DISPENSING-BIN.
Specification of Letters Batent. P t te o 24, 1
Application filed. August 13, 1912. Serial No. 714,933.
To all whom it may concern i T Be it known that I,*LUTHER .B. THOMAS,
signed to dispense material in measured quantities, the dispensing means being simple in construction, easily adjustable for holding different 'quantities, and having means combined therewith for preventing material from choking the apparatus and interfering with the proper operation of the arts. p \Vith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter de scribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred forms of the invention have been shown.
In said drawings :--Figure 1 is a section through the lower portion of the device, the
adjustable slide or measuring device being,
shown partly in section and partly in elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the segment shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section on line A-B Fig. l.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates the main receptacle.
of the bin, the same being formed with a hopper-like bottom 2, theoutlet opening 3 of which discharges into a series of parallel channels 4 preferably of different widths as shown in Fig. 3, and which are separated by partitions 5,these channels being preferably of the same length as the width of the receptacle 1 and being closed at their tops except where the openings 3 are located.
Extending downwardly from the bottoms of the channels and adjacent the front ends 1 thereof is an outlet chute or spout 6 having a reduced discharge opening .7 through Which material will pass after being delivered to the spout. 6 fromany one of the.
channels i. 1 1 j j i Slidably mounted in each of the channels 1 4 is a measuring element consistingof side walls 8 connected at their rear ends by a box-like portion or follower 9 having an opening 10 in its back end. A coiled spring 11 is secured at one end to the back wall of each channel and extends loosely through the corresponding opening 10, the other end of the spring being secured to the inner surface of the front end of the follower. This 1 spring 11 serves to retract the follower and element is extended forwardly beyond the front of the receptacle as indicated at 21 and a lever 22 can be fulcrumed in this extension so as to extend upwardly therefrom. A rod 23 is arranged in the extension and 1s plvotally connected to the lever 22 and to the adjustable. block 24 whichcan. be hollow and fits against the side walls 8.
This block also extends throughout the depth of the measuring element. The upper end of the lever has ahandle 25 and a spring pressed dog26, said dog being adapted to engage a toothed segment 27 mounted on the extension 21. Thus it will be seenthat by disengaging the dog from the segment, lever 22 can be swung about its fulcrum so as to move the block 21 toward or from the follower 9. WVhen the dogis in engagement As shown in Fig. 2 a graduated surface.
29 may be arranged along one side ofthe segment, the graduations registering with the teeth of the segment. These graduations can be utilized to designate both the amount of material which will be ejected, and the price tobe charged therefor. 1
What is claimed is:-
A dispensing apparatus of the class de scribed including a receptacle, a channel thereunder, said receptacle discharging into the channel, an outlet spout communicating with the channel, a measuring device slidably mounted in each channel, said device including side walls, a follower connected to the walls at their rear ends, a block slidably mounted between the walls, a handle pivot-ally connected to and adapted to slide the device, means operated by the handle for adjusting the block toward or from the follower, and means for locking the handle against movement relative to the device.
