Application filed August 7, 1926. Serial No. 12?,964;
This vention relates to an improved tooth paste container and has for its object the production of a simple and efficient box which is especially designed to hold a tablet or block of tooth paste.
One of the principal. objects of this invention is the production of a simple and eflicient box in which a tablet or other block of paste may be carried of a solid or semi-solid mass for the purpose of permitting the bristles of the tooth brush to be moved backwardly and forwardly across the face of the block for the purpose of picking up particles of the paste.
A further object of this invention is the production of a simple and efficient means for supporting the block of tooth paste and also for covering the top of the box when the paste is not in use.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear throughout the following specification and claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the box,
Figure '2 is a top plan view thereof,
Figure 3 is a section taken on line 33 of Figure 2,
Figure Al is a section taken on line 44; of Figure 3, and
Figure :5 is an end elevation of the under portion of the box within which the block of tooth paste is positioned.
By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that l designates the bottom or base of the box which is preferably formed of a rectangular structure having upwardly extending sides :2, the inner faces of which are extended vertically to constitute a trough-like structure indicated particularly by the numeral 3. The ends of the walls a of the box terminate short of the upper edges of the side walls 2 as clear ly illustrated in Figure 3 and constitute shallow aloutments 5, in which the respective ends of the tooth paste block are adapted to rest, in this way being held against longitudinal movement within the base 1. Through the medium of the shallow or comparatively short end walls 4, it will be seen that a free longitudinal movement of a tooth brush will be permitted upon the tooth paste block which is mounted within the trough 3 and in this way, will permit the block to wear down considerably in order to permit the maximum use of the block before the same is replaced by a new or refilling block. The vertical side walls 2 are adapted to extend throughout the normal height of the block and prevent the block from having lateral displacement upon the base 1. The outer faces of the end walls 4 as well as the outer edges or end edges of the side walls 3 are curved outwardly as indicated at 6 and the outer edges or sides of the side walls 3 are also curved outwardly as indicated at 7, to facilitate the placing and fitting of the outwardly flared ends and sides indicated by the numerals 8 and 9 respectively, of the 00V- er 10 over the basel. The cover 10 is provided with overhanging edges 11 to facilitate the removal of the cover 10 from the base 1 when it is desired.
From the foregoing description and by carefully considering the drawings, it will be seen that a very simple and eflicient boxlike structure has been produced, which is flared at the bottom and tapers toward the top thereof to facilitate the placing of the cover upon the box and also facilitate the holding of the box in proper position while rubbing the tooth brush upon the tooth paste which is placed within the base 1.. It should be understood that in connection with the present invention it is desired to use a solid or semisolid mass of tooth paste formed in a blocklike structure of a rectangular form placed within the base,-which block-like structure may be reduced from time to time as the paste is used up. It is also desired to construct the box of aluminum, glass, earthenware, or china, without departing from the spirit of the invention. t should also be understood that certain detail changes in the mechanical structure may be employed without dep artin g from the spirit of the invention. It is to be further understood that the name of the firm furnishing the box may be em-- bossed or otherwise placed. upon the cover as an advertising medium. The box is especially adapted for the purpose of maintaining the tooth paste in a solid and protected condition during shipment, and may be packed away with other articles without fear of becoming injured or distorted in shipment as is now the case with tubes and boxes within which tooth paste is quite commonly used.
Since the dentifrice in the holder is solid or semisolid, the dentifrice will not be likely to leak or spill out of the container, In this way, the clothes will not be likely to become soiled when packed in a suit case or other container with the tooth paste holder.
5 body having a flat bottom wall, upwardly extending relatively high longitudinal side walls and relatively short end Walls terminating adjacent to the bottom wall constituting abutments, the said short walls permitting a 10 free movement of a brush longitudinally of the tooth cleaning material across the entire face thereof, the side and end walls being tapered toward their upper ends, and a cover having outwardly flared side and end walls for fitting snugly over the side and end walls of the body and constituting a seal therefor, the cover being provided with a laterally extending rim around the upper edge thereof for facilitating the removal of the cover from the body.
I11 testimony whereof I affix my signature.
HENRY W. ANS ELL.
