SPECIFICATION forming part of Lar e Iatent No. 552,780, dated January *7, 1896. Application filed March l9,l895l Serial No. 542,354. No model.)
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, ALFRED EDWIN ROOD,
acitizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, Illinois, but now temporarily residing at New York city, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spoon Attachments; and'I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to Which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has for its object to produce a spoon attachment which may be applied to a bottle or other vessel adapted to contain a liquid which it is desirable to measure or take by the spoonful; and it consists of a spoon.
hinged to a band adapted to encircle the neck of a bottle or other vessel or to some other attaching device. I I I I In the drawings I have illustrated my invention as applied to the neck of a bottle; but I do not wish tolimit myinvention to any particular use or to its combination with any particular kind of vessel.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation showing the position of the attachment when folded up for storing. showing the position occupied by the parts when the liquid is being poured from the bottle into the spoon. Fig. 3 is a similar view illustrating the parts in position for taking the liquid from the spoon. Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line i 4 of Fig. 3. Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate different forms of the supporting-band from that shown in the other. figures.
In the said drawings, A represents the neck of the bottle, which is provided with a bead or rim a surrounding its mouth, and B represents the cork.
0 represents a band which encircles the bot tle-neck below the bead a. It is -preferably formed of elastic metal and is divided or split, the ends a of thebandbeing turned outward so as to be parallel with each other, and perforated for the passage of the connectingpin E, by which the ends of the band are secured together.
D represents a spoon which is hinged to the band C, so that it may be turned in the several positions indicated in Figs. 1, 2, and 3.
Fig. 2 is a similar view For convenience of attachment the spoon is provided with a perforated lug d, which is adapted to be arranged between the ends 0 of the band, where it is held by the pin E, which serves as a fulcrum on which the spoon may turn.
It will be observed that the pivotal connection between the band and the spoon is on a line parallel with a plane cutting the band transversely and also with the plane includ ing the edge of the bowl of the spoon, which insures that whenever the spoon attachment is applied to a bottle the bowl of the spoon may be swung into position to catch the contents of the bottle when poured therefrom,
. when the spoon is not in use or the bottle with the attachment is packed or stored.
The pin E may be screw-threaded and engage with a nut c, Fig. 4, as by these means the outward-turned ends a of the ban-d may be made to bind against the opposite sides of the lug d with such firmness as to hold the spoon with considerable rigidity in any position to which it may be turned.
I prefer that the band 0 should be so made as to fit the necks of bottles or vessels of different sizes, and to this end I construct it of two parts, as shown in Fig. 4, each part being curved to fit the neck of the bottle and provided at one end with the outward-turned porl tion 0 before described. The opposite ends a of the parts of the band lap past each other and by reason of their elasticity will clasp the necks of bottlesof considerably different sizes.
When the attachment is to be permanently applied to a vessel, and hence requiring no adjustment, the band may be of a single piece, as shown in Fig. 6, or the band may be made as shown in Fig. 5, wherein the two semicircular parts are shown as provided at each end with the outward-turned portions 0 c. A screw 6 connects the portions '0.
hen the attachment is not in use the spoon may be folded or turned up alongside the neck or over the cork, as shown in Fig. 1. WVhen the spoon is to be filled from the bottle, the band C is pushed up close to the head a, and the spoon is turned into a position nearly parallel with the neck of the bottle, as indicated in Fig. 2, when, as will be seen, the liquid poured from the bottle will be caught by the spoon. Then the liquid is to be taken from the spoon, the bottle is turned into substantially the position shown in Fig. 4:, the spoon in the meantime being held in a horizontal position.
The parts of my attachment may be made of any suitable material, such as tin or aluminum.
The attachment may be applied perinanently to the bottle and besold with it and its contents, or it may be sold as a separate attachment, to be applied at the option of the user.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination of a vessel adapted to contain aliquid, an attachment applied to the vessel, and a spoon hinged to the attachment and arranged at one side of the vessel,whereby the spoon may be folded or moved substantially in line with the body of the vessel or into a position substantially at right angles thereto and below the mouth of the vessel, as set forth.
2. The combination of a bottle, a band which encircles the neck of the bottle, and a spoon hinged to the band, whereby the spoon may be moved substantially into line with the bottle or to a position below the mouth of the bottle and projecting outward therefrom, as set forth.
0. The combination of a bottle, a spoon provided with a perforated lug, and a band havin g outward turned ends surrounding the neck of the bottle, and a connecting pin pass ing through the said ends of the band and through the lug of the spoon, whereby the spoon may be moved into a position substantially in line with the bottle, or to a position below the month of the bottle and projecting outward therefrom, substantially as set forth.
at. A spoon attachment adapted to be applied to a bottle and comprising a band, a spoon and a pivot connecting the band and the spoon, the said pivot being parallel with a plane which cuts the band transversely, and also with a plane including the edge of the bowl of the spoon. r
5. A spoon attachment adapted to be applied to a bottle, and comprising a band formed of two. curved parts each having an out-turned portion, 0, the opposite ends of the two parts of the band. c,lappin g past each other, a spoon, D, and a pivot passing through the said outturned ends of the band and uniting the spoon thereto, the said pivot being parallel with a plane which cuts the band transversely, and also parallel with a plane including the bowl of the spoon, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
