The inner wall I is attached to an enclosing wall 2 to form an enclosure 3 having a greater depth at one side than at the other. A plurality of relatively large receptacles 4 are attached to the wall I and extend into the enclosure 3 at the deeper side of said enclosure, and a plurality of receptacles 5 are attached to the wall I and extend into the shallow side of the receptacle (Figs. 2 and 6). The wall I is substantially rigid and inflexible so as to support the several receptacles or compartments properly. These receptacles or compartments 4 and 5 are preferably removable and replaceable, an appropriate mounting being shown in Fig. 13, comprising a resilient ring 6 enclosing the outer end of each receptacle or compartment. The rings 6 are mounted in openings in the wall I, and may be formed with flanges 'I to seat against the outer surface of the wall I.
Each receptacle is provided with a closure which, as shown, includes a frame 8 supporting a transparent panel 9 through which the contents of the receptacles may be seen. Each frame 8 is attached to the supporting ring 6 by a hinge l0, permitting the closure to be moved from closed position to open position, and vice versa.
These hinges may be of the friction type so that they will retain or hold the respective closures in the positions to which they may be moved and will substantially prevent oscillation of the closures when they are open. Each closure may be formed with a latch detent ll (Fig. 13) to engage Within the attached receptacle when closed. A finger piece l2 may be formed on each frame 8 opposite from the hinge I!) to facilitate opening the same.
In the arrangement shown (Figs, 2 and 8), the wall I is formed with a depressed portion l3, and a hinge I4 is attached to the wall I at one side of said depressed portion. Preferably, the depressed portion i3 is circular and is located eccentrically with respect to the circular wall I and toward the shallow side thereof to provide space for the large receptacles 4 at the deeper portion of the compartment 3. An annular frame I5 is -mounted on the hinge l4 and supports a convex mirror it cooperating with the wall of the depressed portion i3 to form an enclosure adapted to receive and retain a cosmetic applicator such, for instance, as a powder puff II. In Fig. 6, the frame l5 and mirror iii are in closed position and will retain the device I! in the enclosure provided thereby. The depressed wall I3 is formed with an opening l8 for the discharge of powder or the like from a drawer l9 mounted for sliding movements upon supports 28 attached to the concealed side of the wall H3. The top wall 2| of the drawer I9 is formed with an opening 22 which registers or communicates with the opening l8 when the closure comprising the mirror I6 is open (Fig, 8), and which is closed by the wall 13 when the mirror I6 is in closed position. The frame l5 has a spring detent 23 which engages within the depressed portion l3 and yieldingly holds the mirror IS in its closed position.
The frame I5 is formed with an arm 24 which is engaged With a projection 25 attached tothe drawer l9. When the frame I5 is operated to move the mirror E6 to open position, the arm 24 automatically moves the drawer [9 to a position in which the opening 22 registers and communicates with the opening I8; and, when the mirror 16 is moved to closed position, the drawer I9 is moved to the position shown in Fig. 6, in which the opening 22 is closed by the wall I3.
From the foregoing, it is apparent that this portion of the kit supports the various cosmetics ordinarily used for make-up purposes in approximately the proportions needed. The larger receptacles 4 may easily be refilled with creams, cosmetic bases, etc., while the smaller receptacles may contain such cosmetics as rouge, eye shadow, lip rouge, and other preparations used in smaller quantities than the creams. Moreover, the transparent panels 9 permit observation of the contents of the various receptacles without opening the closures therefor.
In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1-to '7, the cooperating portion of the kit comprises a substantially rigid and inflexible inner wall 25 attached to an enclosing wall 26 to form an enclosure 21 having a greater depth at one side than at the other. In this arrangement, the two portions of the kit have approximately the same contour and their deeper sides or ends are connected by a double hinge device 21', permitting the two parts of the kit to be moved from closed position, as shown in Fig. 5, to open position, as shown in Fig. 1, and vice versa.
