COMBINATION VANITY BOX.

To all 'whomz'tma concern:
Be it known t at l, Geenen Gusso a citizen of the United States, residing at N ew York, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Combination Vanity Boxes, of which the following is a specification. 1 This invention relates generally to the construction of vanity cases.
The invention conslsts of a receptacle for `powder and rouge and an applicator therefor,` and includes a mirror element distinct from the receptacle proper and the cover member. -The mirror is mounted to automatically risel to a convenient position for use when the receptacle is opened, leaving the cover and body portions of the receptacle each available for use as material-containing compartments.
Other features of the invention include a removable supporting framework to fit the inside of the main body portion of the receptacle andto provide a holder for a compact or cake of powder or other cosmetic. The holder thus provided is adapted also to receive a powder pu or other applicator for the powder. The mirror element referred to is adapted to be -closed down against the powder puff and the cover of the receptacle containing a supply of rougeor other material and a puE or applicator is in turn adapted-to be closed down against the mirror thereby providing a 'compact assemblage of the various parts when 4not in use.
In thefdrawings,` in which a preferred embodiment of the invention has been selected for illustration,
Figure 1- is a view in perspective of a vanity case embodyin the invention and showing the' structure 1n its opened condition.
Figure 2 is a view in vertical section of thel parts shownin Figure 1.
Figure 3 isl a view similar to Figure 2 'l showing the parts in closed condition.
Figure fi is a view :from underneath of a ycontainer device adapted to he fitted to the receptacle cover member as in Figure 1. p
Figure 5 is a view oi' a combined mirror and holder element adapted to be itted to the main body portion of the receptacle as shown in Figure 1.
`12- or a mirror element 13 having a spring hinge connection at 14 with its support and arran ed to automatically assume a' vertically mclined position, as indicated in Figure 2, -when the cover member 11 is swung back to opened position. v
The mirror supporting member 12 includes a pair of diverging base members 15' arranged to rest on the inner surface of the base of the container and provided at their free ends with upstanding bowed terminal members 16 adapted to fit beneath an annular shoulder 17 formed on the container to serve as a stop for the cover member. This disposition of the members 16 securely anchors the forked members 15 and the mirror support in position., so that the upward swing of the mirror to its elevated' position will not cause the mirror support to be thrown or lifted out of its position.
It will be seen that the mirror supporting member includes a shelf-like element 18 having the form of a segment of a circle and to the upper surface of which the mirror element is hinged. It will be seen thatthe member 18 forms a firm and rigid sup- 'port for the mirror and also serves as a stop as at the point 19 against which the mirror frame engages in its raised position, and also helps to hold the compact in place.
The container is adapted to receive a cake or compact of powder 20 held in place by the bowed members 16 and a powder puf` 21 which is arranged to rest on the compact as indicated in Figures EZ and 3 of the drawing-,and against which the mirror 13 rests in its lowered or closed position. The mirror with its supporting 'framework may be Y removed bodily from the container by y springing the 'frame member inwardly from' its en agement'at 22 beneath the shoulder 17 at t e right hand side of the container as shown in' Figure 2.
The cover member 11 is provided `with an annular member 23 having a dange 211 at its inner periphery which serves as a spacing member to hold the annular member spaced from the inside surface of the cover and thereby form a rounded opening 25 to serve as a compartment for a cake or compact 26 of rouge or ythe like. A correspondingly shaped puff 27 also fits into the opening 25 on top of the cake 26.
In order to hold the puit 2'? and the compact 26 in position in the compartment 25 in the cover a U-shaped member 27 is mounted beneath the annular member 23 and provided with outwardly bent hook members 28 which extend through openin 29 formed in the annular member 23 ad'acent t-he opening 25. seen t at the hook members 28 overhang the opposite edges of the opening 24 so as to engage and hold the cake or rouge 26 and the powder pud 27 in position in the cover compartment.
It will be seen that with the constructtion described a device of the general type described is provided which makes use of compartment space for materials in both the receptacle and its cover member, and which includes a mirror construction in which a mirror element automatically rises to a fixed angular position cnnvenient for use upon the lifting of the cover member.
It will be understood that for the purposes of this specification, and in the claims, the terms receptacle and cover may be interchangeable, for instance, in the sense that the mbined mirror-supporting and compact-holding member might be positioned in either the receptacle or the cover.
What I claim is 1. In a vanity case construction.y a receptacle forming a compartment for cosmetic material, a hinged cover member forming another compartment for material, a mirror-supportin and compact-holding element removab y positioned in the receptacle, a mirror having a hinged mounting on the element, and means for automatically raising the mirror to a convenient position for use when the cover member is lifted.

In a. vanity case construction, a receptacle forming a compartment for cosmetic material, a cover member hinged to the receptacle, a mirror element, a support for the mlrror element including au anchoring member extending along the inner surface of the bottom of the receptacle and having an upwardly extending lug, a shoulder on the receptacle beneath which the lug engages, and a spring hinge connect-ion ben tween the mirror and its support.
3. In a vanity cese construction, a receptacle forming a compartment for cosmetic materiali, cover member hinged to the receptacle, a mirror element, a support for the mirror titting one side of the inner contour et the receptacle and including a mirror sup- It will bev issues porting member lying substantially flush with the upper edge of the receptacle, and a spring hinge connection between the mirror element and an innei portion of the upper surface of the support, whereby the mirror is normally impelled to take a positioninclined slightly to the perpendicular and engaging the surface of the support as a stop.
4. In a vani-ty case construction, a receptacle forming a compartment for cosmetic material, a cover member hinged to the re-y ceptacle, a mirror element, a support for the mirror removably fitting an inner side of the receptacle and including a mirror supporting member lying substantially flush with the upper edge of the receptacle, and a spring hinge connection between the upper surface of the support and the mirror, whereby the mirror is normally impelled to take a position inclined slightly to the vertical and engaging the upper surface of the support as a stop, diverging anchoring members extending across the inner surface of the bott/om of the receptacle, upwardly extending lugs on the free ends of the anchoring members, and a shoulder on the recept-acle beneath. which the lugs engage.
5. In a vanity case construction, a receptacle forming a compartment, a cover member hinged to the receptacle, a mirror element, a support for the mirror element removably fitting an inner side of the receptacle and including a mirror supporting member lying substantially flush with the upper edge of the receptacle, and a spring hinge connection between the upper surface of the support and the mirror whereby the mirror is normally impelled to take a vertical position resting against the support as a stop, an annular shoulder on the receptacle interengaged by the mirror support, diverging anchoring members extending from the support across the inner surface of the bottom of the receptacle, upwardly extending lugs on the free ends of the anchoring members engaging beneath the shoulder, ai powder compact and a powder putt" fitting in the receptacle, a compartment in the cover member for a rouge compact and a pad, and spring hook members overlying the edges oi the compartment yto hold the contents in piace.
