VANITY CASE.

Application filed March 18, 1924. Serial No. 700,053.

r The present invention relates tonew and useful improvements in toilet appliances and it pertains more particularly to such devices commonly known as vanity cases. i

It is one of the primary objects of the invention to provide a vanity case in which a plurality of cosmetic compacts such, for example, as rouge and face powder, may be had, and, at the same time, provide a vanity 1 case comprising a relatively thin and fiat receptacle.

It is a further object of the invention to construct the vanity case in such a manner that either of the compacts may be'used without exposure to view of the other com-v pact, i. -e., the one not being used.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a plurality ofmirrors so arranged that when the case is opened for use of either of the compacts, one of the mirrors will be exposed for use. v

It is a further object of the invention to construct the vanity case so that the loosened material from either compact is prevented from sifting or coming into contact with the other compact, thus serving to maintain at all times the true color of each compact.

It is a still further .object of the invention to construct a vanity case in such a manner that all of the several parts thereof may be formed by a stamping operation and readily assembled without resorting to the use of soldered joints thus maintaining a low cost of manufacture.

With the above and other objects in view which will evidence themselves as the nature of the invention is better understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a vanity ,case constructed in accordance with the pres ent invention, the case being shown in closed position;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view thereof, the case being shown in open position;

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the closed vanity case;

- Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view showing the manner in which the compacts may be secured in place;

Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of a powder puff used in connection with the vanity case. Referring more particularly to the draw-- ings, the vanity case comprises two members 5 and 6 pivotally secured together by means of a hinge 7. The hinge 7 is formed by means of rolled lugs 8 on each member and through which rolled lugs a pintle pin 9 is passed. The reference numeral 10 designates a partition having rolled lugs 11 adapted to receive the pintle 9 to provide for hingedly mounting said partition 10 betweenthe members' 5 and 6. r

The partition is formed with a plurality of platforms of which there are preferably two, and these platforms are designated by the numerals 12 and 13'. The partition 10is bent, as at 14:, and 15, to throw these two platforms"12 and 13 in different planes. This construction provides an angularly disposed wall 16. By offsetting the two platforms 12 and 13, two compartments are formedwhen the members 5 and 6 aredis posed in closed relation or when they are in open relation with the partition 10 swung to position in eithermember, and the angular wall 16 serves as a partition between these compartments and prevents material in either compartment from sifting into the other compartment.

Carried by the platform 12 there is a cosmetic compact 17, and carried by the platform 13 there is a cosmetic compact 18. These cosmetic compacts are each secured to their respective platforms by projecting lugs or protuberances 19 formed in the platform and similar oppositely disposed lugs or protuberances 20 formed in the wall 16.

Arranged in back-to-back relation with each of the cosmetic compacts, there is a mirror, said mirrors being designated by the reference numerals 20 and 21. By this construction, it is apparent that as either of the cosmetic compacts is exposed for use,

a there will, at the same time, be a mirror likewise exposed for use.

With the several parts in'the position in which they are shown in Fig. 2, if the platform 10 is swung into position within the member 6, the compact 18 and the mirror 21 are exposed for use. If, however, the partition 10 be swung to position within the member 5, the compact 17, and the mirror 20 will be exposed for use.

By reference to Fig. 3 it will be noted that there is a powder puff associated with each of the compacts as designated by the reference numeral 25, and that each powder puff is retained in position between its respective cosmetic compact and the member of the Vanity case opposite thereto.

From the foregoing it is apparent that the construction employed provides a vanity case in which the offset partition member 10 forms two compartments when the case is closed, and, further, that the wall 16 forming the offsets of the partition prevents sitting of material from one compartment to the other.

If desired, the platforms 12 and 13 of the partition 10 may be provided on their side edges with flanges which when bent upwardly will coact with the angularly disposed wall l6 to provide two trays or re ceptacles associated with the partition 10.

That is claimed is: l

1. In a vanity case, a pair of shell sections adapted when closed to form a receptacle, a hinge for securing said shell sections together, a partition pivotally connected to said hinge, a cosmetic compact carried by each side of said partition in offset relation,

and a mirror mounted on each side of said partition and in back-to-back relation with each of said cosmetic compacts.

2. In a vanity case, two shell members hingedly secured together, a partition hingedly mounted between sa d members and adapted to swing to position in either of said members when they are in their open position, and a compact and a mirror carried by; each sideof; said partitiomwhereby when said partition is moved to position in either ofsaid shell members a cosmetic and a mirror will be exposed for use.

3. A vanity case comprising two shelllike members hingedly connected together and a partition having an offset portion and hingedly connected to the shell-like mem bers, said partition carrying a cosmetic and a mirror on each side thereof and being swingable into either of the shell-like members tosimultaneously expose a single mirror and a cosmetic.

4. In a vanity box, a pair of hinged shelllilre members forming a container, an offset partition presenting oppositely disposed cosmetic platforms in two planes whereby'the cosmetics supported by the platforms will occupy positions in'thesame plane, said partition forming with one of the shell-like members a compartment for one of the cosmetics carried thereby, and with the-other shell-like member, a compartment for the other cosmetic carried thereby, means for hingedly mountingsaid partition between the shell-like members to permit of its swinging to position in either when in their open position, and a plurality of mirrors so arranged as to be singly exposed when the partition is moved to position in either of the she1l-1ike members. v
