B. DENsEN POWDER BOX Filed dan. 6, 194s INVENTOR. BEHTR/CE E/VSE/Y fw/KM HTToR/vfy I lPatented Nov. 7, 1944 f UNITED i STATES PATENT OFFICE POWDER BOX Beatrice Densen, New York, N. Y.. Application January 6, 1943, Serial No. 471,393 1 claim. `(o1.v azz- 561) 1 This invention relates generally to dispensing containers but is adapted especially for use in vconnection with face powders and other pulverulent material adapted to be dispensed in small quantities by shakingthe powder through perforations in the top wall of the container.
-. The object of the invention, generally speaking, is to provide a simple and thoroughly eili- -.cient construction which may be made of paper or cardboard `and so constituted that the perforations through which the `powder is dispensed may be normally sealed.
lSpeaking generally the container of the present invention comprises a body of any appropriate size having a closed bottom. The top of the container is closed by a permanent cap provided near one end thereof with a group of perforations. Extending longitudinally of the cover cap is a iinger opening through which access may be had to a sliding plate positioned in face abutting relation with the under side of the cover. Beneath this slide plate is an underlying backing plate and both the slide plate and backing plate are positioned between the upper edge of the body and the lower face ofthe cover cap so that they are therebyiheld in face abutting relation. The slide plate may be provided with an opening therein to be engaged by the linger of the user in order that the plate may be slid longitudinally to cover or uncover the perforations but in lieu of this operating opening, I may form on the slide plate an upstanding finger piece which may be gripped and operated for this purpose.
An vimportant feature of the invention is that all the parts may be simply and economically manufactured entirely from paper or cardboard.
Features of the invention, other than those specified, will be apparent from the hereinafter detailed description and claims, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
The accompanying drawing illustrates different practical embodiments of the invention, but the construction therein shown is to be understood as illustrative, only, and not as deiining the limits of the invention.
Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section perspectlve through a powder box embodying this invention.
Figure 2 shows the cover cap, slide plate and backing plate, dismantled and in section perspective, so that the structures of each of them may be clearly understood.
Figure 3 is a section perspectiveof a modified form of slide plate which I may employ.
. body will of course be of a size appropriate to contain the desired quantity of material and this size may vary accordingly. i
The bottom of the body is closed by a bottom cap 2 made from cardboard with upstanding marginal anges 3 which telescope over the bottom of the body and are preferably adhesively secured thereto. At its top, the body is provided with a cover cap 4 constructed in'substantially the same way as the bottom cover cap except that it is provided near one of its ends with a group of dispensing perforations 5 and with a longitu dinally spaced linger opening E. i
Directly beneath and in face abutting relation with the cover cap is a slide plate 1.. This is in the form of a flat piece of cardboard of a width substantially equal to the interior Width of the cover cap and of a. length somewhat less than the interior length of such cap, so that when the plate is slid to the left in Figure 1, it will uncover the perforations 5 but when slid to the right in this figure, it will seal such perforations. The length of this plate, however, is such that at no time will it unseal any part of the linger opening 6,
The slide plate 'l is shown in Fig. 1 as provided with an opening 8 so that a iinger of the operator may be passed through the opening 6 and into the opening 8 for the purpose of longitudinally sliding the plate 1. In lieu of this opening, however,` I may stamp up from the material of the plate 'l a finger piece 8a, as shown in Figure 3, which finger piece may be grasped for the purpose of sliding the plate as described.
Positioned in face abutting relation to the under side of the slide plate l is a backing plate 9. This is in the form of a i'lat piece of cardboard adapted to iitsnugly into the cover capand cut out at one end as shown at l0 in Figs. 1 and 2, so as to clear the perforations 5.
As shown in` Figure 1, the backing plate 9 rests upon the upper edge of the body I, while the cover cap 4 rests upon the top of theslide plate 'l so that,- when this cover cap is secured to the body, the plates 'l` and 9 and the cover cap 4 are thereafter maintained in face abutting relation to one another.
The parts are assembled with the top and bottom caps glued or otherwise adhesively secured to the body of the box and this serves to hold all In the accompanying drawing the body of the moved to the righi; in Figure 1 to seal the perfora tions 4 so that extraneous matter cannot enter the box and at the same time the contents of the box will be sealed against deterioration or sifting of the powder. When it is desired to dispense powder, the slide is moved to uncover the perforations and the box may thereupon be inverted and shaken to dispense so much of the powder as may be desired.
In practice the box may be made with a body of single thickness Acardboard having such an exterior surface as to be satisfactorily printed or lithographed upon as may be desired. In some cases, however, it may be preferred to provide the box with an appropriate liner and `I have shown such a liner in Figure l as designated Il. The liner here illustrated is of cardboard. It is of rectangular transverse section adapted to snugly fit into the interior of the body l and is of a length to extend from the bottom cap -2 upwardly to the backing plate 9. One advantage of employing such a liner is that it may be Another advantage inherent in the u-se of the lineris that it assists the body of the box insupporting the slide plate and backing plate in yproper abutting relation with respect to the und-er surface of the cover plate of the cap and in this lway precludes separation of these .parts "in a manner which. might possibly permit of `sifting, of the. powder through the joints between them.
.The structure of thev present invention maybe very economically manufactured and the slide closure is such asr to eiectually protect the con- .tents thereof at all times, yet make such contents readily available for use when it is desired to dispense theA same.
The foregoing detailed description sets forth the preferred embodiment of the invention, but the invention is to be understood as fully commensurate with the appended claim.
Having thus fully ydescribed the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A paper container of the character described comprising a box body closed at its top and bottom by top and bottom caps permanently secured directly to the body, the lower of which caps is imperforate and the upper of which is provided near one end with dispensing perforations in spaced relation to which is a iinger` opening, a dispensing slide plate entirely nat throughout and positioned beneath and in face abutting relation with the top cap and slidable with respect to the perforations -in the latter to seal and unseal said perforatons, a backing plate entirely vplate in' engagement with the top cap, said backing plate being tree from' Adirect attachment "tol the top cap and said slide plate having ari-'open- -infg therein adapted tob'e engaged by the ringer 'of the operator `extended through the ng'er opening in the top cap 4to .move Ithe slide plate vvinto and out of sealing. relation'with respect ito the perforations in the topk cap,'and a `liner posi- -tioned within the bo-dy of therbox and conforming to the side' walls: of the box body with thxe lower edge of the liner' seated on thefnterior of the bottom cap `and vthe upper edge of the -linerseated'against the under side of said back- :ing plate to assist the box body in supporting the backing plate.
