XVILLIAM L. PIKE, OF GROTON, NEW YORK.
COMBINED FUNNEL, STRAINER, AND CLOTHES-SPRINKLER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 559,905, dated May 12, 1896.
Application filed April 23, 1894:.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, TILLIAM L. PIKE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Groton, in the county of Tompkins and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in a Combined Funnel, Strainer, and Qlothes-Sprinkler, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
My invention relates to improvements in combined funnels, strainers, and clothessprinklers, and has particular reference to that class of such devices in which attachments of various kinds can be readily attached to a funnel and thereby enable it to be used for various other purposes.
The object of my invention is to produce a funnel composed of a main portion having screw-threads at its lower end, by means of which one or more attachments may be connected to said funnel at the same or different times, and thereby adapting it for different uses; and my invention has for a further ob- ,ject its simplicity, durability, eheapness, and general efficiency.
To these ends my invention consists in the improved construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention, showing the general form of the attachments and the relative sizes of the attachments. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the lower'end of the funnel proper, showing the strainer and a nozzle in position thereon. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the strainer. Fig. i is a similar view of the clothes-sprinkler, and Figs. 5, 6, and 7 are side elevations of the different-sized nozzles.
Similar numerals of reference indicate similar parts in all of the figures of the drawings.
Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates the funnel proper, which may be composed of any suitable material, and which at its lower end is screw-threaded, as at 2, to receive the different attachments as they are needed. Attached by any suitable means to the side of the funnel is a handle of any preferred construction. It will be readily understood that with the above construction a complete funnel is formed, which may be used in the filling of vessels having large openings.
l, 5, 6, and 7 designate nozzles of various Serial No. 508,639. (No model.)
shapes and sizes, each of which is adapted to fit the screw-threaded portion of the funnel bymeans of the screw-threaded top of the nozzles, said screw-threaded top being adapted to screw over the outside of the screw-threaded portion of the funnel. It will be noticed that these nozzles have their lower openings of various diameters, thus enabling the funnel, when either one of the nozzles is attached thereto, to be used in the filling of the smallest openings in bottles, 850., and which, by the interchanging of the nozzles, permits the easier filling of a number of bottles, &c., of various-sized openings.
8 designates a strainer, composed of a threaded body 10, adapted to screw into the inner portion of the screw-threaded portion of the funnel. Said threaded body has near its lower edge lugs 9, attached to its inner side for the purpose of forming a purchase to enable the strainer to be easily removed from the funnel. Attached by any suitable means to the top of the strainer is a piece of wirecloth of fine mesh, said cloth being of sufiieient size as to cover the entire top of the strainer. It will be obvious that this strainer can be used in the funnel either with or without the nozzles, and can be easily secured to the funnel. ll designates the clothes-sprinkler attachment, which consists of a threaded body of same size as the threaded body of the strainer, and has lugs attached to the body in the same position as those in the strainer, to enable the sprinkler to be removed from the funnel. The said sprinkler has at its top and fitted to the top of the threaded portion aperforated sheet-metal disk 12. This would also serve as a strainer if it should be found that the mesh of the strainer-cloth is too small.
It will be obvious that with the above construction my device could be readily used as a funnel with different-sized nozzles, a strainer, to be used with or without the nozzles, or a clothes-sprinkler, and thereby making a cheap and efficient household utensil.
It will be seen that when the strainer is turned into the lower end of the funnel it may be borne against by the contracted portion of the nozzle, and that there will be a mutual clamping action between the tubular portion of the sprinkler and the contracted portion of the nozzle, which will prevent accidental displacement of either when the device is agitated when employed as a clothessprinkler.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. In a combined funnel, strainer, and clothes-sprinkler, the combination of a funnel, having its lower end screw-threaded, a series of interchangeable nozzles adapted to fit the outer periphery of said screw-threaded portion, a strainer adapted to fit the inner periphery of said screw-threaded portion, and a clothes-sprinkler, adapted tofit the inner periphery of said screw-threaded portion, and adapted to be used intercln ngeably with said strainer substantially as set forth.
In a combined funnel, strainer and clothes-sprinkler, the combination with the funnel having its lower end provided with internal and external threads; of a strainer adapted to engage the interior threads of the funnel, a series of interchangeable nozzles adapted to engage the exterior threads of the funnel and contracted therebelow to prevent dislodgment of the strainer, and a clothessprinkler adapted to engage the interior threads of the funnel and to be used interchangeably with the strainer.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of April, 1894.
VM. L. PIKE.
