JOHN W. HASBURG, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
FOLLOWER FOB PAINT PACKAGES.
Application filed February Paints, whose intrinsic value is great as, for example, gold paints used on the decoration of ceramic ware and which are sold on glass palettes, must be carefully packed so as to exclude dust and other foreign matter, not only during shipment or storage but also after the packages are opened to disclose their contents. It is customary to place over each thin disc or wafer of paint a transparent dome-shaped cover that rests on the palette beyond the edges of the paint, and to hold this cover against the palette by a follower that fits into the box in which the palette is housed.
The object of the present invention is to simplify and cheapen the cost of manufacture of the follower.
The boxes are usually made square, and the followers have heretofore been made of the same shape. However, it is simpler to make a round or annular follower than a square one and, since the round follower may be caused to have sufficient contact with the walls of the box to hold the cover tightly against the palette, I propose to make the followers in the form of circular rings. The boxes in which the paints are packaged may be made round, as Well as square, and therefore the same follower may be used in either form of box.
The various features of novelty whereby my invention is characterized will hereinafter be pointed out with particularity in the claim; but, for a full understanding of my invention and of its objects and advantages, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein;
Figure 1 is a plan view of a paint package having a follower made in accordance with my invention, the lid of the box being omitted; Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the box shown in Fig. 1, the lid being shown in place; and Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing the use of the follower in a round box Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the draw ing, 1 represents a rectangular box having a removable lid or cover 2. Resting loosely on the bottom of the box is a palette 3, usually of glass. Wafer 4 of paint. The paint is protected 19, 1925. Serial No. 10,179.
by a transparent cover 5, usually made of celluloid, the cover being dome-shaped and having flat marginal portions that rest on the palette beyond the periphery of the paint wafer or disc. After the palette and the cover have been placed in the box, I insert a round ring or annulus 6,01 thin sheet metal or other suitable material; the annulus or ring being L-shaped in cross section so as to provide one flange that will rest flat on the fiat portions of the cover 5, and another flange that will engage with the four side walls of the box and'be frictionally held thereby. I
The same quantity of paint can be housed in a box circular in shape and just large enough to receive the follower, since all there is necessary to do is to make the palette and the cover round instead of square. 1
A round packageof this kind is shown-in Fig. 3, wherein Y mdlcates the box. In this arrangement the follower will engage with the sides of the box throughout its circum ference and it will be frictionally held in a position to lock the cover against the palette.
It will thus be seen that my improved follower may be used with-either a square box or a round box, so that only one kind of follower is required even though the two different types of box are used.
While I have illustrated and described with particularity only a single preferred form of my invention, I do not desire to be limited to the exact structural details thus illustrated and described; but intend to cover all forms and arrangements which come within the definitions of my invention constituting the appended claim.
I claim:
In a package of the character described, a square box, a palette resting loosely in the box, a cover for the palette comprising a domeshaped central portion and flat marginal portions resting on said palette, and a follower in the form of a ring or annulus resting on the marginal portions of said cover and engaged with the side walls of the box.
In testimony whereof, I sign this specification.
On this palette is a thin disc or 1 JOHN w. HASBURG.
