Patented Nov. 24, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,660,347 RECEPTACLE Leatha. A. Finnen; Bethel, Kans. Application February 10, 1950, Serial No. 143,400
7 Claims. l
This invention relates broadly to eouipment adapted for use by beauticians and the like, and
'narily used one at a time, and when it is necessary to reach for them on a table or elsewhere, there is in the aggregate considerable lost motion and loss of time, with resultant unproductive labor and inconvenience to both patron and operator. The desirability of saving this time and motion. through the provision of a readily accessible holder for the pins and similar objects used by the beautician. is obvious.
It is an object of my invention, therefore, to provide, for use by beauticians and the like, a convenient holder for the pins and similar objects used vin dressing the hair.
More specifically, my main object is to provide a novel receptacle or holder which can be carried on one shoulder of the beautician or patron Within easy reach of the user. is to provide a holder for small articles that is economical to manufacture, simple to use, and attractive in appearance.
It is well known, of course, that all instruments and accessories used by beauticians and the like lmust be kept as clean and sanitary as possible,
so another important object of my invention is to provide an article holder of the character indicated which may be cleaned and sterilized very easily and economically. To this end a further feature of my invention resides in the provision of a holder made of cloth or similar fabric that can be readily laundered when desired.
Other objects of my invention, together with the features of novelty, will appear during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of the specification and are to be read in conjunction therewith, and in which like reference numerals are employed to identify like parts in the various views:
Fig. l is a perspective View of a holder for hairpins and similar objects in position for use,
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the holder as it appears when lying flat with the pocket folded,
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the lines 3-3 of Fig. 2 in the direction of the arrows,
Fig. 4 is a sectional View taken along the lines ,A- of Fig. 1 in the direction of the arrows.
A further object Referring more particularly to the drawings, in the illustrated embodiment of my invention the r.reference numeral I designates a strip of nexi- `ble fabric such as muslin or the like, the material being of double layer thickness, as indicated in Fig. 4, with the top layer I0a joined to the bottom layer IIIb along its marginal edges by the .stitched seam I I. One of the lateral edges of the .strip is curved inwardly, as indicated at I2, to fit the contour of the neck where the strip is .draped over one shoulder as shown in Fig. 1.
The corners I3, I4, I5 and I6 of the strip are .folded diagonally inward and over the top portion Illa to form the triangular pockets I1 at each l5 end. As can best be appreciated from Fig. 2, the edge I3a then is secured to edge Illa and the edge RI50L to the edge Ilia by sewing or othergsuitable rmeans. The edges I3!) and I4b are partially se- -cured to the strip by stitching as indicated at I9, 20 leaving central openings Ila for access to the pockets I'I. The edges 15b and I6b are similarly treated, and equal weights 20, of lead or like ,materiaL are placed in each of the pockets. When v.the strip is draped over the shoulder (preferably ...2,5 jthe shoulder of the patron) the weighted ends serve to prevent slipping and hold the strip snugly in place as the operator moves about, working on the coiffure. The weights are, of course, removable through the openings I'Ia when laun- ,30 dering of the strip isdesired. n Attached to the center portion of the strip is a collapsible fabric receptacle 2I for holding the .hairpins and similar articles used by the beautifcian in dressing the hair of the patron. The sides 2Ia of the receptacle consist of a piece of doublethickness fabric having throughout its surface haphazard stitching 22, providing suflicient reinforcement and stiffness to cause the sides to stand erect when desired. With the ends of the material joined together to form a collar-like structure, the lower edges are turned and secured to the strip I0 by the stitched seam 23 or other fastening means following a substantially rectangular course in the manner shown.
With the strip lying ilat, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, the sides 2Ia are turned inwardly and pressed into the envelope fold as shown. The employment of this fold, together with the rectangular stitching of the material to the strip, is a unique feature in the construction of the receptacle in that it enables the formation of a pocket which will unfold and stand with its sides erect when the center portion of the strip is held in place and its ends are tensioned downwardly. Thus, when the strip is draped across the shoulder,
subcombinations- Yiswithin the scope of` the claim.
with the weighted ends hanging downwardly, the receptacle will be disposed at the top of the shoulder and serve as a readily accessible holder for the pins and similar 'objects being used by the beautician.
The holder which comprises my invention oiers several important advantages over previously provided articles of this nature. By employing cloth or a similar fabric asl the material from which the holder is made, it is possible to keep the unit at all times sanitary by simply removing the weights 20 and laundering as necessary. It also is simple and economical to manufacture in that all the materials used are inexpensive and easily fabricated. The light weight of the strip makes it conveniently adaptable to rest on either the shoulder of the patron or that of the operator, leaving both free to move about as necessary during the process of dressing the hair. My invention has the further advantage of being capable ofV accommodating all. types of small articles used in dressingl the hair, regardless of -their shape or the material of which they are made Finally, there is a natural tendency of a pocket or holder of this construction to fold inwardly; that is, the walls tendl always to converge upwardly minimizing the likelihood of loss of hairpins, etc., from the pocket, yet permitting. the operator to easily reach the pins by sliding her lingers under the foldedr sides.
From the foregoing it will be seen that this inventionL is one well adapted-V to attain all. of the ends and objects herenbefore set forth together with. other advantages which are obvious andV which are inherent to the apparatus.
It willA be understood that certain features and subcombinations. are ofi utility and may be employed` without reference to other features and Inasmuch asmany possible embodiments of the invention may be made without departing from -the scopeA thereofr it isunderstood that all matter herein set Vforth or shown4 inthe accompanying y. vdrawings is to bev interpreted. as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.Y
^ Having thus described my invention I claim:

A. device of the character described, comprising a substantially rectangular, flexible fabricY strip adapted to be draped over the shoulder, each end` of said strip having its corners folded diagonally inward over a portion of the stripv and joined at the confronting. inner edges createdby the foldt'o form` an open triangular pocket, a removable weight in each of the end pockets, and a receptacle secured to the This iscontemplated by and` center portion of the strip, said receptacle comprising a second strip of reinforced fabric having its ends joined together to form a collar and the lower marginal edge of the collar secured to the center portion of the iirst strip.
2. A new article of manufacture, comprising an elongated iiexible fabric strip adapted to be draped over the shoulder, a second strip of fabric having its ends joined to form a collar, and means securing the lower marginal edge of said collar to the center portion of the first strip, whereby said second strip forms with said iirst strip a collapsible receptacle adapted to stand erect when said Iirst strip is draped over the shoulder.
3. An article as in claim 2, wherein the base of said collar defines a substantially straightsided polygon where it is secured to said rst strip..
4. An article as in claim 2 wherein the base of said collar defines a substantially straight-sided polygon where it is secured to'Y said first strip, and fold lines extending upwardly from the corners of' said polygon dividing the collar into sections adapted'r to fold inwardly against said first strip.
5. An article asf in claim 4 having means stiffening said sections between said. fold lines.
6. A device as. in claimy 1 wherein oner edge of the first strip is curved inwardly to. accommodate the neck contour.
7. An article as' in claim 2 having a pair of weights normally carried by said iirst fabric strip at the opposite endsV thereofl to assist in holding said strip in position when it is draped over the shouldensaid weights being detachable from said first stripv to facilitate laundering oi' the strip andthe fabric collar secured to the center portion thereof.
