MICHAEL J. A. KEANE,IOF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN MUSTACHE-GU ARDS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,797, dated July 11, 1876; application filed April 24, 1876.
.To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, MICHAEL J. A. KEANE,
of the city and State of New York, have invented an Improved Mustache-Protector, of which the following is a specification: Cups and mugs havebeen partially covered with a platevor septum made in one with the material of the cup or mug, and in this there has been an openingthrough which the liquid has been drank, but this vessel, so made, is ditficult to keep clean, and it is not adapted to tumblers and mugs for soda-water and other efl'ervescing liquids.
IVIustachc-protectors have been made of a detached segmental plate placed within the mouth of the vessel and held in place by spring-hooks. In this case the protector cannot he applied to a cup of a different diameter.
My improvement consists of a protectorplate, resting upon the top edge of the vessel, and having a rim or fingers that extend from its edge down outside the cup or tumbler, and spring-fingers to clamp against the inside of the vessel and hold it in place. By this construction the protector is adapted to the varying sizes of ordinary drinking-vessels.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a plan of the protector. Fig. 2 is a section of the same as 'applied to a cup, and Figs. 3 and 4 represent a modification of the device.
The plate a is of metal, hard rubber, or other suitable material, with a notch at b in one side. This plate a is of a size to cover one side of the month or upper end of the mug, tumbler, or cup, and to rest upon the rim thereof. There are spring-fingers or clamps c d that, pass down from the under side of the protector-plate. These are post 'the glass, as in Figs. 1 and 2, and the fingers d that come inside the vessel are made as sprlngs, or provided with a slide and clamp ing-screw to connect them to the plate and retain them in position, or they may be made in any other suitable manner, so as to hold the plate or protector to the cup or vessel, or a rubber spring may be used to draw the plate upon the edge of the cup, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 4.
This in ustache-protector is easily applied to or removed from a cap or other vessel, so as to be used as occasion requires.
I do not claim the device shown in Letters Patent No. 144,614.
I claim as my invention The mustache-protector, formed of a fiat plate, adapted to resting upon the edge of the drinking-vessel, having a rim or fingers extending from its edge down outside such vessel, and spring-fingers for clamping against the inside, to hold the protector in place, as
set forth.
