Aug. 30, 1949. n J. RABBrrT A f 2,480306 POWDER DISPENSING DEVICE Filed Jan. 50, 1945 In uefztar fozfauzw@ Patented Aug. 3o, 1949 John Rabbitt, New York, N. Y.
Application January 30, 1945, Serial No. 575,282
This invention relates to a dispensing' device, and more particularly to such a device adapted for the dispensing of pulverized or granular substances, such as salt, sugar, medicinal powders, or other similar substances.`
A primary object of this invention is the prof vision of such a dispensing device provided with auxiliary apertures therein, whereby the powder contained in the device may be dispensed readily in the event that the normal pouring apertures or openings are clogged by moisture or dampness.4
A further object of the invention is the provision of such a device having closure means for said auxiliary openings in order to protect the same when their use in not necessary.
Still another object of the invention is Athe provision of such a device which will be sturdy and durable in construction, reliable and eicient in operation, and relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble. l
Further objects reside'in the combinations of elements,'arrangements` of parts, features of construction, all as will be more fully pointed out hereinafter and disclosed in the accompanying drawings, wherein there is shown a preferred embodiment of this inventive concept.
In the drawings: g y
Figure V1 is a side elevation view of one form of device embodying this inventive concept, the auxiliary openings being shown exposed.
Figure 2 is a longitudinalsection taken through the center of the'. device shown in Figure 1, or
4 claims. (ci. 222-189) substantially along the line 2-2 of Figure 5, as
viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line 3 3 of Figure 1, as viewed in the -direction indicated by the arrows.
Figure 4 is a tail, and
Figure 5 is a top plan view of the device.
Similar reference characters refer to similar partsthroughout the several views of the drawings.
Having reference now to the drawings, the device of the instant invention is comprised of a receptacle generally indicated at I0, and of cylindrical configuration, provided with an inwardly offset threaded flange member I I forming a shoulder I2, on which shoulder is adapted to rest the lower edge I3 of a top or cover menber I4, the interior of the lower portion of the member I4 being threaded to coact with the threads on the flange II, to provide a completed container wherein the top and bottom sections plan view of a. constructional deare substantially ush.
The cover member I4 is provided at its upper extremity with a plurality of perforations I5, adapted to serve as the normal pouring or dispensing opening for the device. An interior partition I6 similarly provided with a plurality of openings or apertures I'I is positioned in the top I4 below the upper extremity thereof.
Extending through the .side wall of the top I4 at a point below the partition I6 are a plurality of secondary pouring openings or apertures I8. The cover I4 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves I9 positioned adjacent and below the secondary pouring openings I8.
Seated in the grooves I9 is a circular closure member 20, provided on its interior face with ridges 2| adapted to coact with the grooves I9.
From the foregoing, the method of operation of the device should now be readily understandable. The band 20 is normally rotated in such manner as to cover the openings I8, and the device utilized in the manner of a conventional salt shaker or the like, the substance contained therein being dispensed through the openings I1 and I5. 1When, however, the openings in the top of the device become clogged, the band 20 maybe rotated until the secondary pouring openings I8 are exposed, and the salt or other substance contained therein readily poured out through these secondary openings. 'I'he plate I6 and the cover member 20 serve normally to preclude the clogging of these secondary openings such as might be occasioned by moisture or dampness or the like.
Obviously, the device may be lled by separating the threaded members I0 and I4.
From the foregoing it will now be seen that there is herein provided a device accomplishing all the-objects of this vinvention and others includingv many advantages of great practical utility and commercial importance.
As many embodiments may be made of this inventive concept. and as many modiiications may be made of the embodiment hereinbefore shown and described, it isto be understood that all matter herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
I claim: t
1. A dispensing device for solid, comminuted material including a lcontainer having an open end, a closure cap for said open end, primary dispensing means` in the end of said closure, secondary dispensing means in the side of said closure, a shielding means rotatably embracing said closure and said secondary dispensing means, said shielding means and said closure having a cooperating annular rib and groove fastening means. said shield consisting of an arcuate strip having the adjacent ends spaced to provide a dispensing opening.
2. 'I'he combination of claim 1 wherein said fastening means comprises a laterally extending rib on the inner surface of said shielding means and an annular groove on the side wall of said container.
3. The combination of claim 2 including a perforated partition in said closure cap disposed in termediate the ends thereof and between said primary and secondary dispensing means.
4. The combination of claim 3 wherein said container is provided with a reduced, externally threaded upper neck portion, said closure being an internally threaded sleeve engaging said neck,
the outer surface of said closure and said container forming a continuous cylindrical surface.
