MEDICINE-DOSE MEASURE-R AND BOTTLE-STOPPER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 21, 1914.
Application filed July 18, 1912. Serial No. 710,130.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALEXANDER T. STEVEN- SON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Medicine- Dose Measurcrs and Bottle-Stoppers; and
I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention is a combined dose measurer and bottle stopper adapted to accurately a dose of medicine and to serve similar purposes.
The device is so constructed that if too great a quantity is inadvertently poured from the bottle, part may be returned to the bottle without emptying the measurer or removing it from the bottle, and without removing the cork or stopper from the measurer.
As is well known, the ordinary dose of liquid medicine is one dram or teaspoonful, so it is ordinarily necessary to have a teaspoon at hand to measure the dose. Many medicines are corrosive and attack the metal of which spoons are made, sometimes forming active poisons.
My improved measurer is preferably made of glass which is not corrodible, and is adapted to accurately measure and dispense any size dose, as a tea-, dessert-, or tablespoonful without removal from the bottle.
With the above and certain other objects in view which will appear later in the specification, my invention consists in the devices described and claimed and the equivalents thereof.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a bottle with my im proved measurer attached; Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the bottle tilted to deliver liquid to the measurer; Fig. 3 is a top plan view; and Fig. 4 is a view of the measurer detached, as seen from below in Fig. 1.
1 represents a medicine bottle, in the neck of which is inserted a perforated cork or its equivalent, through which is passed the branch 3 of the measurer. The tubular branch may be either straight as shown, or curved if desired.
4- is the body or flask of the measurer, and 5 is the neck which is provided with a cork or stopper 6. The flask 4 is bulb-shaped and when in place in the bottle is located above and to one side of the neck, as shown in Fig. 1. The lower part of the flask is preferably somewhat higher than the neck of the bottle to prevent sticky liquids remaining in the flask and obstructing it. The stoppered neck 5 of the flask projects diagonally upward ond outward.
WVhen the flask is in position to deliver its measured dose, as in Fig. 4, the lower part of the flask lies below the level of the tubular branch 3. This lower part is shown in Fig. e as overhanging so as to be adapted for use by a right-handed person. For left-handed persons the flask would be made left hand or it can, if desired, be shaped with both sides overhanging to suit both rightand left-handed persons. The body of the flask may be graduated as at a, b, c, to measure certain quantities of liquid, as for instance a teaspoonful, dessertspoonful, or tablespoonful.
In Fig. 2, the bottle and mcasurer are shown in position for measuring a dose, as say a teaspoonful. The bottle is tilted until suflicient liquid has flowed into the measurer to bring its level up to the proper graduation. The bottle is then restored nearly to its upright position, the cork 6 is then removed from the measurer, and the bottle is then tilted sidewisc to bring the flask into the position indicated in Fig. at. The measured dose is thus poured from the measurer. The bottle, however, is not tilted enough to allow any further contents of the bottle to flow into the measurer.
It may sometimes occur that a greater quantity than desired is inadvertently poured into the measurer. The surplus may be returned from the measurer to the bottle b bringing the bottle nearly to its upright position, and then slightly tilting the bottle, 71. e. to the left in Fig. 1, thereby pouring part of the contents of flask 4 back into the bottle. The bottle may again be tilted, as shown in Fig. 2, to deliver into the flask the exact quantity required.
bottom of the graduated bulb adapted to 10 be inserted in and form a closure for the bottle.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALEXANDER T. STEVENSON. Witnesses H. L. JOHNSON, L. KAssnBAUM.
I-Iaving described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A combined measurer and stopper for bottles, comprising a graduated bulb having a neck projecting diagonally upward and outward in substantially the same plane with the long axis of the bulb; and a downwardlyextending tubular branch connected to the Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the "Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D.
