LIP STICK CONTAINER Filed Feu-2L 1934 sin? ff f f@ f@ 19 LZ2 23 @j 351 ffl 36 l/Il.
v. Patented Dec. 4, 1934 PATENT OFFICE Y 1,983,083 LIP STICK CONTAINER EllisonS. Irelan, ElzinIlL, assigner to Illinois Watch Case Company, Elgin, Ill.,
tion o! Illinois corpora- Application February 21, 1934, Serial o. 712,371 9 Claims. (Cl. 20G-56) This invention relates to a container for lipsticks and like articles. The present improvements have to do with the provision of a reflect- 4 ing surface, such as a mirror, on one of the walls of the container within which the lipstick or other article is enclosed; and also with the provision of an actuating slide by which the lipstick or other article may be advanced and maintained in various positions of advance within a holder that' is accommodated within the container.
It is accordingly an object of my invention to incorporate a mirror in the construction oi the present lipstick container, and to do this in a manner which is protective to the mirror, which involves but a minimum of expense inits production and a minimum of space for its accomino dation, and which affords at the same time a better grip for the fingers when seizing the' container during the act of withdrawing the lipstick or other article therefrom. It is further an object to provide for the lipstick an actuating slide together with means by which it is locked in various positions of adjustment and with other means for releasing the slide automatically when the lipstick holder is advanced within the container with which it is associated. These and other objects are accomplished by my invention of which asuggestive embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawing in the manner fol- 30 lowing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container for a lipstick or the like; f
Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the container and enclosed lipstick, taken on line 2 oi' Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section on line 3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 which is a view similar to Fig. 3 shows the lipstick partially withdrawn from the container;
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 showing the slide inan advanced position as when the lipstick and holder is being slid within the container whose mirror in this instance is of modified con-` in a holder H slidingly tted within a container C in the form of an' elongated open-ended case having two opposite walls which are relatively wide. The holder may be of conventional formy in that it comprises a square tube open at one end for slidingly receiving a cap D` ailxed to one end of the lipstick or other article. Fitted with in the cap and bearing against the end of the lipstick is a plate 10 spaced from the end of the cap to provide a narrow chamber wherein may be accommodated a leaf spring E having one end portion 11 vertically disposed and then bent around to provide a horizontal portion 12 which extends adjacent the upper wall of the cap and linally executing a return bend 13 to provide a return portion 14 which carries a neck 15 on which is a head 16 forming an actuating slide. Extending laterally from the neck is a shoulder 1'?, and upon the forward face of the head is a cam nose 18. The neck passes through a slot 19 extending for substantially the length of the lower wall of the tube and also in the corresponding wall of the cap. The slide may be used as an operating medium for adjusting the lipstick lengthwise of the tube to a desired position of exposure. Afxed to the cap at the end of the tube is a plate 20 having its opposite edges extended slightly beyond the cap.
The slot edge proximate to the shoulder 1'? is racked as by serrations 4or teeth 21, permitting the shoulder to engage therewith. The tension of the spring acts to push out the slide so that the shoulder is normally engaged with th rack, thereby locking the slide, and with it the lipstick, against longitudinal movement within the tube holder. It is only when the slide is depressed thatthe shoulder becomes disengaged so that adjustment of the lipstick to another position may be made.
The lipstick together with its holder is adapted to be received within the container case through the open end thereof. A slot 22 is extended from this open end for a slight distance so as to receive the neck of the slide.
When the slide is advanced within the case, the cam nose on the slide is brought into engagement with the end of the slot 22 (seeFig. 5), thereby depressing the slide with the result that the shoulder is thereupon disengaged from the rack; continued inward movement of the holder, which wouldotherwise be prevented, is accordingly made possible by this release which takes place automatically. The holder lits snugly, yet lslidingly, against two of the narrower opposite case walls. An appreciable space is left between the holder and the case top as viewed in the several figures of the drawing. So that the holder may remain positioned snugly yet slidingly against the bottom 23 of the case, a pair of bars 24 may be affixed to side walls of the case in overlying relation to the holder. These bars accordingly serve in conjunction with the bottom of the case as guides in the sliding movements of the holder.
The case top which is one of the wider walls is apertured so as to leave but a narrow frame 25 extending around the margins thereof. Received between this frame and the bars 24 is a plate 26 having a polished or mirrored surface. This plate occupies a sunken position with reference to the top of the case and, in cooperation with the frame, provides a top wall for the container.
When the holder is positioned within the case, as shown in Fig. 3, the plate 20 may abut the open end of the case, so as to serve as a closure therefor. The edges of this wall protrude somewhat beyond the top and bottom of the case as at 30 and 31 so as to provide a hold for the ngers when the lipstick is to be removed from the case. In this-operation, the mirrored surface of the case is protected from contact by the fingers due to the raised frame in surrounding relation thereto. In consequence, the fingers will ordinarily rest upon this frame or upon one side thereof when holding the case preparatory to removal of the lipstick therefrom.
It is possible, of course, that the mirror thus incorporated into the case may be constructed otherwise than as described. For example, as suggested in Fig. 5, the central portion of the top wall 35 of the case may be sunken/in relation to .the surrounding edges 36. In such a construction the surface of the sunken panel is polished or mirrored to provide the reflecting surface. In use, the ngers take hold of such a case without contacting the mirror, the same as has already been described.
