MEASURING DEVICE.
Application filed February 29, 1912. Serial 1%.
10 ail whom "it may concern:
Be it known that I, MEREDITH CLARK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Garden City, in the county of Nassau and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Measuring Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improvement in that class of devices which are intended to be applied to the necks of bottles in order that the person using the same may pour from the bottle a measured quantity, the
. device being particularly adapted for use in vention applied thereto.
1n the opposite hospitals, sick rooms, kitchens and similar places. V
I am aware that it has been proposed to attach to the necks of bottles a dose measurer whereby the contents of the bottle may be poured into the measuring. device, and hence do not attempt to cover such broadly. But I believe that I- am the first to construct measuring device in such a 'way that the bottle may be tilted at one angle to pour the liquid from the bottle into the measure, or a spoon as I prefer to use it, and then tilt the bottle at another angle so as to discharge the contents of the measuring device or spoon, without necessarily cor-king the bottle.
Zllhe preferred embodiment of my invention consists of a clip to be secured to the neck of a bottle having a trough to deliver the liquid from the mouth of-the bottle to a spoon which is pivotally supported near the end of the trough, the spoon bein arranged at right angles to the trough, w ere by when the bottle is tiltedin one direction the liquid will pass from the mouth of the. bottle through the trough into the spoon, and when the bottle is tilted at right angles, the contents will be discharged from the spoon. V
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bottle having my in- Fig. 2 1s a side elevation of aneck of a bottle with my device applied to it, the bottle being tilted in the actof pouring the liquid into the spoon. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the part shown in Fig. 2, the bottle being tilted direction so as to pour the contents from the spoon.
Referring now to the details of the draw-' ings by numerals: 1 designates a spring clip which is formed in any desirable way but Specification of Letters Patent.
ter of this clip projects a 2 which is substantially in line with the upcate the amount necessary .the combination of a by the bottle may be tilted Patented na c, iota.
preferably so that it will spring over the neck of an ordinary bottle. From the censpout or trough per surface (it the mouth of the bottle, as illustrated best in Fig. 2. To the under side of the spout 'or trough 2 I form a bearing 3 into which is journaled a pin t, this pin being connected by a curved shaped member 5 with a measuring device such, for example, as the spoon 6. The construction is such that when the device is held in the position shown in Fig. 1, the spoon. will rest in a position so that the bowl of the spoon will be in the same plane with the mouth of the'bottle, but when the bottle is tilted to the position shown in Fig. 2, the spout will move with respect to the spoonso that the spoon will still maintains horizontal position but will be at an un le to the mouth of the bottle. The liquid 1n the bottle may be poured from the mouth of the the spoon, as illustrated in Fig. 9.. After the desired quantity is poured into the spoon, the bottle may be tilted at right angles to the position shown in Fig. 2 so that the contents of the spoon may be placed to the mouth of the user and the liquid easily swallowed or the'contents may be poured from the spoon into any desired receptacle.
My device is so simple that no, further description of its use is necessary but I wish it understood that changes may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention. For example, the spoon may be of any desired size and it a large spoon is used, lines may be impressed in the spoon as indicated in Fig. l to measure larger or smaller quantities. For example, if the spoon shown in Fig. 1 is a dessert spoon,, the dotted line 7 in said figure would indi-- t-o fill a teaspoon. What I claim as my invention is: 1. In a device of the :haracter described, measuring device, and means for securing it to the neck of a bottle, said device being pivoted to' said means, the pivot running substantially in'line with the length of the measuring device, whereatone angle to pour into the measuring device, and at another angle to empty the measuring device. 2. In a device of the character described, the combination of a spout, means for securing said spout to the neck of a bottle,
and a measure pivota'lly supported with relation to said spout, the length of the measure being at right angles to the length of the spout, whereby the bottle may be tilted at one angle to pour into the measuring device, and at another angle to empty the measuring device.
3. In a device of thecharacter described, the combination of a spout, a spring clip for securing the same to the neck of a bottle, and a spoon pivotally supported with respec't'to said spout, the pivot runningsub; stantially in line with the length of "the spoon, whereby the bottle may be tilted at one angle to pour into the spoon, and at another angle to empty the spoon. i
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature I in presence of two witnesses.
