TALCUlVI-POWDER BOX.
Application led April 30, 1915.
To all 107mm it may concern:
Be it known that I, FnLix EBERHART, a citizen of the United States, residing in Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Talcum-Powder Boxes, of which the following is a specication.
My invention relates in general to talcum powder boxes or containers and has for its obj ect broadly the provision of an improved form of talcum powder box or container particularly adapted for carrying in the pocket or a hand bag, vanity case or the like, although it will be manifest that certain features of the invention have a muchvwider and more general application. *Y Y A principal object of the invention is the provision of a talcum powder box with a sifter device or opening so constructed and arranged that it will not extend beyond the side of the box.
A further object of the invention isrthe provisionY of such a container wherein the movable part of the sifter device will be inclosed within the immovable or stationary part in order `that it may be protected from distortion and inadvertent movementfrom p closed to open position.
A further object of the invention is the provision of such a construction which will be easily operable, pleasing in appearance and of economie construction.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a container for talcum powder and the like from which the powder may, be forcibly ejected, thereby preventing clogging of the sifter openings and insuring a ready delivery of powder without the necessity yof violently shaking the container to cause its delivery. Y
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparentas it is better u nderstood from the following description .when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing Villustrating a preferred embodiment thereof. Y, f
Referring to the drawing, Y l .Figure 1 is a top plan view of atalcum powdercontainer embodying,v my invention;

Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 18, 1920.
Serial No. 24,861.
- container 5 is shown to be of fiat, rectangular form, and although this is desirable lif the talcum powder box is to be carried in the pocket, hand bag, vanity case or thev like, it is by no means essential to my invention. In one of the ends of the container an aperture 8 is formed and in this aperture is secured the shifting device. This device in the present instance consists of a stationary part 9 crimped at its edges 10 about the edge 11 surrounding the aperture 8 so as to form interior and exterior peripheral shoulders engaging both within and without the edge of said aperture. The stationary member 9 extends inwardly into the box and. is provided at its base with a series of sifter openings 12. The movable part 13 of the sifter device is of shape similar to the part 9 and also has openings or perforations 14 in it which are adapted to register with the openings 12 when it is desired to deliver powder from the container. Like the member 9the member 13 also extends inwardly of the container, the two forming a chamber in which a thumb-piece 15 secured to the movable sifter member and adaptedl to turn it isl located. The stationary member 9 forms a chamber in which is seated theL movable member 13 and the member 13 forms a chamber in which is located the thumb-piece 15. The movable member and the thumbiece are preferably held in place `by engagement of the edg 1.6 of the movable membei' behind the crimpededge 17 ofthe stationary member. p
1When the parts are constructed 'and a1'- 'ranged as just described, it will be manipiece being located inwardly of the side 18 is substantially protected from inadvertent movement from closed to open position.
In order that the powder may be forcibly ejected and in order also to eliminate the necessity of violently shaking the container to cause it to deliver powder; 1 provice in one of the broad faces 19 of the container a movable sheet 2O mounted in a recess 21 in this face. The edges 22 of this sheet are Yrigidly secured to the material of the wall I wardly in the position shown in Fig. 2. 1f
the sheet Q0 however is pressed with the thumb of the person holding the container after the sifter has been opened, powder will be forced out through the reduction of the Vinterna-l volume of the container.
1t will be understood that the above de-y scribed construction provides a non-refillable box, beca-use the outer flange 10 may be bent outward and against the edge 11 after the box has been filled; or the box may be filled through an open side, the side shown at the bottom of Figs. 2 and 3, and thereafter the side member Vor cover double seamed in place as shown. 1n either way of filling the box it can not be refilled after the contents are exhausted.
The container and its attendant parts are of simple construction and pleasing in appearance, and it is thought that the invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing de scription; and it will berapparent that various changes may be made in the form; construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its material advantages, the form hereinbefore described'being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.
