Definitions

  • This invention relates to a novel and improved non-refillable replacement container for face powder and the like and its obJect is to prevent such replacement containers be- 5 ing fraudulently refilled with face powder or other like material of another make than that which the purchaser believes he or she is buying.
  • Such replacement containers are generally held in a more permanent and decorative metal case having a hinged lid and in addition to the replacement containerthis metal box usually holds the powder puflf and may have a small mirror on the inner face of the lid.
  • the present invention applies solely to the replacement container which is purchasable as a separate article and when the powder has all been used it is replaced by another.
  • the powder is held in a receptacle suitably hollowed out and a flexible sieve of fine mesh is laid over the powder and retained in position by means of a retaining band embracing the sides of the receptacle and having an inwardly projecting flange extending over the edge of the sieve to retain it in place.
  • the flexible sieve conforms to the top surface of the powder. It is sometimes preferred to employ a sieve which is not only flexible but is elastic.
  • Figure 2 is a section on the line 22 of Figure 1.
  • the powder is contained in the hollowed out top of the receptacle a which is so shaped as regards its hollowed out portion that a flexible material such as a metallic sieve of fine mesh or a fabric can fully conform to such internal surface without leaving any unfilled corners.
  • a flexible material such as a metallic sieve of fine mesh or a fabric
  • Such a shape is obtained when the receptacle a has in cross section the lano-concave form shown in Figure 2.
  • the invention will hollowed outportion thus has a plano-convex PArENroFFlcE- formationthe plane surface ofwhich forms thetop of the receptacle.- Around the border of this plano-convex cavity there'is left a flat rim on which the edges of a sieve, b of fine mesh can rest. There is preferably a cover piece, which may be made of. a stout paper and is indicated by the reference letter 0. This cover 0 may surround the base and sides of the receptacle a and is conveniently provided with an in-turned flange at c and it is on this flange that the sieve rests. In
  • the powder is insertedin the hollowed out cavity of the receptacle after the covering 0 with its in-turned flange 0 is in place.
  • the sieve of suitable flexible V material such as a fine meshed metal sieve, is then laid in position.
  • a retaining'band or rim d is then laid around the receptacle and cover, being suitably attached as by an adhesive.
  • the retaining band (Z has aninturned flange d at its upper edge and this in-turned flange passes over the edge of the sieve b and retains it in place, even when the sieve in use is flexed downwardly, as for instance as shown bythe dotted position indicated at b in Figure 2.
  • the sieve is made of metal wire, which is flexible but not .very elastic, the flange or rim d and the inturned flange 0' allow the edgeof the sieve toslide a small amount when it is flexed and the amount of this sliding movement permits the metal sieve to conform to the convexity of the bottom of the hollowed out receptacle.
  • the retaining band d may also have an inwardly projecting flange d at its base'or bottom of the receptacle. The entire replacement container, isheld in the metal box 6 which has a hinged lid In use powder pufl' is pressed on to the top of the sieve which causes a small amount er without destroying most of the component parts.
  • non-refillable face powder container comprising a receptacle hollowed out'to contain powder, a cover plece around said receptacle and having an inturned top flange bordering said ho owed out part of the receptacle,. a flexible' ieve resting on said inturnedw flange, a' retaining band around said cover, an lntnrnedv flange on the upper end of sa d retaining band and extending over the border. of the-sieve to retain the same in place 'dur- 1 ing useand an inturned flange on the lower part of said retaining band and embracing the bottom of the cover piece.
