SUGAR CONTAINER.
Application lednl'anuary 3, 1927, Serial No. 158,656. Renewed November 14, 192B.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in 'sugar containers, and has for its primary object to provide. a co-ntainer of relatively small capacity so that the same may be readily lifted from place to place by diners and wherein the sugar may be readily displaced therefrom in amounts equivalent to a teaspoonful, or the like.
A further and important object is to provide a sugar container of this character wherein the flow of the sugar from the container is automatically cut off, and wherein means is provided for opening the flow of the sugar to a compartment that will receive asupply thereof,whicl1 supply will be deposited within the cup or elsewhere when the drawer moves to its normal position.
A still further and very important object is to provide a container of this character that is exceedingly simple of construction, inexpensive of manufacture, and one that may be readily disassembled for cleaning, repair, or'renewal purposes.
With the foregoing `and other objects in view as the nature of the invention will be better understood, the same comprising the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.
In the drawing wherein like reference characters idicate corresponding parts in both of the views:
Figure 1 is a detail vertical section of a sugar container constructed in accordance with the present invention, and
Figure 2 is a transverse section taken substantially upon the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Now having particular reference to the drawing my invention consists of a cylindrical container 5 of suitable capacity, and of a transparent material which is open at its opposite ends, and upon the upper open end of which is to be arranged a sliptype metallic lid 6. Said container is to be disposed within a circular metallic base 7 from the bottom wall 8 of which depends a skirt 9 in order that the container may be supported upon a table, counter, or other support. Said bottom wall 8 of the base T is formed at the front of the container with a square opening 10 to permit the material within the container to discharge therefrom. Formed within the skirt 9 of the base7 and projecting forwardly thereof is a drawer chamber 11, the forward end of the bottom Wall of which is formed with an outlet opening 12. Slidable within this chamber 11 is a drawer 13 formed centrally with a vertical partition 14 from the upper edge of which extends in a rearward direction a closure plate 15 movable within 60 top and bottom sides so that when the drawer is moved rearwardly a supply of the sugar will enter through the upper opening of the drawer and be caught therein, the material being prevented from discharging therefrom by reason of the bottom wall of the drawer 7o chamber covering the lower portion of the drawer. However, when the drawer is moved forwardly, the quantity of sugar trapped therein will discharge through the opening 12 in the chamber bottom Wall, at which time 75 the plate 15 will be in closed position for preventing any of the sugar entering the drawer rearward of the partition 14.
The base 7 is formed in opposed relation with the drawer chamber 11 with a vertical 80 strip 15 that tightly hugs the surface of the container 5 for bracing the same within said base. yFormed integrally with the strip 15 at its upper end and the base skirt 9 is a relatively U-shaped hollow handle 16 of cir- 85 cular formation in cross` section .so that the container may be readily lifted and moved from place to place so that the sugar may be deposited wherever desired. Pivoted within the upper portion of the handle 16 as at 17 90 is a relatively elongated bell crank lever 18 the longer arm of which depends through the vertical portion of the handle 16 and to the lower end of which is pivotally connected a rod 19 that is in turn pivotally connected at 95 its inner end to the rear end of the sliding drawer 13. Surrounding the rod 19 at its outer end is a retractile coil spring 20 attached at one end to the lower end of the bell crank 18 and at its opposite end to a pin 21 100 within the skirt of the base 7.
The upper arm of the bell crank 18 is formed at its end with a vertical extension projecting through an opening in the handle 16, said extension being equipped at its end with a thumb plate 22. Obviously, when this thumb plate 22 is depressed, said bell crank 18 will be swung upon its pivot to pull the drawer 13 in a rearward position within the chamber 11 so. that a supply of the sugar 110 will enter the forward end of the same ina manner previously described. As soon as the button is released, the spring will force the drawer to the position disclosed in the iigure so that the sugar may becdischarged.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is In a sugar dispenser, a container for the sugar open at its lower end, a base Within which the open end of the container is disposed, said base being formed with a sugar discharge opening, a drawer chamber within the base beneath the opening and having an opening in its bottom wall spaced from the opening in the base and off-set out of alinement therewith, a drawer open at its top and bottom, slidable Within the chamber and having a transverse partition formed therein intermediate its forward and rear ends, said i 4upper surface of the base so that sugar is prevented vfrom iowing. in the rear portion of the drawer when the drawer is moved outwardly todischarge the contents through the opening in the bottom wall of the drawer chamber and operating means for Sliding the drawer.
In testimony whereof I aHiX my signature.
BENJAMIN T. GUEST.
