by My invention n lat s to cont in r and ;fers particularly to containers suipable for powders .to be applied by means o powderinfie- 1 One of the esseutial slements of a practical 'l'ace powder container is that of size, for it is rident that a container of ,this character must be as small as is possible consistent with the uses to which itis applied.

Notwithstanding that it is generally admitted that loose faee po wdel is more e cient and Vfili l han po vtlertompaqt ,t e la titer have largely repl aced the former because out the difiicultios and inconveniences in- 1.7 trident to the useof lo se PQW Q as 3 9 pared with compacts.

The chief difliculties presentin themselves imthe production of a loose pow er container flFfltbQSe incident to devising one which will 119 be of minim m fiifl d lnch {will reyan the sifting or spilling ofthe powder cl, ring use, such sifting being hig disa vnntargeous as it is ,liablm rttlii rli lre the gown ,of

the .user.

My in ention overqo ue hes objec o able (features and presents .a loose powder container which is ,smull in sizean which will allow of theme and application of the container powder without danger of itssift- .ingduring Ithe ef. l;,l'iiit g"te .oif the coptainer or of its beingsp'qlled ,during its a phcation.

The above tescrihed and otier, Valuable features of my device will be evidentnpon a uwn i l'ation of this specif cation and it aempa yine win ln the accompanying drawings illustrating one ,form of the device of my invention similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

Iiligure 1 is a top plan View qfone form of 1 the device of my invention.

Figure 2 is an edge View of Figurel.

Figure 3 a plan view of the device of Figure 11. in open position, partly broken away for purposes of explanation.

Figure 4 is an enlarged cross-section through the line 4--4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a top View of one of the upper members of Figure 4.

Figure (3 a top View of the ring-shaped supporting member of Figure 4.

liigure 7 .is a: top View of the bottom member of Figure 4.

The particular form of the device of my invention shown in the accompanying drawings comprises an annular bottom 10 the 11 and then upwardly 12.

Positioned within the bottom member is a ring-shaped supportin member 13',theouter edge of which is turned downwardly 1 1 and then outwardly 15, the ring member being agflixed to the bottom member by' solder, or otherwise. The inner edge of the ring member is turned downwardly and inwardly forming the shoulder 16 and then down wardl 1.

Pos tioned within the ring member is a grid member 18 having a plurality of

open ings

19, 19 therein. The outer edge of the grid member 18 is turned downwardly and inwardly, thus forming an invertedshoulder 20, and then downwardly 21. The members 21 and 17 are aflixed together by solder, or

edge of which is turned inwardly upon itself otherwise.

It will thus be seen that the bottom, the rim supporting member and'the grid are attached to eachother to form a bottom member, or container. Positioned above the con-- tainer, and revoluble thereon is an annular member 22 WhlCll lsturned inwardly 23, then downwardly and then inwardly, forming the shoulder 24, the two shouldersQO and 'lfi'thus act as guides and retalnmg means for the member 22 during its revolution.

A cover, or lid, 25 is hingedly attached to the member 22 at 26. Hingedly attached to the cover 25 at27 is a catch 28, capable of closing attachment with the lip 29 carried by the member 22.

An annular bezel 30 retains'the mirror 31 within the cover 25.

Powder 32 is placed within the bofl'mn receptacle 33 auda powder-pull 234: is placed upon the grid 18. i

The operation; of the device as fol. lows :The device in closed position, as shown in Figure 4, is inverted :in order that the powder 32 may fall against the grid 18 and thus be impinged upon the (putt 34;

31, and as the puli revolves with respect to the grid, only a small portion of the powder will be distributed evenly over the pod sur- :tace. It will be further noted that as the grid is in pressure abutment against the putt, the powder will be forced into the putt sut fleien'tly to prevent it from dropping therefrom when the putt is removed from the device preparatory to application to the face. The device is then reversed to upright position, the catch 28 released and the lid, or cover, 25 opened, thus exposing the pull i'i-l.

It will thus be seen, that my invention comprises a powder container in which the powder may be distributed upon-a powder putt, by the revolution oi the device elements, the putt acting as a preventative for the escape of excess powder therefrom.

I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number or arrangement of parts as shown and described as these are given simply as a means for clearly describing my invention.

What I claim is 1. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powder receptacle, a grid top attached tosaid receptacle, an upper member spaced from the grid and revoluble thereabove and a hinged cover carried by the revoluble member.

2. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powder receptacle, a grid top attached to said receptacle, an upper member spaced from the grid and revoluble thereabove, a hinged cover carried by the revoluble member and means whereby the closing of the cover will cause compressed abutment between the bottom grid and a powder pufl placed thereon.

3. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powder receptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extended flange carried by, and revoluble upon, the bottom member, and a cover for the compartment formed by the flange.

4. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powder receptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extended flange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover for the compartment formed by the flange and downwardly extended means carried by the cover and within the flange when the cover is closed.

5. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powder receptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extended flange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover for the compartment formed by the flange, downwardly extended means carried by the cover and within the flange when the cover is closed and means for locking the cover in closed position without preventing the revolution of the revoluble member and the bottom member.

6. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powder receptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extended flange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover for the compartment formed by the flange forming a pufl' receptacle between the cover and the grid and means carried by the cover and the flange for locking the cover in closed position.

7 In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powder receptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extended flange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover forming in pulf receptacle with the flange and the grid, a downwardly extended peripheral member carried by the cover and within the flange when the cover is closed and means carried by the cover and the flange for locking the cover in closed position.

8. In a loose powder container, in combi nation, a bottom powder receptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extended flange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover forming a puff receptacle with the flange and the grid, a downwardly extended peripheral member carried by the cover and within the tlangr when the cover is closed, means carried by the cover. and the flange for locking the cover in closed position andv a mirror carried upon the inner :face of the cover.
