A further object of the invention is the provision of means in the bover toi'sprinme or pour the condiment asdesired.
'An additional object of"the-.invention -.-is the provision of means for locking the cover relative to the base-topreventdisplacement of these elements one from the other and to hold "the :icartridgesiinan-operativeposition.
.rA' further objectof the invention is the ruse of transparent material in the-iconstruction 'ioffithe zcartrid'ges'sin order that the mature of the condiment -.:and -:.-the ..quantity uof 'rthe isamelmay :be treadily fvisible.
A further object of theinwention is 'the-iiproduotion of a device of the :characteridescribed that is simple in constructionpeconomical the manufacture, strong, durable 1' and highly deificient in :use. Other obj ectsvand advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout 7 the same,
Fig. l is a side elevational view of the condiment holder or container constructed in accordance with my invention,
Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section through the same, the view being taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the holder, the view being taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1 and looln'ng in the direction of the arrows,
Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the device,
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the cartridges per se,
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the container with the cover elevated above the plurality of condiment holding cartridges, and
Fig. 7 is a detail view of the locking strip for-ming a part of the present invention.
In the accompanying drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention the numeral 1 indicates the circular base of the container that is 222 11253) v provided with amire -'ferentia1; nim- .8. Ilnteegrallyrformed. with the'kbasei-israicentral vertically lextez idingesleeve 1-9 that terminates .at-v its upper .end in a :colzlar :M \vhich,-.'has rextending therefrom plurality -of spacedr-radialiarms CH ,yprefeieablysix; in-number. Hlhjesetarms-are slottedas at cH fl-t'o reeeivetheremthenpper endaoisixtfiexible rpartition-s -,l.2 .2that -=areiseatedtat .itheir lower. .ends on-tthe "rt-'01) surface .l 3+;ofr.the base i. By-vintue.of this-..oonstnuction theipartitienswdefine six .com pantmentsn. inewhiohtthere are..detachably.-re.- ttained icartridges. orfillers .44 thattarel-of -a substantially triangular configuration and areesnug ylyrrejc-eivediin the respectiveieempartments; 1 .Each cartridge retain therein atcommoditysuchas :salt, pepper, :nutmeg, .tcinn-a-mon, ginger 'andallispice.
, .It will be. noted .that -aeaclriz filler has: ,provided in -.-its front wall ithereof 1a ..-pouring -.opening ;l-5
through which the icondiment ,passeswhen the :same ris-:being-id;ispensed. :P-rior .to use and th e positioningpf themazrtridget-inits respective-loom- :partment, the opening :I5 is :sealed by ssaotc tape :or' a plug tmprevent the-spilling ofthemate: :ri-al cluring handling and when deli-Very'.is..made :of the cartridge. Likewise,-=the .cartr-idges can..be 'csuitably marked sucha-asesalt, peppenez etcli toflin- :.-:dicate the nature of :the material .in .the tiller.
Itmillzbe observedwthat ithe' cap portion. 1:5..of tthe device/:is aequippedvwithwa continuous marginal flange Iii of circular configuration. .;Il3he said cap is adapted to be seated on the collar ID and arms II and is rotatable thereabout. Spaced small perforations I! are provided in the flange, while an enlarged aperture I8 is likewise provided adjacent the perforations. 'Thus,when the perforations are brought into alignment with the respective pouring openings l5 of the cartridges, by the rotation of the cap IS, the condiment can be poured or on the other hand can 'be refilled by the use of a small funnel that is inserted in the registering opening and aperture.
To retain the cap portion in operative position relative with the base, I propose to integrally form with the cap a circular shaft 19 that is equipped adjacent its lower end with a circumferential groove 20.
As disclosed to advantage in Fig. 6, it will be noted that the shaft is vertically movable in the sleeve 9, and thus can be readily raised to permit the insertion or extraction of the cartridges from the respective compartments, for the desired purpose.- It is obvious, however, that while the cap and shaft are free to move upwardly relative to the base, during'the, storing or removal of the cartridges, some means must be provided to fix the cap to the base during a condiment sprinkling action. Accordingly, I have slotted and suitably channeled the base as at 2| and 29, respectively, so that a locking strip 22 may be moved laterally in the base to engage the shaft. The said strip is equipped at one end with a depending finger hold 23 and at its opposite end with a yoke or jaw 24. The finger-hold can then be readily manipulated bythe finger of the operator and the yoke can be moved into engagement with the shaft and is received in the recess thereof. The said shaft I9 is capable of entering a central passageway 24 provided in the base, which passageway communicates with the interior of the sleeve 9.
I propose to construct the cap, the shaft, the base and the radial arms of plastic material, and in fact the partitions could also be made of similar material. Howeved, when the partitions employed are of thin wood or fiber as herein illustrated, it is obvious that the same can be readily flexed and seated between the top surface of the base and the radial arms, by the simple expediency of bending the resilient arms upwardly.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes relative to the shape, size, material and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A device of the character described comprising a base having a vertical passageway therein, a vertical sleeve carried by said base and communicating with the passageway, a shaft mounted in said sleeve and detachably secured -in said base, a cover carried by said shaft and 2. A device of the character described comprising a base having a central vertical passageway therein, a vertical sleeve formed on said base, the interior of said sleeve communicating with the central passageway of said base, said base being equipped with a horizontal slot in communication with the passageway of said base and a vertical bore formed in said base and communicating with thehorizontal slot, a shaft vertically movable in said sleeve and detachably secured to said base, a cover carried by said shaft and manually rotatable therewith, a circumferential groove formed on said shaft adjacent the lower end thereof, locking means carried by said base to prevent accidental displacement of said cover from said base, said locking means including a strip resting in the horizontal slot of said base, a yoke formed on one end of said strip and removably positioned in the groove of said shaft, a finger hold depending from the opposite end of said strip and manually movable in the vertical bore of said base, a plurality of apertured condiment holding containers interposed between said base and said cover, a marginal flange carried by said cover and having openings therein adapted to register with the apertures of said containers upon rotation of said cover to dispense a distinctive condiment from one of said containers.
