Specification of Letters Patent. Patgntgd July 18, 192% Application filed March 25, 1.922. Serial No. 546,677.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that l, CHARLES H. HAnsELER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new andl lt further comprehendsj novel means for Sealing the valve spring so that it will not be subjected to the deleterious action of the condiment being dispensed.
Other novel features of construction and advantage will hereinafter more clearly appear in the detailed description.
For the purpose of illustrating my vinvention, 1 have shown in theA accompanying drawings a typical embodiment Athereof which is at present preferred by me, since it will give in practice satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood that the variousinstrumentalities of which my invention consists can be variously arranged and organized and that my invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities as herein shown and described.
Figure l represents, in sectional elevation, a condiment dispenser embodying my invention. l
Figure 2 represents a section on line 2-2 of Figure 3.
Figure 3 represents a bottom the cover in detached position.
Figure 4L represents atop plan view of the casing with the cover and valve mechanisml removed.
Figure 5 represents a bottom plan view of a cross bar employed. y
Figure 6 represents, in section, another embodiment of my invention.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Referring to the drawings.
1 designates the body portion or casing of plan view of al condiment dispenser, embodying my invention. The casing in proximity to its lower end is provided with a reduced neck 2, which merges into the outwardly flaring bottom portion 3.
' The casing is provided with a chamber 4L to receive the condiment to be dispensed.
easing 1 1s provided "The top wall of the with the recesses 5 which are adapted to receive the ends of the cross bar or valve stem guide 6, the end walls of such cross bar being shaped to conform to the recesses 5 and preferably being curved, as :is understood by reference to Figures l and 5 of the drawings.
The cross bar 6 is provided with the upwardly extending annular flange 7. The
lower portion of this flange 7 is of enlargedy bar 6 diameter, as indicated at 9. The cross has depending from it a boss 10 having a polygonally shaped aperture 8 and it is provided on its bottom with the ribs 11 which may or may not be arranged in parallelism,
as shown in Figure 5.
12 designates the cover, which preferably curves downwardly and outwardly, and then extends downwardly, and at its free endr is deflected upwardly, as indicated at 13 in order to secure in position the plate 14, which, as shown, is in the form of a disc having an aperture 15 of such dimensions that the disk will. closely engage the outer periphery of theenlargement 9.`
A portion of the metal of the plate 14 may be punched out -to form the down wardly and laterally extending locking tongues 16, which are preferably resilient, as the plate 14 is"preferably formed of spring metal, although it may be formed of other materials if desired.
17 v designates a valve which is provided with a conical seating' portion 18 whichengages the valve seat 19. The lupper face of the valve preferably inclines downwardly and outwardly, as indicated at 20. The valve 17 is provided with a threaded aper vture 21 which opens through its top but is closed at its bottom. `This threaded aperture 21 is adapted to receive the lower threaded end of the valve stem 22, which is polygonal in cross section and-is provided with a head 23 having depending therefrom the annular flange 24, into which-the flange 7 of the cross bar 6 is adapted to telescope.
The cover 12 is provided with an aperture 26 in which the flange 24 has a working t.
27 designates a spring which is concealed within the chamber flanges 8 and 24. The upper end of the valve stem 1s preferably recessed to receive an insert 30, which may have adefinite color or other mark so that it will be indicative of the condiment in the dispenser.
In devices of this character, certain of the condiments have a deleterious action on the. metal of which the dispensers are made and for this reason, I preferably coat the wall of which forms the base of the dispenser.
CIY
rIlhis material may be readily sprayed on the surface to be covered by means of an air brush, or if desired it may he mechanically applied in any desired manner.
I may also, if desired, apply to the outer wall of the casing a coating'29`-y which, may be off the same character as the inner` coating 28er may be different therefrom, ,l
The cross bar 6 may have a working fit in the recesses 5, or it may be loose therein, but in practice I prefer to have the cross bar 6 tit tightly in the recess 5.
The valve stem, as illustrated, is rectangular in tranverse section, and'hasv a working fit in the aperture 8 whichisalso rectangular in lcross section.