The wall 25 is formed with a number of openings at the shallow side of the enclosure 21, and containers 28 are secured within said openings and provided with sliding closures 29 mounted in guides 29. If desired, these closures may be mounted otherwise for movement to afford access to the contents of the containers 28. These containers are adapted to i receive and hold any needed toilet facilities, such as mascara brushes and other articles. A fiat mirror 30 is mounted in a frame 3| connected with the wall 25 by a hinge 32 and having a spring latch 33 at its opposite side. The mirror 38 constitutes a closure for an opening 34 in'the wall 25 at the deeper portion of the enclosure 21. A quantity of cleansing tissue 35 may be mounted in the deeper portion of the enclosure 3 between resilient ears 36, and the tissue 35 may be extended through a slot 31 adjacent to the hinge 32 for convenient withdrawal for use. The tissue 35 may be in the form of a roll or other arrangement, as desired. All of the parts that are supported by the wall 25 are frictionally or otherwise held from displacement so that, when the kit is opened, as in Fig. 1, none of said parts can become detached or lost. I
A strap 38 is shown attached to the outer inclined wall of the enclosure 3, and a similar strap 39 is shown attached to the outer inclined wall of the enclosure 21; so that, when the kit is opened as in Fig. 1, the hand of the user may I be extended through the straps 38 and 39 and the kit thereby held openand conveniently supported in position to use either side of the kit. Or, as shown in Fig. 14, the strap 38 and the adjacent wall 26 may be provided with engageable and releasable fastener elements 49. This arrangement permits the hand to be inserted through the strap 38 and the strap 39 to be omitted.
The device shown in Figs. 15 to 19 comprises a substantially rigid and inflexible inner wall 4! and attached walls 42 forming a tapered angular enclosure 43. The wall 4| at the deeper side of the enclosure 43 is formed with an opening 44. A closure 45 for said opening is mounted on a hinge 46 and has a slot 41 through which the cleansing tissue 48 may be withdrawn from a roll 49. The roll 49 is shown on a spool 50 rotatively and removably supported by brackets 5| attached to one of the Walls 42. The roll 49 of tissue may be inserted through the opening 44 and removed and replaced as needed.
The wall 4| supports containers 52 like the containers 4, and containers 53 like the containers 5, for analogous purposes, and also supports containers like the containers 28 and equipped with sliding closures 54 mounted in slides 55 in the manner of the slides 29 that are mounted in the guides 29. The hinged closures 5B for the containers 52,- and the hinged closures 51 for the containers 53, are analogous to the closures 9. A mirror 58 is mounted in a frame 59 attached to the wall 4l by a hinge S0 to permit said mirror to be moved from closed position to open position and thereby afford access to the enclosure 43 as desired.
The lid BI is attached to the wall 42 at the deeper side of the enclosure 43 by a double hinge 6 2 which permits said lid to be swung from closed position, as shown by solid lines in Fig. 7 5
17, to open position at the opposite side of the kit, as shown in Fig. 16. The straps 63 and 64 are attached to the lid 6| and to the rear Wall 42, respectively, and are analogous to the straps 33 and 39 and for the same purpose. A mirror 65 is attached to the inner side of the lid BI and may be considerably larger than the mirror 53 and of different contour or shape, as desired. Fasteners 66 may be provided to hold the kits closed.
A beauty kit or cosmetic container formed in substantial conformity with the preceding disclosure will supply all usual. or anticipated requirements for a complete make-up. Th respective containers for the different cosmetics are securely attached to a, substantially inflexible part of the kit but may be removed for replacement by others of like size as desired; or the difierent containers may be refilled from time to time with similar or difierent cosmetics. The entire devic may be supported by either hand of the user at all needed angles of observation without possibility of displacement of any of the containers in the kit because of their secure attachment thereto and without danger of dropping the kit itself because of th arrangement of the supporting straps. The containers are preferably of graduated sizes to hold different amounts of cosmetic supplies. Usually, the smaller receptacles will contain color materials because relatively small quantities of these materials is ordinarily used, while the larger receptacles contain other materials, such as creams, of which larger quantities are needed. The fact that the kit can be supported for use at difierent angles without possibility of disarrangement enables the user to make most effective and satisfactory use of the device even while traveling.
It should now be apparent that this improved kit may be made in difl'erent forms and shapes as desired, and arranged to suppport various preparations and articles. The kit may be held open and supported by one hand of the user extending into the space between the two hinged parts of the kit and turned to different positions so that either side of the kit may be used as desired. The closures for the various compartments and containers are arranged so that they will not vibrate or oscillate when open, or become accidentally opened when they are closed. The form and arrangement of the device may be varied in numerous particulars without departure from the nature and principle of the invention.
