PATENT OEEICE.A
MARK J. BENNETT, 0F B RADDOCKS, PENNSYLVANIA.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 135,260, dated January 28, 1873.
To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARK J. BENNETT, of Braddocks, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Molasses Jugs and Pitchers, of which the following is a specification: f
My invention relates to that class of molasses jugs or pitchers provided with an inner spout, an outer lip or ange to catch the drip, and a channel between the outer lip and inner spout, through which the drip can run back into the body of the jug or pitcher.
It has been usual heretofore to form the above-specitied parts, which, in conjunction with the lid or cover, form the top of the jug, of metal cast in one solid piece. This is objectionable on the score of both economy and durability, and, further, because the sirup is rought in contact with metals which are liable to corrode, and thus injure the quality of the sirup.
My invention consists' in providing the top of the glass or Vearthenware jug with a spout or mouth, a shoulder, and a notch or its equivalent, the said spout and shoulder bein gformed in one piece with and of the same material as the body of the jug. The spout is designed to permit the pouring of the Sirup; and the object of the shoulder is to form, in conjunction with the metal cap, a channel along which the drip can run back through the notch or its equivalent into the body of the jug.
In the drawing, Figure l is a side elevation of a jug made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the same.
A is the bod, of the jug, made of glass or earthenware. I ear its top it is formed with a neck, a, to receive the cylindrical part b ofthe A metal cap. Above the neck ct is an annular shoulder or ledge, c, and above the shoulder rises a spout or mouth, d. The parts A a c d are all ot glass or earthenware, as the case may be, and are molded in one piece. If the mouth or spout is cylindrical or tubular, as shown in full lines in the drawing, then at the rear or toward the handle of the jug I form a notch, e, through the mouth, just at the point where it rises from the shoulder c. If, however, the mouth or spout is formed, as it may be, following the dotted line f, then this formation will leave at the rear of the jug a passage or opening the equivalent of notch e. Above the cylindrical part b of the metal cap is an annular daring flange or lip, g, and at a point, h, on the back portion of this lip is hinged a cover, c, which fits down on the lip and over the spout d.. The shoulder c forms the bottom of a channel, along which the drip from the spout d will run until it reaches notch e, through which it will pass back into the body of the jug.
The jug, formed as above described, can be readily made of glass or earthenware, in iron, wooden, or plaster molds, or by hand, and will be much cheaper and better than those made entirely of metal or those having all-metal caps or tops.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent in a molasses jug or pitcher of the kind above described, is-
The formation of the glass or earthenware body of the jug or pitcher with a spout or mouth, a shoulder, and a notch or its equivalent, substantially as and for the purposes described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my nam e to this specification before two subscribing wit- UGSSBS.
MARK J. BENNETT.
