q A x (W 77 Patented Mar. 30, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ANTIDRIPPING DEVICE William J. K. Mackay, El Dorado, Calif. I Application March 16, 1936, Serial No. 69,293
2 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in antidripping devices for containers and more particularly for syrup jugs and the like for dispensing or pouring viscous or tenacious liquids,
5 wherein a substantially cylindrical lip upon the spout of said container operates in conjunction with a cup pivotally and coaxially suspended from said cylindrical lip and having a wipin edge arranged to move circumferentially of said lip to wipe drippings of viscous or tenacious liquids therefrom and to normally assume aninverted or draining position above said spout to drain said drippings thereinto.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved anti-dripping device for containers pouring viscous liquids, such, for instance, as syrup jugs and the like.
Another object is to provide a new and improved device of the character set forth which may be readily operated from the handle of the jug or container.
Another object is to provide improved and simplified means for normally retaining a dripcatching cup in an inverted or draining position above the spout of a container, whereby drippings of viscous or tenacious fluids may be drained from said cup back into said container.
A further object is to provide a new and improved anti-dripping device of the type specified that may be economically produced and easily operated and having a maximum efiioiency.
I accomplish these and other objects by means of the preferred form of the device disclosed in the drawing forming a part of the present application, and in which Fig. l is a broken side elevation, partly in section, disclosing my improved device, the dripcatching position being indicated in full lines and the draining or normal inverted position being disclosed in dotted lines;
Fig. 2 is a broken plan View disclosing the normal or draining position in full lines, and the opposite position of the operating bars or rack being disclosed in dotted lines;
Fig. 3 is a broken detail View, partly in section, disclosing the substantially cylindrical lip on the spout and the wiping edge of the cup, the normal or draining position being shown in full lines and the drip-catching position being disclosed in dotted lines; and
Fig. 4 is a broken front elevation of Fig. 3.
Referring to the drawing:
The numeral I is used to designate any suitable container or jug, for viscous or other liquids,
provided with the usual handle 2 and spout 3.
The spout 3, in the present invention, is provided with a substantially cylindrical lip 4 at each end of which is projected a coaxial pin or trunnion 6.
A cup I is pivotally suspended, by means of suitable hangers 8, from the pins 6 and has a wiping edge 9 arranged to wipe the lip 4 when said cup 7 is moved upon its axis and circumferentially around the cylindrical lip 4 to an inverted or draining position above the spout 3 as disclosed in full lines in Fig. 3 of the drawing.
A pinion H is mounted upon the end of each cup-supporting hanger 6 and rotatably upon the pinions 6 and coaXially with the cylindrical lip 4. A pair of bars l2, connected at one end as at M, is provided with toothed or rack portions it at the opposite ends, said bars l2 lying on opposite sides of the jug or container l. The rack portions it of said bars I2 are held in engaging relation with the pinions il by means of the usual saddles H. The connected ends of the bar I2 is pivotally connected to a suitable operating lever in turn pivotally mounted preferably upon the top of the handle 2 of the container or jug I. A suitable spring I9 has one end connected to the container l and the other end thereof connected to the operating lever IB and operates to normally actuate said operating lever l8, bars l2 and, by means of the rack portions [6, the pinions II to move the cup 1 circumferentially around the cylindrical lip 4 from a pendent position below said lip to the normal inverted draining position above the spout 3, as disclosed in full lines in Fig. 3 of the drawing.
In operation:
As above described, the tension of the spring l9 normally moves the operating lever l8, bars [2, pinions H and the cup I to inverted draining position above the spout 3 and retains said cup I in such position, as disclosed in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and full lines in Fig. 3 of the drawing. In this draining position the cup 1 fits into a suitable aperture or opening 2| within a suitable cover 22 of the jug or container I for the purpose of keeping said jug closed or covered to prevent the entrance of flies or other insects and other foreign matter.
When it is desired to dispense a portion of the contents of said jug or container I, such as syrup or other fluid of high viscosity, the operator grasps the handle 2 in the usual manner and with his thumb or in any other suitable manner depresses the operating lever l8 from the dotted to the full line position disclosed in Fig. l of the drawing.
This motion will move the bars l2 against the tension of the spring l9 and cause the rack portions l6 thereon to rotate the pinions II and move the cup 1 from closed or inverted draining 5 position above the spout 3 to an open or dripcatching position below said spout, as disclosed in full lines in Fig. 1 of the drawing. The spout 3 is then open and an unobstructed flow of contents may be poured from said spout.
10 After the required quantity of syrup or other viscous liquid has been poured from the spout 3 and the jug or container is returned to a nonpouring position, any drippings from the lip 4 of the spout 3 will drip into the suspended cup 1 15 below said spout 3 and lip 4 thereon and thereby be prevented from dropping onto a tablecloth or other support upon which the jug may be placed, or upon the front of the jug itself.
If the operating lever I8 is now released, the
tension of the spring I 9 will actuate the said lever l8 and thereby move the bars l2, racks l6, pin ions H and the cup l with its wiping edge 9 circumferentially around the cylindrical lip 4 and Wipe superfluous or remaining liquid therefrom until said cup 1 assumes its normal inverted draining position above the spout 3 from which position the contents of said cup "I as well as the matter gathered by the Wiping edge 9 will be drained into the interior of the spout 3 and from 30 thence into the interior of the jug itself. Such draining will continue as long as the cup I remains in such inverted draining position until a portion of the contents of the jar is again required when the above described pouring operation is repeated. In other words, the cup 1 with its wiping edge 9 is normally held by the tension of the spring 59 and correlated parts, in a closed or inverted draining position over the spout 3.
It should be noted that the details of construction are so susceptible to variation that I do not wish to confine myself to the precise details shown and described, but rather to avail myself of any modifications that may fall properly within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention I claim- 1. An anti-dripping device comprising a container having a handle and also provided with a spout having a substantially cylindrical lip thereon; a cup pivotally suspended coaxially with said cylindrical lip and having a wiping edge movable circumferentially of said lip with said cup to wipe drippings from said lip and to drain said drippings into the interior of said spout; pinions mounted upon said cup and coaxially with said lip; an operating lever pivotally mounted'upon the handle of the container; and a toothed rack engaging said pinionsand operatively connected: to said lever to move said cup and wiping edge thereon around said lip.
2. An anti-dripping device comprising a container having a handle and also having a' spout provided with a substantially cylindrical lip; a cup pivotally suspended coaxially with said lip and having a wiping edge in contact with said lip, said cup and lip being movable circumferentially of said lip to wipe drippings therefrom and to drain the same into the interior of said spout when said cup is moved to a draining position above it; pinions mounted upon said cup and coaxially with said lip; an operating lever mounted upon the handle of said cup; a toothed rack WILLIAM J. K. MACKAY.
