Patented Mar. 25, 1890.
WITNESSES:
A 7'TOHN E YS UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES F. SAUTTER', OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
TRAY FOR TUMBLERS OR OTHER ARTICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 424,028, dated March 25, 1890.
Application filed July 5, 1889. Serial No. 316,603. (No model.)
To ctZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES F. SAUTTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Trays for Tumblers and other Articles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improvement in trays of that class which are used principally in restaurants for receiving glasses or tumblers filled with beer or other liquid, so that the drippings are not liable to soil the table.
The peculiar and novel construction of my tray is pointed out in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a vertical central section. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view. I
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
In the drawings, the letter A designates a tray, which may be made of any suitable material-such as glass, porcelain, wood, or metal-and which is provided with a solid bottom B, in which is formed a spiral depression a, which extends from the rim 0 toward the center. The rim is raised above the bottom and it is turned down below the level of the bottom, so as to form a support for the tray. The bottom is made conoave so that any liquid which may be poured into the tray near its rim will run down in the spiral depression and accumulate in the center of the tray. In this center is formed a well D to receive the liquid.
It will be readily seen from this description that my tray is adapted to receive tumblers, glasses, or other articles of different sizes, and these tumblers orother articles will be evenly supported on the spiral ridge between the coils of the depression a, and, furthermore, all liquid which may drip from or over the edge of the tumbler will accumulate in the center of the tray, so that if the tumbler is taken out of the tray the clothes of the person handling the tray are not liable to become soiled by drops of liquid falling down from the bottom of the tumbler.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A concave tray formed integral with a marginal rim 0, a central well D, and a spiral depression beginning at the rim and ending in the central well, so that the drippings flow to the center into the well, substantially as described.
2. A concave tray formed integral with a centralwell D, a rim 0, which rises above the surface of the tray and is rebent downward into an annular flange to form a tray-support, and a spiral depression beginning at the rim and ending in the central well, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHAS. F. SAUITER.
