CONTAINER FOR POMADE.

Application tiled August 22, 1927. Serial No. 214,459.

This invention relates to improvements in a container or tube for pomades and refers more particularly to an improved type of container which eliminates certain objectionable features in containers heretofore used, particularly with reference to accessibility of the pomade and cleanliness in the use of the pomade.

Fig. 1 is a side view, partly in section.

Fig. 2 is an elevational view in which the container has been rotated through an angle of 90 from the position shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an elevational reverse view from that shown in Fig. 1 with the `pomade stick in a raised position.

Fig. 4 is a horizontal section through the line 4 -4 in Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary section through the hinged cap, showing the hinged con- 2`0 struction, and

Fig. 6 is a rear view of the construction shown in Fig. 5.

Referring to the drawings, at 1 is shown a container or tube in which is a slidable sleeve 2. This sleeve is partitioned near its top by a division wall The sleeve 2 is slidable in the container and the cup lshaped,

portion in the upper part of the sleeve formed -by the partition 3 furnishes a support for the pomade stick 4; the section of fastening may, however, be by means of a rivet stud, or any other suitable connection. The set screw 6 extends from the slide bar through the slot 7 in the container, and is screwed into the sleeve. On the slide bar is a protuberance shown as a handle or knob and the pomade ready for use.Y As the top of the` pomade stick is used the sleeve is pushed upwardly by means of the knob 8 on the slide bar 5, thus raising the pomade stick in the container.

Heretofore there have been commonly used containers in which the pomade is raised by means of a screw, or by a sliding'` arrangement somewhat similar to that shown, but such devices particularly the slidable pomade stick contalners, have a slot in that portion of the container in which the iomade stick rests so that the raising and lowering of thematerial causes the grease of the pomade stick to follow the slot and produce an untidy container, difficult to handle and impossible to keep clean. Furthermore, such constructions are unsanitary as a portion of the stick is at all times exposed.

The present device eliminates the difficulty of having a portion of the stick exposed, and keeps the stick inf/an air tight container, except when the cap is lifted for use.

The construction furthermore is compact and relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and has the advantage of being absolutely sanitary. i

I claim as my invention:

A pomade holder, comprising a tube-like container, having a removable topa sleeve occupying substantially the lower half ol the container, a partition -in the upper part of the sleeve supporting the pomade stick which occupies substantially the upper half of the container, a vertical slide bar having' connection with the sleeve through aslotin the container, said slot sealed from the pomade chamber'of the container.

8. The container is surmounted by a cap 9, hinged as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, by means p of a hinge 10. On the front of the cap is 'a catch 11 which has an outwardly extend ing front flap portion 12, by means of which the cap may be opened with the thumb while the container isgripped in the hand.

' In Figure 1 the container is shown with a new pomade stick in place, and the sleeve in a lowered position. The cap is opened voo
