CUSPIDOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 5, 1912.
Application filed May 8, 1912. Serial No. 695,953.
To all whom 'Lt may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN MLiNAR, citi- Zen of Austria-Hungary, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and Stat-e of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuspidors, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to improvements in cuspidors and has for its primary object to Aprovide a device of this character of simple and novel construction whereby the liability of upsetting the cuspidor and discharging its contents is entirely eliminated.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cuspidor consisting of a hollow body, an inner liquid receiving receptacle, and means for mounting the same in said body whereby the same will always retain its normal position with relation to said body.
A still further object of the invention resides in a cuspidor of improved construction whereby the various parts may be easily and quickly assembled or separated so that access can be had to the interior thereof for cleaning the liquid receptacle, thus conclueing to thorough sanitation in articles of this character.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of a cuspidor embodying the present invention; Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 1, the inner liquid receiving receptacle being shown in section.
Referring in detail to the drawing 5 desig` nates an outer substantially spherical casing or body which is preferably formed of sheet metal. The lower portion of the sides and the bottom of this body have soldered or otherwise secured thereto a solid metal weight member 6 which acts to normally maintain said body or casing in an upright position. This weight member is provided with a iiat face 7, the remaining face portion of said member being convex and gradually merging into and forming a continuation of the wall of the sheet metal body 5. The upper' end of this body is open, said open end being provided with a flared or shallow funnel-shaped entrance mouth 8, the greatest diameter of which is preferably slightly greater than the diameter' of the spherical body 5. The arms of a spider 9 are secured at their outer ends to the edge of the flared mouth S, said spider arms being radially extended from a central body plate in which a short staff 10 is secured, said staff extending in axial alinement with the body 5.
The outer casing or body member 5 of the cuspidor is formed in two sect-ions, the upper section carrying the flared mouth S and the lower section having secured thereto the above mentioned weight member 6. The upper and lower sections of the casing are provided at their opposed ends with internal and external screw threads respectively which are adapted to be co-engaged to removably secure the sections together. Upon the inner wall of each of said sections an annular rib o-r shoulder 11 is formed or secured in any preferred manner, and when the sections are connected, these ribs are engaged with each other. The engaging faces of said ribs are provided with recesses or grooves 12.
An annular ring 13 is arranged within the sectional body 5 and carries-the pivot studs 14 which are liXed to said ring at diametrically opposite points and are adapted to be received in the grooves 12 of the abutting shoulders 11 on the body sections. This ring is disposed in a horizontal plane within the body when the parts are in their normal positions and within the same the liquid receiving receptacle 15 is pivotally mounted, said receptacle carrying the pivot pins 16 which are disposed in openings at diametrically opposite points in the ring 13. The pivot pins on the receptacle extend at right angles with relation to the pivot pins 14 of the annular member or ring 13, and support the receptacle 15 for pivotal movement with respect to said ring. This liquid receiving receptacle is also provided with a lower weighted wall as indicated at 17, and has an inwardly extending inclined wall 18, the lower open end of which is disposed above the axis of said receptacle. This inclined direct-ing wall is of greater diameter at its point of connection to the peripheral wall of the receptacle than the diameter of the flared mouth S at its juncture with the wall of the body 5.
By means of the above described arrangement of parts, it will be readily seen that owing to the manner of mounting the liquid receiving receptacle 15 within the sectional body, said receptacle will at all times maintain its normal position, and the cuspidor may be tipped over upon its side without danger of evacuating the contents of the receptacle. 'Ihe extended edge of the flared mouth 8 and the stati' 9 render it impossible to completely upset or reverse the position of the cuspidor so that any liquid which may find its way into the space between the body and the inner receptacle will not be spilled. When the cuspidor body is tilted so that the axis of t-he annular member or ring 13 is obliquely disposed, the receptacle l5 still retains its normal position owing to the pivotal mounting of said receptacle in the member 13. lVhen the cuspidor is tilted in a plane in line with the axis of the receptacle 15, the annular member 13 in which said receptacle is mounted will then turn or rotate with respect to the body 5. It will thus be seen that in either direction of tilting movement of the cuspidor, the entrance mouth or opening of the receptacle l5 will still be disposed above its rotative axis.
From the foregoing it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be fully understood. Owing to the sectional construction of the body 5, the parts thereof may be readily assembled and thoroughly cleaned and the receptacle 15 removed and also cleaned. The receptacle is then replaced in position in the notches or the various parts, it will be understood that the invention is susceptible of considerable modification without departing from the essential feature or sacrificing any of theV advantages thereof.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed is In a device of the character described, the combination with a substantially spherical hollow body member, of a liquid receiving member pivotally mounted within said body member to maintain a normal position with respect to the body member, said body member having' a flared entrance mouth, a spider secured to the edgesof said -mouth, and a central stall rigidly secured to said spider to prevent the tilting movement of the body member to an inverse position.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aliix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. JOHN MLINAR. Iitnesses Jos. TETLAK, MIKE HUDAK.