The manner in which the condiment dispenser is actuated will now be readily apparent and is as follows Assuming that it is tobe filledwith condiment, the cover is given a partial rotation to disengage the locking tongues 16 from the ribs ll, whereupon the cover can be removed and the chamber 4 filled with the desired character of condiment, such as `for example salt or pepper. The cover is then replaced on the casing and given a partial rotation, whereupon the locking tongues 16 will, pass over the ribs ll, and the cover will be se-` cured with respect to the cross. bar and to the casing.
Ihen the cover is in position, the open ings made by forming the tongues 16 will' be covered by the cross bar and thus prevent the passage of the condiment into the chamf ber between the plate la andlxthe cover l2 and also into the chamber within which is contained the spring 17.
If the cross bar 6 is not fixedto the casing, it will be apparent that the spring 27 will contribute to resiliently secure the cover to the casing. n
If at any time it is desiredto remove; the valve, all that it is necessary to do` is, to unscrew it from its valve stem, whereupon the valve stem and spring can be removed if desired.
formed between the If a threaded connection is made between the casing and the cover, the difficulty of impart-ing the proper finish. tothe outer wall of the casing is materially increased owing to the extra expense incurred in buffing and polishing the portion in proximity to the threads, and the cost of making the threads also incurs additional expense in the manufacture. The casing is preferably made by a die casting operation. After the plate llpisinserted into position, the lower portion of the cover is deflected upwardly, as at 13, in order to retain such plate 14 in assembled position `with respect to the cover.
When the user ydesires to obtain condiment from the dispensenlhe exerts the pressure of his thumb or finger on` the top of the valve head stem. 23 against the tension `of the spring 27, whereupon the valve 17 will be moved away fromits valve seat and the condiment will'pass from the dispenser in athin annular stream which diverges outwardly owing tothe contour of the valve and of the inner wall of the lower end of` the dispenser. y i
IV hen the pressure of the linger or thumbA of the` user on the valve head stem 23 is release-d, thespring 27 will effect the closing of the valve 17. v
`The condiment is effectively prevented from coming into, contact with the valve operating spring and if a5 coating is not employed the condimentwill have a dele-` terious action on the dispenser, so that after aplimited use it willhaveto be thrown away or replaced. l
My present.4 invention hasbeen found in practicev to give marked and advantageous results overprior `devices of this character with which II am familiar andl can, be advantageously employed in thefdispensing of any condiment or any other material in a comminuted condition'.`
It will be understoodV that the casing can be made of any desiredI material, and the `coating if employed isof such nature that it will render the casing impervious to` moisture. Such type of coa-ting will render a metal casing non-oxidizable as `well as impervious. to, moisture. In other words, the type of coating` employed is notaffeeted by the condiment or other material in the container.
It williiow be apparent that I have devised a novel and. useful constructionl of, a 120 condiment dispenser or container, which embodies the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in thestatement of the invention and, the above description, and while I have, inthe vpresent instance,v shewn and describedj a preferred embodiment thereof which will give in practice satisfactory and reliable results, it is. to be understood that this` embodiment is. susceptible of modification in various particulars without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Having thus described my invention, What claiin as neWan-d desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
l. A condiment dispenser comprising a casing having an open end, a cross bar carried at said open end, a cover, and a disc closing one end of said cover and having means to lock with said cross bar to secure the cover with respect thereto.
2. A condiment dispenser comprising a casing having a. discharge port at one end and its opposite end open, a cross bar loosely seated on said casing at its open end, a valve stern guided in said cross bar, a valve on said stem controlling said `discharge port, a cover through which said valve stein passes, a plate carried by said cover adapted to interlock 'with said cross bar and seal telescopic relationship With the cross bar 30 sleeve, and contributing with it to forni a chamber, a spring in said chamber, a cover through which the valve stein passes, a plate carried by said cover adapted to interlock with said cross bar and seal the open end of 35 said casing. and a valve for said valve stem controlling said discharge port.
