POWDER BOX.
Application filed January 14, 1925. Serial No. 2,245.
the holes. 17 when the disk 11 is turned This invention relates to powder boxes used for the purpose of holding and delivering powder for cosmetic purposes. It has for one of its objects an improvement in the tyg ie of powder box which is disclosed by my patent application, Serial No. 757,992, filed Dec. 26, 1924, and the improvements relate to the means by which the powder is delivered for use by the box.
Of the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is aplan View of the box with the cover raised; Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the box with the cover closed; Fig. 3 is a corresponding partial section at 90 from the section of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a bottom view of one ofthe powder delivering elements; and Fig. 5 is a plan view of a resilient member used in the box.
The powder box to which my improvement relates comprises a bottom compartment 6. This compartment is preferably cylindrical and comprises a bottom 7 and annular sides 8. Mounted in this bottom compartment is a central compartment having annular sides 9, a perforated fixed top 10, a. perforated rotatable disk top 11, and a false or slidable bottom 12. Pivoted to the central cO-mpart ment, by means'of a hinge 13, is a top compartment comprising the cover 14 and a mirror 15 mounted therein. The false bottom 12 is adapted to support the powder 16 which is inserted in the central compartment between the false bottom, and the disk 11. Beneath the false bottom the resilient means Fig. 5 are provided for pressing the powder which rests on the false bottom against the disk 11.
The disk 11 is provided with a series of holes 17. This disk is preferably pivoted to the top 10 in any suitable manner, such as by means of a pivot 18, and the disk has flanges 19 projecting upwardly through slots 20 in the top of the central compartment. Hence, when the cover 14 is raised, the disk can be rotated by means of these flanges 19; and when so rotated the powder will work upwardly into the openings 17 because of the pressure on the false bottom of the resilient member 21.
This cover 10 has a series of holes 22 which are so arranged as to register with to certain positions.
openings 17' Wlll register with certain open- For instance certain ings 22 when the disk is turned slightly clockwise, and-other openings will register as the disk is turned further, and when. turned clockwise as far as possible each of the openings 17 will register with an opening 22. When any two of the openings register the powder will pass out of the upper opening on to the upper surface of the top 10, and may be then applied to the powder puff in the usual manner. So that by rotating'the disk first injone direction and then inthe other as much powder may be delivered onto the top of thecentral compartment as is desired. But when the disk is rotated so that the flanges 19 are in the central portion of the slots 20, none of the holes will register, and the powder cannot pass out from the central compartment. In
order to prevent a tendency of the powder to pack between the peripheral portions of the false bottom and the disk 11 the under surface of the disk may be roughened in some manner, such as by means of ribs 24 pressed thereon. 9
Any suitable resilient means may be used for pressing the false bottom towards the disk. I prefer for thep'urpose the means illustrated in Fig. 5 which comprises a strap 25 which is normally slightly longer than the inner diameter of the bottom part of the bottom" compartment 6 sov that when the strap is placed in the bottom of this compartment the ends 26 will press against the inner wall of the annular groove 27 and the strap will be held from rotation. Fixed to this strap in any suitable manner is a resilient member 28, having a central bar 29 which is bowed upwardly and fixed in any suitable manner to the false bottom. This,
member 28 also has side bars 30 which are bowed downwardly and which are fixed to the strap 25, preferably by means of flanges 31 passing up from the bar 25 into notches 32 in the bars 30. In this manner the false bottom'is held from rotation and this bottom together with the resilient member may be at any time very conveniently removed from the box.
I claim as my invention: mounted on said bottom, and resilient means A powder box comprisinga top having fixed to said strap; said resilient means comperforations therethrough, a false bottom prising a strip fixed to said bottom and a 10 movably mounted in said box beneath said second strip fixed to said strap. 5 top, a fixed bottom in said box, and resilient In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my means mounted between said bottoms, said hand. a a I means comprising a strap non-rotatably FRANZ K.
