MEASURING-VESSEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,483, dated January 27, 1891. Application filed April 1, 1890. Serial No. 346,236. (No model.)
"To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LEWIS D. \VARNOCK, of Manor Station, in the county of Westmoreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Measuring Apparatus, and designed for use by grocers in measuring small quantities of granular articles, such as coffee, rice, &c.; and the invention I have made consists of a bin or hopper adapted to contain the articles to be measured, which bin or hopper is provided with a revoluble cylindrical receptacle to receive a given quantity of coffee, rice, or other material from the hopper and by rotary movement deposit the same in a detachable tray or scoop beneath, which revoluble measure is provided with a means whereby its capacity can either be increased or diminished, as required.
The construction of my improved measurin g apparatus will be readily understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 represents a longitudinal vertical section of myimproved measuring apparatus;
Fig. 2, a transverse section of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged front view of a device used in holding the measure while being filled and discharged.
To construct my improved measuring apparatus,l prepare a suitable vessel A,having about midway of itsdepthadownwardly-slanting bottom B, the sides of which converge, but do not come together, leaving a space 0 between them for the passage of such material as may be placed in the vessel. Immediately along and underneath the opening in this bottom B and in close contact therewith is arranged a horizontal cylinder D, having an opening along one side thereof corresponding in size to that in the hopper. This cylinder D is also provided with a horizontal central shaft E, made fast therein, its outer end terminating in a crank F, provided with a handle G, whereby the cylinder may be rotated. The opposite end of the cylinder D is sup ported by a similar cylinder II, that its easily therein. This interior cylinder is fitted with a head or disk at at each end thereof. The inner disk or head extends over the central shaft E, so as to be slid in or out of its surrounding cylinder to diminish or increase the holding capacity thereof, and is prevented from being drawn outward too far by means of a button or collar Z) on the extreme inner end of the central shaft. This interior cylinder has also a scale of figures and marks K on its outer surface, whereby the capacity of the revoluble cylinder may at all times be seen by reference thereto. The inner cylinderD is also provided with a knob e on its extreme outer end, whereby the cylinder may be easily manipulated; and to prevent this inner cylinder D from rotating it has on its under side a longitudinal slot f, into which extends an upwardly-projecting pin i, over which it is adapted to slide.
In the main vessel A, and at a little distance below the revoluble cylinder D or measure, is arranged a removable drawer or tray L, wherein the contents of the cylinder is discharged when its opening is turned downward, and to facilitate the handling of this drawer or tray L, enabling it to be drawn readily from the vessel, it is provided with a knobj at its outer end, its opposite end being turned up in the form of a scoop to make it available for its easy insertion and discharge of its contents into such paper bags as are generally made use of by grocers.
To prevent the cylindrical measure from rotating when brought into position for the reception of the contents of the hopper or final discharge thereof into the tray beneath, the outer portion of its central shaft E is provided with a flat cheek or stop N pressed upon by a suitable spring P, that tends to bring and hold the cylinder in proper position while being filled and discharged. As the main vessel is considerably wider than the tray L to insure the proper guidance thereto of the contents of the cylindrical measure, a secondary bottom, consisting of inclined sloping sides R, directs the discharged contents therein.
The large bin or receptacle A is provided at its top with a hinged cover S, that maybe thrown back for filling the same and closed when filled to exclude the dust; or the same may have a fixed cover provided with a re movable canister-like top.
This contrivance is peculiarly adapted for use by small grocers in measuring out pounds of coffee or fractional parts thereof quickly and with considerable accuracy.
Having thus described my improvement, what I claim is 1. The combination of a vessel having downwardly-inclined converging sides leaving an opening between them for the passage of such material as maybe placed in the vessel, a revoluble cylindrical tube having an opening along one side thereof in close contact and corresponding with the opening in said vessel, a central shaft within and immovably attached to said cylinder, and around said cylinder another cylinder extending through the frame and adjustable in the direction of its length, a scale or series of ures marked along its outside surface, a longitudinal slot in the under side of this adjustable cylinder, and a stationary pin projecting upward into said slot to prevent said cylinder from rotating.
2. The combination consisting of a hopper,
an opensided revoluble cylinder close proximity to the under side of said hopper, a shaft arranged centrally within said cylinder, and a cheek or stop pressed upon the outer side of the shaft by means of a suitable spring to hold the cylinder in proper position While being filled and discharged.
3. The combination consisting of a hopper having downwardly-converging sides, a removable tightly-fitting lid as a cover to said -hopper, a revoluble cylinder beneath said hopper, an opening through one side of the cylinder, through which it may be filled when in one position, and a removable tray or drawer beneath the revoluble cylinder to receive the contents thereof when the cylinder is brought to aposition for discharging its contents.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 15th day of March, A. D. 1890.
