DISPENSER FOR GRANULAR SUBSTANCES Filed April 12, 1940 .FIis-Z- ATTORNEY Patented Jan. 13, 1942 DISEENSEE FOR GRANULAR SUBSTANCES Joseph M. Jensen, Oakland, Calif., assignor to Andrew S. Vinzent, Oakland, Calif.
Application April 12, 1940, Serial No. 229,209
3 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in dispensers for granular substances, and more particularly to measuring means therefor.
Among the objects of the invention is to provide means for dispensing a predetermined quantity of granulated sugar, cofiee, soap, or the like from a manual dispenser.
Another object is to provide a sanitary dispenser for protecting sugar from contamination.
A further object is to adapt the invention to the conventional sugar pouring dispensers.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the description proceeds.
In this specification and the accompanying drawing the invention is disclosed in its preferred form. But it is to be understood that it is not limited to this form; because it may be embodied in modifications within the spirit of the invention as defined in the claims following the description.
In the one sheet of drawings:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a sugar dispenser constructed in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view from above of the same, with the cover removed.
In detail the construction illustrated in Fig. 1, comprises the conventional glass sugar container I, having the threaded upper end 2.
The measuring elements of the present invention are preferably composed of spun sheet metal or molded plastics, but they may be fabricated in any desirable manner.
The flange 3 of the cover 4 has internal threads to engage the portion 2.
This cover 4 has the shoulder 5 and the externally flanged center outlet at 6. The spout I has the outlet 8 and flares downwardly substantially the depth of the cover flange 3 and is beaded or clinched over the flanged outlet 6 at 9.
The funnel shaped partition Ii] is concentric with the outlet 8 and tapers to the restricted tubular opening at H. The annular flange l2 of the partition is clamped between the shoulder 5 and the mouth of the container I. This partition ID has a series of horizontal slots such as l3 interspaced around its perimeter.
The flaring measuring chamber l4 has the neck '5 extending upward through the opening II. The relation between the outlet from the neck I5 into the spout I is very important to the accuracy of the delivery from the calibrated chamber l4 through the outlet 8. This must be subsequent to the evacuation of the partition into the space IS in the cover.
The invention operates substantially as follows:
The cover 4 is removed by unscrewing at 3, the
sugar is poured into the container I, through the holes 13, until the container, the funnel shape partition I0 and the chamber l4 are full up to the flange l2. The cover 4 is then replaced and the dispenser is ready for service.
When the dispenser is inverted the sugar flows out of the funnel partition l0 into the chamber l6 within the cover 4, before it can escape from the measuring chamber 14. The delayed action, due to restriction and length of the neck l5, prevents the escape of the measured quantity of sugar in i4, until the dispenser is fully inverted. Then the sugar in the chamber l4 flows through the neck [5, into the spout l and is discharged through the opening 8. Accuracy in the measurement is due to the delayed escape from the chamber 14.
When the container l is inverted the chamber I6 is completely filled through the openings l3. Restoring the container l to normal causes the sugar to flow from the chamber 16 into the funnel-partition l0, completely refilling the measuring chamber l4, ready for a repetition of the dispensing operation.
By appropriate elongation of the flange 3 the whole measuring mechanism can be lifted above the top of the glass container. In which case the flange [2 should be attached to the cover 4 to be removed therewith in filling the container.
Having thus described this invention what is claimed and desired to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A dispenserin the class described comprising a container having a cover with an inwardly extending delivery spout; a measuring chamber having a tubular neck directed toward said spout; and a partition having an opening adjacent said cover and flaring outwardly from below the outlet from saidneck.
2. A dispenser in the class described comprising a container having a cover with a depending delivery spout; a partition having an opening adjacent said cover; and a measuring chamber having a tubular neck through said partition directed toward aid spout.
3. A dispenser in the class described, comprising acontainer having a tapered cover with an inwardly extending spout; an inwardly tapering partition spaced away from said spout and having a flange extending between the top of said container and the cover and having openings therethrough adjacent said flange; and a measuring chamber forming a continuation of said partition and having a restricted outlet therethrough alined with and below the inlet to said spout.
