oon'rnrnnn,
Application filed June 3 useful Improvements in Containers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
My invention relates to containers and refers particularly to containers suitable for employment with face powders.
Face powders are usually applied by means of powder puffs, it therefore being necessary to transfer the powder from its container to the powder puff before use.
Face powders are usually sold in containers having sifting tops composed of a perforated' member carrying means whereby the perforations may be opened or closed.
In order to transfer the powder from" the container to the puff, the holes are opened and the powdertsifted therethrough upon the puff. On account of the fineness and lightness of the powder, a very considerable amount of it falls elsewhere than upon the puff, thus frequently injuring dress fabrics and causing considerable trouble, and, at times, expense in removing it therefrom. This wastage of powder is also the cause of loss of powder with its consequent ex pense.
The present employed containers also possess the objection that frequently the sifting closure is not absolutely tight, or becomes open when not in use, thus causing a loss of powder coupled with the moon venience of the powder injuring other materials'. I
In the accompanying drawings. illustrating one form of the device of my invention,
similar parts are designated by similar nu merals.
Figure 1 is a vertical cross-section form of my device.
Figure-2 is a topplan of Figure 1, partly broken away. I
The particular formof the device of my invention, shown in the accompanying drawings, comprises a container having the side 10, the bottom 11 and the top 12, the container being separated into two chambers, an upper chamber 13 and a lower chamber 1a by the division wall 15. Centrally positioned within the divisionv Wall 15 is a hole 16, covered by the powder sifter of one 1921. Serial no. 474,636.
being closed by the revoluble top 19.
The top 12 of the container has an open- 7 ing 2O, capable of being closed by the lid 21, which is hinged at 22 and has a closure catch 23 to prevent its accidental opening.
The dot and dash lines 21', 23 show the lid 21, 23 in open position.
The bottom 11 has a filling hole 24:, capable of being closed by the closure cap 25.
The operation of the device is as follows I Toilet powder 26 is introduced into the chamber 1 1 through the opening 24, which 1s closed by means of the cap 25. The cover 21 is closed and the holes 18, 18 opened. By reversing the container and shalringslightly, some of the powder 26 will escape through the holes 18, 18 into the chamber 13 and by bringing the container to its normal posi* tion, this powder will settle upon the upper face of the dividing wall 15. The cover '21 is then opened, the holes 18, 18 are closed by means of the revoluble top 19, and the powder puff 27 inserted therethrough into the chamber 13 and thus rests upon the powder carried by the wall 15. The cover 21 may then be closed. I
It is evident that the powder in the chamber 13 will adhere to the powder puff 27 and, when it is desired to use it, it may be removed through the opening 20. Before replacing the powder pufi', the above.de-- scribed operation is repeated to convey some of the powder from the chamber 1 1 into the chamber 13.
It will thus be seen that by means of my device, powder may be applied toapowder puff without any dangerof any of it sifting upon other objects, thus presenting an economic and cleanly means of accomplishing the result.
It is further evident that the annoyance of the sifting of the powder, when the container is not in use, is overcome, because, if any powder should escape through the sifter, it will be retained in the upper chamber 13.
sifting devices other than that shown may be employed, as the one described is indicated simply as an example.
I do. not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number or arrangement of parts,
as shown and described, all of which may be varied without going beyond the scope of my invention as shown, described and Sifter, a cover for the upper chamber hav- 10 claimed.
