ALBERT WVAN-NEB, OF HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY.

PERFUMERY-STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,586, dated December 4, 1883.

Application filed June 15,1883.

2'0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT WANNER, of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and 5 useful Improvements in Perfumery-Stands, of

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved perfumery-stand, which, together with the perfumery-bottles, has the general appearance of an opera glass; and the invention consists of a stand for supporting the perfumery-bottles, which stand is formed of-a base part,

vertically adjustable caps for retaining the bottles on the base. and of means whereby I 5 the caps can be lifted clear of the bottles, so as to remove the same from the stand for use.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved perfumery-stand. Fig. 2 is avertical longi- 2o tudinal section of the same; and Fig. 3 a plan showing the caps in a position at right angles to the base, so that the bottles can be removed for use.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My improved perfumery-stand is made in such a manner that when the bottles are placed in position thereon, the entire device has the appearance of an opera-glass.

The stand consistsof a base, A, having vertical circular flanges a 0,130 support'the bottles B B, and circular openings a a inside of said flanges. The flanges a aform sockets, that correspond in shape with the base of the bottles. The base A is provided intermediately between the bottles B B with a hollow pillar, O, which guides the stem 0 of the cap-frame D. The lower end of the stem 0 is provided with a collar, Z), and the 40 upper end of the pillar C with a shoulder, 1), between which and the collar a spiral spring, If, is interposed. The stem 0 is further provided at its upper part with a milled or knurled collar, (1, in imitation of the "screwnut by which the tubes in opera-glasses are adjusted. The cap-frame D isprovided at its ends with caps D, which are made of suitable sheet metal, of a shape to correspond to the configuration of the stoppers and the up-' per parts of the bottles, so that the caps fit (N0 model.)

over the stoppers and the upper parts of the bottles and hold the latter in position on the base A, as shown in Fig. 1. The caps D are, like the base, provided with circular openings e, so that the'heads of the stoppers project slightly above the same, giving thereby to the entire device the appearance of an opera-glass.

To remove anyone of the bottles for use, the frame D and the caps D are raised to such an extent that the caps D clear the stop pers, as shown in Fig. 2. The bottles may then be removed and the cap lowered again. The frame D may, however, be turned around its axis until it is at right angles to the base, as shown in Fig. 3, in which position the caps are lowered again by the action of the,

spring b In this position of the caps, the bottles can be readily replaced on the base A, after which the frame D is raisedagain and turned into line with the base, and then lowered upon the stoppers and bottles by the spiral spring, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2.

In place of the guiding mechanism employed for the cap-frame D, any other equivalent mechanism may be employed-such as, for instance, a screw-nut that engages a spirally-threaded stem of the cap-frame, and raises the same high enough so that it clears the stoppers and admits the removal of the bottles.

The device may also be adapted for single bottles in imitation of a spy-glass, in which case the stem of the cap is guided in an analogous manner in a hollow pillar of the base at one or both sides of the bottles Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A perfumery-stand composed of a base for supporting the bottles, a hollow center pillar, a cap-frame having caps at the outer ends, and means by which the cap-frame is raised above or lowered upon the bottles, so as to remove the bottles or hold them tightly on the base, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a perfumerystand, the combination of a base, A, having flanges a a and openings a a, a hollow pillar, O, secured to the base betweenthe openings, and acap-fraine, D, hav- -n1y invention Ihave signed my name in presing caps D at the ends, said caps having openence of two subscribing witnesses. ings in their top and means whereby the capframe may be raised or lowered so as to clear 5 the bottles or securely retain them on the \Vitnesses:

base, substantially as specified. PAUL GOEPEL, In testimony that I claim the foregoing as I SIDNEY MANN.
