J. M. M DONALD CONTAINER Filed April 17, 1926 INVENTOR BY Z ATORNEY '.and Cnstrctedthat the -pufl may be moved a bottom member.

" Patented Feb. 3," 1927;

ing of contact between the two irrespective 7 of the wearing away of the compact.

It will also be noted, that the entire upper face of the compact is wo-rn away uniformly.

A new compact with itsbase can be readily introduced when the old one is worn away. My device, therefore, presents a compact 7 container in which the powder puff may be moved over the surface of a compact to pro-- o ducea uniform wear thereon, the movement being accomplished without the hand of the operator coming into, contact with either the puff or the compact, means also being em.

ploye'd to retain loose powder within the container. v

' I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number or arrangement of parts as shown and described as these are given sim-o ply as a means forclearly describing-my 1nvention. v

What I claimis:

1. In a powder compact container, in combination, a,.bottom member, a non-revoluble compact plunger within the bottom member and spaced from the bottom there0f, means tending to move the plunger upwardly, means for limiting the upward movement of the plunger, and an upper revo1uble member carried by the bottom member and spaced' therefrom forming a powder puff receptacle.

2. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom member, a non-revoluble compact plunger within the bottom member and spaced from the bottom thereof, means tending to move the plunger upwardly,

means for limiting the upward movement of the plunge-r, and an upper revoluble member hingedly attached to the bottom member and spaced therefrom-forming a"powder puff receptacle. 7

Y 3. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom member, an inwardly ex r tended annular flange member carried by the side of the bottom member and spaced from the bottom thereof, a non-revoluble compact plunger larger than the opening of the flange member and positioned betweenthe flange member andthe bottom of the bottom member, resilient means tending to move the plunger upwardly, a top member carried by the bottom member and revoluble thereon, a cover carried by the top member and a pufl carrying compartment between the cover and the plunger.

4. In a powder compact, container, in combination, a bottom member, an inwardly extended annular flange member carried by the side of the bottom member and spaced from the bottom thereof, a non-revoluble compact plunger larger than the opening of the fiange member and positioned between the fia1ige member and the bottom of the -botto'm member, resilient means tending to move the plunger upwardly, a top member carried by the bottom member and revoluble thereon, a cover carried bythe top member, a puff carrying compartment between the cover and the 'plunger and means whereby a puff within the pufi compartment will form a closure between the bottom member and the top member when the lid isclosed.

5. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom member,a'n inwardly extended annular fiange 1nemberxcarried by the side of thebottom member and spaced from the bottom thereof, a non-revoluble compact plungerlarger than the opening of the flangemember and positioned between the fiange member and the bottom of the bottom member, resilient means tending to move the plunger upwardly, a top member carried by the bottom member and revoluble thereon, a cover carried by the top member, a puff carryi ng compartment between flange member and the bottommember, re-' silient means tending to move the plunger upwardly means l1m1t1ng' the upward movement of the plunger, a top member carried by and revoluble upon the combined bot' tom members, a hinged cover carried by the top member forming a powder pufi compartment and y means for maintaining the cover in closed position.

bination, a bottom having an upwardly extended side, an inwardly extended sup- 'porting member fixedly attached to the side member, an inwardly extended ring- 2 shaped flange member fixedly attached to by the supporting member, a vertically movable nonrevoluble compact plungerbetween the fiange member and the bottom member, resilient means tending to m'ove the plunger up.wardly, means limiting the upward movement of the plunger, a top membercarried by and revoluble upon the combined bottom members, a hinged Cover carried by the top member forming apowder puff compartment, 1neans whereby a puff within the compartment will be pressed against a powder compact carried by the .plunger when the cover is closed and means for maintaining the cover in closedposition. r

8. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom having "an upwardly extended side, an inwardly extended supporting member fixedly attached to the side 7. In a powder compact container, in coml li) member, :ar inwrdly extended ring-sh13d :i1ent means tendng to move the plunger upWardly, -means lmting the'upward move -ment of the plunger,' 34 top member -carried partment, means whereby a puff, within the by hand revbluble upo the jcombined bottom members, a hingedieover carried by the top. member formng a.powderpufl' comder compactcarried by the plunge)g,when

the cover is closed, means Whereby -a puff Within" the compartnient ill f0rm a c1osure between the bottom member fand-l the 'topumember When the cover is closed and means f0r' mahtainngthe cover in closed rposton.- x r A Signed at Nevs York city in the county of New York .a'nd State of New York thi s 16th dayof April, 1926. f
