VANITY BOX..

Application l'filed' Apr-i1- 15`, H325. 'Serial No. 23,1199.

10 it is 'a still fur-ther objlectof the invention to provide a Construction in which the 'lip Apaste i'sfcarried in fa separate container which may be inserted "as a Whole n1-"the box for renewal purposes, and im which fthe lold conl15 taiier att'er the supply of paste'has been eX- l-iaii'sted may -be easily removed and renewed. The box also includes a sanitary /closur'e tor this container While in the box 'which will 'be swung to Iand from the closed position for 20 the container When'the compartment ortlie contaii'ier, is lclosed or Iopened.

lVri'thfth'e foregoing and fotlier objects in vieiv, have devised the construction ilfliustrated in the accompanying drawing forinling a part -ot 'this specification, similar' reference fcharac'ters Ebeing employed throughout Athe various `figures to indicate correspending elements. In this drawing,

Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the @3l 2b'oi'rf'o'n an enlarged scale, the section beingv Fig. Itis-a similar section ot'the upper-part of the box taiken substantially online 4 '4of Fig. l, the rouge `paste container bei-ng shown A4.0 Jin elevation.

tlf-ig. 5 is "a top .plan vieiv of the box in fopen lposition on `an enlarged scale.

Fig 6 is a top plan view olf the *container tor the rouge paste illustrating how it may V4.5 be furnished yon tllie market, and

Fig. 7 is a side 'elevation thereof.

My `improved box includes fhinged cover 'afndbody sections l0 and'll respectively-,the hinged connection between the sections Ebeing shown at `12. These sections lare preferably made of sheet nietal and "their `4top and bottom Walls are 'preferably concavo-convex, as indicated to fgive -a neat 4and attractive apS i pearance to tfheboX andalsotogive-agreater "to tjfboz. "The sheeting edges 'of lvided with an inwardly extending lug 22.

the VAcover Aand body sections are torined teleV scoping to `'give a tighter closure. For this purpose thev upper portion 13 'of the side Wallis of the body 'section is reduced in 'diaI-neter 'to iit Within the open side ott the cover section, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the exposed .portions of the si'de.\valls 'of the cover and 'body sections are 'of substantially the saine diameter to give ra practically fcontinuous surtaceto the box when closed. The sections are llfrel'd in closed position by tafsuitable catch, 'such Aas Ia lip it, q noijectingffroni the body section .'to- 'engage 'a shoulder l5 'formed in ythe 'cover isec'ti-"on by cutting the side Wall thereof and vforcing :a portion fof the wall outwardly.

Mou/irtedifn vone of the sections, preferably the 'lower Ior b'ody 'section il, is a compact `16 foi' fany suitable type of powder :and there' is provided a puff ll?? for 'use in applying Vthe 175 same. v the other section, in 'the present case the cover section l0, is an insert'lS preferably 'in the form of a metal ring having a bead or 'flange 1f9 in its side Wall to frictional'ly :en-'gage `the inner 'surface of the side '80 Walls of "the cov-er section yto retain this insert in the section.

It will. be apparent "that as the 'containeris -insented the'spring 'clip or tong'ue'Ql Wiill yield 4and allo-w i'the lugs'Q and to upassover vthe 'enlarged Iportion of the container and into 100 The Vc'ornp artinent in ywhich the -roulge paste container isjmountedfrs closed niealns'o a holden?? hinged o -ther'rng for lilnsert -f 8 'by ably couiiiriscs a dieet nietal nieniber having; a Hanne on one side [hereof in which a niirror) ii; .mounted by a ringr 30. On its opposite side or back is inounti'al a` closure El l tor the open container 24:. This closure, in order to nialic a` neat and sanitary construction, is preferably a Ilat plate of sonic material which is not corroded or chemically affected by the paste within the container, such as aluminum. lt is preferably secured `to the back of the holder by means 0f ears 53E-lent and bent hackvardly from the back of the holder and passingr through openings in the closure and then folded over ou the surface thereof, :is indicated in Figs. 3 and 5. At the opposite end from the hinge 2S, the holder or flange 537 is provided with a `ring or other suitable inea ns S55-i f or siviiiginn' the holder on its hinge to gir i to the compartment in which the rouge paste contaiiier is mounted. The holder El? tits tight.- ly Within the insert or ring 11,8 to :forni a tight, closure therefor and also to retain. the holder i in the closed position when the box is open.

`compartment also removes the closure Afrom the `ronge paste container, and this paste is, therefore, exposed for use. Also, for the same reasons, when the mirror holder Q7 is forced back to its original position to close the compartment in the cover section, the closure plate 3l is forced tightly against the open side edge ol the container 3ft and tightly seals the same. i

The container 24 is preferably oi aluminum or other suitable material which will not he afteeted by the paste, and will be purchased on the iiiarltet complete. as indicated iii Figs. 6 and 7, lilled with the paste. It is closed by acover 3ft and sealed by ineens of a strip `of paper or other suitable material 35 pasted around the edges, as inidicateth and et' course any uiarkin as grrzjuile marks, traile-inarliel and so Fort'h may be printed. on this paper. When the user wishes to renew the supply of rouge, pasto .in the box all that. is necessary is to break the paper seal, remove the cover lfl and then insert the container holding the paste iii the, vanity box as above described.

lhis construction of box provides an ainple supply otivliitc or flesh colored powder for ordinary use, but there s always pro-` vided also the lip paste in the sealed com partaient where it is easily accessible. This is :i niore convenient and more satisfactory I'oriii ot lip paste than that of the usual lip stick, and usually the paste in thisl torni may be secured in a better quality, and it also is )iorided iu 'ust the rie'ht consisteiic7 `i'or b application. '.lhe closure 3l tightly closes the container While in the case so that it is perfectlysanitary at all times, and as this closure is a plain 'flat disc it is easily cleaned.
