GEORGE GOUGH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO E. G. WEBSTER AND A. A. WEBSTER, OF SAME PLACE.

PITCH ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,191, dated November 7, 1882.

Application filed September 20, 1882.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, GEORGE GOUGH, of the city, county, and State of New York, haveinvented a new and Improved Pitcher, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of a pitcher of novel construction, the same being made with two spouts, and so pivoted in its stand that it is 1'0 adapted to be tilted in either direction for pouring by the handle or hail of the stand; also,

of novel means for locking the cover in place upon the pitcher.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figui e 1 is a broken side elevation of my new and improved pitcher and stand. Fig. 2 is a partial front elevation of the same, and Fig.

3 is a plan view of the pitcher and stand.

' A represents the pitcher, which is formed upon opposite sides with the spouts a a, and at right angles thereto, upon opposite sides,

with the pins or studs 1) b, upouwhich the pitcher is pivoted in the uprightsff of the stand B, and with the studs (1 d, which come upon opposite sides of the ends of the bail or handle 0 of the stand, as shown clearly in 0 Fig. 3. The bail or handle 0 is pivoted upon the gudgeons c c at the upper ends of the uprights ff, in the ordinary manner, and the studs d d stand above these gudgeons, as shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 2, so that upon 5 tipping the bail in either direction the studs (1 01 will cause the pitcher to be tilted accordingly. In this manner the contents of the pitcher may be poured from either spout, as happens to be most convenient, by operating the bail G; or the pitcher may be tilted by taking hold of the bottom of the pitcher, or by taking hold of one ofthe spouts; or, in case the stand is not provided with a hail, the pitcher may be provided with suitable handles for 5 tilting it.

The cover D of the pitcher is provided upon its under side with diametrically-arranged (No model.)

headed studs g g, which are adapted to engage with the circular flanges h h, formed inside ot' the pitcher, near its upper end, as shown clearly in Fig. 1. The under side, of these circular plates are provided by preference with the stops i 2', against which the headed studs 9 g are adapted to come for limiting the distance of circular movement of the cover. By this construction the cover may be easily detached from the pitcher by simply giving it a one-quarter turn, so that the headed studs 9 y will pass the ends of the circular flanges, and it may be as easily attached to the pitcher by giving it the reverse revolution to bring the headed studs under the flanges. This method of attaching the cover, besides being convenient for the quick and easy removal and attachment of the cover to the pitcher, is cheap and much stronger, and makes a tighterjoint, and is better than hinging the cover to the pitcher, as is the ordinary practice.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A pitcher having two opposite spouts, a, valved at the bottom and connected by a tubular passage, as shown and described.

2. The combination, with the double-spouted pitcher A and stand B, of the bail 0, adapted to tilt the pitcherin opposite directions, as set forth.

3. The combination, with the pitcher A, formed with the spouts a a and provided with the studs d d, of the bail or handle G, hinged to the stand B, the studs coming upon opposite sides of the bail, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. 8

4.. The pitcher formed or provided with the flanges h h, with or without stops, in combination with the cover D, provided with the headed studs 9 g, substantially as described.

GE. GOUGH.
