part, ofthis specification, and to] the reference-numerals marked thereom I My present invention relates-to toilet articles and has for itsiobjectto provide a siin ple and eflicient spray head? for bathing; p ur-. poses which may be produced at a lotv; cost and offer certain; conveniences. in use.
To these and other ends the inventionjeon sistsin certain improvements and combinationsof parts all as will. be hereinafter-more fully described, the novel fieatures being.
pointed out in the claims at the end; 01? the specification.
In the drawlngsfi Figure 1 1s a top plan view of a bath and massage brush constructed in accordance with and illustrating one embodiment of my invention Figi 2 is. a
and Fig. 4: is a central longitudinal section taken substantially on the linse d o fF-ig. 1.
A convenient means, for connecting the holder to the head and one which I; preterit,
to employ, is best shown in Fig; 41, compris ing a plurality of clips 7 that may be stamped from sheet material; to; embody a central aperture 8, thatreceives the wire 5! and arms 91 and 10. The "first mentioned arm extends downwardly and inwardly, as shown, to hook beneath the under face 2 of the head; and over the, corner presented by the junction of this Wall with the peripheral 'sp eci'fication'of Letters Patent. Application filed April @1911, Serial no. 619,518.

or side wall 1 1 The latter-is preferably inclinedinwardly, as shown, so that when engaged by the other arm 10, extending above the wire 5,;thehead is prevented from pass- 111g through the eye of the holder in either direction, as will be understood As; before stated, there are a plurality of the clips disposed; at intervals about the circumferences of the connected members which positions they may attain by being threaded upon the Wire strip after it is formediinto an eye and I prefer to provide the holder with a non-abrasive covering 12 that may be constituted by rubber-tubing, also. threaded on the wire, but which is divided into sections lying between the several'clips They operate to hold the clips properly spaced and at the same time provijdea butferthat prevents the implement from doing damage orcausing any sound when knocked against other objects, such as ends of these grips the ends of the wire jholder are connected together by a suitable jtie piece 1e which retains the head 1 tightlyclamped within the eye of; the holder and Eat the same tin le provides a fulcrum for the relative movement toward and from each other 015 the handle grips 13, such a movenent ot the. outer ends of the latter being permitted by the resiliency of the material from which the, holder is made The head I s ppl d. w th ater y a preferably flexible rubber tube or pipe 15 that extends paralleh with and; between; the handle grips l3 and has its extremity'com nected with; the head l to; deliver into the same by a suitable coupling 16 that is preferably of kind permitting the supply pipe to be disconnected when desired. The
free or movable ends of the grips 13 have jaw faces 1 -7 thereon and when it is desired to temporarily out Oifg the flow through the pipe 115., or at least so diminish it that the jets. from the head will be diminished and not scatter the spray during certain manipulations of the implement, the operator Sim-- plytightens his grasp and presses the handle members 1 3Vtogether with the result that the pipe. is squeezed between the jaws 17 and constricted in the manner sh wn i g.
V When the handle members are released they release the pipe, but the resiliency of g the wire is such that the grips have sufficient normal rigidity to prevent the supply pipe vfrom being compressed to an effective degree .during ordinary manipulations of the the side wall or rim 22 is thrust within the socket or opening 19 of the head and,
as it is compressed when so inserted, its
expansive force and the clinging nature of the, material causes it to firmly and frictionally grip the walls of the opening with sufficient force to retain the brush' in its seat during all ordinary manipulations,though it may be easily and quickly removed with the fingers by com- "pressing it asit is pulled outwardly. The
walls'of the socket or opening 19 are preferably tapered and the brush is held in the small end so that it will respond with a wedging action upon the exercise of any force tending to. pull it from its seat. To make its position even more secure the brush and socket or, at least, the rim or retaining portion ofthe latter, may be provided with cooperating shoulders 28 and 24, respectively, that engage and interlock, in the manner shown in Fig. 4. The shoulder on the rubber cup also gives greater body to its retaining portion and renders its expansive tendency more effective. j The brush may be inserted from the topor larger side of the opening 19 in the head in the embodiment shown by thrusting it through the latter, bristles first, but -ordinarily it may be safely made sufficiently small I to insertrit from the other sideby crowdmg the fiangedportion or'rim thereof inwardly. mits different ones having difierent' characteristics to be interchanged asconditions' require, as, for instance,- coarse and fine brushes may be provlded .Wllll'l each implement. 'Also, the brush may be discarded if it is wishedto use the spray head or other compound instrument to which the brush is fitted" alone or the brush-may be itself used alone for massage purposes with or without disconnecting'the supply pipe from the head in the present embodiment. I
Features ofthe invention disclosed herein 1 such as relate to'the brush alone, independently of the specific nature of the holder towhich it is attached are not here claimed as The removability of the brush per-- .peripheral wall.
they form the subject matter of a separate divisional application, Serial No. 735,634, filed by me December 9, 1912.
r I claim as my invention:
1. The combination with a spray head having a plurality of jet openings therein,
of a holder composed of a continuous strip of material surrounding the head, a plurality of clips connecting it therewith at intervals, and a tubular non-abrasive covering for the holder composed of sections arranged between the clips and constituting a butter.
2. The combination with a spray head having a plurality of jet openings therein, of a holder therefor composed of a continuous strip of material surrounding the 7 head and terminating in end portions forming a handle.
3. The combination with a spray head having a plurality of jet openings therein, of a handle therefor composed of a pair of relatively movable members directly connected thereto and a flexible supply element delivering to the head extending between said members and adapted to be compressed thereby.
4. The combination with a spray head having a plurality of jet openings therein, of a handle therefor composed of a pair of relatively movable substantially parallel members directly connected thereto, a flexible supply pipe 'extendin longitudinally between the members and delivering to the head and jaw faces on the members adapted, when the latter are pressed together, to
pinch the supply pipe and cut off the flow 'therethrough.
5. The combination with a spray head having a plurality of jet openings therein, of a holder composed of a strip of wire surrounding the head and means for connecting the parts together comprising aplurality of clips having apertures through which the wire passes and hooked portions engaging the rim of the head.
6. The combination with a spray head having a plurality of jet openings in its neath the bottom wall and arms extending upwardly and inwardly and engaging the 7. The combination with a spray head, of
a holder therefor composed of a continuous strip of material surrounding the head and terminating in relatively movable resilient end portions jointly forming a handle and a flexible supply element delivering tothe head extending between said end portions and adapted to be compressed thereby' to a flexible supply element delivering to the aifect the flow when the latter are sprung together.
8. The combination with a spray head, of a holder therefor composed of a pair of members having rigid portions fixed to the head and a tie piece rigidly spacing the members adjacent to the head, said members terminating in relatively movable resilient 10 end portions jointly forming a handle, and" A head extendlng between said end portions and adapted to be compressed thereby to affect the flow When the latter are sprung together. a a FREDERICKO. HILFIKER.
