To all whogn it may conce-n: Be it known that we, FRFDERIck GOFRTZI a citizen of the Un'tted States, residing at Newark, county of Essex and State of New i ey. aDd RTissr@LL W:RITCOMB a citizen 5 ers of the United States, residing at Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cont,,tiners; and we 10 (To herebv declare the fol.lowing to b6 a clear, ,tncl exact description of the invention such as Avill eiiable others skilled in the art to whi.ch it ai)l)ertains to inake and use the same refet-(,ri@e beii-i had to ti-le nipanyiiioclraavings, and to characters .15 '1@cco of reference marli:ed tfiereon, which iorm a part of this specification. This inventi6n relates generally, to improvements in cases or boxes adapted to S 20 coiitain f,.tee-powcler and the preseiit invention has reference rnore particularly, to a novel c6nstruction of toilet ,trticle iii tl-ie form of a double-coinpartm nt po ,I e w er-box or case, adapted to contain po@,v-,Iers, in the r ,tkes, or otherivise, 25 form Of COMPacts 0 c and of di:fferent colors, one comp@,.-,,ct bein-ul red or pink rouge, tnd the other comp I a@t being a white face-powder, the box or case being provided with means for keeping the 30 var I iidusly colored and face-powder I O-LIgo, separate from each otiler, and, f Lirthermore to provide a box or case with a ctkeretaining means which can be r--adily cletached and separat.ed from ,tbove the compartments 35 of the box or case, for the @emovii from or replaping within @ the said compartments of the -Lisu,,,l compacts or cakes 6f rouge and fice--D6wder. Ti@e@ invention has for its 1.)rincip@l ob40 ject to provide a novel and sii@iply-constructed powder-box or ctse of the general character hereint-fter more T-Lilly set foi-th, and for the plirposes tbove gt,,iied, providing o,. box or :casing, in:'Whlch variousl y 45 cl"Ored rouae and face-powder, as compacts or in cake-form or otherwise, ma), be pla6ed for use, aAd may be removed there-.Lrom, if desired, without any possibil.it@ of the powder of one color becoming mixed:or in50 termingling with the powder of anotiler 0 color, or. of the color f the rouo@e s ili the color of the f ace-powder. PO ng The resent invention has for its further p object to provide a powder-box or casing of th.e character stated with a -Liard 6r re- 65 tainin),- means for holdinto., the cornpa'cts or cal@es of different colors in their separated relation within the compartmedts of the box or case, and furthermore, to provide tlle main body 6f the box or case with @ a 60 dividing or separating ivall which serves as a carrier with which said guard or retaiiiing means is adapted. to be brotight into frictional holding or retaining engaoellient, but ma'y be readily d he n etac (I for reMOVtl 65 from the b x or case, wlien necessa ? ryOther ob. je6ts of the present invention not at this ti ticularly enumerated me move par will be clearly ui-iderstood from the followiiiu det,,Liled de@,,cription of the present In- 70 vention.

