No". 5, 1929. w. G. KENDALL HOLDING RING FOR COMPACT PLATES Filed March 8, 1928 INVENTOR William G. KencZaLL WITNESSES ATTORNEYS Patented Nov. 5, I 1929 um'reo STATES,

WILLIAM G. KENDALL, F NEWARK, NEW JERSEY HOLDING RING FOR asnea'ew' fir'ln'rn s 1 Application filed March 8, 1928'; Serial at. 60,083.

This invention relates to holding means for compact plates, and has for an object to provide an improved construction wherein the ring must be deformed in order to be placed in position, or cut so as to be contracted.

Another object of the invention is to provide a compact plate holding ring, wherein one or more corrugations are provided, whereby difierent shaped compact plates may be '0 properly engaged and held resiliently and removably in place.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view through a vanity case with the lid shown open, and with an embodiment of the invention applied thereto.

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure lbut with the lid closed, and another form of bolding ring arranged in the case.

showing a different form of compact plate.

Figure 4 is a top plan view of the body of the case shown in Figure 1, together with the holding ring in an operative position but with certain parts distorted for permitting application and removal of the ring. a

Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4 but showing the ring with the distorted parts pressed back into position.

Figure 6 is a perspective View of a modified form of ring to that shown in Figures 1 to 5 inclusive.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates the body of a vanity case, and 2 a lid hingedly connected thereto in any desired manner. The body 1 may be of any desired shape, but in the drawing, for the purpose of illustration, is shown round and is shown offset at 3 for presenting an annular shoulder 4. This shoulder is, of course, not very deep, and the thickness of the metal is not great, as it is preferably very thin sheet metal capable of being stamped and properly shape-d as desired. As

shown in Figure 1, there is provided a compact plate 5 of a well known design, and in order to hold this plate in position so as not to shift about or drop out, a holding ring p 6 is provided, said ring having one or more. pressed out portions 7 which present nibs or Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, but

small resiliehtzknobs engaging some part of the plate 5. The ring dis a sheet metal band andis provided preferably with a cut down or cutaway portion at SWhereby a'comparaztively narrow neck 9 is produced, which neck isbent as shown in Figure lxfor constricting or'redu'cing the diameter of the ring 6 and thereby permitting the ring .to' be applied .or removed. After the ring has been applied a sslrown' in Figured, thbent out portions 10 and 11' are pressed radially outwardly so as? to restore the circular formation of the ring and then the'parts will be asshownin Figure'5, with all orpart of tlie 'ring 6 being positioned beneath the-shoulder 4, whereby the ring: cannot be'a'cci'dentally removed.

Figure 1, the ring is shown with a number of knobs or; projections 7,: while in Figure 2,

the samering is lsliown butfit is provided with a number-of corrugations 121, These 7'0 corrugations. are preferably annular ring formations, butif desired, could be-madein a'spiral,:though the separate ring formations are'prefera'bly as they present resilient shouldens-beneath which part of the plate 5 may 75, extend, whereby the plate willbe resiliently held in position.

H In .Fj' gure 3, the same structure as shown in Figure 2 is present, except that the plate 5,is curved at itsedgeS soth'ajt the" upper 80. edge 1'3" o f plate 5 will engage belowjthe e o d bed. 1: rid 12. f e r was' produced in plate 5, it would engage'th'e topfbead'. ,Ini this wayv beads distributed over the iitire'surface' of the lingo in order to present" coinpact'fplate engaging projections at" desired points. The beads or' projections 12 are spaced to receive'theconventional and well known compact plates now in use, but if desired,- these couldbe rearranged to accome modatea'iiy special plate desired, and the ri'n' and beads causedto function in the usua manner.- y y. r

, Under some circumstances, it may not be desirable to provide for bending. sectionS), s5. and when this 181116 case; section 9 is divided as shown in the ring 5.- In this form of the invention, the cut away portion 8 is of the usual shape, while a line, of division is pro-' vifdjed at 14 and thering 5 formed to snugly wt fit beneath the shoulder 4 when in normal poheight at one point so that it may be deformed sition. By bringing the edges of the ring for enlarging or contracting.

together at out 14, the diameter is reduced Signed at New York in the county of New and the ring may then be readily removed. York and State of New York this 5th day If desired, ejecting means could be provided of March, 1928.

for ejecting the compact plates without disturbing the ring, or the plates could be merely removed by some implement, as for instance, a manicure scissors or nail file.

What I claim is:

1. A holding ring for compactplates, comprising an annular tubular ring structure formed with a plurality of pressed out portions for engaging and holding a compact plate in position, and a deformable restricted neck, said neck when deformed permitting the ring to be inserted and when forced back into its original position, acting to cause the ring to interlock with, the vanity casein which it is positioned. V V

2. The combination with a vanity case having an annular shoulder, of a holding ring for compact plates adapted to be positioned in said case and beneath said shoulder, said ring being formed with compact plate holding means and with a deformable section acting to reduce the diameter of the holding ring when deformed and to restore the diameter when moved back to its. original position whereby the holding ring may be inserted into said vanity case andthen locked in position. v

3. A holding ring for compact plates, comprising a continuous uninterrupted annular ring body formed with a plurality of pressed out portions for engaging in clamping position different kinds of compact plates and with a deformable section acting toreduce the diameter of the body when deformed and to restore. the diameter of the body when 7 moved back to its original position.

4:. A holding ring for compact plates,

comprising an-undivided (continuous) annular tubular member formed with a plu rality of spaced inwardly extending pro-' jections, and a deformable section acting to reduce the diameter .of the tubular member when deformed and to restore the diameter of the tubular member when moved back to its original position, said deformable section being of less height than the remaining part of the tubular member. g

' 5. A holding ring for compact plates, comprising a continuous and uninterrupted an-, nular tubular ring body formed with a plurality of inwardly extending projections, said body being deformable at one. point whereby the ring body may be expanded and contracted. 1

6. A holding ring for compact plates, comprising a continuous and uninterrupted tubular ring body formed with inwardly ex tending projections, said projections being spaced apart, and said body being reduced in
