2,123,131 common Eugene w. Kahn, New York, N. Y. Y Application November 14, 1935, semi No. 49,655
1 Claim. (01. 221- 19 This invention relates to containers and the like and particularly to containers of the dispensing variety. 7
One object of the invention is to provide a noncollapsibie container for shaving cream, tooth paste and cosmetics from which the contents may be easilyprojected without distortion of the tube.
Another object is to provide a sanitary and attractive dispensing device for cosmetics and the like.
A further object is to provide means within the container for projecting the contents and which means are operatedfrom the outside of the container.
Still a further object is to provide a combination rigid container and dispensing device for shaving cream, tooth paste, cosmetics and the like, of simple, practical and compact construct on.
The above and other objects may be carried out by fitting a plate or. a disc within the container of any, desired shape. This disc supports the contents of the container and is reciprocably mounted therein so that it may be advanced towards the aperture or nozzle of the container, thus forcing the inaterial within the container to any height desired. The device may be operated by any convenient means, for instance, by reciproeating the disc on a central screw-threaded or use. Consequently, it never found its way to a lady's dressing table, but had to'be hidden away in a drawer or a cabinet out of sight.
Furthermore, the collapsible container heretofore used had to have a round or oval cross-section, since a tube of any other cross-section would hardly submit to the ordinary squeezing operation or, if it did, considerable waste of the ma- .te'rial which it contained would be the result;
These obstacles have been overcome by the present invention which may be made from any suitable material, pliable or non-pliable, such as tin, aluminum, glass, porcelain and wood, and may be molded into different designs embodying a round, rectangular, triangular or anyj'other crosssection.
By giving the tube or container a cross-section other than the conventional round or oval one,
the material from which it is made may be thinner and lighter, since the walls will support each other and maintain the rigidity of the tube. Thus the production cost may be reduced.
The collapsible or pliable characteristic of the device heretofore known made the use of .a lead compound practically necessary. The presence of lead often affected the contents which in turn infected the tissues with which it came into contact.
The rigid characteristic of the present invention eliminates the necessity of using a lead compound.
The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the following detailed description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the inventive concept.
In the drawing: Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a nonreflllable container embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of a refillable container.
Figure 3 is a cross section along the line A-A of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a topplan view showing a part of the container in cross section.
Figure 5 ista bottom view of the device illustrated in either Figure 1 or Figure 2.
Figure 6 is a top plan view of a container embodying my invention having a triangular crosssection.
Throughout the drawing, the same numbers indicate the same or corresponding parts.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, i0 is the body portion of the tube or containe -II is the nozzle having an aperture l2 (shown in Figs. 4 and 6).
The nozzle may be plain or threaded and covered with an ordinary cap l3 or a screw cap ll as shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
The bottom l5 of the body portion may be flat or concave as shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively, and may be pressed into contact with the sidewalls in the usual manner forming a depending circumferential bead l6 serving as a support as shown in Figure 1, or molded. in one. piece therewith as in Figure 2.
A screw-threaded plunger l'l extends from the nozzle ll through the body portion Ill. The nonthreaded portion it penetrates the bottom IS.
The portion penetrating the bottom maybe reduced in order to secure a more stable connection.
A wing-nut I! or some similar'member is attached to the non-threaded. portionll of the screw-threaded plunger [1 and whereby the latter may be rotated. v
A disc or a plate 20 is fitted snugly within the container and carried by the screw-threaded plunger H. The disc may be provided with a collar 2| in order to re-enforce the connection.
saucer-shaped as shown in the drawing in order to facilitate insertion and present a greater resistance to the contents. Thus, when .the disc is pressed against the contents, the force will tend to straighten it out establishing a snug fit whereby seepage between the edges of the disc is prevented. By virtue of this construction, the disc may be stamped from relatively thin and light material, whereby the weight of the device may be kept at a minimum.
In the modification shown in Figure 1, a slightly compressed spring 23 is situated within a housing 24 attached to the bottom l5. One end of this spring rests loosely in the housing whereas the other end is attached to the portion ii of the screw-threaded plunger l'l. When the wing-nut I9 is rotated in the direction which would tend to further compress the springs. the latter will rotate with it; On the other hand, when the wing-nut is turned in the opposite direction, the spring will expand and prevent further rotation. Thus the disc 20 may be made to move only in a direction towards the aperture, which characteristic adds to the nonrefillable feature of this container.
In the modification illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawing, the cover portion 25 is removable, which feature may be accomplished, for instance,
by providingthe top of the body portion and the serving to keep the disc from rotating "may be pletely covered by the bead IE or fitted within the concave bottom shown in Figure 2 so that the container may stand in an upright position like any ordinary rec'eptacle without the wing-nut showing. v
The aperture i3 may be of any desired shape, but is preferably triangular in order to maintain the rigidity of the material after it has been projected. It is obvious that a triangular shape would give the projected material greater support and it would not bend and fall-oil! the nozzle. Thus a small amount of shaving cream may first be projected outside the aperture and .then the brush may be used to take it off. This operation does not require more manipulation than the conventional collapsible tube.
. It is manifest that many variations of the above features may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
A combination container and dispenser for shaving cream, salves, and the like, comprising, a body portionhaving side walls, a bottom and a top, said top being substantially flat on the inner side thereof and having a nozzle substantially in the center thereof, a shallow cone-shaped disc of flexible material transversely fitted in said body, the apex of said disc being on the lower side relative tosaid top and nozzle, the outer edge of said disc being slidably engaged with the inner side of said walls, said disc being reciprocable longitudinally in said body, and engageable with said top for ejecting substantially all of the contents thereof, threaded means in the center of said disc, and a threaded rod extending through said disc and threadedly engaged with said means, said rod extending longitudinally along the axis of said body, means on the lowerend of vsaid rod and extending externally of said body through the bottom thereof for manually rotating said rod to move said disc.
