MEASJ'RING SCOOP.
Application filed June 1.3, 1925.
To fie/loin 'if amy concern.'
lle it known 'that l, rinfriion lVrLLiAM in a citizen oli the llnited States, reat ilwaubeeq county ot liiilwaukee and State olf lll `.onsiin have inrented new and use'lul improvements in Measuring qlcoops, oi which the 'following` is a speciliation My invention relates to improvements in incl suring scoops for plastic materials such, tor example7 as ice cream.
The object ot my invention is to provide means whereby the saine device can be used lor measuring' different quantities.
llore particularly stated, it is an object oiE my invention lo provide a measuring scoop for delivering quantities of icc cream lor individual use in aci'fordance with dit- 'lerent standard prices, ordinarily referred to as ogiand lOg/l helpings.
.ln the drawings:
Figure ll is a. side elevation ot iny iniproifed measuring` scoop as it appears in closed position preparatory to delivery of :i n s al'fiinuin quantity.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of the same, taken on line Q-2 oi Figure l, with dotted lines indicating the position of the parts when measuring` a minimum quantity ol' material.
Figure 3 is a .section-.il View drawn to the saine plane as Figure 2 and showingY the scoop spoons in open position.
Figure l is a sectional View drawn on line ll of Figure 2.
Like parts are identified by the same reference shari ers throughout the several riews.
Scoop segments or spoons l are each hinged at 2 to a suitable tubular headpiecc l iu'to which the tubular shank -lf is screwed. .f-i plunger 5 extends upwardly through the shank land headpiece 3 and at its upper end is provided with a bowl or bord-shaped ejector (i which is inet'erably detai'fhably mounted upon. the reouced upper extremity of the plunger 5 to which it is screwed and locked by the nut 7. rlhe portion 8 ol the plunger is preferably enlarged to vlit within the head piece 3.
The lower portion of the shank l is telescopingly mounted in a handle sleeve l liicli is pret'eiably provided with a knob 1l at its lower end. fi. spring,- 12 within the sleeve l() extends upwardly in the lower end ot the shank il and bears against the lower Serial No. 36,821.
end of the plunger 5, thereby tending to push the plunger and bowl 6 outwardly to ejecting position.
A cross pin 15, anchored in the plunger 5, extends through short slots 16 in the sides of the tubular shank l and also passes through longer slots 17 in the` handle 10, whereby, when the cross pin 15 is pulled downwardly toward the knob 11, it will lirst move the plunger downwardly until it engages the shank 4 at the lower ends of the slots 16. Thereupon, both the plunger 5 and the shank 4l may be drawn downwardly into the handle sleeve 1() in unison. The intermediate portions or the spoons l are supported from the handle sleeve by links 2O and therefore the continued downward movement of the cross pin will cause the spoons 1 to close about the bowl G while the bowl and the hinge connections 2 are movingl downwardly relatively to the handle sleeve 10. The lower ends of the links 20 are connected with the upper end ot the handle sleeve l0 by a collar 2l.
Collar Q1 is provided with projecting,l ears 23 to which the lower ends of the links 2O are pivoted and each of the links is similarly pivoted to an intermediate port-ion oit the associated spoon 1.
ln operation, the bowl (S and the spoons will be pressed downwardly into the material to be delivered while the spoons are in the open or spread position in which they are shown in Figure 3. Thereupon, the spoons will be closed about the'bowl by pulling the cross pin 15 in the direction oli' the knob 11. During this movement the spring 12 will be compressed vby the plunger 5 which, to- @ether with the shank 1l, will have a relatnr movement in the direction of the knob 11. Alfter the spoons have been closed about thev bowl to substantially the position in which they are shown in ,Figure l the device will be raised from the container and the ina terial engaged by the spoons, while closing` may then be ejected by releasing the cross pin 15` and allowing the spring 12 to push the bowl 6 upwardly and allow the spoons 1 to swing to the open position when the cross pin 15 engages the shank el at the upper ends orn the slots 16.
The quantity of material which will be engagged by these spoons 1, when closing about the bowl 6, will depend upon the relative position of the bowl while the spoons are being closed. The latter is adjnstably supportlllll lio . line position it is supported by the headpiece 3 and the curvature of the lower portion of each spoon is such that the spoon will substantially conform to and bear upon the outer surface ot the bowl when in the closed position.
lVhen the bowl 6 is adjusted to thedotted line position of Figure 2 it may be supported in that position from the shank et by a hook pivotally connected with the shank atZG and adapted in one position of adjustment to engage underneath the cross pin l5 as shown in Figure 3 and as also shown by dotted lines in Figure 2. When the hook is engaged with the cross pin l5 the downward movement of the latter in the slots 16 is limited by the hook. Therefore, as soon as the cross pin engages the hook, the plunger and shank a will commence to move downwardly in unison and the spoons l will be caused to close about the bowl with the lower portions ot the spoons spaced from the bowl at a sutlicient distance to measure the desired smaller quantity ot material to be held to the bowl by the spoons in a position to be delivered when the spoons are swung to the open position as above described, and the bowl moves to the ejecting position by recoil ot the spring 12.
