Description

March 6, 1962 G. o. MATTER MEASURING DISPENSER Filed March 12, 1957 m T N E v m 3,023,937 MEAURING DISPENSER Gustave 0. Matter, 3112 NE. 46th Ave, Portland, Oreg- Filed Mar. 12, 1957, Ser. No. 645,535 7 Claims. (Cl. 222-440) My invention relates to measuring dispensers of the type adapted to dispense a measured amount of a freeflowing substance, including granulated and powdered substance, from a container.
An object of this invention is a dispenser which controls the amount of substance dispensed from its container.
Another object is a dispenser which prevents direct flow of contents from its containers.
Another object is a container dispenser which is encased within the container.
Another object is a dispenser adapted to prevent communication out of or into its container.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear in and from the following specification considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, which are for purpose of illustration and not intended as a definition of the invention, the invention being defined in the appended claims.
Referring to the drawings, in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views:
FIG. I is a vertical section of a container in its normal upright position with its dispenser attached to the top thereof,
FIG. II is the same container and dispenser shown in FIG. I, shown in an inverted position.
FIG. III is a section on line IlIIlI of FIG. II with a portion of the container broken away.
FIG. 1V is a vertical section of the upper portion of a container with a dispenser of slightly modified form attached thereto and shown in an inverted position.
FIG. V is a section on line VV of FIG. IV, with a portion of the container broken away.
Referring to the numerals on the drawings, the dispenser has a measuring compartment 1 bounded by encircling side wall 2, a bottom wall 3 and the lower edge 4 of the flared end portion 5 of a measuring compartment outlet conduit 6 which leads to conduit outlet 7. The lower edge 4 of the conduit 6 provides an outlet passageway from the measuring compartment 1 into the outlet conduit 6.
A supply compartment 8 is formed by an upward continuation of measuring compartment encircling wall 2 which terminates upward in an enlarged portion 9, the upper edge 10 of which is spaced below a lid providing the top wall 11 of a container 12 and is attached to the top wall 11 as by legs 13. A portion of the periphery of the edge 4 of the flared end portion 5 of the conduit 6 engages the side Wall 2 of the receptacle or measuring compartment and thereby prevents material which has been introduced into the measuring compartment 1 from returning to the supply compartment 8. The remaining portion of the periphery of edge 4 is spaced from the wall 2 and provides with the adjacent wall portion a material inlet passageway 14 leading from the supply compartment 8 to allow the material to gravitate into the measuring compartment 1, as will be readily obvious.
The outlet conduit 6 is slidably mounted in the container top wall 11 and the flared end portion 5 of outlet conduit 6 is thereby movable within the measuring compartment 1 to permit adjustment of the lower edge 4, of the flared end portion 5 of the outlet conduit 6, in relation to the bottom wall 3 of the measuring compartment 1 whereby the capacity of the measuring compartment 1 can be regulated.
ice
As shown in FIGS. I-II and III, the enlarged portion 9 of supply compartment 8 is concentrically spaced from the side wall 15 of the container 12, thereby forming a passageway 16 to permit material to gravitate into the supply compartment 8 by way of space 17 between upper edge 10 and container top wall 11 when the container 12 with its dispenser is in an inverted position similar to that shown in FIG. II.
As shown in FIGS. IV and V, the enlarged portion 9 of supply compartment 8 is eccentrically spaced from the side wall 15 of the container 12, with its enlarged portion 9 adjacent the side wall 15 of the container 12 at the side of the enlarged portion 9 which is on the opposite side of the conduit 6 from the measuring compartment inlet passageway 14, thereby preventing an excess of material from gravitating from the supply compartment 8 back into the container when the container 12 with its dispenser is slowly moved from an inverted position as shown in FIG. IV to its normal upright position similar to that shown in FIG. I.
In operation, with the container 12 and its dispenser in an inverted position, similar to that shown in FIGS. II and-IV, material will gravitate through passageway 16 and space 17 into supply compartment 8, when the container 12 with its dispenser is moved to its normal upright position, similar to that shown in FIG. I, a portion of the material in the supply compartment 8 will gravitate therefrom through measuring compartment inlet passageway 14 and fill measuring compartment 1, the container 12 with its dispenser is then moved to the dispensing position as shown in FIGS. II and IV which show the measuring compartment inlet passageway 14 located uppermost in relation to the measuring compartment outlet passageway and only the small amount of material which is in the passageway 14 when the container is in its normal upright position, as shown in FIG. I, will return to the supply compartment 8 when thed evice is inverted to its dispensing position, as shown in FIGS. II and IV, and the amount will be substantially the same whether the device is moved slowly or rapidly from its normal upright position to its dispensing position, and only the material in the measuring compartment 1 will gravitate through conduit 6 and out of conduit outlet 7. FIGS. IV and V show the outlet conduit 6 positioned eccentrically to both the measuring compartment side wall 2 and the side wall 15 of the container 12, in a direction below the center of the container, when the dispenser and container are in dispensing position as shown in FIG. IV.
The proper dispensing position of the device is with the measuring compartment outlet passageway relatively below the inlet passageway 14, as illustrated in FIGS. II and IV.
To operate the dispenser for maximum accuracy the container, with its dispenser, is held in its normal upright position and the measuring compartment outlet passageway will be positioned at one side of the measuring compartment with the inlet passageway positioned adjacent the side of the outlet passageway in the opposite side of the measuring compartment therefrom. The container is then tipped, in the direction toward the outlet passageway side of the measuring compartment, to its dispensing position and the outlet passagewaywill then be positioned relatively below the inlet passageway of the measuring compartment, as shown in FIGS. II and IV.
In the arrangement shown in FIGS. IV and V a means to indicate the proper direction in which to tip the container and its dispenser from its normal upright position to its dispensing position is illustrated as being the conduit 6 projecting out from the container lid 11, the conduit 6 being positioned to one side of the center of the lid 11, which, as shown in FIG. IV, with the device in its dispensing position, would be below the center of the lid 11 thus indicating the direction in which the device is to be tipped from its normal upright position to its dispensing position, and the direction indicated would be toward the side of the measuring compartment wherein the outlet passageway is located.
As shown in all of the figures of the drawing, and particularly as illustrated in FIGS. I1 and IV, an important advantage of the construction whereby the inlet 14 is formed across a portion of the periphery of the edge 4 of the flared end of the conduit 6, with the remainder of the edge 4 engaging the side wall 2, is that when the container is in dispensing position, as illustrated in FIGS. II and IV, only a minor portion of the material in the measuring compartment 1 can possibly gravitate back into the supply compartment 8 and accordingly there is provided a greater accuracy in connection with the dispensing of the material than would be the case if it were possible for the material to gravitate back into the supply compartment 8 anywhere around the periphery or edge 4 of the flared end portion 5 of the conduit.
The capacity of measuring compartment 1 is controlled by the slidable conduit 6 and its flared end portion 5 and is determined by the space between the lower edge 4 of the flared end portion 5 and the bottom wall 3 of the measuring compartment 1.
When it is desired to completely shut off communication from the inside of the container 12 to the outside thereof the container with its dispenser is placed in an inverted position to allow material in the measuring compartment to flow therefrom and the conduit 6, with its flared end portion is moved inward until the lower edge 4 of the flared end portion 5 contacts the bottom wall 3 of the measuring compartment 1.
While the specification sets forth in detail the construction of the device, deviation from the construction shown may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
In view of the foregoing description, taken in conjunction With the accompanying drawings, it is deemed that a clear understanding of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore a more detailed description islaccordingly thought unnecessary.
