Ta alZ wwm it may camem:
Be it known that I EMIIE SOYEZ, a citizen et the French public, residin et Paris, 6 Passage des Petites Ecuries, aris, France, have invented Certain new and useful Improvcments in Powder Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention appertains to that class of toilet articles which are more conventionaily known as vanity cases or compacts designed -to hold a toilet preparation and to be carried about the person for use at will.
These compacts are usually of two types: one in Which the preparation iscontained in loose powdered form and from which it is remcved by a small pad or pufi' by a process of tapping the latter upon the powder to cause it to adhere to the surface of the pufl", and the other in which the powder in cake or tabloid form is disposed which neccssitates a rubbimg action over the surface to obtain a supply on the puif for application to the flesh.
In the use of the first form of these articles thereis a considerable amount of waste due to'the finely comminuted chameter of the p0Wder, in addition to which the use is attended With a distasteful scattering of the powder upon the garments of the user. This form of the powder gives the most satisfactory results and is therefore the preferable type, but owin to the above mentioned objections and otliers resort to the cake form has been had. However, to obtain the cake type of powder the manufacturer is required to introduce a foreign substance to obtain adhercnce of owder particles. This glue or glue-like su stance has a detrimental action upon the flesh and imparts a gritty feeling to the. preparation.
The problem which this invention has been designed to meet resides in the provision of a toilet article which will handle a finely divided owder in such manner that the quantity dmpensed is easily controlled by the user in respect to the desired amount without any waste either incident to the dis- A pensing operation or to the carrying of the compact about the person Broadly speaking, my 1mprovcmcnts re- .side in the provision of a container having panymg drawings in which Figure 1 is a vertical section of a powder box constructed 111 accordance .W1th thlS invention, Figure 2 1s a horizontal sectmnal view on a plane just below the lid, while Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through a modification.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, 1 is the side of the box, 2 its lid capable of rotation thereon 'but not of removal thererom; this latter being eifected, for example, by shaping the edges of the lid and the sides. Lid 2 1s providgd With perforations whose edges act to remove the powder projected inwardly thereof. Perforations 4 need not be regularly spaced. 5 is a central rod or tube fixed to cover 2 and projecting through the bottom 7 of the box; rod 5 is screW threaded for at least a portion of its length. 6 is an upstanding bar or slide carried by sides 1 and engaging in a recess out in bottom 7 which is provided With a nut 8 engaging rod 5 an outer bottom closure 9 is employed to fit over the container 1.
When sides 1 or lid 2 are rotated relatively to each other, then as slide 6 prevents any rotation of bottom 7 relatively to sides 1 bottom 7 Will move inwards.
The powder in the box will approach lid 2 and the edges of the perforations 4 Will scrape over the surface of the powder and the powdcr cannot clog; the loose powder Which are given similar figures of refercnce, 9 is the bottom of the box having adjustable or threaded connection therewith, 10 a spring carried thereby, while 11 is a cup or plate on which rests the compressed powder 12. The walls of the perforations 4 act in the same manner as in Figures 1 and 2 but in this case the compacted powder mass 12 is automatically brought into contact with lid 2 by the spring 10 in place of by a screw 5.
The whole of the powder in the box is utilized without any waste, and it will be apparent that this type of compact enables a user to use it in any preferred malte of owder or a powder of the desired odor.
nder present conditions it is usually necessary to take the preparation which is supplied with the article by the manufacturer whereas in this invention, referring to the structure shown in Figure 3, it is only nec essary to remove the bottom 9 and fill into the container 1 the powder desired, replacing the bottom With its attached pressure plate .11.
The pressure exerted by the plate 11 compresses the fine powder 1nt0 a firm, compact mass the particles forming Which have a tendency to adhere to each other while under the pressure. Those portions of the powder exposed at the small openings in the cover have no tendency to move therethrough until relative movement of the lid is effected whereupon a small amount comes to the surface of.the lid from which it is removed by a powder puff or the like.
It will be obvious that the amount brought to the surface of the lid is proportional to the extent of the relative movement imparted and a nicety of dispensing operation is thus secured.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
1. A toilet article of the class described comprising a powder compartment or container, a perforate closure member therefor movable relative to said container, and means for compressing the powder in said container and holding it constantly against the perforate closure, whereby to normally prevent escape of the powder through the closure by the compacting action until 'relative movement between the closure and container is effected.
2. A portable toilet case for holding loose powder comprising a body section, a perforate cover section interlockingly connected thereto and freely movable relative to the body section, means within the body section to compress the 100se powder into a firm mass and hold it against the cover section to thereby prevent escape of the powder through the perforate cover section in the normal handling of the case, said cover section being movable over the surface of the compacted powder to displace a restricted amount therefrom through the cover openings substantially coextensive with the top surface -of the cover section incident to the compressing action f the compressing means.
3. A powder compact of the class described for dispensing toilet owder, comprising a receptacle for holding the loose powder, a perforate cover member rotat- 'ably mounted thereon, a powder support within the receptacle, and means acting on said support to compress the loose powder into a firmly compacted mess against the cover member and maintaining it thusthroughout the dispensing operation, where by the powder is prevented from escape through the perforations except when the cover member is turned on the container.
4. A powder compact of the class described for dispensing toilet powder comrising a receptacle for holding loosepowet, a perforate cover member on said receptacle, a spring actuated powder support within the receptacle for maintaining compression upon a powder mass and holding the same in compacted condition against the cover member, and a removable bottom for said receptacle adapted to be displaced for refilling purposes.
