2 Claims.
Our invention relates to improvements in dispensing containers, yor servers, for use more particularly in serving condiments such as salad dressing, made mustard, and other relishes not :i adapted for pouring.
The invention is designed with the particular purpose in View of providing a simply constructed, inexpensive device of the character above identifled and which is equipped with a laterally extending pouring spout and manipulative means for ejecting small or large quantities of the contents of the container therefrom as desired.
Another object is to provide a device of the character and for the purpose above set forth adapted to be quickly and easily taken apart for cleaning purposes so that it may be readily kept in a sanitary condition.
To the accomplishment y'of the above, and subordinate objects presently appearing, a preferred 20 embodiment of our invention has been illustrated in the accompanying drawing, set forth in detail in the following description, and defined in the claims appended hereto.
In said drawing:-
Figure 1 is a view in vertical longitudinal section of a dispensing container embodying our improvements,
Figure 2 is a view in transverse section taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1 looking in the direc- 30 tion indicated by the arrows, and
Figure 3 is a view in top plan of the supporting bar for the screw shaft.
Describing the invention in detail, with reference to the drawing by numerals, the container 3 comprises a cylindrical receptacle I preferably of glass, having a lower outwardly ared end 2 forming a base and an upper externally threaded end 3. The upper end is closed by a closure member 4 including a spout 5 extending laterally and obliquely from the receptacle I and a skirt part 6 threaded onto said end 3. Interposed between the closure member 4 and said end 3 of the receptacle I is a supporting bar I extending diametrically of the receptacle I and having its opposite ends clamped against said end 3 by the member 4. The bar 'I supports a threaded shaft 8 extending therefrom axially of the receptacle I and terminating short of the end 2 of said recep- 50 tacle, said shaft having 'a bevelled upper end rotatably mounted in said bar and a wing nut I threaded onto the opposite end thereof against a shoulder II provided on said shaft. The shaft 8 has threaded thereon an externally threaded sleeve I2 adapted to be fed along said shaft by turning of the latter under manipulation of the wing nut I0.
Secured to the sleeve I2, centrally thereof, is a disk-like plunger, or piston, I3 of rubber or other exible resilient material, having a peripheral rim I 4 extending on both sides thereof and adapted to t snugly against the inner wall of the receptacle I and an axial aperture I through which the sleeve I2 extends. The plunger I3 is secured to the sleeve I2 by means of a pair of concavoconvex disks IB of thin resilient metal, such as aluminum, threaded onto said sleeve on opposite sides of the plunger I 3 in clamping relation to the latter and having their edges tted snugly against the inner side of the rim I4 whereby said rim is held against the inner wall of said receptacle. A lock nut I'I threaded onto one end of the sleeve I2 against one disk I'n serves to maintain said disks in clamping relation to said plunger.
The receptacle I is designed to be lled through the upper end 3 thereof, the closure being removable for such purposes. As will be manifest under rotation of the shaft 8 in the proper direction, the plunger I3 may be fed along said shaft to expel the contents of the receptacle through the spout 9 in large or small quantities as desired.
By screwing the disks toward each other the rim I4 of plunger I3 may be stretched against the inner wall of the receptacle I to retain the proper frictional engagement and take up Wear on said plunger. The device may be easily taken apart by removing the closure member 4, pulling the shaft 8 and parts carried thereby outl of the receptacle I, using the bar I as a handle, then detaching the wing nut Il?, running the sleeve I 2 together with the plunger I3 and disks I5 off said shaft and subsequently detaching the disks I6 from said plunger. As will be seen, under the procedure explained, all parts of the device may be quickly and easily disassembled for cleaning, replacement, or storing when desired.
The foregoing will, it is believed, suffice to impart a clear understanding of the construction and utility of our invention.
Manifestly the invention, as described, is susceptible of modification without departing from the inventive concept and right is herein reserved to such modifications as fall within the scope of the subjoined claims.
What we claim is:-
1. A dispensing container comprising a cylindrical receptacle having a closure member threaded onto one end thereof including a laterally extending spout, a cross bar clamped to said end of the receptacle diametrically thereof by said closure member, a screw shaft extending from said bar into the receptacle axially thereof and having an outwardly ared end rotatably mounted in said bar, and a wing nut on its opposite end for rotating the shaft, a disk-like plunger of resilient flexible material slidably fitting in said receptacle and axially apertured, and means connecting the plunger to the shaft for movement along the receptacle under rotation of the shaft comprising a sleeve threaded onto the shaft and extending through said aperture in the plunger, and a pair of concaVo-convex disks of resilient metal threaded onto the sleeve on opposite sides of the plunger, respectively, for adjustment relative to said sides thereof to clampingly engage the plunger therebetween.
2. A dispensing container comprising a cylindrical receptacle having a closure member threaded onto one end thereof including a laterally extending spout, a cross bar clamped to said end of the receptacle diametrically thereof by said closure member, a screw shaft extending from said bar into the receptacle axially thereof and having an outwardly flared end rotatably mounted'in said bar, and a wing nut on its opposite end for rotating the shaft, a disk-like plunger of resilient exible material slidably tting in said receptacle and axially apertured, and means connecting the plunger to the shaft for movement along the receptacle under rotation of the shaft comprising a sleeve threaded onto the shaft and extending through said aperture in the plunger, and a pair of concave-convex disks of resilient metal threaded onto the sleeve on opposite Sides of the plunger, respectively, for adjustment rela tive to said sides thereof to clampingly engage the plunger therebetween, said plunger having a peripheral rim extending on both sides thereof, and said disks fitting against said rim whereby under adjustment of the disks said rim may be stretched against the inner wall of the receptacle. 20
