral tube b with the hairs or bristles bound around
the tube b by wires d; and the collar i, male screw with the ring e, substantially
as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In a shaving, nail or any other brush, the combination of the mechanism,
substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
3. In a shaving, nail or any other brush, the combination of the mechanism and
a shaving stick of soap, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawing.
Dated this 11th day of March 1893.