Fi 7 is an end. view of the powder-box g. 5 or with its lid shown in. its raised or C, ,tse, opened relation. Similar characters of reference@ are einployed in all of the said above describect views, to. indica4@-c corresi,)oiiclin,- parts. lo Re-.@L,erring now to the several figures of the drawings, the reference character 1 indicates the complete p6wcler-box made aecordin.cr to the pr'mciples of the present inveiation, the main body the-l@,4@o'c cornprising a base 2 and side-walls 3@ forming a box 6r clise which is preferably of elongated confio-uration the satne being centrally divided by a laterally extend@in(,,, wall-member 4, stiitably secured in position in any inanner 20 the said wall-member with the b,,tse and sidewalls of the main body of the box 6r case, providing two compartments, as 5 ,tnd 6,, in which the rouge-compact @ tnd the facepoivder cowpact 8 are ad,,tpted to be placed, 25 stibst-,tiitially as shonvn in the several figures of the dra-wings. As sliown, at the rear, the side-walls of the S,@,id body ai-e provided -@vith suitably constructed pintle-receiving ears or lugs 9, 30 between which is disposed a p.intle-r-ceivi-ng, ear or lu,@, 12 extending from a portion of .the surrounding rim or flange 11 of the cover or lid 10, a pin or pintle 13 beiiig inserted in said registering ears or lu in the usual 9si 35 manner, thus providiny a desirable hingeconnection for closing @he said cover or lid doi,vn over the main body of the box or case, as represented in Fig@. 2 3 4 and 7 of the drawings. At its forward or front edge the 40 Said lid or cover is made with a suitably formed catch, as 14, ivhich is adapted to be forced over and sprunfy into separable holding engagement with t retaining lug 6r projecti6n, as 15, located in the proper place and .45 extending outwarclly from the front of the side-wall 3, as sho-vvn more particularly in Fig. 1, 5 nnd 7 of the dralwings. Suitably secured within the inner space w,ith which the s,,tid cover or lid 10 is provided is a cor60 resp6ndingly formed iiilay,16, the same being provided with opeiiings 17 @tnd 18, back of which are plteed mifrors 19 and 20, corresponding to the compartments 5 and 6, the said inlay bein(y also formed ivith a centrally 55- disposed and 1,@ter@lly extending, channel or -6o , -@e 21 'substanti,,tlly as shown and for gr th p o be p-re@ently set, forth. e P=sr tsot roperly retain the rouge and In p face-powder cornpacts 7 and 8 within the re60 spective compartments 5 and 6 of the device, ailld, furtherm6r6, when removing some 6f the portions of the com@acts by rubbing, to prevent some of the c6ntents or mi,xture of the one coriapact getting upon the other com65 pact, ancl thereby spoil the color thereof, a compact etaining moniber ot@ -ouard such EL!@ is shown more particularly inyigs.'I, 2 and 6 of the drawings is used in connection with the main body of the box or case, and espe@. cially with the dividing wall--member 4. 70 This retaining member consists, essentially, of a pair of side-"flanges 22 aiid 235 Which are connected with and extend in opposite directions from asupporting element or mein ber 24, s.,,id elemeiit or mernber 24 being suit- 76 ,tbly channeled, as at 25, so as to be fitted in frictional cont,,tet upon the upper edge o the said wall-riaember 4 as clearly illusttated in r4 i.g-. 2 of the drawings. The said side or giiard-flanges 22 and 23 are proferably of 80 the (,Yeneral margin,,tl configuration shown,- being provided with the are aped e portions 2f,, wliieh fti-e turned as at 2@@ so @Ls to avoid sharp possibility of cutting or teariii 85 the fingers, when in the act o s6me of the rolige or face-pow rom t e compacts witliin the compartmeiits 5 and 6 and held in place by said flange-s 22 ,tnd 23 which extend slightly over portions of the 90 respective compacts, substantially as indicated in Fi-. 1 of the drawings. Oth@r supporting melber , as 28 and 29, may be I provided, saicl meml:;@rs 28 ,t_nd 29 @extending at right @,,tngles, downwardly from the margi- 95 nal end-portions of the respective gu@,trdflinges. Thes6 members 28 and 29 prevent any possible tiltin(y of the retaining member or4tartd, when s@pported upon the upper ed of Ile wall-inember 4, but said members 100 28 anei 29 'are not ati I solutely n@cessary and they may be omitted, if desired.: When the lid or cover is closed down upon the @aain body of the powdei-box, the supportin-@ element or niember 24 tiid the chan;Tel or 105 (-roove 21 are brought into registrati@on as i.ndicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings, so that the closino, down of the lid or cover upon the main l@ody of the box or case will not be interfered with. 110 The objects and purposes as well: as the proper mani@ulation, of the device will be clearly understood from ttie foregoin-g- description of the invention, and frofti H;n inspection of the several fioures of the 1IL5 drawings, and an further doserip@ioti of the same is therefore deemed unnecessgry. Of course we are aware that some changes - may be made in the general trrano,,ements ancl combinations of the several devices and 120 Parts as well as ii@ the details of the construction of the said parts, without departing from the scope 6f the present invention as set forth in the foregoing specifica;tiofi, and as defined in the clauses of the @laims 125 which are appended thereto. I-fence we do not limit our invention to the exact a ments Lnd c6mbinations @of the said and parts as described in said specificaiion, nor do we confine ourselves to the exact de- 13o
