Abstract

A combination brush and liquid soap dispenser having a soap container rotatably mounted on the upper end of an arm having a brush on its lower end. The container is rotated in one direction to dispense liquid soap and rotated in the opposite direction to block passage of the soap to the brush.

Claims

1. A liquid soap dispenser with brush combination, comprising:

an elongated arm having a longitudinal passage;

a first valve member carried on a first end of said arm so as to be rotatable therewith about an axis of rotation, said first valve member having a fluid opening for receiving liquid soap into said passage, and an arcuate opening disposed about said axis of rotation, said arcuate opening having a first end and a second end;

brush means carried on the opposite end of said arm, said arm having outlet opening means for passing liquid soap from said passage to said brush means;

a container;

a second valve member carried with the container so as to be rotatable therewith, the second valve member having a second fluid opening therein, and being supported in close proximity adjacent the first valve member;

a finger carried on the second valve member and received in the arcuate opening of the first valve member;

a collar carried on the arm and threadably connected to the container such that the container and the arm are relatively movable between a first rotated position defined by said finger engaging the first end of said arcuate opening in which the fluid opening of the second valve member is aligned with the fluid opening of the first valve member to permit passage through both of said fluid openings, and a second rotated position defined by the finger engaging the second end of the arcuate opening in which the fluid opening in the second valve member is blocked by the first valve member; and

an O-ring sealingly mounted between said valve members and said collar.
