UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM A. COLLINS, OF MADISON, INDIANA.-
CRUET FOR POWDERED CONDIMENTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,388, dated December 5, 1882.
Application filed July 15, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. GoLLINs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Madison, Jefferson county, Indiana, have invented certain Improvements in Gruets for Powdered or Granulated Condiments, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of table cruets or castors designed to hold salt, pepper, and similar substances, and which are provided with perforationsin a cap fixed thereon through which to eject the contents and an aperture in the bottom at which to fill them. Uruets of this character have the advantage over those with removable caps in that the caps will never fall off and permit the entire contents to be dumped on the plate. v
The distinctive feature of my present invention is that it is made wholly from glass or other similar material and in one piece, the cap being formed in one with the body.
' In the drawings, which serve to illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved cruet, taken in the plane of line 1 l in Fig. 2; and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the. same taken inthe plane of line 2 2 in Fig. 1.
A represents the body of a cruet or similar receptacle, made from glass, and provided at the top with a perforated cap or cover, a, formed in one piece with the body, and at the bottom with a filling-aperture adapted to be closed with a cork or other stopper, b.
When it is desired to fill the oruetas with salt, for example-the cork b is removed and the receptacle filled while inverted. Only a few grains of salt will sift through the cap it the receptacle is held steady while being filled.
The cruet is formed with an exteriorly-concaved or hollow bottom, which performs the functions of a funnel in filling, and the bottom is hollowed or concaved interiorlyand rounded to the margin of the filling-aperture, so as to adapt it to drain all the moisture from the 5 cruet when it is washed.
By making the CHPJJOUOD], and body of the cruet in one piece and of some such non-oxidizable material as glass, all joints and crevices are avoided. These are apt to retain moisture after washing, and if the cap is of metal the solutions thus formed with the water will corrode the cap and other parts. Any moisture carelessly left in these crevices will also cause the salt or other substance in the cruet to cake or harden.
I prefer to employ a simple cork for a stopper; but some other form of stopper-in the nature of a screw-plug, for example-might be employed.
I consider the peculiar construction of the bottom part of the cruet as very important, as it enables the cruet to be conveniently filled and to be readily and thoroughly drained. Where a receptacle of this character has sharp re-entering angles in its interior it is very difficult to remove the moisture entirely, unless the receptacle be heated hot, which would be dangerous to receptacles made of glass.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- V 1. As an improved article of manufacture,a table-cruet made wholly from glass or other non-oxidizable material, having its perforated cap formed in one with the body and provided with a filling-aperture in its bottom, substantially as and for the-purposes set forth. 4

V
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two-subscribing witnesses.
