NOVELTY CASE.
Application filed December 4, 1928. Serial No. 323,603.
My invention relates to containers and, especially, to novelty containers such as vanity cases and the like.
The object of the invention is to produce a simple but rugged container, at the same time preserving a neat and artistic appearance. The construction is designed to eliminate many of the parts now used in making such articles, so that the number of tools and dies in their manufacture is greatly reduced.
It is one of the characteristic features of my invention that the lid or top of the container comprises a cover plato and a framework speciiically intended for some delinite purpose joined to said cover plate. In my U. S. Patent No. 1,694,702, l have shown such a construction wherein the aforesaid framework, intended in that case for a mirror, is hinged to the Walls of the container', and the cover plate is attached to this framework. l find, however, that in some cases, for instance, where the containers use requires a comparatively heavy cover plate, as in the case of a pocket savings bank for which my construction is adapted as well as for many other forms of novelty containers, it is preferable to hinge the cover plate, and not the framework, to the i Talls of the container. rthe present invention is concerned with this modification of my device. Of course, the construction is equally applicable to the case where the lid or top of the container consists of a cover without any additional frame-work.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective View of the preferred embodiment of my invention of a vanity case simulating a book, shown as closed. Figure 2 is a plan view of the same container when open. Figure 3 is a cross section taken along the line 3--3 of Figure 1. Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the same container, open. Figure 5 is a plan view of a modification of my device, differing from the preferred form in that the above mentioned frame-work is omitted. Figure 6 is a cross section along the line corresponding to the line 3-3 of Figure 1 of the modified form of my invention illustrated in Figure 5.
Referring to the figures in detail, 1 is an open frame made of sheet metal and constituting the four walls of a container designed to simulate a book, the front and the two end walls representing the front and the end leaf edges of the book. At its nether periphery, the frame 1 is bent to provide outwardly proj ecting flanges 2 on three sides, namely, at the frontand at the two ends of the book. To the frame 1 is attached, in the manner described further below, a cover plate 3 constituting the bottom of the container. The top cover plate 3 is hinged to the back wall of the frame 1 in any suitable manner, as by means of the hinge 6. To the top cover plate 3 is attached, in a manner to bey specilied later, the frame-work 2 which, in this particular embodiment of my invention, is a iiat open frame formed of a rectangular piece of sheet metal of the same size and shape as the cover plate 3 from which a rectangular hole is cut out leaving a margin somewhat wider than the flangesQ of frame 1. A facing 4, simulating the binding of a book, covers the two plates 3 and 3 and theV back wall of the frame 1. The bottom plate 3 has tongues 17 which pass through slots 18 in the back wall of frame 1 and are bent over Hush with this wall. This secures the bottom plate 3 to the frame. T he plate 3 is further secured thereto, together with the facing 4, by means of the channel member 5 which clamps the facing and the bottom plate to the flanges 2. rlhe facing 4 and the frame-work 2 are similarly secured to the top cover plate 3 by a second channel member 5. The walls of frame 1 may be provided with additional but inwardly projecting flanges 7. The box space formed by frame 1 and the bottom plate 3 may be divided into compartments, as shown, each comprising a shallow pan, such as the pans 9 and 10, one for rouge and the other for face powder, separated and, at the saine time, held in place, by a cross piece 11. Pads containing rouge and powder may be provided, as indicated in the drawing by dotted lilies and-designated by the numerals 12 and 9 13. Various means may be used to effect closure. Merely as a matter of illustration, a simple form of snap arrangement 8 is shown, either secured to the frame-work 2', as in the preferred embodiment, or to the top cover plate 3', as in the modification shown in Figures 5 and 6. The inward edges of the frame-work 2 are formed into the bezels 14, for which purpose the margin of this framework has been left wide enough, as stated above. A mirror 15 is set within the bezels 14 and rests against the top cover plate 3. The bezels 14 are so spaced that when the container is closed they can pass the inwardly projecting lianges 7 of frame 1. The facing 4 is turned inwardly at 16 in a manner similar to that common in the art of book binding.
It is to be understood that the shape of the container need not be rectangular, nor is it necessary for` the top and bottom covers to be of the same shape or size. As already stated, the construction is applicable for many purposes, and, while only a vanity case is shown and specifically described, the invention may clearly be used in the making of a great'variety of other containers of similar type.
I claim:
