Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 26, 1906.
Application filed April 8, 1905. Serial No. 254,584.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, PATRICK A. TOOMEY, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Toilet-Powder Receptacles; an I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and e to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to a novel toilet article designed as a congenientneans of car- 'n an a l 'n -to' et ow er. Tfiedevic gazidispecially that designed to becarried by the user, is so constructed as to permit the toilet powder to be readily ap-, plied'when desired from time to time, while -iprreventing accidental escape of the powdercm the container or case. I have shown two'general types of the device, one being designed more particularly to be carried by the person using the same, while the other is designed more particularlyfor useLin the dressing-room.
The invention'consists in the matters hereinafter set forth, and niore particularlypointed out in the appended claims. I
In the drawlngs, Figure 1 illustrates one embodiment of my invention and showing the manner of carrying it in a lady s pocketbook. Fi 2 illustrates an axial section of' Fig. 3 is a partial axial section of said embodiment of the invention, illustrating the manner of discharging powder therefrom. Fig. 4 is .anenlarged detail section, showing the form of closure by which the powder is retained in the container or case andconstructed to er-- mit its ready discharge when desired. Fig. 5
. illustratesan axial sectional view of another form of the device.' Fig. 6 illustrates a form of the device designed more especially for use I l on the dressing-table. I V v The device shown in Figs. .1 to 4, inclusive, embraces 'acylindric casing or tube A, which at one end and is provided at its with a removable part A, that fits within the open end 'of the part A, either by telescopic 'or other suitable connection,and which when removed permits the tube A to be filled and when .inserted into place closes the tube A. The removable part A constitutes a continuation of the tubular receptacle through the aperture (I. referred to.

A. The outer end wall a of said removable section A is provided with an opening a, that v is closed by a closure of such construction as to normally retain the powder therein, while allowing it to freely escape when the closure is moved off its seat. The seat and closure are so arranged as to have contact when the closure is in its closing position on a line or sharp angle as distinguished from a surface contact. instance of a conical plug B, which extends Said aperture a is made cylindric, and the conical plug-engages the inner sharp angular margin as more clearly shown in Fig.
of sa dopening,
line of contact of the plug with the angular margin of said aperture is a circular sharply-defined line of contact as disthe plug or closure is moved off its seat, therefore, there is afiorded at once an annular passage around the plug through which the powder is allowed to escape freely. This construction also avoids liability of the powder being retarded in its escape through the passage thus formed between the conical closure and its seat in a manner to clog the saidannular discharge passage. Moreover, the sharp-or angular margin of the aperture of the end wall a of thecasing avoids the packing or caking 85. -of the powder as by reason of the cutting action of saidanbetween'the plugand its seat,-
gu'lar seat any powder tending to remain on the tapered face of the closure will be removed by the cutting action of said angular seat. 7 The plug or closure is held outwardly in its closing position by means of a suitable spring, herein shown as consisting of a spiral expansively-acting spring-C, bearing at its inner end against a able section A of the casing and at its outer end againstthe plug. The lug is provided stud b, about which the spring fits ,to hold the parts in their proper relativepositions. ,Theshoulderhereloo inshown, against which theinner end'of the springC bears, consists of an annular flange a at theinner end of the removable section A. The stop or'shoulder for the innerend of the spring may, formed. In'the construction shown theclosure and its spring are self-contained within The closure consists in the present. 65

however, be otherwise which may be termed a stoppxer for thetubular receptacle A, so e removal of said part A for'refilling no the receptacle does not in any manner affect the spring and closure.
The outer face of the end walla, in which is formed the outletopening a of the receptacle, is depressed or I made concave, and the outer end of the closure B extends sufliciently beyond the concave face of the end wall to permit. the closure to be pressed inwardly away from its seat, as by the tip of the finger or otherwise, to allow escape of powder from the receptacle. Such depression in the end wall (1 permits the plug to be forced inwardly sufficiently to amply open the valve, while avoiding an objectionable extension of the plug beyond the wall, such as would be likely to fully open the valve by the accidental strikmg of external objects, and thereby inopportunely spill powder from the receptacle.
The form of device shown in Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, is desi ned to be made small, so as to be conveniently carried by the user. For instance, it may be carried in a wom ans pocket-book D, as shown in Fig. 1, it being confined between the side compartments of the pocket-book inside the hinge thereof by means of a loop or loops at or otherwise. The device is also adapted for use by a man for applying a toilet-powder after shaving and is of such size and form as to be readily carried in the vest-pocket for this purpose. The spring 0 is made of such strength as to effectively close the device to prevent accidental escape of powder therefrom, and the form of the closure and its seat described is such as to instantly provide for an ample escape or discharge of the powder at the instant of the openm of said closure.
In Fig. 5 IIiave shown a device embodying the general principles of the device above referred to and designed for use on a dresser table or to be carried in. a woman's handbag. The device shown in Fig. 5 comprises a box E, provided with a removable cover E, having therein an aperture through which the powder is adapted to escape or be discharged. The aperture is normally closed by a closure 6, which is spring-pressed to its closing position and is made and operates in the same general manner as the closure before described. In the present instance the closure is attached to the free end of a leaf-spring e, the other end of which is attached to the under face of the removable cover E of the box. This form of device is intended to be used substantially like the form shown in the previously-described qures, it being reversed or turned upside own and the closure 6 pressed inwardly by contact with an external object to permit the powder to escape therefrom.
In Fig. 6 is shown a device made somewhat similar to that shown in Fig. 5, but adapted to be used in a different manner. In the device shown in Fig. 6, F designates a boX provided with a removable cover F. Said the angular opening,
extension interposed between cover F is provided with a large central opening f for the escape of the powder, and this opening is normally closed by a plate-like closuref, that is rovided with a conical or tapered marginal ace f engaging the angular margin of the openingf in the same manner which the conical or ta ered closures of the construction previously (lhscribed engages margins of the apertures thereof. The closure f is held against its seat in the last-illustrated construction by means of a spiral expansively-acting spring G, which is interposed between the inner face of the closure and bottom wall of the box. The lid or cover F is depressed in the same manner that the end wall a of the device shown in. Figs. 1 to 4 is depressed, and the outer face of the closure extends but little, if any, above the plane of the top of the receptacle.
In the use of this form of device it is designed that a powder-puff or the like shall be struck with some force against the upper face of the flat closure F. When so struck, the said closure yields inwardly against the action of the spring G, and the sudden inward yielding of the closure acts topneumatically force the powder from the box through the annular space between the closure and its seat, whereby the same is brought into con tact with and clings to the powder-puff or like articles and by which the powder is applied.
I claim as my invention- 1. A receptacle for toilet powder provided in its wall with a discharge-opening surrounded by a sharp seat located at the inner surface of said wall and a spring-pressed outwardlytapered closure, the conical surface of which presses against said sharp seat to close said and the smaller, outer end of which projects outside of the outer face of said wall.
2. A receptacle for toilet powderprovided in its wall with a discharge-opening and a spring-pressed closure wit in the receptacle closing outwardly against said seat, said seat and closure being fbrmed to meet along a sharply-defined line, the wall containing said discharge-opening being depressed or concave on its outer face and said closure extending outwardly beyond the depressed face of said wall.
3. The new article of manufacture comprising an elongated tubular toilet-powder receptacle closed at one end and provided at its other end with a removable tubular extension constituting a lid or cover and pro vided in its end wall with a discharge-opening, a closure for closing said opening and an expansively-acting closing-spring withinsaid the closure and an abutment carried by the extension and serving to hold the closure normally againstits seat while permitting the closure to be yieldingly forced from its seat.
