This invention relates to skirt markers and other similar devices for directing by a current of air a stream of powder to accurately produce a sharp visible line or mark by the wearer or other person upon a garment while the said garment is being worn.
One object of the invention is the provision of such a device which is inexpensive to manufacture, yet highly efiicient in operation and stable in construction.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character, comprising a dispensing receptacle frictionally yet slidably mounted on a semitubular supporting post, the said post being provided with longitudinal marginal flanges for engagement by an car at the rear of the receptacle for guiding same and preventing rotary movement thereof when moved up or down upon the said post.
A further object of the invention is to provide such a device having a readily removable mouth piece normally maintained on the receptacle by means of a bayonet joint.
Another object is to produce a device of the character described in which the maximum simplicity of construction and operation is secured.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of the improvements is better understood, the invention consisting substantially in the novel arrangement and co-re1ation of parts herein fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters are used to described corresponding parts throughout the several views, and then finally pointed out and specifically defined and indicated in the appended claims.
The disclosure made the basis of exemplifying the present inventive concept suggests a practical embodiment thereof, but the invention is not to be restricted to the exact details of this disclosure, and the latter, therefore, is to be understood from an illustrative, rather than a restrictive standpoint.
The inventive idea involved is capable of receiving a variety of mechanical expressions, one of which, for the purpose of illustration, is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevation partly in section of a skirt marker embodying my invention;
Figure 2 is a front view thereof;
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the split ring or supporting ear secured to the rear of the dispensing receptacle,
Figure 5 is a plan view of a slightly modified form of the invention, and
Figure 6 is a detail side elevational and partly sectional view showing the tubular hose receiving extension in the powder receptacle before it is riveted in place.
Referring now to Figures 1' to 4 of the drawings, ill indicates a base to which'is secured a preferably semi-tubular graduated supporting post H by any suitable means as for instance a bolt and wing nut arrangement 52. The said post H is provided with a pair of longitudinal flanges l3 and 14 which preferably extend the entire length of the post;
Frictionally yet slidably mounted on the said post H is a powder dispensing receptacle l5 which comprises a preferably metal container It open at the front thereof and provided at its rear wall I I with a pair of ribs i8 and a depressed perforated portion l9. Secured to the said rear wall IT is a split ring ferrule or resilient ear 2!! having a cupped protuberance 2| provided with a hole 22. A rivet 22a connects the ring to the container by passing through the perforation in the rear wall ll of the container Hi and through the perforation 22 of the ring 20. By reason of the extension of the protuberance 2l into the depression IS a tight joint is obtained when the rivet 22a is headed over at 23 thus preventing the tendency of rotary movement between the ring and container. The ribs H3 also provide antir'otation means if for any reason the joint between the ring and container is not sufficiently tight. The ring 20 is further provided with a pair of parallel slideways 24 for frictionally, yet slidably, engaging the flanges It so that the dispenser may be moved to and maintained at any desired height on the supporting post I I.
The open front of the container 16 is provided with preferably a somewhat tapering extension 25 (see Figs. 1 to 3), which is provided with a bayonet slot 26 adapted to receive a knob 21 pressed from the peripheral wall of a mouth piece 28 having a substantially elongated narrow slot or mouth opening 29 through which powder from the interior of the dispensing receptacle may be dispensed by compressing the usual rubber bulb or by means of a spring sheet metal hollow bulb like member 30, the said member being connected by a rubber hose or tube 3| to a tubular extension 32 on and opening into the container Hi. The container is provided with a globular perforated protuberance [6a, which, when in the rivetting operation the head 32a thereof is pressed thereagainst, flattens and contracts about the exterior of the tubular hose receiving extension and forms a tight joint.
In Figure 5 I have shown a somewhat modified form of my invention, wherein the ring 20 is riveted to the side or peripheral wall of the container l6 which is connected by a hollow rivet 33 to a compressible hollow spring metal can-like dispenser 34, in which both sides are compressible. In this form of the invention the dispensing device may be supported on the post II when used as a skirt marker or may be removed therefrom and used as a sprayer for other household purposes.
The split ring or band 20 is preferably made of springy metal, and may also be used upon a solid post, instead of the particular form of post shown in the drawings.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that I have provided a simple inexpensive yet highly eflicient device adapted for use as a skirt marker or powder dispensing device.
Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a device of the nature described, a supporting post, a pair of longitudinal marginal flanges on the said post, a receptacle having a perforated depressed portion in one wall thereof, a split ring, a cupped perforated protuberance on the ring extending into the receptacle depression, ribs on the said receptacle Wall in engagement with the ring to prevent rotary relative movement between the said receptacle and ring, means for securing the ring to the receptacle at its depression, and slideways on the said ring for frictionally yet slidably engaging the marginal flanges on the post.
