Shaving brush device and system for holding and heating a shave cream cannister and dispensing shave cream therefrom

A shaving cream heating and dispensing system, comprising:

• a housing forming a handle, the housing having an upper portion having a bore through a top end of the upper portion, the housing further having a lower portion, wherein the upper portion and lower portion each have a cylindrical cavity therein, and wherein the cylindrical cavity of the upper portion and the cylindrical cavity of the lower portion are contiguous and coaxial along a longitudinal axis of the housing, wherein the cylindrical cavity of the top portion extends from the top end to a bottom end of the top portion, and the cylindrical cavity of the lower portion extends from a top of the lower portion to a bottom of the lower portion, wherein the top of the lower portion is positioned at the bottom of the upper portion, wherein the upper and lower portions are slidably moveable relative to each other along the longitudinal axis upon the upper portion being pressed downward toward the lower portion when the upper and lower portions are assembled together, a shaving cream aerosol canister housed in the cylindrical cavities of the upper and lower portions of the housing such that a nozzle of the shaving cream aerosol canister is in the bore of the upper portion of the housing and a bottom of the shaving cream aerosol canister is in the cylindrical cavity of the lower portion of the housing and wherein the bottom of the shaving cream aerosol canister bears against the bottom of the lower portion of the housing;
• a brush including a set of bristles located on the top end of the top portion of the handle in a collar, a channel formed through a center of the collar, the channel having a shoulder for engaging a nozzle stem of the shaving cream aerosol canister, wherein shaving cream in the shaving cream aerosol canister is dispensed through the channel into the set of bristles upon sliding the top portion axially downward with respect to the shaving cream aerosol canister;
• and
• a heating element in the lower portion configured to heat the shaving cream aerosol canister when the shaving cream aerosol canister is inside the handle.

A shaving cream heating and dispensing device, holding a shaving cream aerosol canister having a nozzle stem, the device comprising:

• a housing including an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion and lower portion of the housing each include a cylindrical cavity, wherein the cylindrical cavity of the upper portion and the cylindrical cavity of the lower portion are aligned along a longitudinal axis of the housing and the housing is configured to hold the shaving cream aerosol canister therein with an upper portion of the shaving cream aerosol canister in the cylindrical cavity of the upper portion of the housing and a bottom of the shaving cream aerosol canister in the cylindrical cavity of the lower portion of the housing and wherein the bottom of the shaving cream aerosol canister bears against a bottom of the lower portion of the housing in the cylindrical cavity of the lower portion of the housing, wherein the cylindrical cavity of the upper portion of the housing extends from a top end to a bottom end of the upper portion of the housing, the cylindrical cavity of the lower portion of the housing extends from a top of the lower portion to the bottom of the lower portion of the housing, wherein the top of the lower portion of the housing is positioned at the bottom of the upper portion of the housing, wherein the upper and lower portions are slidably movable relative to each other along the longitudinal axis upon the upper portion being pressed downward toward the lower portion when the upper and lower portions have been assembled together, the upper portion including a brush at the top end, a channel formed from a top of the cylindrical cavity to a set of bristles of the brush, the channel including a shoulder that is configured to bear against a top of the nozzle stem of the shaving cream aerosol canister;
• the lower portion of the housing including:
• a heat conductive cup surrounding the cylindrical cavity of the lower portion that is configured to receive the bottom of the shaving cream aerosol canister therein in thermal contact with the shaving cream aerosol canister,
• a heating element configured to heat the cup and a control circuit to control operation of the heating element, and
• wherein the nozzle stem of the shaving cream aerosol canister biases the top portion of the housing away from the lower portion of the housing as a result of the nozzle stem of the shaving cream aerosol canister bearing against the shoulder in the channel, and the bottom of the shaving cream aerosol canister bearing against the bottom of the heat conductive cup, and wherein the upper and lower portions of the housing are configured to slide relative to each other so as to compress the nozzle stem of the shave cream aerosol canister as the bottom of the shave cream aerosol canister bears against the bottom of the heat conducting cup to thereby dispense shave cream through the channel into the brush.
