IMPROVEMENT IN MEASURlNG-FUNNELS.
Specification formingpart of Letters Patent No. 56,710, dated July 31, 1866.
To all whom 'it/ITLCQI/ concern Be it known that I, JOHN W. CLARKE, of
they occur.
To enable others skilled in the art to construct and use the invention, I will proceed to describe it.
The nature of my invention consists in constructing a funnel in such a manner that it may be used either as a funnel or a measure, or both combined, and also in providing it with a screw for forcing the contents from it into the jug or other vessel.
I construct the body A of any desired size and form, and attach to it the spout B, in which I locate a stop-cock, O, as shown. The body A has a series of grooves or indentations made in it, as represented by the numerals 1, 2, 3, and 4, these grooves being so located as to indicate the number of quarts or other similar divisions of liquid measure that the body or cup A will contain when filled to those respective points. Midway between these grooves is located a series of points or other proper marks, as shown, to indicate the half quantities represented by the grooves. If quarts be the unit of measure, then the points will indicate pints, and so of any other unit that may be adopted.
D represents a screw located vertically in the spout B, as shown, and having its upper end held in position by a cross-bar, E, which latter is made detachable to permit the removal of the screw when desired, the screw being provided with a crank, a, for giving it motion, and thus forcing the contents down the spout B.
I represents a series of legs or'supports attached to the body A, and which, as shown, are somewhat longer than the spout B, so that it will stand upright upon the floor when used simply as a cup or measure, the legs I being sufficiently wide apart to permit the spout B to be inserted into the mouth of a jug or simi' lar vessel without hinderance.
(J the funnel may be used as a cup or measure for holding or dipping and measuring liquids,
and at the same time can be used as a funnel also, whenever desired. By this means the liquids can be drawn or poured directly into it and measured without the use of a separate measure, thus combining in the one implement the functions of several separate ones as usually constructed.
By means of the screw molasses and similar viscous or thick fluids can also be forced through it with greater rapidity, thus saving time also.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is-- A funnel provided with the screw D, arranged to operate substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
JOHN W. CLARKE.
