POWDER PUFF Filed Dec. 4, 1954 INVENTOR.

, Patented July 30, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

The present invention relates to improvements in toilet articles and has particular reference to a combined powder puff and compact in which the powder is included in a perforated container adapted to be inserted between the layers of fabric commonly embodied in the usual powder puff.

The primary object ofthe invention is the provision of a combined powder puff and compact comprising a cellophane package or container forface powder adapted to be inserted into the powder puff and in which container perforations are provided to allow the powder to penetrate the fabric of the puif when applying powder to the face.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a powder puff including a compact or package of face powder adapted to be inserted into a powder puff and embodying a cellulose container in which the powder is contained and from which the same may be dispensed through the fabric of the puff without wastage of the powder in the application of the powder to the face.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a pervious fabric powder puff including a powder dispensing element of cellulose character which is compact in form, is simple in construction and that may be quickly and easily assembled.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent with reference to the subjoined specification and the accompanying one sheet of drawings, in which,

Fig. 1 is a plan view illustrating my improved combined powder puff and compact with a portion of the puff fabric broken away to show the perforated or pervious cellulose powder container positioned I therein,

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, s

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the powder container per se,

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the cellulose powder container per se,

Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the fabric sections of the usual powder puff between which the celluthe same taken on lose powder container is inserted, and

Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional detail further illustrating the cellulose container and fabric sections of the puff.

It is desirable to have a compact and combined fabric powder puff from which face powder may be readily and easily applied to the face without the necessity of carrying the usual compact and powder puff. In using the ordinary powder pufi, face powder is often dropped on the clothing and is hence wasted in its application to the face,

besides, powder thus applied is unevenly distributed and blotchy. I have, therefore, provided a combined compact and powder puff the compact of which is insertable into the puff fabric and which compact is perforated to allow the powder to penetrate through the fabric of the puff.

In the drawing which discloses the preferred form of my invention the numeral 5 illustrates a cellulose compact or powder container adapted to be inserted into or between fabric powder Duff sections 6 and 1 of the usual character and which compact is provided with dispensing perforations 8 through which the face powder 9 in the container may be dusted. In this manner powder may be more evenly applied to theface without wastage of the same, and a combined compact of this character may be more easily carried and utilized in making up the face, than is possible with the usual vanity case carried by the average woman.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A combined compact and powder puff of the class described including a cellulose envelope, said envelope having powder dispensing perforations provided in the upper and lower surfaces thereof, and fabric powder puff material enveloping said cellulose envelope.

2. A combined compact-and powder puff of the class described including, a cellulose powder containing envelope of substantially circular form having powder dispensing perforations provided in the upper and lower surfaces thereof and a substantially porous fabric covering enclosing the same and through which face powder may be dusted from said envelope.

WILLIAM WINSOR.
