Problems solved by technology

Whilst that approach has led to various devices with differing levels of efficiency and associated problems, all of these devices suffer the disadvantage that, by utilizing an aerosol container that contains a propellant gas under pressure, they are expensive to manufacture and, where the propellant gas is a chlorofluorocarbon or a hydrocarbon, harmful to the environment.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]The shaving cream dispenser and brush apparatus 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 comprises a container 12, a brush 14, a rotatable base 16, a stem 18, and a movable platform 20.

[0038]The container 12 is generally cylindrical and has a floor 22 with an aperture formed at the centre of the floor 22. There is a top opening of the container 12 over which the brush 14 is received.

[0039]The brush 14 is, in this embodiment, threadably received over the top opening, but may alternatively be snap received over the top opening.

[0040]The brush 14 has a lower surface 24 and a downwardly depending annular collar 26 with internal threading 27. The brush 14 includes tufts of bristles 28, which are preferably made of goats hair, mounted on a bristle projecting surface 30. A passageway 32 extends between an opening at the bristle projecting surface 30 and an opening 34 at the lower surface of the brush 14. The lower surface 24 defines an upper extent of a storage interior 35 of the container for conta...

Abstract

A dispenser and brush apparatus (10) has a container (12) with a floor (22) and a top opening. The floor (22) includes an aperture therethrough. A brush (14) is received over the top opening and includes bristles (28) and a passageway (32) between the bristles and a storage interior (35) of the container for containing a flowable substance, such as shaving cream. There is a rotatable base (16) beneath the floor (22), and a stem (18) is connected to the base so as to be rotatable therewith. The stem (18), which extends through the aperture and upwardly in the container, includes a threaded portion. A movable platform (20) is threadably engaged to the stem (18) and defines a lower extent of the storage interior (35) of the container for containing the flowable substance. In use, rotation of the base (16) in a first direction causes the stem (18) to rotate therewith and the movable platform (20) to move upwardly through the container, thereby squeezing flowable substance contained in the storage interior out of the passageway (32) and through the bristles (28).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a dispenser and brush apparatus and, in particular, to a shaving cream dispenser and brush apparatus.[0002]Although the invention will hereinafter be described with reference to its application to dispensing shaving cream, it will be understood by persons skilled in the art that the invention is not limited thereto, but has wider application to dispensing any flowable substances that may be suited to brushing on surfaces, such as facial cleansers, foams, lotions, adhesives or surface coating compositions. The apparatus may be adapted for use by men or women, who may especially use it for dispensing liquid personal care products onto their skin.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Shaving cream is commonly dispensed or discharged from aerosol containers directly as a lather onto the skin of, say, the face, and then worked or massaged around the skin with a brush that is separate to the aerosol container, before applying a razor...
