Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. $1919.
Application filed September 18, 1917. Serial No. 191,989.
To all whom it may concern. 7
Be it known that I, J osEPH HENRY MUL- LALY, of the city of Winnipeg, 1n the Province of Manitoba, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paste Stands and Feeders, of which the following is the specification.
The invention relates to improvements in paste stands and feeders and the general object of the invention is to provide a mechanical appliance sanitarily constructed which will receive a tube of paste and wlnch can be manipulated to eject or squeeze out the paste for application on a brush and to arrange it such that the tube will discharge in a fixed location and further to arrange it so that the discharging end of the tube will be normally closed by a movable closure plate which is mounted so that it can be shifted by the. insertion of a brush in a loca tion beneath the discharging end of the tube.
A further object of the invention is to construct the appliance so that it can be conveniently manipulated either by a right or left hand person and so that the paste tube can be easily placed and held in position and the paste readily discharged therefrom when required and further to arrange the construction such that the closure plate can be conveniently released or opened by the insertion of the brush and such that the brush in accomplishing this action-will be brought to a position to receive the paste discharged from the tube.
With the above more important objects and other minor objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the in vention consists essentially in a base,-a vertically slidable table mounted on the base, an elevated winder disposed centrally above the table and adapted to receive and suspend the paste tube. means for receiving and locking to the table the discharging end ofthe tube and a specially constructed spring pressed closure plate mounted on the table and normally closing the discharge end of the tube, the parts being arranged and constructed as hereinafter more particularly described and later pointed out inthe appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 represents a front view of the complete device with the tube inserted.
Fig. 2 represents a side view-of the applianc'e and showing a tooth brush about to be inserted.
Fig. 3 represents an enlarged detailed vertical sectional view through the top of the appliance, the section being taken in the plane denoted by the line XX Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 represents a horizontal sectional view through the appliance, the section being taken in the plane denoted, by the line YY Fig. 2 and with the locking lever appearing in the .open position. Fig. 5 represents anenlarged detailed longitudinal sectional view through the locking appliance and adjacent parts carried by the table. f
Fig. 6 representsan, enlarged plan'view of the locking device with the lever shown in the in position and the jammed discharging. end of the tube positioned as i caught. v p r Fig. 7 represents a vertical sectional view through the rear end of the table and looking toward the rear side of the closure plate.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures. f
1 represents a comparativelyheavy circular base on which I mount four upstanding concentrically arranged and equi-spaced corner posts 2, 3, 4 and 5 forming guides, these being permanently fastened to the base such as by contracting the lower ends of the posts and boring the base and inserting the contracted ends of the post through the base and applying fastening nuts 6 on the lower ends. The posts are all of an equal length and support abox like closure piece or easing 7 which has the bottom thereof openand is fastened in any suitable way to the post such as by screws 8. The casing carries the winder 9 which com prises a cross shaft 10 rotatably mounted in the sides of the casing and fitted at the ends with finger pieces 11 and 12 in the nature of end disks having roughened circumferences to insure an easy grip. v
The shaft, in a location between the sides of the casing, is slotted lengthwise as indicated at 13. the slot being utilized for a pur pose later disclosed.
On the guides I mount for vertical sliding movement a table 14 which carries an appliance 15 adapted to receive and lock to the table the discharging end of a flexible paste tube 18 of the ordinary form.
In order to insure of the easy sliding movement of the table on the guides, sleeves 17 are slidably mounted on the guides and have their lower ends attached in any suitable manner to the table.
The tube above referred to is of the ordinary type in which material such as. tooth paste or similar produce is marketed and it comprises a more or less tubular flexible body 18, having a screw threaded discharging nipple 19 (customarily provided with a closure cap, not shown) and the upper end closed by a cross clamping piece 20.
Under ordinary circumstances the paste is discharged from these tubes by hand manipulation, it beingsimply a matter of removing the cap and then rolling the upper end of the tube to squeeze the material out of the nipple.
