Specification of Letters Eatent.
Patented Dec. 31, EH8.
Application filed June 8, 1818. Serial No. 23%,918.
Be it known that I, Lnonnms L. 'llrr'rnn, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Funnels, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to packaging liquids, and more especially to funnels, and the object of the same is to make a tunnel in the form of a measuring cup having a spout and to provide means for holding the cup superposed above a support so that the spout or nozzle will not touch the same.
Another object is to provide means for measuring the liquid within the cup.
Another object is to provide means for closing the spout or nozzle, and opening it at will. Y 7
Another ob ect is to provide means for leaving the spout or nozzle open when desired, so that the device becomes an ordinary funnel.
Yet other objects will appear in the following specification. Attention is invited to the drawings wherein:
Figure l is a perspective view of'this de-' vice complete and Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings the numeral 1 designates a cup having a pouring lip 2 at its front side 7 and a handle 3 at its rear side, and this cup is stamped with lines a with numerals marked adjacent, so as to indicate the contents by the liquid level within the cup.
The numeral 5 designates legs depending from the bottom of the cup so as to hold it raised-above a support such as a table top. The numeral 6 designates a spout or nozzle opening through the bottom of the cup and shorter than the legs, so that the latter will hold the tip of the spout 0d the table. Within the upper end of the spout is a valve 7 from which a rod or stem 8 is led radially along the bottom of the cup and then carried upwardly through guides 9, 10, and 11.
A ring-shaped handle at its upper end is indicated at 12, the same standing in position to receive the thumb of the operators hand which gras athe handle 3. Around the rod is coile an expansive spring 13 standing beneath, the uppermost guide 11 and above a pin 14 through the rod and normally pressing the latter downward so as to close the valve upon the seat which is at the upper end of the spout. When it is desired to leave the spout open, or .in other words, when it is desired to put the valve temporarily out or use, the ring 12 is drawn upward and turned slightly and thrown aside and the valve '7 is carried to another point over the. bottom of the cup, then by releasing the ring, the spring throws the releasable element downward and the valve is borne onto the cup bottom and remains there. The device now becomes an ordinary funnel, but the valve can be again put into use at any time by swinging it back. The parts are by preference entirely of metal, and the exact size and shape may be left to the manufacturer.
The foregoing description and the drawings have reference to what may be considered the preferred, or approved, form of my invention. It is to be understood that l may make such changes in construction and arrangement and combination of parts, materials, dimensions, et cetera, as may prove expedient and fall within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
In a device of the character described, the combination witha cup having a cylindrical body and a flat bottom, and a spout opening through the center of said bottom; of guides superposed above each other within the wall of the body, a rod slidably mounted through saidrguides and havin its lower-end bent horizontally over the ottom of the cup, a valve carried by the extremity of said bent end and adapted to rest on the spout and close the same or to be turned aside and rest on the bottom, a ring at the upper end ofthe rod, and a spring bearing the rod normally downward.
In testimony whereof/I afix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
