Application filed A ugust 27, 1924. .Serial no. 734,377.

To all whom it maycomem:

Be itknown that I-; A1-mnnw JANER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Flushing, county of Queens, city and State of New York, have invented certain new'and useful Improvements in Portable Perfuming Devices, of which the following is a specification, sufiicient to enable those Fig. 1;

skilled in the artto which the invention appertains to utilize the same.

11y improvements relate to the type of device for containing and dispensing liquid perfume by means of vehicular air impregnate therewith substantially as disclosed in my concurrent application Ser. No. 729,351, filed July 31st 1924, and likewise-are designed to afford a simple, compact, but effective contrivance for the purpose designated, adapted to be carried on the person, and in which provision is made .for regulating, during manipulation, the amount of perfume ejected in accordance with requirements, as well as for obviating Waste, etc., as therein and hereinafter set forth,--the invention in the present case relating more particularly to the specific means provided for utilizing the full capacity of the liquid perfume reservoir, and

for positively sealing the ejector nozzle when not required for use, whereby leakage may be effectually prevented irrespective of the positioning of the contrivance in inclination or reversed,--thus rendering my portable perfumer safe for transportation and use as an article to be disposed of in a vanity case, pocket, or otherwise as may be found most expedient or convenient for the I user.

In the accompanying drawings 1 illustrate a practical embodiment of the essential features of my invention in concrete arrangement, although I do not limitmyself to the identical form or construction of parts and appurtenances shown by way 01' exemplificatlon, since changes may be made in minor details, and equivalent mechanical expedients-resorted to, with like results, and without departing from the spirit and intent of my invention in this respect.

With this understanding Fig. 1, represents an elevation of my portable perfuming device as retracted and closed;

Fig. 2, is a central longitudinal sectional elevation of the device when closed as in Fig. 3, is a central longitudinal section thereof as expanded for use;

Fig. 4, is a transverse section of line 4-4 Fig. 2;

Fig. 5, is a like section illustrating a change in the relative positions of the caslng and the liquid containers 1g. 6, is a sectional view taken upon plane of line 6-6 F ig. 2, illustrating the eccentric co-relation of casing and reservoir 1n effecting the sealing of the ejector nozzle.

The said figures of the drawings, for convenience of observation of structure and arrangement of parts, represent my perfuming device as of approximately double the size as actually manufactured for individual use, although the size is not material.

The upper end of the tubular casing C, is formed with a flange, the inturned annular edge 0, of which is eccentric to the inner cylindrical surface of said casing. The lower extremity of said tubular casing C, is closed by a cap 0', formed with a central orifice or perforation 0 an annular upon plane Washer 0 being preferably interposed between said cap 0, and the adjacent edge of the tube C, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, of the drawings.

The reservoir R, for containing the liquid perfume P, is of a diameter to fitsnugly within the inturned eccentric annular flange c, of the casing C, and is closed at its lower extremity by a piston member 7 rigidly attached thereto, and fitting snugly within the casing C, and also preferably provided with a cup-leather or equivalent packing 1", to insure an airtight contactual engagement with the inner surface of the casing, especially during the depression of the reservoir as hereinafter set forth.

The coil spring S, is. interposed between the piston member r, and the cap 0', of the casing C, and tends constantly to press said piston member 9", and reservoir R, outward into the position shown in Fig. 3, with the upper circumferential edge of the iston member 7*, restingagainst the aforesaid annularflange 0, of the casing G, thereby limiting the outward thrust or movement of v the reservoir R.

The eccentric annular flange c, of the cas.-'

mg C, is formed with a port notch or openin c", for the accommodation of the pro tu erances e, which consists of the outer portion of the nozzle of the ejector tube a, which latter is positioned within the resermenses voir R, and extends at its other extremity approximately to the bottom of said reservoir. Adjacent to and extending above or beyond the'ejector nozzle 6, the ejector tube e, is bent into the form of a syphonic trap extending approximately to the upperv without overflow to the nozzle, this feature being a decided improvement over the form of ejector tube'shown in my aforesaid concurrent application Serial No. 729,351, in which the syphonic trap c is omitted, permitting an overflow to the nozzle e, if the liquid level extends above the latter.

Near the apex of its convex surface the syphon trap e is forlned with an inlet duct e communicating with the space thereabove in the reservoir, so that the forced discharge of liquid through the ejector pipe 6, will induct air from the reservoir prior to its ejection through the nozzle, thereby the discharge and prevents the spraying of drops of liquid perfume through said nozzle and not only thus economizing the perfume but also obviates saturation of parts to betreated therewith. o

An automatic-closing air inlet valve a, is mounted on the underside of the piston member 7', of the reservoir R, the valve chamber of which communicates with an air inlet stand pipe a, extending approximately to the upper extremity of the reservoir R, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, of the drawings, the upper end of said reservoir tube R, being closed by a cap K, which also functions as a finger rest for manipulative purposes. The cap K, is detachably connected to the tube R, to admit of the introduction of the liquid perfume P, into the reservoir R, and is preferably provided with a. packing disc in, or equivalent means of effecting an airtight joint between the parts when the said tube R, is closed.

When it is desired to retain the parts of the device in closed relationship, as in Figs. 1 and 2, of the drawings the protuberant portion of the nozzle e, on the reservoir it, is caused to enter the notch c", in the concentric annular flange a, of the casing (l, and the reservoir is then partially turned on its longitudinal axis so as to bring said protuberant portion of the nozzle e, under said flange 0, thereby lockin the reservoir with in the casing against ti expansion spring S, as shown more articularly in Fig. 2. Simultaneously with this interlocking of the arts, the partial rotating of the reservoir R, involved as just stated, owing to the eccentricity of the controlling flange c, seals the outer end of the e resistance of the nozzle 6, by reason of the contact therewith of the inner surface of the casing, the eccentricity of said flange c, as related to the inner cylindrical surface of the casing :C, being such that a quarter turn, more or less, of the reservoir R, on its longitudinal axis, or of the casing as related to the reservoir, is sufficient to seal the outlet of the nozzle, thereby preventing all possibility of leakage of liquid perfume irrespective of the position or inclination assumed by the device as thus closed upon itself, considered in a unitary sense;

in use, the device is grasped endwise between the thumb and finger, the parts being in the position shown in Fig. 3. If the air inlet 0 on the otherwise closed extremity of the casing C, is covered, the depression of the reservoir R, against the resistance of the spring S, will cause the piston to force the air within the casing C,

, through the valve a, and tube a, into the reservoir it, and thence through the liquid perfume P, the air thus impregnated with perfume being forced out. through the ejector pipe 6, and nozzle Q.

Obviously if the air inlet 0 is open during any portion of the inward thrust imparted to the reservoir R, the air in the casing C, will escape, in whole or in part, through said inlet t which thus becomes a means for regulatin and varying the volunin of impregnated air delivered to and through the nozzle 6. Thus the quantity of perfume ejected may be governed with accuracy according to preference of requirements, and the possibility of waste is thus eliminated.

M'y perfuming device may be operated when held in any position; and furthermore, only impregnated air can be ejected, thus obviating waste of liquid, and staining or saturation of cloth, etc., which it may be desired to treat.