The appliance 15 for receiving and looking the nipple 19 to the table is now described in detail. I
It .comprises side members 21 and 22 in the nature of side walls which support a double top presenting spaced cross plates 23 and 24 provided forwardly with Vertically registering openings 25 and 26 and receiving between them a locking lever 27 mounted on apivot pin 28.
The lever is supplied with a thumb iece 29 and is constructed to present a biting edge 30 which, in the open position of the lever (see Fig. 4), is entirely clear of the openings 25 and 26 and in the closed posi tion of the lever projects across the openings (see Fig. 6).
Underneath the plates the table is cut away as indicated at 31 and it is supplied with two downturned side lugs 32 and 33 which carry a cross spindle 34 having an upstanding lever like extension 35 and formed at one end with a coiled. spring like extension 36, the extremity of which is suitably fastened as by soldering and as indicated at 37 to the undersideof the table.
This arrangement is such that the exten- S1011 35 normally remains in the upstanding position and resists any turning action in the direction indicated by the applied arrow Fig 5.
he extension 35 is positioned directly to the rear of a substantially L-shaped closure plate 38 pivotally swung from the spindle and having the horizontal portion thereof carrying a pad 39 formed from cork, rubber or similar material.
40 represents a stop bar crossing the-opening 31 in the table and adapted to limit the downward travel of the closure plate when the same is turned in the direction indicated by the applied arrow Fig. 5.
The nipple receiving and locking appliance is positioned vertically relative to the winding shaft such that when the upper end or clamp of the tube is inserted in the cross slot 13 the tube will hang vertically when the nipple is inserted in the openlngs 25 and 26.
The appliance as above disclosed has been constructed particularly for use with tubes containingtooth paste and it is provided with outstanding holders 41 and 42 formed as part of the top casing which are adapted to receive and suspend the tooth brush when the same is not in use.
In order that the invention may be completely understood I will first describe the manner in which the tube is inserted and afterward the manner in which it is used to apply the paste on the brush.
The cap of the tube is removed from the nipple and the tube is inserted in the machine with the nipple down. At this time the table will be resting on the base 1. The nipple is then inserted into the openings 25 and 26 with the lower end thereof engaging the pad 39 and with the top end or clamp of the tube passing in the direction of the winding shaft. In this position the nipple is locked to the table by swinging the lever 27 from the positionshown in Fig. 4 to that shown in Fig. 6, where it will be observed that the biting edge 30 of the lever will bite in against the threads of the nipple and jam the nipple over against the opposite edges of the openings 25 and 26.
Once the lever has been brought to this latter position the tube is securely fastened and with the discharge opening in'the nipple closed by the pad.
The next operation is to raise the tube and consequently the table until the upper end or clamp of the tube can be inserted within the cross slot in the winding shaft in which position it is best shown in Fig. 3. This sets the machine so to speak.
When one desires to apply the aste on the bristles of a tooth brush the bristle end of the brush indicated at 43 is brought to v the shaft. This action obviously expels the paste from the tube through the nipple and if coincident with the winding actlon one vpulls the brush out, the paste will be distributed on the upper surface of the brush in a lengthwise extending strip ready for use on the teeth.
memes vertically it will be seen that it will accom-- modate the ever decreasing length of the tube which, as it is wound on thefshaft from time to time, effects the up-pulling of the table.
When the tube has been emptied of its contents it is a very simple matter to unlock the nipple and insert a new tube in the manner herein before disclosed.
What I claim as my invention is:-
1. The combination with the discharge end of apaste tube and means for receiving and.v
locking the discharge end of the paste tube in a fixed position, of an L-shaped closure plate disposed beneath the discharge end of the tube and having one end .pivotally' mounted and the other end horizontally disposed and normally directly opposing the discharge end of the tube, a pad mounted on the horizontal end of the plate and engaging the discharge end of the tube and a spring holding the plate with the pad engagin the discharge end of the tube,
