LAWRENCE EBERT GOELLER, OF'GIRCLEVILLE, O HIO TOILET KIT Application filed May 10, 1930. Serial No. 451,467.

This invention relates to toilet kits and more particularly to a toilet kit particularly adapted for traveling although it will be found equally useful under almost all circumstances.

An object of the invention is to provide a toilet kit adapted to hold certain commonly used toilet tools in a most compact and efficient manner whereby said tools cooperate with the kit to mutually protect the tools and permit the use of parts of the kit as supplementary toilet articles.

A further object of the invention is to provide a kit of the character indicated of an improved and simplified structure lending itself to simple and economical manufacture.

Further objects will more particularly appear in the course of the following cletailed description.

The invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combinations of parts hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.

Two sheets of drawings accompany this specification as part thereof in which like reference characters indicate like parts throughout.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved kit with a whisk broom in place, the

1.30 kit being folded and secured in its most compact form.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 except that the kit is here shown folded upon itself in reversed manner to permit the use of the kit as a shoe brush.

Fig. 3 illustrates in perspective the four blanks from which the improved kit is constructed.

Fig. 4 is a longitudinal cross section through the assembled kit in the folded relation illustrated in Fig. 1. V

Fig. 5 is a cross section taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a transverse cross section taken on line 6-6 of Fig. 5. V

Fig. 7 is a transverse cross section taken on lines 77 of Fig. 4.

The relationship of the parts of the kit in assembled form will be more readily appreciated, it is believed, by first understanding the manner in which it is constructed, which can be readily ascertained byparticular reference to Fig. 3 in which reference character 1 indicates the main body part of the kit, which is preferably formed of leather or some similar suitable flexible material.

Adjacent one end of body member 1 are laterally extending wings '2--2 and adjacent the other end are similar laterally directed wings 3-3 and this latter end is further provided with spaced longitudinally extending wings or flap members 44. A piece of chamois, sheepskin or other suitable material 5, having a fibrous coating 14 is secured over one end of'body member 1 by being sewed or otherwise secured to flaps 22' with the "hair' or fibrous surface outwardly directed, orming a large pocket adapted to receive a whisk broom B having the usual handle 6, which handle will ordinarilyextend beyond the end of body member 1. A second member 6 isprovided having a cut out window 7 adjacent one end andthis member is adapted to be folded upon itself transversely to form 3 plies of substantially equal length. Afourthsupplementary part 9 is provided of substantially the same size as themember 6 when folded and this supplementarymember 9 is interposed betweenthe'middle of member 6 and the end part having the window 7 and is secured to themiddle part of member 6 by a single line of stitching 11', extending longitudinally and medially thereof.

The member 9 being concealed except for its end part, it may bemade of cheaper'majterial, and an end dressing strip 10 may be secured thereto to make the exposed part thereof conform in appearance with the remainder of the kit. The assembled members 6 and 9 are then placed upon the main body vl between flaps 33 and the said flaps 33 are folded over and cemented to the side edges of member 9. The end of member 6 having window 7 is then foldedover upon member 9 and itsside edges are in turn secured to the upper face of flaps 33.

By reason of the structure thus described it will be apparent'that between the middle part of member 6 and member 9 are formed two pockets, one on either side of the stitching 11, each adapted to receive a nail file, small comb or other similar toilet tool. Between member 9 and the end part of memher 6, provided with window 7, is a pocket adapted to receive a mirrow M, the reflecting surface of which may be conveniently exposed through window 7.

Main body 1 is adapted to be folded intermediate flaps 2--2 and flaps 3-3 in either direction as is well illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.

For closing the device the main body 1 is folded toward the pockets whereupon it will be noted that the exposed hair or fibre face of member 5 will be interposed between the mirror face and the whisk broom thus forming a soft pad to protect the mirror in transit. The body 1 may be folded in the opposite direction as is illustrated in Fig. 2 whereupon the hairy face of member 5 will be exposed and by grasping the handle I) of the whisk broom the device can be used quite efficiently as a shoe brush.

Suitable snap fastening devices l2--12 will be provided upon the spaced flaps 4-4, having co-mating members positioned on the back of member 1 and a similar fastening 13 will be provided upon member 6 to secure the free end of that member in folded relation over the mirror when desired. It will be noted that when folded over and secured the free end of member 6 will close both the mirror pocket and the pockets provided for the supplementary tools, thus securing the contents of all of these pockets.

Various modifications in the precise form of the device will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art but within the scope of the present invention as claimed.

Having thus fully described my invention I claim v:

1. A toilet kit comprising a cover device adapted to embrace a whisk broom to protect same, leaving its handle exposed, said cover device including mirror holding means and brush means, means for adjusting the cover device to expose the mirror, and means for adjusting the cover device to expose the brush means, while the device is held by grasping the handle of a whisk broom contained therein.

2. A toilet kit, comprising an elongated body member having laterally extending wings near one end; a second member, shorter than the body member and having a soft surface, forming with the body member a pocket open at both ends by being attached along its lateral edges to the wings; two tabs, spaced apart, extending longitudinally from the other end of the body member, this end of the body member being a flap foldable over the pocket to close one end, the tabs being foldable over to close the other end excepting the space between them, providing for the handle of a whisk broom; and clasps on body and tabs, adapted to hold the flap and tabs in closed position over the two pocket ends, or to hold the flap doubled back against the outside of the pocket, so that the soft surface may be used as a shoe polisher, the device being held by grasping the handle of a Whisk broom contained in the pocket.

3. The structure of claim 2, with a third member attached to the flap, being elongated and having a central portion and two end portions foldable over the central portion, one end portion having a window cut out for a mirror; a fourth member attached to the central portion of the third member to form pockets; and clasps adapted to hold the other end portion in closed position over the pockets and window.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

LAWRENCE EBERT GOELLER.
