COSMETIC-PENCIL CONTAINER.

Application filed August 6, 1928. Serial No. 297,706.

Our invention relates to cosmetic pencil containers and refers particularly to devices of this character in which the opening and closing of the container extends or withdraws a cosmetic pencil carried thereby.

Cosmetic pencils are usually carried in containersto protect them from contamination and from which they can be extended for use.

As these containers are usually of an elongated formation in order to accommodate the pencil, it is evident that a cover must be suppl-ied for the open end of the container` when the pencil is in withdrawn position.

Our invention overcomes the necessity of a separate cover and separate moving means for the pencil and presents a device for the purposes described in which the opening of the container causes the pencil to be extended therefrom and the closure of the container withdraws the pencil into the container.

The above, and other, valuable features of our device will be evident upon a consideration of our specification and its accompanying drawings.

In the accompanying drawings illustratingT one form of the device of our invention, similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

Figure 10 is a section through the line 10-10 of Figure 9.

Figure 11 is a. perspective view of the pivotal assembling pin.

The particular form of the device of our invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings comprises a casing formed of the .two members, one having the side 12 and the angular ends 13 and 14, and the other having the side 15 and the angular ends 16 and 17, the ends 13 and l'abutting upon each other and the ends 14 and 17 abutting upon each other, 'the assembled elements forming a casing with opposite parallel sides 12 and 15 and opposite exposed angular ends 13 and 14, closed at one end and open at the other.

The casino' side 12 has the longitudinal flange 18 and the casing side 15 has the longitudinal flange 19..

The lower portion of the easing has the aligned annular openings 20, 20.

lVithin the casing is'a revoluble cylindrical spring carrier 21 closed at one end 22, the end 22 having a centrally positioned rectangular opening 23 therein.

A resilient member 24 is fixedly attached to the spring carrier 21, extends upwardly within the easing and carries a cosmetic pencil holder25 at its upper, or free, end.

A U-shaped operating arm exterior ot the casing comprises the two sides 26, 26, each carrying a longitudinal flange 27, a circular iange 28 and having a cut-out portion 29, the two sides 26, 2G, being connected by the member 30 which acts as a cover for the open end of the casing when the device is in closed position. Each side 26 also carries a lower circular flange 31.

The operating arm sides 26. 2G have aligned rectangular openings 32, 32.

The several movable parts are assembled by a pivotal operating pin comprising an annular central portion 33, extended into the two-sided flat, or rectangular port- ions 34, 34 which are extended into the annular portions 35, 35.

When the device is assembled, as shown particularly in Figure 5, the two rectangular elements 34, 34 of the pin 33 pass through the annular openings 20, 20 of the casing and are rcvoluble therein, and through the rectangular openings 32, 32 ofthe operating arm, the annular portions 35, 35 passing through annular openings in the base 36, and anged over to connect the several elements.

The operation of the device is as VJrollows With the devicel in closed position, as shown in Figure 1, the thumb and finger of one hand are placed within the circular anges 28, 28 of the operating arm, the

As the irectangular portions 34,

thumb and finger of the other hand are placed upon'the casing within the cut- outs 29, 29 and the hands separated, thus bringing the device intoA the position shown in Figure 3.

34 of the pivotal pm are positioned within rectangular openings in the spring carrier and the operating arm, and as the pivotal pin is` The movement of the operating arm toward closed position causes the. resilient member 24 to be Wound around the spring carrier, thus withdrawing the cosmetic pencil 37 into the casing..

It will thus be seen Vthat our 4device pre-,

sents a cosmetic pencil container, in which the pencil is protected when closed and the opening of which automatically causes the pencil to be extended beyond the easing to any desired extent.

IVe do not limit ourselves to the particular size, shape, number, arrangement or material of parts as shown and described as these are given simply as a means for clearly describing our invention.
