This invention relates to a packagebfden- 10 ture, and the arrangement of said articles.
thereinbeing such that the package canbe handled, storedand mailed withthe utmost safety to the contents thereof.
Further'objects of the inventionar-e in part is obvious andin part willappea r more-in idetailhereinatter. a a v I a In theaccompanying drawin'gflhg. 1 is a central vertical sectional view of the present improved package; Fig.2 is a cross sectional View er f. ath lin 2% F g: an lF 3 is an expandedv view of the several parts of the package, some of said parts' being in vertical or longitudinal section. I
The present improved package includes a container structure in which are supported,
in proper spaced relation, a plurality ofarticles for dental use, such as a tube of tooth paste, a tooth brush, and a bottle of antiseptic solution. i
i In the embodiment'of the invention here illustrated, the container structure is in three part'sfand comprises twofidentical tubular containerniembers A each having a closed end, "and atubular'centering member B therefor, over which the two container members are telescoped 'orsleeved. Tl'ietubular body portions 1 of the two container. members are preferably of cardboard of 'sufficient strength, due either to thickness or to quality 40 of material, to give them'the necessary rigidityand durability. The two end'portions 3 or the containermembersyone for each, are preferably of sheet metal, suchas tin, and have'their rim'portions secured to ends of the bodyportions 1, such as by crimping said 5'0 itubularicenterin'g member B is asimpleione- 1929. Serial No. 345,386.
piece tube, preferably of cardboard, substam tially rigid in character and provided with a lining or inner coating of paraflin' orother water proot material. The length'ot said tube is preferably about the same as, but never greater than, the combined depth of the two container members, which enables theedges of the open ends of said container members to be brought into abutting relation when the package is in made up condi- 60. tion, as indicated in' Fig. l. v i
The contents of the package are a plurality of articles 'for dental use, three in'the present instance. 'They; comprise an: ordinary ,or standard tube Got tooth paste; a toothbrush 6:- D inclosed in a protecting papercover E; and a bottle F of an antiseptic solution or the like, said bottle having the usual neck 7 and being of a size to snuglyfit within the centering tube 13.
As indicated in Fig. 1, the package is made up bybringing' one half of thecentering tube B and one of the container'members A into telescoping relation, this container member therefore becoming the lower one.- The 7f, bottle'F is then arranged within said enclosed or lower part of thecentering tube B, with its bottom in abutting relation with the end 3 of the lower container member anditsneck extending toward the open or upper end so of the centeringtube B. The lower end portion of a'spacing and supportingtube K, preferably ofsubstantially rigid cardboard, is then sleeved over the neck 7 of said bottle. said tube restingupon the top'portion 8 or" said bottle and being of such size as to more or less snugly fit the neck thereof. a Thetube G of tooth paste is then inserted into the spacing and supporting tube K, in inverted position, and'is held in proper posi- 96 tion within said tube by its permanently closed flat end 9, which is of greater length than the diameter of said spacing and supporting tube, so that said tooth paste tube end rests upon the upper edgeof said spacing a5 and supporting tube.
Into the annular chamber 12 between the spacing and supporting tube K and the centering tube B is placed the tooth brush D with its-protecting'cover E, the lower ends of ice said brush and cover resting upon the top portion 8 of the bottle F. Additional tooth brushes, literature of various kinds and other objects may also be placed in said chamber, as will be readily understood.
The other container member A is then sleeved over the exposed or upper part of the centering tube B, and is moved down thereon until its lower edge abuts the upper edge of the lower container member. This brings the circular closing part of the end portion 8 of the upper container member intofirmengagement with the flat closed end 9 of the tooth paste tube C, which end is preferably turned to one side, with the result that the upper end portion of the spacing and supporting tube K is not only maintained in concentric relation with respect to the centering tube B, but also the lower end portion thereof is held down against the top portion 8 of the bottle F. Furthermore, such engage ment serves to maintain the tooth paste tube C in proper position within the spacing and supporting tube K, although ordinarily, said tooth paste tube and said spacing and supporting tube are of such relative size that there will be little space therebetween for lateral movement of the tooth paste tube. If
i desired, the parts may be so proportioned that the lower or capped end 11 of the tooth paste tube C willengage the removable cork stopper 10 in the bottle neck 7, sothat there can be no accidental loss of the contents of the bottle F by thev coming out of said stop- The package may be maintained in closed or made up condition by any suitable means, such as by one or more labels secured to the tubular outer surface of both the container members A. One label, of asize to completely cover the tubular outer surfaces of both container members, is quite satisfactory, for it not only-serves as a connecting means for the two container members, but also as a wrapper or cover therefor.
While the container members A and the centering tube 13 are shown as of circular form in cross section, they might obviously be of non-circular form, such as square or hexagonal and the word tubular is to be construed as of sufficient breadth to include all such arrangements. Other changes may also be made without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present invention, as will be readily'understood.
Preferably a key 13 may be provided for use with the tube of tooth paste C, to facilitate the rolling up of the tubeto completely expel its contents- This key may be assembled with the tube of tooth paste by means of a rubber band 15, which holds said key alongside the tooth paste tube, as indicated in Fig.1.

1. A package of dental supplies comprising a substantially tubular container structure having upper and lower closed ends attached thereto, a bottle of liquid arranged within said container structure in abutting relation with the lower end thereof and having a neck extending toward the upper end thereof, a one-piece spacing and supporting tube arranged within said container structure in spaced relation to the side wall thereof and having its upper end portion terminating adjacent the upper closed end of said container structure and having its lower end portion resting on said bottle and telescoping its neck and being held against said bottle and in such telescopic relation bythe upper end of said container structure, and a tube'of tooth paste arranged in and fitting said spacing and supporting tube between said bottle neck and the upper closed end of said container structure.

7. A package as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that said tooth paste tube'has a portion clamped between said spacing and supporting tube and the upper end of said container structure.
8. A package as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that said tooth paste tube has an end portion of greater length than the diameter of said spacing and supporting tube, said tooth paste end portion lying above and in engagement with the upper end of said spacing and supporting tube.
9. A package as set forth inclaim 1, characterized in that said tooth pastetube has an end portion of greater length than the diameter of said spacing and supporting 'tube, said tooth paste end portion being clamped between the upper end of said spacing and supporting tube and the upper end of the container structure.
10. A package as set forth inclaim 1, characterized in that the spacing and supporting tube is of less diameter than the container structure so that; an annular chamber is pro- Vided therebetween, and in that a tooth brush is arranged in said chamber with its loWe end resting on said bottle.
