The opposite end ofthel cover is provided 0 I with a suitable cateh'inember of any simple form and for conveniencein illustration,

withl a depressed portion l1 on the end 2 of the. case. To enab'e the catch to be disengaged, I have sh wn' the coverprovided with a projecting flange 1-5 under which the C facing outwardly` so vthat if desired, the userv can look into the mirror without' liftin the cover; A pair'of springs lsurroun engaged,.the spring will raise the-cover to an upright or substantially verticalpo'siton as indicatedin dotted linesin Figure2 and. will hold the same in such position so that the user vcan 4look into lthel mirror conveniently' without removing Ithe device from Athe ,v It will bel seen from the A foregoing that the 'pivot pin 9 and these springs 131have'their endsl: extendin below the cover 8 so that when the catch members 10 ancl'll are diswill automatically raise thejc'over and vhold i into the mirror while vmaking `use .of the contents of thefreceptacle.

have provided the covervholdin'ga mirror 4ico and so arrangedthat the mirror` is automati' cally -held' in Za very convenient position while the case is open to permit removal ofthe contents. n l
