page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Henry Rolt Triscott at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 10th March 1880.
JOHN HENRY ROLT TRISCOTT, of Plymouth, in the County of Devon.
IMPROVED SHAVING BRACKET."
"AN
My improvements consist in a combined arrangement of mirror with sconces
and moveable or fixed arms or hangers, and drawers or receptacles for holding the
various articles necessary to a gentleman when shaving (such as water pot, soap
dish, shaving brushes, razor strop, razor cloth, and towel, &c., &c.,) in a convenient
and neat manner upon a bracket against the wall; and in order to render it
particularly useful and of great utility to military and naval men and travellers
generally, it is arranged so that it may be taken to pieces and put together in a
minute of time and can be packed into a very small case.
The mirror is hung on the bracket in such a way that its back can easily be
turned against the light (whether the window from whence the light comes be on
the right or left hand) without moving the bracket.
It will be obvious that my improved and complete shaving bracket may be
made from any suitable material, and that the shape or form of the bracket may
be varied to suit different tastes, and that the number of arms or hangers, drawers,
or receptacles may be increased or decreased, or varied in position and form
according to my Invention.
•
I now proceed more particularly to describe my Invention by the aid of the
accompanying Sheet of Drawings.
Fig. 1 represents a front view of my improved bracket with appendages; a is
the bracket; b, the looking glass or mirror; c, c, the sconces; d, e, f, and g are
arms or bangers, to hold hot water pot; e, soap dish; f, shaving brush; g, razor
wiper; h is the drawers to hold razors; i, the towel roller.
Fig. 2 represents a side view (with arms or hangers removed); j is the wall;
kc, the pivot on which the looking glass revolves; l, a receptacle for razor strop.
Fig. 3 represents a plan showing top of bracket and looking glass; dotted lines
represents the looking glass when turned either to the right or left hand.
My claim is for the combination of the various articles used by a person when
shaving on a bracket, substantially as herein described and illustrated."
