SOAP-POWDER DISPENSER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 22, 1917.
Application filed March 1, 1912. Serial No. 680,842.
. To all whom it may concern:
- ate the Be it known that I, FRANGIS C. OSBORN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Detroit, in the county of Wayne andState ofMichigan, have invented a new and useful Soap-Powder Dispenser, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to containers for soap-powders, tooth-powders and other materials of like character, whichare used in small quantities for toilet and other purposes; and its object is to provide a d1spensing device which can be operated by the hand that is to receive the contents; to provide a dispensing device which shall consist in part of the original package in which the powders dispensed are sold; and to provlde a dispensing device which shall be strong and simple in construction, which may be easily operated and which may be easily cleaned.
This invention consists in combination with an outer receptacle having a discharge opening in its bottom, of an inner container,
preferably the package in which the article to be dispensed is sold; in combination with means for so moving the inner contalner within the outer receptacle that a portion of the contents will be permitted to escape from the dispensing device.
In the accompanying drawingFlgure 1 1s a rear elevation of this improved dispenser secured to the faucet of a washstand. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1 on a larger scale. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of'Fig. 1.
Similar reference characters refer to llke parts throughout the several views.
Dispensers for soap-powders and l1qu1d soaps have become popular wlth the owners of hotels and other institutions having public wash-rooms for sanitary reasons, and because of the economy resulting from the saving of soap, which was so often stolen by those making use of the wash-rooms. These dispensers are usually constructed in such a manner as to require both hands, of the person desiring to use the contents, topperdevice. The present invention is embodied in a dispenser which may be operated by one hand, and with very little effort. A bracket 1 of any desirable construction connects to the body 2 of a faucet at its lower end, but this construction may bevaried as desired, and as circumstances require. At the upper end of the bracket isv connected a cylindrical receptacle 3 provided with a top 4, preferably removably secured to the body by means of the well known bayonet-joint 5. The body is formed with a slot 6 through which any desirable connecting devices, such as rivets 7 extend between the plates 8 and 9. The plate 9 within the container is bent so that its lower end 10 extends inwardly. The outer plate 8 has a fiat finger-piece 12, so that when a hand is placed underneath the bottom of/ the receptacle 3, as indicated in Fig. 2, the fingers.
may extend upward against this finger-piece 12 so that the plates 8 and 9 may be pushed upward while thepalm remains in position to receive the powder discharged from the dispenser. At the center of the bottom 13 of the receptacle, are a series of holes 14 and an upwardly extending stud 15, having a pointed knob 16 at its upper end, and a conical lower end 17.
The powders to be dispensed will preferably be sold in a package or container 18, having a cover 19, and whose inner head 20 is preferably conical. The head '20 is formed with a perforation over which is pasted a membrane, preferably a thin piece of paper 21, sufliciently strong to prevent the contents from escaping or breaking through.
When the top 4: is removed, the package 18 may be inserted and pressed down against the point 16, which will pierce the membrane 21, until the parts rest as shown in- Fig. 2, with the lower edge of the body 18 on the plate 10 and the tapering portion 17 of the stud 15 acting as a plug for the hole in the head 20. When it is desired to withdraw some of the contents, the hand is placed beneath the dispensing device with fingers engaging the plate 12, which plate is then pushed upward. The part 10 raises the receptacle so that the head 20 is lifted from the tapering portion 17 of the stud 15, whereupon the contents will run down through the opening in the head 20 and through the holes 14 into the hand underneath. A spring 23 may be secured to the top 4 to force the container 18 down if it should stick. i
The knob 16 is formed with a shoulder next the stem 15 so that when-the container 18 is lifted, this knob will pull any of the contents next to it through the hole in the head 20. The jarring caused by the up and down movement of the "container 18, keeps the contents loose. This is of importance as soap-powders are liable to cake and arch, which would prevent free discharge. When freely running powders are, in the container 18, the stud 15 and plug 17 may be omitted, as the opening i the head 20 will be closed by the bottom 13.
The construction of a dispenser for toothpowder willbe similar to that shown and described, but the size will be less. Talcum and other toilet powders may be similarly stored for use.
I claim.
1. In a dispenser, a receptacle having a discharge opening in its bottom and also having an opening in its upper end, a container mounted therein having a discharge opening in its bottom, said receptacle including a closure arran ed to normally close the last mentioned disc arge opening, manually operable means for elevating the container to a position. in which the closure no longer 1 closes the discharge opening in the container whereu on the contents of the latter are discharge through the opening in the bottom of the receptacle, the container being freely removable through the upper end of the receptacle without interference with the clo sure.
