Improvements in Barbers' Shaving Cases with Apparatus for
Heating Water therein.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex,
Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by Carl Gaede, of Bützow,
Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwer, Germany, Barber, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:
--
This invention relates to improvements in barbers' shaving cases which are provided
with apparatus for heating water therein. In apparatus of this kind as heretofore
used, the receptacle containing the water to be heated is fixed to the lamp or linked
to the case proper in such a manner that either the receptacle has to be provided with
a stopcock or the shaving case must be turned over in order to cause the heated water
to flow out of the receptacle. Now by the turning over of the shaving case there is a
danger of the shaving case becoming ignited or burnt, and the stopcock is an object
increasing the cost of the apparatus without reason; furthermore such a cock is some-
times troublesome in its management. According to my invention the receptacle
containing the water to be heated is of the shape of the well known sheet metal
bottle used by barbers, this sheet metal bottle being inserted into a compartment
in the shaving case in such a manner that it can be taken out after bringing a cross-
beam, rod or the like into its open position.
An improved shaving case of the kind herein before indicated is illustrated in the
annexed drawings, Fig. 1 of which is an elevation showing the shaving case open, and
Fig. 2 a section on the line II-II of Fig. 1.
That half of the shaving case which contains the sheet metal bottle a and the
receptacles b c intended for the soap and the lather is divided into four compartments
by means of a vertical partition d, Fig. 1 and by two horizontal partitions e, Figs. 1
and 2, and 8, Fig. 1. The compartment f is intended for the sheet metal bottle a
which latter is supported on a bracket i. This bracket i is fixed to the back k of the
shaving case proper at a suitable distance from the partition e, Fig. 2. The com-
partment g situated below the partition e is intended for the lamp h Figs. 1 and 2.
In order to allow the heat which is produced by the lamp h to enter the compartment f,
the partition e is perforated. The gases leave this compartment f in an upward
direction through a hole which is provided preferably with a grating m, Fig. 2.
Fresh air passes to the lamp h, when the shaving case is in its closed position, through
the hole n which also is preferably provided with a grating p. The cross beam or
rod q is in the example of construction shown in the annexed drawing supposed to be
linked to the casing proper.
The compartment g is closed by means of a glazed door r.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
my

beam or the like q, substantially as set forth with reference to the annexed drawing
and for the purpose specified.
