Description
July 17, s VARGAS DISPENSING DEVICE Filed Nov. 21, 1955 INVENTOR SYIJU'E EST R fLRGAS BY A RNEYS.
Patented July 17, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in dispensing devices and has particular reference to-a device for dispensing tooth-powder.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a receptacle wherein a quantity of toothpowder may bepositioned, from which said powder may be dispensed directly to a toothbrush.
A further object is to produce a device wherein the act of dispensing the powder will keep the same agitated, thereby assuring a ready flow of powder to the brush.
A still further object is to produce a device which is simple to'construct, economical to manufacture, and neat in appearance.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my device, as the same would appear in use,
Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical cross section of my device,
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line 3--3 of Fig. 2,
Fig. 4 is a vertical cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3, and
Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
In dispensing tooth powder it has been common to seal the same in small metal cans, from which a small portion is shaken upon a toothbrush, and
in many instances a larger portion of the powder is lost than finally arrives upon the brush. Applicant has devised a dispensing apparatus whereby a fairly good size quantity of powder may be stored in a receptacle and dispensed on the toothbrush as desired.
In the accompanying drawing, the numeral 5 designates a wire support having a tray 6. Secured to this support is a receptacle cap '7, it being understood that the receptacle 8 is upsidedown. Mounted on the cap 7 and extending into the receptacle is a channel-shaped support 9. The low end of this support extends through an opening 11 and has a chute 12 formed upon the lower end thereof. Pivoted to the upper end of this support 9 is an agitator comprising a pair of arms 13 and 14 pivoted as at 16 and having a cross piece 17 which forms a gate to close the opening 11. A spring 18 tends to normally keep the parts in the position of Fig. 4, that is, with the gate 17 closing the opening 11. A wire 19 is attached to the upper ends'oi' the arms 13 and 14 (see Fig. 2), which wire extends through the cover 7 and terminates in a loop 21 directly above the tray 6.
The result or this construction is that when a toothbrush is placed upon the loop 21 as illustrated in Fig. 1 and downward pressure is exerted as indicated by the arrow of Fig. 1, the result will be that the wire 19 will be pulled downwardly thus exerting a pressure against the tension of the spring 16 causing the arms 13 and 14 to swing to the dotted line position of Fig. 4, thus permitting powder to flow through the opening 11 and to be directed by the chute 12 to the bristles of the brush. As soon as the pressure is removed from the brush the spring 16 will return the parts to the full line position of Fig. 4, thus cutting off the flowof powder. At the same time it will be noted that the movement of the arms 13 and 14, together with the gate 17, will serve to agitate the powder within the receptacle, thus feeding it toward the opening 11.
It is herein understood that the tray 6 may be readily made of porcelain, glass or casting, and can likewise be made highly ornamental and attractive.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:-
1. In a device of the character described, a receptacle, a cover secured to said receptacle, said cover having an opening formed therethrough, a support positioned in said receptacle, a chute secured to said cover at a point outside of-said receptacle and in close proximity to said opening, an agitator mounted in said receptacle, a closure element secured to said agitator and capable of closing said opening in said cover, said agitator being pivotally secured to said support, a loop suspended beneath said chute, a wire extending from said loop and pivotally connected to said agitator, whereby movement of said loop will effect a-dispensing of a portion of the contents of said receptacle through saidopening.
2. In a device of the character described, a receptacle, a cover secured to said receptacle, said cover having an opening formed therethrough, a support positioned in said receptacle, a chute secured to said cover at a point outside of said receptacle and in close proximity to said opening, an agitator mounted in said receptacle, a closure element secured to said agitator and capable of closing said opening in said cover, said agitator being pivotally secured to said support, a loop suspended beneath said chute, a wire extending from said loop and pivotally connected to said agitator, whereby movement of said loop will effect a dispensing of a portion of the contents of said receptacle'through said opening, and means for supporting said receptacle in inverted position above a tray.
SYLVESTER VARGAS.
