Application filed February 4, 1927. Serial No. 165,769.
My present invention is primarily con cerned with pocket containers for stimulants, medicines perfume or other liquids of which small quantities are to be carried on the person for convenient use.
It is an object of the invention to provide a container of the above type in which the wall containing the liquid shall be of glass or equivalent material that will not be corroded by the contained liquid or impart a taste thereto and which though of brittle material will be efiectively protected from injury due to impact in ordinary use, without unduly in creasing the overall bulk.
Another object is to provide a container of the above type, having an attractive ap pearance and which can yet be made at min imum cost in quantity production, without the. need for elaborate or expensive operations and dispensing even with the need for threading orv other special machining operations.
Another object is to provide a container of the above type which shall have the external proportionsand appearance of a fountain pen and which may be carried or worn in the same manner as a fountain pen.
In the accompanying drawings in which are shown one or more. of variouspossible embodiments of the several features of the invention.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the manner in which the container can be carried, all on a small scale.
Fig. 2 is a view in longitudinal cross sec tion with parts shown in fragmentary View of one form of the invention, and
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, showing another form of the invention.
Referring now to the drawings and more particularly to Fig. 2 thereof, I have shown a cylindrical container which may be of vulcanite, bakelite, or similar material com" monly used for the barrels of fountain pens, and of the dimensions of a large or oversized fountain pen. The casing is formed of a unitary piece enlarged in diameter at its upper end at 11, so as to simulate the characters istic appearance of the ordinary removable fountain pen cap closed upon the pen barrel.
Within the barrel 10 I provide preferably a glass container 13 which may be a small test tube of substantially conventional construction. The container 13 preferably fits with but small clearance within the casing 10 at its lower end, and, being cylindrical, presents greater clearance asat l l at the enlarged bore of the upper part 11 of the casing or barrel which simulates the fountain pen cap. The test tube is preferably formed with the usual bead 15 at its rim, for which room is af forded in the enlarged. bore of the cap simulating part. T he test tube is closedv by an ordinary removable cork or stopper 126. At the outer open end of the casing 10 is inserted a removable stopper of vulcanite or bakelite, preferably of the same material,- asthe barrel. The stopper has a cylindrical plug portion 17 extending with, a friction fit into the open end of the barrel and has anouter or handgrip part 18, fiush with the wall of the cap simulating partll ofthe casing. Preferably the rim 18 of the casing plug is of color contrasting with that of the main barrel as is common practice in fountain pens. A conventional fountain pen clip 19 is provided near the open end of the barrel and permanently fastened thereto by rivets 2001 equivalent connectors.
The test tube is to be filled with the liquid and closed by stopper 16 and inserted in the casing 10 which is then closed by stopper YT-18. The device is carried in the pocket "of a vest orcoat 22 and secured by clip 19 in the manner of a fountain pen as appears from Fig. 1. p
In use, it will be seen that the flash or test tube 13 is adequatelyprotccted within. the rigid container and. the stopper 17 maintains the glass tube therein against any longitudinal rattle and moreover keeps the stopper 16 from coming loose or leaking. The clearance of the test tube within the casing is such as to prevent lateral. rattle especially when held in position by the outer stopper, and yet affords ample room for relative expansion of the glass and the outer casing 10 withchange of temperature.
With ordinary fountain pens where the clip is formed on the removable cap it he quently happens that the barrel comes loose from the cap and the pen is either lost or dropped into the pocket, becomes injured and stains the clothing of the wearer. If such construction were applied to the present use the exposure of the brittle flask would be positively dangerous.
In the present construction there is no de-- pendence either on a mere friction hold between the barrel and the cap or a possibly insecure or negligently closed threaded connection. The closure cap 18 its sut'ticiently tight so as not to become lost, but GVGHII'E t should be lost the flask is protected within the greater length of the unitary casing lO1 l.
In Fig. 3 I have shown an alternative form of the invention in which the separate flash or test tube is omitted and me casing" 10 of vulcanite or equivalent material itsel. serves as the liquid container. For this purpose it is preferred to provide an enamel coating or lining in the interior so as to avoid imparti g a taste to the contained liquid. In order to avoid possible lean of liquid through the rivet holes for the clip 19, a gasket 4o remented in place within the interior. lhe stopper 1'? is pressed tight at its inner end against the edge of gasket 26 and thereby assists in preventing possible leak from the container.
1 have in this embodiment shown the bore of the barrel of uniform diameter from end to end, the Wall thickness being greater at the cap simulating part than at the barrel simulating part. The embodiment of Fig. 2 could be similarly mace in which case the flask 13 would be made without the lip or bead 15.
It is evident that the casing of either the embodiment of Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 can be used to advantage as a cigar case, a pill or tablet case or for other small solids carried on the person. The hollow plug 17 a'tlords room for-the tip of the cigar when the casing is used as a cigar case.
It will thus be seen that there isherein described a device in which the several features of this invention are embodied, and which device in use attains the various objects of the invention and is Well suited to meet the requirements of practical use.
As many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently Widely diheient embodiments of this invention could be made Without departing from the scope thereol it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
Having thus described. my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A pocket liquid container con'iprising an elongated cyl drical casing shapei'l to simulate a iountain pen, a removable cylindrical flasl snugly titling therein so that it is sustained against lateral play and having a stopper, closure for sfd casing ii'icludii'ig a plug portion fitting within the casing and bearing against the stopper to prevent cndv'ise movement of the flask and a handle portion abutting the end of the casing and lying liush with the exterior wall thereof.
2. A. pocket liquid container comprising a unitary elongated casing having the external configuration and appearance of a fountain pen, said casing of larger diameter at the portion thereof to simulate the cap of a tonntain pen, and having a correspondingly enlarged bore thereat, a test tube removably ins-erted and snugly fitting in said casing'and having a bead snugly fitting in the enlarged part of the bore, a removable stopper in said test tube and an exterior stopper at the open upper end of said casing engl gingthe end of said test tube stopper and having an exposed rim flush With the exterior Wall of the casing, and a spring pocket clip fixed to the upper part of the casing for clamping the same to the pocket.
