UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIQE.
DISPENSING-MEASURE FOR LIQUIDS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 28, 1921.
Application filed February 10, 1920. Serial No. 357,542.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MERL W. JONES, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Lyme, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Dispensing-h/Ieasures for Liquids, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to dispensing cans or measures for liquids and has for 1ts object the provision of a device of this character which is so constructed that liquid therein cannot be spilled out during ordinary handling, the device being particularly designed for use by garage keepers and others dispensing oil and the advantage of the device being that the oil contained therein will not be spilled out during carrying of the measure to an automobile or other place where it is to be emptied.
An important and more specific object is the provision of a device of this character which includes an inner receptacle adapted to contain oil or other liquid, and an outer receptacle connected therewith and spaced therefrom at its upper portion and extending above the upper end thereof whereby to form a reservoir for catching any liquid spilled out of the inner receptacle, the outer receptacle having a spout associated therewith so that when the device is tilted to pour out the contents, the liquid in both receptacles will be discharged.
With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device,
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view, and
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 10 designates the main or inner receptacle which is preferably cylindrical in shape and which may have any desired capacity. This receptacle is open at its top.
Disposed about the receptacle 10 is an outer receptacle 11 of inverted frusto-conical shape and which has its lower or smaller end 12 secured to the receptacle 10 intermediate the ends of the latter and which has its upper or larger end 13 spaced outwardly of and disposed above the top of the receptacle 10. This provides a reservoir or chamber 14 between the receptacles 10 and 11. The upper edge of the receptacle 11 is provided with an inwardly extending flange 15 and has also formed thereon an upwardly extending hood which covers substantially one half of its top. The receptacle 11 is provided with a discharge spout 17 adjacent the hood 16. A suitable handle 18 is disposed at a point diametrically opposite the spout 17 and is secured at one end to the receptacle 10 and at its other end to the receptacle 11.
In the use of the device the oil or other liquid dispensed is poured into the inner receptacle 10. In the event that the device is joggled or tilted, any of the contents of the inner receptacle which slops or spills over the top thereof, will be caught in the receptacle 14 between the inner and outer receptacles and will thereby be prevented from spilling onto the ground or floor or other adjacent objects. lVhen it is desired to pour out the contents of the device this is accomplished by tilting the same with the spout 17 disposed downwardly whereupon the contents of the inner receptacle 10 will flow out of the open end thereof and be caught by the hood 16 and be thereby directed into the spout 17. At the same time any of the contents caught in the reservoir 14 will also pass out through the spout 17.
From the foregoing description and a study of the drawing it will be apparent that I have thus provided a simply constructed device for dispensing liquids, which is so constructed as to prevent spilling of the contents, and which will therefore be not only economical in preventing waste but will also be advantageous in preventing damage to floors and the like caused by such spilling.
lVhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is of course to be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form, construction, and arrangement of parts as will not ClQPiIIiJfI'OIH the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
A device of the character described comprising an inner receptacle, a surrounding member of inverted frusto-conical shape disposed about said inner receptacle and secured thereto at its lower edge intermediate the ends of the inner receptacle, said surrounding member defining with said inner receptacle an annular reservoir chamber, the upper edge of the surrounding member extending above the top of the inner receptacle and terminating in an inwardly directed flange, a hood extending across a portion of communicating With said annular reservoir chamber. g
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
MERL W.JONES.
