In Germany November 9, 1932 5 Claims.

The present invention relates to a traveling set especially designed for the care of the mouth and teeth, which consists of a combination of a tumbler with a mouth-wash bottle and a tube, and which, by its fitness and useful form, may be very conveniently carried in a traveling-case or the like. It is already known to combine tumblers, etc., with bottles and to use them for carryingpurposes, e. g., in the case of vacuum bottles. 'In the case of the latter, however, in most instances threads, do not protect the refill bottle and, first of all, they are by far smaller than the bottle and are screwed onto the neck of the latter. The drawback inherent in such combinations consists in the combination of the tumbler with the bottle being bulky and ill shaped and requiring a lot of space. At the same time, neither the drinking cup, nor the tumbler, can protect the bottle efficiently against knocks and shocks. On the contrary, the fragility of the bottle is even increased.

The present invention relates to a combination of a tumbler with a bottle, or of a drinking cup with the latter, which combination offers the additional advantage that the cup most efiectively protects the bottle against shocks, etc., that the whole set is very small and handy and that it is especially appropriate for carrying articles used for the care of the mouth and the teeth. The bottle contains the gargle, whereas the tumbler forms the outer hullor case of the bottle. The set is absolutely hygienic, since its owner or user has always at his disposal his own glass. Furthermore, any accidental unlocking of the locking device cannot take place, while the set is packed up, as the case may be, within a box, etc. The whole set requires but very little space, and is indifferent to pressure and shocks.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating a specific embodiment of my invention:

Fig. 1 is an elevational, partly cross-sectional view;

Fig. 2 is a front view;

Fig. 3 is a cross section, following the intersecting line III-III of the Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the set forming the object of the present invention comprises a mouth wash bottle I, and a cup or tumbler 2 constructed of any suitable material. The cup and the bottle are shaped and arranged in such a co-operable way that both of them exactly or snugly fit into each other, which is eifected by their slightly conical shape. On the bottle I and on the cup 2, longitudinal grooves 3 are provided which function to avoid any mutual attaching or sticking to each other of both parts by suction, and furthermore, for letting the air enter. Around the neck 4 of the bottle, a cork or rubber ring 5 is arranged, which strikes against or rests on the'bottom 6 of the tumbler and forms an elastic intermediate member. At the same time the rim 1 of the cup or tumbler suitably projects close to or engages with a cork or rubber ring or head 8 providedv on the bottom or base of the bottle. In the bottom part 9 of the latter a slot is provided by measures taken while manufacturing the bottle, whereby an inverted or open channel I!) is formed, into which, as the case may be, a tube ll containing tooth paste or the like may be inserted or accommodated. The whole set is kept or retained together by means of a ribbon l2 made of rubber or similar materials, whereby the outer cup 2 will engage the rubber or cork ring 5, as well as also the ring or head 8. Thus a reliable and dust-proof locking-up is secured, and no mutual adhesion or sticking to each other caused by suction, can take place, since at any time even a slight motion will cause the entering of air into the interiorthrough the grooves or channels. Therefore, neither a vacuum can arise, nor any pressure be caused by fluctuations of the temperature within the interior. At the same time, however, no unlocking of the lock-up device 4 on the bottle neck can take place, even in the case of very heavy shocks. Therefore, no spilling of the bottle content can occur.

Having thus described my invention, I claimf 1. Traveling bottle with drinking cup, in which the cup put on the bottle from above encloses V the bottle tightly and in which the rim of the cup rests on a ring-shaped projecting part provided on the lower end of the bottle, whereby both parts are attached to each other in such a manner, that they can be separated at once, on the outside of the bottle, or on the inside of the cup wall, grooves or channels being provided for, by means of which the space formed between cup and bottle on the one hand, and the open air on the other hand, communicate with each other. we 2. Traveling bottle with drinking cup, in which the cup put on the bottle from above encloses the bottle tightly and in whichthe rim of the cup rests on a ring-shaped projecting part provided on the lower end of the bottle, whereby both parts are attached to each other in such a manner, that they can be separated at once, on the outside of the bottle, or on the inside of the cup wall, grooves or channels being provided for, by means of which the space formed between cup and bottle on the one hand, and the open air cup rests on a ring-shaped projecting part pro- 7 vided on the lower end of the bottle, whereby both parts are attached to each other in such a manner, that they can be separated at once; on the outside of the bottle, or on the inside of the cup wall, grooves or channels being provided for,

by means of which the space formed between cup and bottle on the one hand, and the open air on the other hand, communicate with. each other, whereby the rim of the drinking cup rests on a rubber or cork ring arranged on the lower projecting part.

4. A traveling set including a bottleand a tumbler co-operably contoured and dimensioned for housing disposition of the bottle snugly and separably within the tumbler, the set having longitudinally extending channels intermediate the tumbler and bottle and open at an end to atmosphere when the bottle is housed within the tumbler for permitting the entrance of air therebetween for facilitating separation of the bottle and tumbler.

5. A traveling set including a bottle and a tumbler co-operably. contoured and dimensioned for housing disposition of the bottle snugly and separably within the tumbler, the bottle on the outer face of its side wall having longitudinally extending channels open at an end to atmosphere when the bottle is housed within the tumbler for permitting the entrance of air between the bottle and tumbler for facilitating separation ofthe bottle and tumbler.
