Abstract: A hatbox including sidewalls, a bottom, and a lid, a hat stand secured on the bottom in the hatbox formed by a top and joining sidewalls opening through the bottom of the hatbox defining a storage vault within the hatbox opening through the hatbox bottom, and a storage box having a bottom, sidewalls, and a lid adapted to be latched in place concealed in the storage vault and to be mounted in the hatbox on the hat stand for containing and concealing jewelry and the like when traveling with a hat stored in the hatbox and accessible when the storage box is mounted on the hat stand and the hatbox lid is opened.

Abstract: A container and closure assembly having a unique sealing surface to provide a reliable airtight seal. A generally cylindrical container having sidewalls and a base cooperably engages with a closure member by threading means. As the closure member is twisted to engage the threads of the container, an annular face of the container rim engages a complementarily configured annular recess in the closure member. Situated within the annular recess are disposed an array of interspaced, projecting rib members. As the flexible rib members are depressed against the annular face of the container rim, the ribs compress and fold over to create an effective airtight seal. A secondary seal is provided by an inner bevel forming part of the interior surface of the annular recess and a beveled surface of the annular rim of the container. The inner bevel facing and beveled surface of the container cooperably meet to form the additional airtight seal.

Abstract: An applicator brush handle with a self contained attachment cap for sealing a container, with the cap closing the container in air tight relation, when not in use, and with the handle extending upward from the cap, which handle and cap are molded integrally to eliminate assembly. The brush projects into the container when not in use, and the cap or cover may be readily removed, as by unscrewing, or the like, when it is desirable to use the material within the container, such as glue, cement, paint or other liquid to be coated onto a surface. Provision is made for molding the cap or cover integrally with the handle and with the portion to which the brush bristles are attached. Further provision is made to mold a socket in the stem to receive the brush bristles.
