This inventionrelates to vanityrcases, and particularly to an-im1noved compactiplate holding ring, the object being to provide an improved "construction for holding a born pact andeits supporting plate in a vanity provided preferably with a plurality of a or projection.

-Flglll6 2 is; an Z'enlarged SGCtlOIlEtlWlGW through Figure 1, .approximately on line Figure 3 isa similar-to the section shown: in Figure 2, but showing the compact plate holding nib Figure 4 is a perspective view of the hold ingring disclosed in Figure 2.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates the bottom of a vanity case, and 2 the lid mounted thereon in any suitable manner. The bottom or body 1 is provided with anofl'set portion 3 whereby a shoulder 4 is presented. This shoulder is annular so that ring 5 may be interlocked therewith atany point. The ring 5 is substantially L-shaped incross section, though it could be formed as a channel without departing from the spirit of the invention. The flange 6 rests against the upper part of thebody 1 as shown in Figure 2 where the lower edge of the band 7 rests onthe bottom ofbody 1. The band 7 is pressed out looking or retaimng members 8 and 9. As the metal is comparatively thin and resilient, these locking members will snap beneath the shoulder 4 when the ring is forced into the position shown in Figure 2; This locks the ring in place but the ring may be readily removed by grasping the member 10 and flexing or temporarily deforming the ring 5 slightly so as to disengage the locking member 9, whereupon the ring may be swung out of the body'l.

When the ring is placed in body 1, it is merely placed in position and pressed down, whereupon the members 8 and 9 snap into pact plate for-holding thesame zin the/van fragmentary sectional view the position shown in Figure 2 am" "the 1 ring is locked in 'the body. 'As indicated particularly "in Figures '3 and 4, the ring 5 is formed with a number of n'ibs, pawls or pro ections 11 whichmay be formed in any desiredmannerso as to ip'rovidea*sho'rt prof tuberance preferably formed as: shown Figure :3 by pressing a small portion *ofthe band 7 "inwardly. The band 7 i being of thin metal is naturally more o'r less resilient and, consequently, when the compact plate 1-2is forced intoth'e position shown-in Figures -2'or'r3,'it will snap past the protuber-- the compact plate 12 may be-readily discharged from the body 1 by'inverting the body, :A-fter this has been done, the ring 5 is again placed in the body 1 and pressed down until members 8 and 9 snap. into the position shown 1n'F1gure'2. A new comv pact may then be inserted and pressed down until it assumes the position shown in Figures 2and'3; desired, and by, reason of the structure pre-V sented, it will be seen that the ring 5 acts in a certain sense as an ejector as it loosens the compact plate sothat it will dropout upon inverting the bodyl. What I claim is: I

1. In a vanity case, a holding ring for The ring 5 1 Thismay be done as often as removably holdinga compact plate, said 1 a ring comprising an L-shaped structure adapted to snugly fitintothe-vanity' case, a plurality of resilient fingers extending from said ring for removably locking the ring in the case, and means extending from the ring interlocking with the compact plate for holding the same in posltlon.

2. In a vanlty case, a compact plate holding ring comprising a ring body, resilient locking tongues pressed from the ring body for holding the ring body in place, and probody adapted to overlap part of a compact plate for locking the same in the ring body. 3. A holding ring for compact plates, comprising a ring body formed with a pair of retaining members pressed from the body to present retaining spurs, and a plurality jecting; members extending from the ring of projections extending from said body adapted to overlap part of the compact plate to yieldingly retain the plate in position. A

at. The combination with a vanity case provided with a shoulder, of a compact plate holding ring formed with resilient members adapted to move beneath said shoulders when the ring is in position, and projections extending ,from said ring adaptedto overlap part of a compact plate for holding the plate in position.

-5. Ina compact plate holder, a ring pro vided withqa pressed out resilient tongue fornormally locking the, ring in an operativeposition when the ring is in use, and pressedont projections overlapping partof the compact plate for holding the plate against removal as long at the, ring is in positional I a I 6. The combinationwith a vanitycase pro vided with a shoulder-on the interior part, of a'compact' plate holding ring adapted to be mounted in said vanity case, said ring beingrsubstantially L-shaped in cross section and formed with a plurality ofpr essed out tongues adapted: to snap beneath said Y shoulder whereby the ring is held in posivided 'with a shoulder, of a compact plate ti0n,'and a plurality of pressed out nibs positioned to overlap part of the compact plate arranged in the ring. e 7 The combination with avanity case prosuiiiciently by a pull to disengage said tongue from said shoulder in ordento re move thering and compact plate.
