Patented `lune 21, 1932 JOHNV RIGBY, or NEW nnnroran, MASSACHUSETTS Y i NozzL Application mea January 2s, i932.' sriai No'. Scania This invention relates to nozzles, and more particularly to an improved nozzle construction which can be readily mounted on any type of container such as cardboard or the 5 like so as to facilitate the pouring of the dry material within the container.

An object of this invention is to provide an improved nozzle construction which embodies features whereby it may be readily mounted on any container of a cardboard, heavypaper or material of flexible construction so that the material in the form of powder or granular particles may be readily poured out of the container without undue spilling thereof.

Another object of this invention is to provide a device of this kind which is so constructed that it will prevent the contents of the container from becoming dirty after it has once been opened.

The above and various other objects and advantages of this invention will in part be described in and in part be understood from the following detailed description of the present preferred embodiment, the same being illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a detail perspective view of a device constructed according to the preferred embodiment of this invention mounted on a box or container which is shown in fragn mentary formi; l v

Figure 2 is a vertical section taken substantially through'the center of the device and showing the box in fragmentary sectional form;

Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the device.

Referring to the drawing wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter C designates generally a container of conventional construction such as cardboard, heavy paper or other relatively flexible material which is adapted to receive a material in powdered or granular form.

At the present time, when it is desired to remove the loose material from the container C, a hole is formed in the container or the entire top is loosened and the material poured out therefrom. Through thisl procedure, however, a quantity offdirt or the like'i'sp'e'rf' mitted to'en'ter thecontainer" and it is in orderV to prevent the contents of the container C yfrom becoming contaminated by dirt1V or' thelike that have provided a'pouring noz? zleygenerally designated asv N, which comprisesan L- shaped base plate 10 having one' leg 11 thereof disposedalong the outer vertical side of the container C` and the other' leg 12- disposed on the top of the container C.V The opposite ends'- of the base plate' 10 are preferably turned over, as at'fll, so a'sto provide a blunt edge and thisI turned over portion 14 is also bent outwardly'a slightdegreeI so a's to facilitate the positioning and removal of the deviceon the container VCL` The nozzle N is of tapering construction? and is disposed onan obtuse angle to 'theuppe'r' o leg 1-2lof theV base 10v and the lleg 12 is pro=l vided with anfopening 13 therethrough coin-l mun-icating withthe nozzle 10;V` rIhe contain-'f er C may be'provided with-an openingoiv-- hole-15 which can be cutthrou'gh` the' upper wall thereof by any suitable means and theV pouring means herein disclosed is`- thenY dislposed over this openingl and thewidth'of the plateforl'eglQ -is such as to ext-end be?` youd the margirial edges of the opening 15.V "A spring or clamping member'l has one endlthere'of secured ,tothe base plate berf1-2 vand the oppositeend thereof isl free and extends toward-the free end ofthe base* plateniembler 12 and if .desiredl mayfw eizft'en'dv beyond the free edge thereofa'sshoWn in Figures '2" and 3. This clamping'mefnber provides means whereby' the base 'late-'12 may be ,held in a position overlying t "e operi?" ing 15 in the container C. The front or Vvertical plate member 11 is provided with an inwardly extending tang 17 which is formed with the returned edgeportion 14 and eX- tends in a direction parallel to the upper plate member 12. This tang 17 is adapted to pierce the side wall of the container C and when so disposed will prevent upward movement of the front portion of the plate 10 so that the nozzle N will not drop off of the container C as it is tilted to pour the material out through the nozzle. As shown in Figure 2, the clamp or spring member 16 engages the lower surface of the top of the container C and clamps the base plate member 12 against vertical movement relative to the top of the container but permits lateral move ment thereof in the event it is desired to remove the device from the container.

In the use of this device, the container C may be provided with a hole or opening 15 in the top thereof at any desired point along the top and the free end portion of the spring 16 may then be inserted in this opening. 15

and the device moved in a horizontal direction so that the frontplate member .11 `Will c lie against the side Wallof the container C. In this position, the securing tangl 17 Will pierce the front or side Wall of the container C and the device yWill then be firmly held against relativemovement on the container which can be reverted to pour the material out through the opening 15 and the nozzle N. It is, ofcourse, understood that various changes andmodiications may be made in the'details of construction and design of the above specifically described and embodimentof this invention Without departing from the spirit thereof, such changes and modifications being restricted only by the scope of the following claims. What isclaimed isz- 1. A pouring means adapted to removably engage about the corner of two angular related face portions of a receptacle comprising an L-shaped base plate, upturned end portions formed with each free end of said plate, a nozzle secured to one leg of said plate, and clamping means carried by one plate and engaging one Wallof the receptacle on the inner face thereof to hold the plate against lateral movement relative to said one Wall.

2. A pouring means comprising a base plate .of substantially L-shaped construction, a nozzle secured to one legof said plate, upturned end portions formed with eachlegof said plate, a resilient clamp carried by one leg and adapted to resiliently clamp one Wall of the container between'said one leg and the clamp, and means carried by Y theV other leg cooperating With .said clamp toV removably secure the plate on the container. c In testimony ywhereof I hereunto afx my signature.

JOHN RIGBY.
