Original application filed January 23, 1907, Serial N Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 4., 1912.

0. 353325. Divided and. this application filed October 10, 1908. Serial No. 457,157.

My invention relates to an lmprovementin hygienic chalices, which. forms a divisional application of my application filed January 23, 1907, bearing Serial No. 353,725, on hygienic communion chalices, the object being. to provide means for delivering a certain quantity of the liquid to the com-' municant when the chalice is tilted, and to provide a receptacle to receive the waste liquid which is not consumed by the person drinking from the chalice. The waste liquid is received in a receptacle, which discharges it, upon the tilting of the chalice,

into another receptacle, which prevents its return to the drinking edge of the cup.

The invention consists of many novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and more fully pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view; Fig. 2 is a top plan view with certain portions broken away to show the interior constructions; and Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the modified form.

A represents the chalice or cup, which is provided with a hollow leg 2, and formed at the base of the leg is a waste chamber 3. A flange 1 extends inwardly from the drinking edge of the cup. Connected to the lower edge of the flange are ribs or spokes 4, which are brought together at their lower ends. Spaces are formed between the spokes for the waste wine to pass through, and the ribs afford means for conducting the liquid from the flange downwardly.

A reservoir 5 is received within the cup or chalice and below the flange and ribs. The reservoir is provided with a hollow tubular extension 6, which is received in the leg 2 of the chalice and supports the reservoir within the chalice. so supported within the chalice that a space is formed between the reservoir and the chalice, and openings 7 are formed in the tubular extension to permit the waste liquid to pass from the chalice down into the waste The reservoir is chamber 3. An'outlet chamber 8 is received in the chalice and is supported abovethe ribs by a tube 9, which extends through the upper wall of the reservoir and through the lower ends of the'spokes. An inlet chamber 10 is received 1n the reservolr 5 and is connected to the outlet chamber by a tube 11, which engages the tube 9. The reservoir is provided with an opening 12,- which registers with an opening 13 formed in the flange 1. A tube le'extends through the opening 13 in the flange into the reservoir through the opening 12, and through this tube 14 a liquid is poured for filling the reservoir. An air vent tube 15 is connected to the tube 11 and extends up to the filling opening 12"forthe purpose of admitting air to the pipe 10 which conducts the liquid from the inlet chamber to the outlet chamber, and thereby preventing siphoning and discharging only a measured quantity of the liquid from the inlet chamber to the outlet. I

chamber. The outlet chamber 8 is provided with a cover 16, which is provided with an opening 17 to permit of the liquid passing from the outlet chamber onto the flange 1.

The top of the reservoir is hollow or approximately cup shape forming the drain pocket or chamber 18. I

In deliveringthe liquid from the reservoir to the outlet chamber the chalice or cup is tilted until the inlet chamber 10 receives a certain quantity of wine or liquid permitting a certain quantity of the liquid to pass from thereservoir into the outlet chamber, where it is dispensed onto the flange 1. When the chalice is brought to an upright position if any of the liquid which is passed from the outlet chamber onto the flange has not been consumed it will flow down the flange through the openings between the ribs or spokes into the drain pocket 18, the spokes assisting in conducting the liquid from the flange as they are slightly depressed from the lower edge of the flange. When the chalice is again tilted to permit of the liquid passing from the reservoir to the inlet chamber, and from the inlet chamber the openings 7 into the leg 2 and down into I the waste chamber 3.

In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the structure is the samewith. the exception that the ribs 4 are done away with and the outlet chamber 8 is seated upon the upper portion of the reservoir. .A ball valve 19 isformed inthe inlet chamber for vadmitting a certain quantity'of the liquid from the inlet chamber -to theoutletch'amber;

It is evident that more or less-i slight changes might be made in the form and arrangement of: the'several parts described Without departing. from theispiritiand scope oflmyrin-vention, and hence-I do not :Wishato i be: limited; to Ethe exact constructiomherein Having fully described my invention What I claim as new andxdesire i301 secure-by Letters Patent-is 1i A chalice comprising; an ;Ou't 1eti cham- 2Qrber, a reservoir connected: to the outletchamberwvhereby ,a measured quantity; of liquid willi be discharged into the outlet chamber-Whenthe reservoir; is tilted and then righted; and 1a drain'pocket'formed :bev-i 5-;tween itheqoutlet chamber and' reservoir.
