TALC'UM-POWDER BOX.

Application filed December 17, 1921'. Serial No. 522,004.

My invention relates in general to sifter top containers, and more particularly to containers adapted for the packaging of talcum powder and like material.

A principal object of the invention is the provision of means for tightly closing such a container in such manner as to prevent, 1n peculiarly efiective manner, the leaking of the contents when the parts are in closed relation. 7

A further object of the invention is the pro vision of indirect outlet passages for the powder so arranged as to facilitate removal of the powder for use while at the same time providing the effective closing means above referred to.

Still another object of the invention is. the

provision of a talcum powder container of simple and inexpensive construction, possessin-g the advantages of a non-leaking closure and an efficient outlet for the contentsand all the parts being capable of formation through conventional mechanical operations.

Numerous other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent as it 1s better understood from the followlng description,

which, taken in connection with the accom panying drawings, discloses a preferred embodiment thereof.

Referring to the drawings,

Figure 1 is an elevational view of a container in which myinvention is embodied;

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the cap;

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the container top with the cap removed;

Fig. 4; is an enlarged section taken vertically through a portion of the top and cap; and

Fig. 5 is a vertical section through the top and cap, said parts being shown in separated relation.

'Upon the drawings which illustrate the in.-

vention, the reference numeral 11 indicates the body of a talcum powder box, which in the present instance, is of oval formation and has secured thereto a cover 12 by means of a seam 13 of any preferred form. A sifter top 15 is provided with a central depression 16 in which are perforations 17 spaced as desired. Radial channels 18 are provided in the outer raised portion '19 of the top, these channels,

as will be noted by reference to Fig. 3, beingeach preferably forations 17 A cap 21 is adapted to fit over the top 15 aligned with'one of the perand has an inwardly turned flange 22 formed to frictionally engage the neck 23 of said top in such manner as to permit rotation of the cap. Said cap is provided with a central depressed portion 24'corresponding to the depressed portion. 16 of the top and adapted to be seated therein, and has downwardly opening radial. channels 25 adapted to form in-- Ward continuatlons of the channels 18 when the cap is in ing is impossible even withfinely powdered contents.

It is thought that the invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may-be made in. the form, construction and arrangement of the parts Without departing from the. spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of its material advantages,the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.
