SPOON.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,985, dated July 10, 1883.
Applicationiled February 8, 1883. (No model.)
To ZZ whom it may concern:
beard upon their upper lips, and enables Be it known that I, DAVID G. WILLIAMS, of them to eat soup withoutdipping the hair in- '.Port Huron, in the county of St. Clair and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spoons; and I do hereby declare that the following is a I'ull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
' which form a part of this speciiication.
' spoon.
The nature of this invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in spoons, by means of which those who wear Inustaches are enabled to eat soup and other liquid food without the disagreeable consequences usually attached to eating such food-viz., smearing their mustaches. I
The invention consists in providing the -spoon with a guard which will prevent vthe In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A .represents a spoon of ordinary construction, provided with the guard B, secured upon one side of the bowl of the spoon in such anianner as to allow the free discharge of the contents of the spoon without any of the disagreeable results which pertain to the use of the spoons of ordinary construction, as above noted.
In Fig. 1 it will be noticed that `the guard B is secured by hinge I) to .the side of the This form of guard is designed especially for the use of those who wear their It will be observed that the space between the guard and the edge of the bowl upon one side is sufcient to allow the soup, or the like, to be dipped up in the bowl, but that lwhen placed to the lmouth the mustache will be kept from contact with the contents of the bowl by the guard. The hinge b is so formed that the guard B will not fall lower than the point shown in Fig. l-that is, beneath the level of the liquid when the spoon is full-but may turn back readily.
I am aware that medical spoons have before been used with hinged covers; but these articles were never intended to dip up the Inaterial, and are not adapted to the service for which my device is designed.
I am aware of Patent No. 135,141, of 1873, in which the guard is not hinged, and has an aperture through which the contents of the spoon pass into the mouth. Such construction is not sought to be covered in this application.
What I claim is- As a new article of manufacture, a mustache-spoon having an imperforate guard, B, secured by a hinge, b, to one` side of the bowl, so that it will not fall as low as the plane of the upper edges of said bowl, and having the opposite side left open, as shown, the whole being adapted to serve as and for the purposes set forth.
DAVID G. WILLIAMS.
