Description

Sept. 15, 1931. M. MICHELIN LET POWDER Patented Sept. 15, 193:1
tree STATES PATENT OFFICE MAROEL MICHELIN, OF STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO PINAUD INCOR- PORATED, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK CONTAINER FOR TOILET POWDER Application filed October 25, 1929.
This invention relates to a container which is particularly adapted for use as a container for toilet powder.
The art has encountered considerable difficulty in constructing a container which will be so constructed that the cover is easily applicable and removable and yet will seal the container so that the powder will be prevented from sitting from the container.
The principal object of the present inven tion is to construct a container which will obviate these difficulties and will prevent the finest powder from sifting from the container, even when the container is inverted intentionally or accidently.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the container;
Fig. 2 is a plan view looking at the top of the cover of the container;
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through the container; and
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the inside of the container. A
The container is formed of a compressible .and resilient material, sucl1,for instance, as
bakelite and the body 1 is of hollow cylindrical form havin a base 2. On the inside of the body of the container adjacent its upper edge is a series of interrupted screw threads 3.
The cover of the container is made up of a series of superimposed discs 5 of decreasing diameters, which on the inside of the cover form a series of circular depressions in the smaller 6 of which is located a removable color chart 6' for indicating the color of the powder within the container.
The cover 4 is provided with a depending flange 8 which is adapted to freely enter the cylindrical body 1 of the container and is provided with a series of interrupted screw threads 9. These screw threads are arranged to cooperate with the interrupted screw threads 3 to hold the cover on the container and to perform an additional function which will later appear.
In order that the joint between the cover 4 and the body 1 of the container may be sealed so as to prevent the sifting of the powder therethrough, the cover is provided Serial No. 402,387.
with a flange 10 which extends outwardly beyond the outer face of the depending flange 8 and is provided with a groove 11, the outer portion of which groove is defined by a depending flange 12. The inside diameter of this flange is substantially the same as the outside diameter of the body of the container.
\Vhen the cover on the container is turned into' place so that the interrupted screw threads engage the cover will be drawn down on to the upper edge of the body 1, and this upper edge Will seat within the groove 11. Continued pressure on the screw threads caused by the relative turning of the cover and body of the container will draw the two together tightly, so that the upper edge of the body of the container is tightly forced against the face of the groove 11, and a positive seal is thus formed between these two surfaces. Moreover, the depending flange 12 acts to create a seal between its inner ace and the outer face of the wall of the container. In the movement of the cover into place, the depending flange 8 together with the outer rim or flange 10 of the cover member operate in effect as a bell-crank lever, whereby when the depending flange is flexed diametrically inwardly, movement of the lever takes place about the annular horizontal resilient portion of the cover inwardly of the flange l0 pressing the flange 12 into sealing engagement with the wall of the body portion of the container.
It has been stated that the container is preferably made of compressible and resilient material, such as bakelite, which may be cast in the usual manner so that when the cover and body of the container are tightly drawn together by the relative turning of the two and the inter-engagement of the screw threads the upper edge of the body of the container will be compressed and thus the seal will become more efiective than if no compression were possible. This wall and the container may be formed of such thickness of material that compression of the desired extent will be possible, or the upperedge of the wall may be beveled as at tin,
13 to a decreased thickness which will enhance the capability of compression.
With this construction there is a positive seal formed between the upper edge of the wall of the body of the container and the cover, and the resiliency of the upper edge will serve to maintain the cover in its proper sealing position on the body of the container. In addition, it will tend, because of its compression, to prevent the accidental unscrewing of the cover.
WVhat is claimed is:
1. A container having a hollow body portion having an upper circular wall portion, a cover member, a flange-like portion fitting over the top edge of said wall portion, a depending flange on said cover member within said circular wall portion and forming with the outer rim of said cover member, in section, a bell-crank lever and means for flexing the said depending flange member diametrically inwardly, at the same time holding the cover member down, when said cover member is moved into place, the cover member having an annular substantially horizontal resilient portion inwardly and above said means.
2. A container having a hollow body portion having an upper cylindrical wall portion, a cover member composed of a resilient condensation product permitting flexing of parts thereof, a relatively short.
flange-like portion fitting over the upper edge of said wall portion on the outside thereof, a depending flange on said cover member fitting within said cylindrical wall portion and forming with the outer rim of said cover member, in section, a bell-crank lever, and means for flexing the said depending fiange member diametrically inwardly, at the same time holding the cover member down, when said cover is moved into place, the cover member having an annular substantially horizontal resilient portion inwardlv and above said means.
3. A container having a hollow 'body portion having an upper circular wall portion, a cover member, a flange-like portion fitting over the top edge of said wall portion, a depending flange on said cover member within said circular wall portion and forming with the outer rim of said cover member, in sec tion, a bell-crank lever, inwardly projecting, raised screw-threads on said. wall portion, and screw-threads on said depending flange cooperating with said raised screw-threads for flexing the said depending flange member diametrically inwardly, at the same time holding the cover member down, when said cover member is moved into place so as to flex, through said bell-crank lever the rim portion of said cover, causing movement of the said flange-like portion into engagement with the said wall portion, thus forming a seal, the cover member having an annular substantially horizontal resilient portion inwardly and above said means.
4:. A container having a hollow body portion having an upper circular wall portion composed of a resilient condensation prodnot, a cover composed of a condensation product, said cover comprising a plurality of superimposed discs decreasing in size to the top, whereby the cover is stiffened, a flange-like portion fitting over the upper edge of said wall portion, a depending flange on said cover within said circular wall portion and forming with the outer rim of said cover, in section, a bell-crank lever, and means for flexing the said depending flange member diametrically inwardly, at the same time holding the cover member down when said cover is moved into place, the cover member having an annular substantially horizontal resilient portion inwardly and above said means.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification this 16th day of October, 1929.
