'LEOIOLI) BORNFREU'ND, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
SANITARY SUGAR nI-srENsnR.
Application filed January 14, 1924. Serial No. 685,988.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LEOPOLD BORNFREUND, a citizen of the Republic of Czechoslovakia, of New York, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Sugar Dispensers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in dispensing devices, more particularly for powdered or pulverized solids and with special reference to granulated sugar.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a portable apparatus, suited for use on a dining table by different persons and which contains the sugar in a dry condition, free from insects or other things in the air and fully protected against contamination of the hands or articles of personal use, as spoons.
Another purpose is to produce a sugar dispenser from which a definite measured quantity can be obtained without loss or difficulty.
A further aim is in the provision of a neat appearing sugar container that can be refilled as required and which is practicable and serviceable as well as ornamental.
These several objects are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof, and in which Figure 1 is a partial side view of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sec tional view of the dispenser head and its associated parts.
Referring to the drawing more in detail, the numeral 35 designates, in generaha container having the shape of a jar and being made preferably of transparent material, as glass the same being supported on a stand 36.
At one end the container is partially closed, an outstanding screw-threaded rim surrounding a relatively large filling opening, normally covered by a cap engaging the raised rim in a well known manner.
The opposite lower end 12 of the container presents a wall converging to a plurality of angularly out-turned screw-threaded openings 13 to which the heads 14 are tightly but removably engaged.
The lower portion of each head 14 contains a chamber 15 above which is an annu= lar passagelG open to themouth 13 of the container.
Said chamber 15 is normally closed by a cap 17 having a raised circular flange 18 containing bayonet joint slots 19 engageable with pins 20 set rigidly in the wall of the chamber, permitting the cap to be removed when desired, said cap flange being cut away at the front, as at 21, for a purpose further on apparent.
A headed stud 22 is fixed in the center of the cap 17 to extend inwardly and mounted on the stud is a U shaped bracket element 23, held against the head of the stud by a coiled compression spring 24:.
The raised portions 23 of the bracket serve as bearings for a spindle 25, operatmg in slots 26 in the wall of the chamber 15, one end of the spindle extending outward and having fixed to it a knurled knob 27 by which the spindle can be conveniently rotated by the fingers.
Mounted on the spindle 25, within the chamber 15 is a hollow sphere 28 cut away as at 29, and pressed against the seat 30 at the bottom of the passage 16, in which position, the sphere will be filled with the contents of the container, the spring 24 main taining the sphere against the seat in the manner of a valve.
Fixed in the wall of the chamber 13 is the larger end of a covered spout 31, the same extending angularly outward and passing through the cut out 21 of the flange cap.
The inner end of the spout is so positioned as to receive the contents of the sphere 28 when rotated by the knob 27 and deliver the same through its contracted opening 32 wherever it may be desired, as for instance a cup or like container held therebelow.
If the area of the sphere 28 equals that of an ordinary tea spoon it will be apparent that a single spoonful of sugar will be delivered through the spout at each operation of the knob 27, thereby accurately providing for any desired quantity, the sphere, when rotating through an angle of ninety degrees or a quarter turn of the knob, completely cutting off the flow of sugar.
While the foregoing is descriptive of a preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be understood that changes in the relative proportions, sizes and details of construction may be resorted to without confiicting with the general spirit and scope of the invention as indicated in the claim hereto appended.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a sugar dispenser of the class described, a container, angular outturned necks on said container, heads on said necks in communication with said container, each of said heads having a curved spout and a closing cap, a hollow sphere having a cut-away part forming a valve seat, a spindle within said head on which said sphere is mounted, a
stud in said cap, a U-shaped bracket element mounted on said stud, and constituting a bearing for said spindle, a coiled compression spring Wound about said stud for holding said sphere normally with its seat against the neck, and means for rotating said spindle to dispense a predetermined amount of sugar determined by the size of said sphere through said spout.
In witness whereof I have signed my name.
LEOPOLD BO RNFREUND.
