JESSE (30l\l".`ft!li|f)`v SMITH, OI YORK, Y., ASSIGNOR TO INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A; CORFORATON' GF NEW YORK Application led March 18, 1931. Serial No. 583,400.
The object of the present inventionis to provide a compact, inexpensive and efficient dispensing device particularly adapted for dispensing bouillon and like liquids from an invertedy original jar. That is to say, the
container for the bouillon may be used as maintain the leakproof arrangement of the' 1,5 elements without the use of Washers or other soft members between the moving parts.
Other objects will hereinafter' appear.
rlhe invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawing in 2o which v Fig. 1 is a view in elevation Ashowing an embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on the line 2-2, Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section on the line 33, Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary vertical section on the line 4-4, Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged detailed vertical section through the jar-holding plate showing i' its outlet closed by the closure plate of the dispensing cup and the latter in position for discharge.
Referring to the drawing, it will be seen that the device comprises a flat base member i 1 to which are fastened the opposed metal standards 2, each formed at its upper end with the spaced supporting arms 2m. The standards may be riveted to the base member 4Q or formed integrally therewith. In the present embodiment, the standards are formed at their lower ends with flanges apertured to receive fastening screws 3 by means of which they are secured to the base member 1.
Removably mounted upon the standards 2 is a horizontal plate 4 which supports the dispensing mechanism and also the supply container for the material to be dispensed, as,
,50, for example, bouillon. To this end, holding plate 4' is provided at opposite ends with legs 4m each leg being formed with underlying vertical vrecesses so as to receive one of the arms 2x shown more particularly in Figs. 1 and 2. The plate 4 centrally thereof is pro'- vided with an upwardly extending annular flange .5' and the plate centrally of the flange is apertured as at 6L for the passa-geef material from the supply container.
Intermediate the aperture 6 and the inner wall of annular flange 5 means are provided for holding a closure member for the' supply container. ln the present embodiment, the horizontal wall of plate 4 at' such point is provided with spaced threaded apertures to receive screws 7 which have vsecured to the plate one of the ordinary lug caps 8 for the bouillon jarv 9. For example, a cap may be removed from'a jar and secured in position by means of the screws 7, and' there*- after the caps of successive jars may be discarded until the cap held by plate 4 requires replacing through wear, or, for any other real-v son. If desired, sealing rings 10 of yielding material may be placed below cap 8 when the latter is placed in position, although these rings are not essential. Depending from plate 4 and surrounding aperture 6 may be cast a flange 11 t'odeepen the aperture 6 and' to provide a convenient form of abutment for the dispensing cup. Flange 11 may' be of the same shape as the cup, either round or angular. In the presentv embodiment, the flange is angular to correspond with' the angular formation of the cup, as' shown in dotted lines, Fig. 2.
The dispensing cup is lopen at its top and bottom walls and is formedl with horizontal topt and bottom walls, the cupv being'4 indicated' at 12. In Figs; l and 2, it will be noted that the cup is carried at one end of an arm 13' having an operating handle 13x. Intermediate its length the arm is formed with an' apjerturedboss 14vtore'ceive a headed stud 15 which passes throughan aperture in plate 4 and whichv isthreaded to receive a nut 16. i
A spring 17 surrounds boss 14 one end of the spring engaging the arm` andl the opposite end engaging an abutment 1'!" depending from cap 4, the spring being normally under tension to hold the cup 12 in register with discharge opening 6. As seen more particularly in full lines, Figs. 3 and 5, and dotted' lines, Fig. 2, a closure plate 12m is carried adjacent the cup and having its top wall in line with the top Wall or the cup so that when operating handle 13m is moved to the left from its position shown in Fig. 2, in order to bring the cup to discharge position, closure plate 12 will close opening 6 as shown in Fig. 5. f
Underlying cup 12 isa spring pressed plate 19. Towardone end the plate is formed with opposed ears 19m, shown more particularly in full lines Fig. 4 and dotted lines, Fig. 2.
These ears embrace a small block 20 depending lfrom plate 4 and a pin 21 serves to pivotally connect the ears to said block. Rearwardly of the ears short plate spring 22 secured to the block by a screw 23engages t-he rear edge of the plate and tends to move the same upwardly. The spring pressure imposed upon plate 19 not only serves to seal the bottom of cup 12 against leakage but also tends to carry the top wall of the cup into leakproof engagement with lower walls of flange 11, so that the device may be employed to dispense liquid from container 9 j without leakage.
By references to Figs. 3 and 5, it will be noted that the cup is moved from closed position, Fig. 3, to discharge position, Fig. 5, without release of the cup from pressure I byrplate 19.
In order to insure quick discharge of the material from cup 12, the inner walls of the latter, or, one or more of them, may be bevelled, or outwardly flared, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. Plate 19 acts like a knife-blade to cut or scape oil' any material, particularly viscous material, from the base of the cup after the latter has performed its dispensing operation and the surplus material may be received in a shallow dish 24 carried b y base member 1 and preferably countersunk.
Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows :f
1. A dispensing apparatus particularly adapted for dispensing measured quantities of'liquid, lcomprising a frame having a base member and standards rising from the base member, a plate Jfor removably supporting in I reversed position a container for the materia-l to be dispensed, a dispensing cup open at top and bottom, a closure plate carried by and laterally of the cup and having its top surface in line with the upper wall of the cup, an
operating handle secured to the cup, means pivotally connecting the operating handle to .said plate, spring means for holding the cup normally in register with an aperture formed in the plate and for communication with said container, and a spring closure normally below the cup, said closure being held against 4. A dispensing apparatus particularly,
adapted for dispensing measured quantities of liquid, comprising supporting members formed as opposed standards each standard having upwardly projecting arms, a plate formed with sets of spaced recesses to receive said arms so that the plate is removably held by the latter, an upwardly extending flange formed on the plate, means within the flange for securing a receptacle in reversed position, a downwardly extending flange formed on the plate and bounding an aperture in the latter for the passage of material from the receptacle, a cup open at the top and bottom and in contact with said depending flange, a plate below the cup normally closing the latter, an arm carried by the cup pivotally mounted on the frame and an operating handle projecting from the arm intermediate two of said standard arms.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
