Description

Dec. 4, 1934. H. c. COLE ET AL DISPENSING CONTAINER FOR POWDER Filed June 20, 1953 Av, p e m m W wmmy f c A #2 Patented Dec. 4, 1934 PATENT OFFICE DISPENSING CONTAINER FOR POWDER Harry G. Cole, Philadelphia, and Allen L. Grammar, Meadowbrook, Pa.
Application June 20,
1 Claim.
Objects of the present invention are to provide a sightly and attractive dispensing container for powders of various kinds, such as tooth and other toilet powders, including soap powder, as well as 5 powders generally; to provide for conveniently dispensing pre-determined quantities of powder from the device in definite direction to insure proper flow or delivery of a limited quantity of the powder, to keep the discharge opening free from clogging; and to insure tight closure of the device.
Other objects of the invention will appear from the following description at the end of which the invention will be claimed.
Generally stated, the invention comprises a closed receptacle of any appropriate size and shape having a discharge opening provided with a door or movable closure and having a springretracted inwardly-movable wall or diaphragm connected with the door or movable closure, so
that compression of the wall or diaphragm sets up air compression, opens the door and agitates the powder and so that release of the door sucks in air shutting the door and clearing the opening of any adherent powder.
The invention also comprises the improvements to be presently described and finally claimed.
In the following description reference will be made to the accompanying drawing forming part hereof and in which Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view of a device illustrating features of the invention.
. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the same with parts broken away, and i Fig. 3 is an elevational view of the device look- 35 ing towards the right in Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawing, 1 is a closed receptacle of any size or shape. As shown it is polygonal in plan with substantially parallel top and bottom walls and it is adapted to be held in the 0 hand. The receptacle is provided with a door or movable closure 2. In the drawing the door 2 is provided by three cuts, leaving the fourth side to operate as a hinge. At least one wall 3of the box is resilient or spring pressed and is capable 1933, Serial No. 676,660
of being pressed inward and of returning to its outward position when released. The other wall 4 may be comparatively rigid and forthis purpose it is shown as ribbed in the form of a raised arrow, which, when present, indicates the location of the discharge opening at which the door 2 is arranged. There is a rigid connection 5 between the door 2 and the wall 3, and it is shown as a means for providing end walls 6 on the inner side edges of the door.
In use, the receptacle contains a supply of powder which is retained by the door 2 when held closed by the spring of the wall 3 and-by its own spring, either or both. To dispense powder the wall 3 is pressed in with the result that air is slightly compressed in the receptacle, the door 2 is opened, and the movement of the connection 5 agitates or frees the powder which escapes under the guidance of the door 2 and its end walls 6 in controlled direction. As soon as the pressure on the wall 3 is released the wall moves outward closing the door 2 and creating suction which clears the discharge opening and adjacent parts of powder.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art so that modifications may be made in details of construction, location of parts, and matters of mere form without departing from the spirit of the invention which is not limited as to such matters or otherwise than the prior art and the appended 35 claims may require.
We claim:
A dispensing container for powder comprising a closed receptacle having relatively rigid side and bottom walls and a flexible resilient top wall, said side wall being provided with an opening therethrough and a hinged door normally closing said opening, a rigid connecting member interposed between and connected with said flexible wall and door whereby lateral movement may be imparted to said connecting member through the flexing of said flexible wall to open and close said door.
