KITCHEN UTENSIL.
APPLICATION F|L ED JAN. 10, 1918 1,347, 1 1 2. Patented July 20, 1920 Ihven to)? it t orneys.
UNITED STATES LEO JPMERFELD, O13 CASCADE, IOWA.
KITCHEN UTENSIL.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Leo J. Merr am), a citi zen of the United States, residing at Cascade, in the county of Dubuque, State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen Utensils; 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 relates to dispensing, and more especially to detachable nozzles; and one object of the same is to provide a device ef this character which may be quickly applied to the edge of bucket or kettle so that the contents thereoi can be pourcc into a smaller receptacle.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character in which a plurality of strainers having meshes of different size mesh may be employed.
Referring to the drawings,
Figure l is a top plan view or" the device,
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view,
Fig. 3 is side elevation,
Fig. 4. is view showing the method of using the device, and,
Fig. 5 is a detail view of some of the at tachments which are used in connection with the device.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the device comprises a hopper-like body 5, preferably having the shape of an inverted frusto cone, from the smaller end of which projects a screw threaded flange 6, said flange being provided with a seat 7 on its lower end, Adapted for threaded engagement with said flange is a ring 8 which is provided with an annular flange 9 which is adapted to engage the seat of the flange 6 in a manner to be hereinafter described.
The upper end or mouth of the body 5 may be headed around its edge and throughout substantially half or a little more than half of said edge it is provided with an upstanding and slightly flaring flange or extended portion 12, and said extended portion 12 is held inplace by means of rivets or the like 13. Through the sides of the body at diametrically opposite points are a plurality of openings 15, and engaged in one of said openings at each side is a wire link or the like 16 to the upper end of which is pivotally secured a resilient clasp 17 Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 20, 1920.
Application filed January 10, 1918. Serial No. 211.211.
which is adapted to engage the top edge of a receptacle such as, a bucket or kettle 18 when the device is used for pouring material into a bottle, jar, or the like. By reference to Fig. 5, it will be seen that a plurality of strainers 20 are employed, the size-of the openings of the strainers 20 be ing of different dimensions. These strainers 20 are of a diameter equal to the inner diameter of the ring 8, and when one of said strainers 20 is placed within the ring 8 it is apparent that by securing said ring upon the flange 6, the strainer will be clamped between the seat 7 and the flange 9 of said ring. By this arrangement, any one of the strainers 20 may be positioned within the bottom of the hopper, or it desired an imperforate member 21 may be placed in the bottom of the hopper to pro vide a receptacle. However, it is not necessary that any strainer or attachement be used within the smaller end of the body, and in any case the latter constitutes a tapering hopper through which liquid can be poured from a pan, pail, bucket, kettle or the like having no nozzle, or perhaps only a slight pouring lip; and the housewife who has endeavored to empty preserves for instance, from a well filled kettle, will realize how difficult it is to do so without spilling the material because the kettle has no nozzle. The bends of the clasps stand in line with each other and in a plane through the links and through substantially the transverse diameter of the body, each link connects one leg of the clasp with one of the openings 15, and the other leg of the clasp can beslipped over the edge of the receptacle 18 as shown in Fig. This holds the device close up against the recep tacle, the latter passes over the beaded upper edge of the body at its inner-side, and the flange 12 around the outer side of said dge rises past the edge of the receptacle so that the material flowing from the latter strikes the flange and is by it directed downward through the body.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the present invention provides means by which kitchen utensils and the like may be quickly provided with a hopper through which their contents can be poured out, the material be ing strained simultaneously with the filling operation, and by means of the hopper being provided with a plurality or" perforations the links may be adjusted relative to the hopper, and that the device is capable of use with receptacles of various sizes.
Having thus described the invention, What is claimed, is:
The herein described kitchen utensil for use as set forth, the same comprising a body flaring from its lower to its upper. end, a flarlng flange rlsing above theupper end and extending substantially half Way around the same, links connected with the body at points substantially coincident With the ends of said flange, and spring clasps whose bends stand "in 'alinement and in a plane through-said links, each clasp having one leg connected with one of the links.
,In testimony whereof, I aflix my signa' tureinthe presence of two Witnesses.
. LEO J. MERFELD.
