POWDER-PURE.

- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 12, 1921.

Application filed November 4, i920. Serial No. 421,765.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WrLLiAM Gr. KEN- DALL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improvecl-Powcler-Puff, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. j

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved powder puff2 which is simple and durable in construction and cheap to manufacture.

Another object is to permit of quickly and accurately assembling the parts without resorting` to sewing or requiring highly skilled labor.

Another object is to firmly fasten the body parts of powder puff material in stretched position without danger of the body partsbecoming detached or loosened.

With these and other objects in view, theVV invention consists of certain novelkk features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming apart of this specification, in' which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts'in all the views.'

Figure 1 is a perspective view of proved' powder puff Fig. 2 is a plan view of one of the body parts with the padding and carrier ring superimposed thereon and the handle fastened in position; j

Fig. 3 is a cross section of the same on the line 3 3 of Fig.2;

Fig. 4 is a plan vview of the lother body part with its padding and carrier ring superimposed thereon;

Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross section of the powder puff with the several members in partly assembled position; and

Fig. 6 is a similar view of the finished powder puff.

rlhe powder puff in its general construction comprises two interlocked rings 10 and 11, preferably of sheet metal, and over which are stretched the body parts 12 and 13, preferably both of powder puff material such as pile fabrics, flannel, felt and the like. A handle 14 i n the formy of a ribbon or a band extends across the outer face of the body part 12 and its ends are attached to pins or points 15 struck up on the inner the ima portion of other.

edge of the ring 10 and located diametrically opposite each other. Paddings or fillings 16 and 17 of cotton batting or other soft material are preferably interposed between the rings 10`and 11 and their body parts 12 ,y

and 13 so as to give the desired cushioning .effect yto the said body parts at the time the peripheral edge of the ring 10 and clamped n in place onthe inner face of the ring by the rim 21, as will be readily understood by reference tovFig. 6. In' practice, the parts 22 and 23 are preferably scalloped to avoid undue bulkiness. It is understood that by this arrangement adjacent scallops are prevented from overlapping.

By reference to' Fig. 2 it will be noticed that the points 15 are located betweeny adjacent arms 20, and the scallops on the flange 22 correspond in number to the arms 20, but in assembling the parts the ring 10 is superimposed on the Abody part 12 and `so positioned that the points 15 are in alinement with two oppositely disposed scallops, and these two scallops are turned in and engage with the points 15, after which the ends of the handle 14 are turnedinward and likewise engaged with the points 15. The r maining scallops are folded inward and pass Y between the corresponding adjacent pairs of arms 2O withoutoverlapping one the It will be noticed that by the arrangement described the ring 10 can be readily positioned relative to the body part 12 and the ribbon 14 when assembling the parts. It is understood that the ring 10, the handle 14 and the padding 16 are positioned one relative to the other, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and the body Vpart 13 and the padding 17 are positioned one relative to the other, as shown in Fig. 4. When this has been done, the two structures or sections l are superimposed with the rings opposite each other (see Fig. 5) andV placed in a press to interlock the arms 2O with the rim 21 to have their upper ends in close proximity to the under side cf the inner edge of the ring 11 with the flange 23 of the body part 12 interposed between the ring 11 and the said armsv 20. On pressing the rings toward each other in the press the arms 2O are bent outward between the ring 11 and its rim 21, and the latter moves into engagement with the flange 22 of the body member 12 extending kover the inner face of the ring 10.- LThus the two rings are interlocked and at the same time the flanges 22 and 23 are firmly clamped in position between the two rings.

The spacing and clamping rim 21 of the ring 11 is approximately S-shaped in cross section and it serves to hold the rings 10 and 11 and the body parts 12 and 13 spaced apart to give the -desired fullness to the powder puff, thereby avoiding a fiat appearance. It will also be noticed that the locking arms 2O of the ring 10 pass into the rim 21 to unite the rings and to clamp the Piange 28 of the body part 13 in place on the ring 11. Furthermore, the free edge of the rim 21 engages the flange 22 of the body part 12 and clamps the same against its ring 10 thus securely fastening this body part to its ring 10.

The powder puff shown and described comprises but few parts which can be readily assembled and quickly fastened together without requiring highly skilled labor. It will further be noticed that the powder pullI is very simple and durable in construction and its parts are not liable to become detached or loose.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. As an article ofmanufacture, a powder puff comprising two superposed rings provided with interlocking members, one of the said rings having points located diametrin cally opposite each other, two textile body parts stretched over the outer faces of the said rings and having their peripheral portions extending over and between the rings,

the said interlocking members clamping the said peripheral portions in place between the rings, and a handle formed of a piece of ribbon attached at its ends to the said ring points and extending acrossthe outer surface of the body part stretched over the ring.

2. As an article of manufacture, a powder puff comprising two superposed rings, one of said rings having an inturned spacing and clamping rim and the other having struckup locking arms vinterlocked with the said rim and two body parts of-powder pufl' material having their peripheral portions inturned and clamped between the said rings.

3. As an article of manufacture, a powder puff comprising two superposed rings, one of said rings having an inturned spacing and clamping rim and the other having struck-up locking arms interlocked with the said rim, two body parts of powder puff material having their peripheral portions inturned and clamped between said rings an-d a padding interposed between each of the said rings and its body part.

4. As an article of'manufacture, a powder puff comprising two superposed rings, one of said rings having an inturned spacing and clamping rim and the other having 4struck-up' arms for interlocking engagement with the said rim, one of sai-d rings having struck-up points located approximately diametrically opposite each other, two body parts of powder puff material having their peripheral portions inturned and clamped between said rings, a handle formed of a piece of ribbon attached at its ends to the said points and extending across the outer face of one of the body parts, and a padding interposed between the said rings and the correponding body parts.

5. s an article of manufacture, a powder puff comprising two superposed rings, one of the rings having an integral spacing and clamping rim approximately S-shaped in cross section, the other ring having locking arms bent into engagement with the said rim, and two body parts of powder puff material having their-.peripheral portions inturned extending between the ringsy and clamped in place thereby.
