Sept. 28, 1937. M. R. MILARCH 2,094,179 LEVELER FOR BAKING POWDER cans v Filed Feb. 3, 1936 m/z/s/w'aa M. R. MWARCH Patented Sept. 28, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIE LEVELER FOR BAKING POWDER CANS Max B. Milarch, Portland, Oreg.
Application February 3, 1936, Serial No. 62,063
4 Claims.
This invention relates generally to baking powder cans, and particularly to a leveler for spoons used in taking powder from the cans.
The main object of this invention is the provision of an exceedingly simple and inexpensive leveler for baking powder cans and to construct same in a manner that they will be simple to manufacture and easy to install in any of the existing types of baking powder cans without in any way altering the can or detracting from its usefulness.
The second object is the construction of a leveler in which the leveling edge is rigidly held at both ends and in which the position of the.
leveler can be shifted to suit the convenience of the user.
I accomplish these and other objects in the manner set forth in the following specification as illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a plan of the device.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a baking powder can with a portion thereof broken away to disclose the leveler which is also in section.
Similar numbers of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several Views.
Referring in detail to the drawing, there is illustrated a baking powder can IQ of the type which is in common use, and which in this case is provided with a bead ll forming a shoulder l2 on the inside of the can. In some cans this shoulder 12 is on the outside and on others it is not present at all and has no special bearing on this invention.
Referring particularly to the device itself, same will be seen to consist of a cylindrical band l3 of spring metal having a straight intermediate portion M which constitutes the leveler. The entire device assumes the shape of a circular letter 8 which is adapted to fit snugly on the inside of a can It. The straight portion M is inclined with relation to the axis of the can Iii for the purpose of making same more nearly normal to the edge l5 of the spoon it by means of which baking powder I! is being withdrawn from the can l0.
It is desirable to curve the portion [4 slightly for the purpose of increasing its rigidity and insuring that the edge l8 be a straight line since any departure from this line in either plane will cause a corresponding error in the leveling action of the device.
Obviously, the principle employed in this device is similar to that which is used by an ordinary table knife operating as a leveler for baking powder spoons. However, from a practical standpoint, it is desirable that the leveler be always with the can and that it be adaptable to any can of a given size and that its leveling action be positive and accurate at all times.
Attempts have been made to provide paper closures which could be torn along a straight line and a part thereof removed using the remaining part as a leveler. This, however, required the closure to be built into the can. But the more serious objection resides in the fact that the paper edge itself would never remain in the intersection of two planes, that is, with the curve up or down causing either a concave or convex action to take place.
In View of existing devices, I am not claiming levelers for baking powder cans broadly, but I do intend to cover all such forms and modifications thereof which fall fairly within the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A leveler for baking powder cans consisting of an S-shaped band of spring material com- 30 prising a large and a small are forming parts of a complete circle and a straight connecting bar joining the opposite ends of the two arcs.
2. The device described in claim 1 characterized by having said bar inclined with relation to the axis of the can in which the device is used.
3. The device described in claim 1 characterized by having said bar straight between its ends and arcuate in transverse cross section.
4. The device described in claim 1 characterized by having said transverse bar straight between its ends, arcuate in transverse cross sec tion and inclined with relation to the longitudinal axis of the can in which the device is used,
said bar being disposed at one side of the longitudinal axis of the can and having its length normal thereto.
MAX R. MILARCH.
