AEROSOL SHAVING CREAM DISPENSER AND APPLICATOR Filed July 12, 1965 INVENTOR.
ROBERT c. RICE JR. BY 2 United States Patent M 3,350,159 AEROSOL SHAVING CREAM DISPENSER AND APPLICATOR Robert C. Rice, Jr., 5741 N. 25th Drive, Phoenix, Ariz. 85017 Filed July 12, 1965, Ser. No. 471,185 3 Claims. (Cl. 401-190) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An aerosol shaving cream dispenser adapted to bear against the face and having a closed leading wall and a notched trailing edge Wall to dispense a uniform layer of shaving cream on a persons face.
This invention relates to an aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator, and more particularly to a cream dispenser and applicator which is readily usable in connection with internally pressurized aerosol cans or containers for applying shaving cream directly to the surface of a persons whiskered face.
Heretofore, various brands of aerosol shaving cream have been sold in pressurized containers, which are equipped with a manually operable valve and a small spout adapted to deliver shaving cream to a persons hand-s, whereupon the shaving cream or lather may then be applied to the face by the persons hands. This practice has been wasteful, time consuming and somewhat messy and has required a person to wash the excess shaving cream or lather from his hands before proceeding further with the shaving operation.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator which may be connected to a conventional aerosol container outlet spout and which may be used directly to apply a layer of shaving cream or lather to a persons face without the necessity of handling the lather and getting it on a persons fingers or without the necessity of having to wash the excess lather from the fingers before proceeding further with the shaving operation.
Another object of the invention is to provide an aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator which employs a very novel applicator housing readily connectable to a conventional container lather delivery spout and which may neatly apply a uniform layer of shaving cream lather to a persons face, preliminary to shaving.
Another object of the invention is to provide an aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator employing a hollow housing having an outlet and provided w1th an opening terminating in a leading wall edge and a trailing wall edge and wherein a relief portion in the tralllng wall edge is held spaced from a persons face by the leading wall edge, so that the leading wall edge may be moved along a persons face in a forward direction permitt ng egress of shaving cream through the relief in the trailing edge, thereby readily and accurately controlling the thickness of a layer of shaving cream or lather on a persons face, while moving the applicator of the inventlon thereover.
Another object of the invention is to provide an aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator which is readily connectable and usable in cooperation with conventional spouts of conventional aerosol shaving cream or lather containers.
Another object of the invention is to provide a very simple and economical aerosol shaving cream dispenser, which may be used in connection with various outlet spouts of shaving cream containers now on the market.
Another object of the invention is to provide a very simple shaving cream dispenser and applicator which may be manufactured in great volume at a nominal cost by a conventional injection molding equipment.
3,350,159 Patented Oct. 31, 1.967
Another object of the invention is to provide an aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator which is very simple and easy to use and which provides a substantial convenience to the user thereof when applying shaving cream lather to the face, preliminary to shaving.
Further objects and advantages of the invention may be apparent from the following specification, appended claims and accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a conventional aerosol shaving cream dispenser container showing the aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator of the invention in connection with the outlet spout of the conventional container;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the conventional container shown in FIG. 1 and illustrating the aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator in connection therewith and showing by broken lines, the application of a layer of shaving cream lather to the surface of a persons face;
FIG. 3 is a elevational view of the invention taken from the line 3-3 of FIG. 2 and showing fragmentarily a portion of a conventional aerosol shaving cream container;
FIG. 4 is a plan view similar to FIG. 1 showing a modification of the aerosol shaving cream dispenser and applicator of the invention; and
FIG. 5 is another view similar to FIG. 4 and showing a further modification of the invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a conventional aerosolshaving cream container 10 contains shaving cream under pressure therein and is provided with aconventional valve housing 12 having ahollow outlet spout 14 disposed to deliver shaving cream lather when a valve of conventional construction in thehousing 12 is manually operated in the conventional manner. As shown in FIG. 3, thespout 14 is a conventional hollow tubular spout and the aerosol shaving cream dispenser andapplicator housing 16 of the invention is mounted on thespout 14. As shown in FIG. 3, thehousing 16 is hollow and provided with a closedend wall 18 having anopening 20 therein, fitted over the perimeter of theconventional dispenser spout 14.
Extending from the closedwall 18 arewalls 22, 24, 26 and 28 forming a generally tubular housing construction which is hollow and terminates in anopen end 30. It will be seen that thewalls 22 and 24 are preferably diverging from the enclosedend 18 and that all of the walls terminate at edge portions surrounding theopen end 30, such that theedge 26, as shown in FIG. 2 may be termed the leading edge and may be moved in a direction, indicated by an arrow A over the surface of a persons face, indicated by a broken line B, while the edge of theWall 28 having saw-tooth notches 32 therein, may be operable as a trailing edge whereby a layer of lather, as indicated by a broken line 34 may be deposited on the outer side of the persons face, as indicated by the broken line B. The lather being extruded through the -shaped notches 32 as theopen end 30 of thehousing 16 is advanced in a direction of an arrow A with theside wall 26 at its leadingedge 36 being moved foremost over the surface of the persons face, as indicated by the broken line B. Thus, thehousing 16 is hollow and generally tubular and is preferably an elongated rectangular crosssectional structure shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings, wherein thewalls 26 and 28 are disposed in opposed spaced parallel relationship to each other and are relatively long as compared to thewalls 22 and 24 which interconnect thewalls 26 and 28.
It will be seen that thehousing 16 from its enclosedend 18 to itsopen end 30 is sufiiciently long, so that theopen end 30 projects beyond the side wall of thecontainer 10, when theopening 20 is fitted over theconventional spout 14.
As theedge 36 of the leadingwall 26 is moved in the direction of the arrow A, it bears on the surface B of a persons face and thus holds thenotched portions 32 or relief portions in the edge of awall 28 spaced from the persons face in order to permit extrusion of a layer of lather, as indicated by the broken line 34.
The term relief portion as used herein may be V- shaped in cross-section notches or may be arcuate notches 38 in a trailing edge of thewall 28 of the modification shown in FIG. 4 of the drawings or the term relief portion may apply to anelongated relief portion 40 formed by cutting back the trailing edge of theWall 28 in spaced relationship with the corresponding leadingedge 36 of thewall 26. Thus, the modifications shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 comprise various relief portions equivalent to the V-shaped in cross-section notches through which the lather may be extruded during application thereof to a persons face.
In operation, the conventional valve in thevalve housing 12 may be depressed by a persons fingers, while the can or container is held in the persons hand and theopen end 30 of thedispenser housing 16 of the invention may be applied to the surface B of a persons face and move in the direction of the arrow A, such that the leadingedge 36 of theopen end 30 of thehousing 16 may progress along the persons face and form a substantial seal to thereby force the lather to take egress through thenotches 32 or therelief portions 38 or 40, shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As theopen end 30 of thedispenser housing 16 is moved along the face, a uniform layer of lather may readily be applied and the width of theopen end 30 of thehousing 16 may be varied as desired to apply any desired strip width of lather on a persons face. In operation of the invention, it will be obvious that the hands of the operator do not become coated with shaving cream lather and that the economy of applying the lather with thehousing 16 of the invention and the uniformity with which the lather may be applied provides economic, as well as time saving advantages.
The simple construction of the invention readily permits a layman to secure thehousing 16 at its opening 20 onto thedispenser spout 14 of the conventional can orcontainer 10.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications of the present invention may be resorted to in a manner limited only by a just interpretation of the following claims.
