, stick proper when the same is not in use, preventing smearing of other articles in a person's purse.
Another advantage of my device is that it is impossible to close the lipstick holder in such a way as to cause the lipstick proper to contact the exterior of the lipstick-holder and leave smears thereon; only when the lipstick is fully retracted into the holder can the same be closed.
' Other advantages of my invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof.
In the drawing:
Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 are elevation views, of a lipstick holder embodying the principles of my invention, the holder being closed in Figs. 1 and 4, in fully open position in Fig. 2 and in fully open position with the end of the lipstick projected therefrom in Fig. 3;
Figure 5 is a plan view of the base of the holder shown in Fig. 1; and
Figures 6, 7 and 8 are fragmentary sections of one of the outer shell members of the holder, the inner movable tube members and the bottom portion of the lipstick, respectively. A lipstick holder constructed in accordance with my invention has all of its parts preferably made of any of the wellknown plastic materials.
In constructing my device, I provide a split outer shell comprising two separate complementary shell members I and 2 which, when in abutting relation, form a closed top and open bottom receptacle. Inside of the shell members I and 2 is slidably positioned a tube 3 with ears 4 extending from the outer surface through the slots 5 in the shell members I and 2. The shell members i and 2 are normally held in closed position, with their edges in abutting relation, by a split cap member or cup 6. The bottom ends of shell members I and 2 are secured in the cup 6 by dipping the bottom ends of the same in acetone and inserting them in position in the cup 6. In this manner they are permanently bonded with the cup member 6. The bottom surface of the cup 5 has holes I cut therein to weaken the same and leave only a single cross member or strap 8. The side walls of the cup 5 are split on a line parallel to the division line between the shell members I and 2 as shown at 9 (Fig. 1) which permits the bottom of the cup 6 to be bent or flexed and operate as a spring hinge (Fig. 2).
When pressure is exerted upwardly upon the ears 4 the tube 3 is moved outwardly between. the shell members l and 2. This causes the free ends of the shell members I and 2 to spread apart and the cup halves to bend or flex outwardly. Due to its construction the cup 6 operates as a. spring hinge means which, when the tube 3 is moved inwardly to the position shown in Fig. 1, causes the shell members I and 2 to spring together. The amount of spring tension required in the bottom hinge means for any particular size holder can be provided by increasing or decreasing the size of the holes I relative to the strap 8 (Fig. 5). To prevent the tube 3 from slipping back into the shell members I and 2 when extended, I provide notches III in the outer walls of the tube in which the ends of the shell members I and 2 engage to maintain the tube in extended position.
The lipstick H is held in a cartridge I 2, slidably mounted within the tube 3. The cartridge l2 has projections or arms l3 extending thererrom, and through the slot I4 in the tube 3. After the shell members I and 2 are opened by sliding the tube 3 outwardly between the outer ends of the shell members I and 2 the end of the lipstick II can be projected from the tube 3 by sliding the cartridge I2 upwardly by means of the arms l3 which move in the slot ll of the tube and form handle members for the lipstick.
The projections l3 extend through the slot [4 and outwardly thereof a distance sulflcient to prevent the shell members i and 2 from coming together while the lipstick is extending from the tube. The edges l5 of the shell members I and 2 will strike the projections l3 and prevent the shell members I and 2 from closing even though the tube 3 is in its inward or fully retracted position within the shell members I and 2. The shell members I and 2 close only when the projections 13 are moved to their fully retracted position and the tube 3 is moved to its fully retracted position, as shown in Fig. l, where the projections l3 enter notches l6 provided in the abutting edges of the shell members I and 2, allowing the edges l5 to come together and completely close the holder.
My lipstick is projected for use by exerting upward pressure on the ears 4 to slide the tube 3 out of the shell members I and 2 to the position shown in Fig. 2 and then projecting the end of the lipstick H from the tube 3 by sliding the cartridge l2 upwardly in the tube 3 by means of the projections l3 until the desired amount of lipstick ll extends from the tube 3 (Fig. 3).
While I have described the preferred embodiment of my invention, the details set forth herein, are shown by way of illustration, and other details of construction and materials may be resorted to within the scope of my invention.
I claim:
