ADNA A. VADSWORTH, JR., OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-FOURTH TO GEORGE E. MERRIFIELD AND ONE-FOURTH T0 CHARLES T. STUART, BOTH 0F NEW YORK, 1v. Y.
TOILET-CASE.
Application filed November 3, 1917.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ADNA A. WADsWoRTH,
vJ r., a citizen of theUnited States of America, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Cases, of which the following is a specification.
Travelers in hurriedly packing up to leave for a certain destination often-times forget oneor more of their toilet articles.
It is the primary object of this invention to provide a case for these articles, constructed to render it exceedingly awkward to close the case until every article isin its respective place therein, thus making it less possible for the person to forget any of such articles,
To this end the invention consists of a device of this character wherein each of the holders in the case for the various articles has associated therewith a means adapted to be automatically released upon removal of an article from the case to retain the cover of the case open until the article is replaced in its proper position in the case.
Another important object flowing from the invention resides in the provision of a means for this purpose adapted to engage the articles to hold the same under tension within their' respective holders, with a View of preventing casual displacement or separation of the same therefrom under any circumstances.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a means which will be adjustable to readily accommodate itself to articles of diiferent sizes.
Other objects will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described.
In the drawings, forming a part of the application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and in which:
Figure 1, is a perspective view of the ease folded.
Fig. 2, is a view of the same unfolded.
Fig. 3, is a section on the line 3-3, of Fig. 2.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the case essentially consists of a. back 5,

end flaps 6, side flaps 7, and a retaining flap 8, all of which being adapted to be folded upon one another to provide a substantially rectangular casing as shown in Fig. 1. The several flaps described are provided with suitable fastenings 9, whereby they may be connected together and the case held in a closed position as shown in the mentioned Fig. 1. I aimprincipally to provide a structure in which the several flaps can be readily folded together in package or case form and will be arranged substantially in the same general horizontal line when unfolded shown in Fig. 2. Any suitable well-known structural formation can be resorted to provided the function described above can be accomplished. However, it `,is desired that the case as a whole be constructed of an intermediate stiffening material 10, an inner lining 11, and an outer covering material 12. l
This arrangement oives good results in that the package is rendered strong and durable, it is cheap in cost and yet can be conveniently carried on the person.
Extending along the longitudinal center of the wall 12 is a narrow strap 13, the end 14, of which being suitably secured in any well-known manner to said wall 12', and then passed through loops 15, which are secured to said wall 12', the free end 16, of the strap being extended against the inside of the next adjacent flap 6, whereby it may be manipulated and the strap tensioned or adjusted as the occasion necessitates. In this manner loop shaped holders are formed for the reception of the articles to be accommodated in the ease. The arrangement also provides means whereby articles of dilferent sizes can be uniformly accommodated. The strap 13, is held in an adjusted position through frictional contact thereof with the loops 15. Secured to the wall 12', adjacent the loop-like holders for the toilet articles are inner sections 17, of lingers 18. Each of said fingers is hingedly connected at 19 with its sections 17, and as illustrated a spring 20, is employed for normally exerting pressure against the finger. The linger 18. is adapted to overlie the mentioned section 17 under normal conditions. In this manner it is evident that the loop holders formed by the strap 13, are held under some tension,. the articles contained in said holders ling to leave for a certain destination.
Villustrated herein.
being pressed against the Walls ofthe latter underV the action 'of the springs 2Q,vvvhich operate to force the fingers 18, yieldingly against the articles. lt is always preferred that at least oneiinger be provided for eachV article holder or loop, so that no matter What article is removed from the case, one of said fingers Will automatically fly back uponreleasing of saine, opening the iiext adjacent sidefiap 7, thus making it-L very awkward to close the case until every article is in its respective holder. The atten- Vtion of those using the ease by reason of this eonstructionwill thereby be directed to the absence/of any article in hurriedly pack- The fingers rareso arranged that they completely come over the joint between the Wall 12 and said next adjacent flap 7 and the latter is held in the same general horizontal line with said Wall 12, when an article is removed from its holder.
AnyV suitable arrangement of holders can be resorted to as forY instance, straps 2l are very conveniently' arranged upon one of the flaps 7, and associated with a resilient finger V22, whereby to receive the toilet article as Again, straps such as v those shown at '23, are very nicely accommodated on the back 5, and-'are adaptedrespectively to. receive difterentarticles such as a razor and comb.l These last stra-ps are also combined with resilient fingers 24C,
wvhieh, operate under normal conditions to hold the articles in their respeetiveholders.
It is believed that. from the foregoing descriptionthe nature and advantages of the invention will be thoroughly understood Without requiring a more extended explana-.
tion, and therefore the same has been omitted.vv
However, l desire to. have it understood] that l do not limit myselfto the precise con.-
struction andA arrangement illustrated and described and that various changesy in thisV respect may be resorted to when desiredas fall Within the scope of the appended claims.
ki/Vhat` l' claim is:
l. A toilet case having foldable iaps, and means arranged interior-ly of the ease and automatically released upon removal of an article therefrom to retain oneof said flaps and extendedto be engaged'by the articles Y whereby the latter are held undertensionin their respective holders,V and said lingers beingadapted to beautomatically released" upon removal V.oisaid articles to retainone of said flaps in extended" position.y .l
