PERFUME DISPENSER

PERFUME DISPENSER

Milton B. Seligman, Philadelphia, Pa.

Application July 9, 1949

The present invention has to do with a perfume dispenser and is concerned primarily with a dispenser that is made as the replica of a live figure.

At the present time, members of the female sex which comprise the large majority of the users of perfume are desirous of having the perfume available in a dispenser which presents an attractive appearance when exposed to view on a dressing table. Following this trend the present invention has in view as its foremost objective the provision of a perfume dispenser which takes the form of the representation of a live figure.

While it is possible and entirely practical to simulate almost any live figure in producing such a dispenser, the invention has particularly in mind the figure of a woman.

It is of course, necessary to provide a discharge opening together with a removable closure for the opening. Thus another object is to provide, in a perfume dispenser of the type indicated, a live figure having a mouth which is fashioned to constitute the discharge opening.

In providing a closure for the discharge opening, the invention proposes the use of an element which blends in with the figure; thus, with the dispenser taking the form of a woman, the closure for the discharge opening takes the form of a cigarette which is adapted to function as a plug for the discharge opening.
