In that the rubber spiring is described as attached to the lid a little forward of the hingei and to pass through the fitted part of the lid tightly, a little back of the hinge, into the inner box, and through the inner end of that box, and to be attached to the closed end of the outer box, rhaking practically two working parts of the spring,-7--one working constantly between the movable and immovabie parts of the lid to raise the movable part whenever the inner box was drawn out past the cover of the outer box far enough so it oould be raised, and the other to return the inner box into the outer when freed. In the plaintiff's patent and Caussemille 's first addition, the spring passes wholly outside of the inner box, and the invention de- scribed in them is different from that described in the fifth addition.
