Definitions

  • I32'-79 'I'lns'invention relates to a container adapted for instance for cosmetics like perfume, face I powder, soap, or for keeping therein chalk, colophony, colored pencils, etc. 1 1
  • the I containers hitherto used for keeping articlesof the kind mentioned were provided with 'covers, and it was therefore necessary to employ both hands to open the container and remove a portion of its contents. This method is quite bothersome. and, furthermore, open to theobjection that during the removal of a portion of the contents parts thereof dropped over the edge of I the container and frequently soiled other articles.
  • the invention eliminates these drawbacks by providing a containerwhich can be opened and closed with one handv and which when opened fully exposes the article kept therein.
  • the .container preferably comprises a casing and folding means acting upon the casing so as to place it around the object during closing of the container. Levers or other suitable means may be provided for winding the encasing, material around the object, and theyconstruction may be such that the levers or other means are for instance jointly -brought by hand into opening position against the action of a spring.
  • the container can be particularly advantageously constructedin the form of a flower whose petals constitute the Walls 'fiof the container and can be turned up or, down.
  • the petals In opened position the petals form a protective guard for catching. portions of the contents, such as powder particles, dropping out of the container.
  • the inside of the flower serves for holding a per- 35 fume receptacle, a powder box with puff, etc., and
  • one of the petals may be constructed so as to have 1 a mirror on its inside.
  • the petals are carried by a plate or by closing levers articulated to the calyx and passing into closing position by spring Y 40 action, whereas the drive for the levers comprises a springy pressing plate arranged in a handle and connected at its ends with the closing levers by means of 'a, drawing device, or the closing levers are provided with drawing means passing through 5 the calyx and, on being actuated, bringing the f petals into opening position.
  • Figure 1 is a section of the closed container; Fig. 2, a section of the opened 55 container; Fig. 3, a bottom view of Fig. 1; Fig. 4,
  • l is a piece of 0010- 10 phony, chalk, etc. which in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to,3 is covered by a cloth 2 and pasted or glued thereto with its bottom.
  • the cloth 2 and the article I are firmly arranged on a carrying plate 3 of the holding device which on 15 its underside is fitted with the bearings A for the levers 5 which embrace the article I and whose ends are suitably connected with the cloth 2.
  • the levers 5 are disposed on the journals 6 and bent back below the plate 3 to form the eye 1, 20 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • This eye 7 is provided with a rigid ring 8 the diameter of which is somewhat larger than the distance between the opposite bearings 4 and which possesses the handle 9.
  • I 0. are springs placed around the journals 6 25 and having the tendency to bring the levers 5 into closing position.
  • the device functions as follows:
  • the holding device When the holding device is in the position according to Fig. 1, the article I will be fully covered by the cloth 2. If the article, such as colophony, is to be used, the forefinger and the middle finger of one hand grasp the two handles 9 of the ring 8. By exerting pressure with the thumb on the plate 3 the latter is lifted ofi from the ring 8, so that, owing to lever action, the levers 5 are brought into opening position, as indicated in Fig. 2, against the action of the spring Ill. The cloth 2 is now spread apart and catches the colophony dust produced for instance by passing the colophony over the strings of a bow.
  • the forefinger and the middle finger of one hand grasp the two handles 9 of the ring 8.
  • the thumb By exerting pressure with the thumb on the plate 3 the latter is lifted ofi from the ring 8, so that, owing to lever action, the levers 5 are brought into opening position, as indicated in Fig. 2, against the action of the spring Ill.
  • the cloth 2 is now spread apart and catches
  • the container serves as powder box and has the shape of a flower, such as a rose.
  • the petals H are arranged on the closing levers [2 which, as shown in Fig. 11, are movably disposed on the shafts l3 in the calyx l4 provided with a guide 15 which is open also below and through which chains, cords, etc. l6 united to form a drawing device are passed.
  • Figs. '7 to 10 shows a container also intended for keeping face powder, face paint, perfume, etc., and provided with a carrying plate 22 serving also as receptacle for the powder 23. 24 is the pufl.
  • a handle 25 is provided on the underside of the carrying plate 22 having on both sides elastic pressing plates 26.
  • the closing levers I2 are disposed and surrounded by the petals I I, as indicated in Fig. 10.
  • the tension springs 27 are arranged which in the manner indicated in Fig. 10 pass over the shaft I3 and engage the closing levers I2 so as to draw them into closing position.
  • the shaft I3 has further wound thereon the draw chain 28 which is connected with the ends of the pressing plate 26, as shown in Fig. 7. If the plates 26 are pressed out of the position shown in Fig. '7 and into the position according to Fig. 8, the chains 28 will unwind from the shafts I3 which are turned so that the closing levers I2 with the petals II move outwardly and expose the powder box.
  • the carrying plate 22 may further be provided with the stamens 29, and the handle 25, as shown inFig. 9, may contain a perfume receptacle 30 formed of rubber or other suitable material, which during compression of the plates 26 is compressed also to emit perfume through the opening 3I while, simultaneously, the flower opens.
  • the container may serve for keeping all sorts of material besides those mentioned without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • a container comprising a casing forming the walls thereof and surrounding the object contained therein on all sides and means constructed as carrying handle for the container and adapted to be operated by one hand for opening and clostion forming a protective guard for catching portions of the contents dropping out of the container.
  • a container according to claim 1, wherein the casing is formed of a plurality of parts, comprising supporting means for the contents, levers for supporting the parts of the casing and articulated to said supporting means and'a joint control member for all levers, said control member forming the carrying handle.
  • a container comprising supporting means for the contents, parts shaped like petals and arranged on said supporting means to form a casing for the contents, an actuating device for the petalsformed as calyx and operable by one hand, said device serving also as handle for the container, and springs for returning the petals to closing position.
  • a container according to claim '4, wherein the supporting means for the contents is conthe actuating device for the petals is constructed 7 10.
  • a container comprising supporting means for the contents constructed as the lower portion of a flower, petals articulated to the supporting means, closing levers for carrying the petals and embracing the contents, springs for bringing the closing levers into'closing position, an actuating device forming the calyx of the flower and serving also as handle and means for connecting the closing levers with the actuating device.
