RECEPTACLE FOR TOILET POWDERS.

UNITED sTA Es PATENT OFFICE.
FEEDIERIClIfI LOUIS BRAND, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
RECEPTACLE FOR TOILET POWDERS.
' To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK LOUIS BRANO, a citizen of-the United States, and resident of the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacles for Toilet Powders, of Which the following is a specification.
The device, the subject of this invention is intended as a holder for toilet powdersand has for particular advantages, an automatically operating closure which will keep the receptacle closed at all times.
This closure is so designed and constructed that even during the delivery of the powder from the receptacle the contents of the receptacle is not subjected to the atmosphere or to any dust, dampness or other objectionable influence.
The closure is also arranged so that it will deliver certain pre-determined quantities of powder in a well defined and molded shape. It is therefore possible to use this receptacle with the least possible loss of material. All of the advantages and the construction of the device will be fully set forth as the specification progresses.
The following is what I considerthe best f means of carrying out the invention and the accom anying drawing forms a part of this speci cation in which:
- Figure 1'. shows in elevation partly in perspective, a receptacle of my construction.
Fig. 2. shows my device in operable position.
Fig. 3. is a front elevation with the delivery nozzle open. I
Fig. 4. 's a sectional view of the cylinder.
Fig-5. is a sectional view of the cylinder the view being taken on the line 55 in Fi 3.
. Fig. 6. shows a modification of the oper-- ating means.
Fig. 7. shows a modified form of con- .tainer.
Similar reference numerals indicate like parts in all of the figures where they appear.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 1'7, 1918.
Application filed February 9, 1916. Serial No. 77,151.
as indicated at 1, the top of which is opened, and over or engaged with the opened top is the upper section 2 of the box. It will of course be understood that the connection between the two sections should be sufii ciently tight to prevent the material contained within the receptacle from passing through the joint. Y
Formed above and integral with the .upper portion 2 as a plurality of cup shaped projections 3 and 4 one upon each side Wall, and it will be noted that the taper 5 terminates in the cupped projections 3 and 4.
The top of the receptacle is closed except for that portion that extends between the members 3 and 4 and between these members I arranged a cylinder 6 which may by the use of the handle 7 be rotated in the cupped members 3- and 4.
In one side of th e'cylinder 6 I'form a recess 8 by depressingthe side of the cylinder for a sufiicient extent or by cutting away the side and inserting a trough of proper outline and area.
Within the cylinder and. secured one end to the cylinder and the other end to one of the cupped members is .a spring 9. The spring should be a coiled or torsional spring and the action of thisv spring will tend to rotate the cylinder 6 until the stop 10 impinges upon the adjacent sidewall of the upper member 2. When thestop 10 is in the position shown in Fig. 1, the recess 8 will be in communication with the interior of the receptacle and at this time when the receptacle is turned into. the operative position as shown in-Fig. 2 powder or other shown in Fig. 5, be formed integral with the operating handle 7 and when so formed it will be provided with a projection 11 which may be engaged in a perforation in the cupped member 3. Before engagement however the projection 11. should be rotated in the direction of the return rotation of the cylinder 6,so that when secure the spring will induce the cylinder to return to the position shown in Fig. 1.
I desire to call particular attention to the shape of the recess 8. In cross section this recess 8 is a V shaped trough but the ends of the trough should be rounded and should also be arranged upon an angle so that material received into the trough will drop away therefrom without difliculty and withoutbreaking the even outline of the material which has been shaped by its reception into the recess 8.
This device is particularly well adapted for use with tooth powders and as shown in Fig. 2, an operation of the cylinder 6 will cause the discharge from the receptacle of a pre-determined quantity of powder, a quantity that is determined only by the area of the recess 8.
In operating my device the cylinder is allowed to remain in the position shown in Fig. 1 until the receptacle is reversed and then when the cylinder 6 is brought into close roximity with the bristles 12 of a tooth brush the handle 7 may be depressed upon the oblique portion of the receptacle orinto the position shown in Fig. 2. This will rotate the cylinder or will pass it through one half of a revolution with the result that the recess 8 in the cylinder will be turned outward and will deposit its contents upon the bristles of the brush. The second discharge of material cannot take place until the cylinder 6 is allowed to return to its original position that as shown in Fig. 1, whereupon and if the container is held in the reverse position, the recess 8 will again become filled with powder to be discharged in the manner previously set forth.
I have stated that a coiled spring is used for the return operation of the cylinder 6. I may however use any torsional spring and in Fig. 6 I have shown a side spring one end of which is secured to the cylinder 6 and the other end of which is received in a slot in one of the cupped shaped members. It will also be noted that the shape of my device may be altered and that other modifications shaped recess formed therein, said member being rotatably supported with one of its ends in each said cup-shaped member, a
torsional spring within said cylindrical member away from said recess, and adapted to rotate said cylindrical member in one direction, a handle formed integral with one end of said spring, and projecting through and exterior to. said cylindrical member for rotating said cylindrical member against the tension of said spring, a hook formed at the other end of said spring, and projecting through and engaging one said cup member, and a stop on said cylindrical member to limit the extent of the influence of said spring, said cylindrical member serving to deliver predetermined quantities of material from said container, and to retain said container continuously closed as here in specified and for the purpose set forth.
Signed at New York city, in the county and State of New York, this 15th day of Dec. 1915, in the presence of two witnesses.
