MARTIN L. BEISTLE, OF INGRAM, PENNSYLVANIA.
MEDICINE-SPOON.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 784,830, dated March 14, 1905.
Application filed August 12, 1904- Serial No. 220,565.
To (117/ who/1t 7'26 7)7/(t 7/ concern.-
Be it known that I, MARTIN L. BEIs'rLE,a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Ingram, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Medicine- Spoons, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention has relation to medicinespoons, and more particularly to those which are devised for facilitating persons in swallowing all forms of dry medicines.
The invention has for its object the provision of novel means in connection with an ordinary table-glass whereby medicines such as pills, powders, capsules, tablets, and the like may be easily and quickly taken without causing any disagreeable or nauseous sensation.
Briefly described, my improved spoon is preferably formed or constructed of metal, and the spoon comprises a bowl portion and a handle portion which is bent to form a V- shaped yoke that is adapted to embrace or it over the rim of the ordinary glass, the bowl portionpf the spoon adapted to lie within the glass at right angles to said yoke.
The above construction will be hereinafter more fully described in detail, and referring to the drawings accompanying this application, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of an ordinary glass, showing my improved medicine-spoon in position upon said glass. Fig. 2 is atop plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of my improved spoon, and Fig. 4 is a detail view of a modified form of construction.
Throughout the several views of the drawings accompanying this application like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts,and the reference-numeral 1 indicates the handle portion of my improved spoon, which has formed integral with its one end a bowl 2, whilethe other end thereof is bent upwardly approximately at a right angle to the handle 1 and then bent downwardly to form a yoke 3 of substantially inverted V shape. As illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, wherein I have illustrated my improved spoon in position upon a glass, the inverted-V-shaped yoke 3 is adapted to engage over the rim of the glass 4, said yoke being made of a sufficient depth to support the bowl of the spoon about midway the depth of the glass upon which it is mounted.
\Vhen a person desires to take pills, powders, and the like, the glass is [illed about one-third full of water, and the powder or pill having been placed in the bowl of the spoon the yoke 3 is placed over the rim of the glass. The glass is then tilted by the person taking the medicine to swallow the water, and as the water passes out of the glass the contents of the spoon is emptied the instant the water contacts with the same, and the medicine is swallowed with the water without causing the person taking the same to realize any disagreeable taste or nauseous sensation.
My improved spoons are particularly ad apted for the use of children, whereby medicine may be given to them without their knowledge. It will be seen by the construction of my improved spoon that the same may he used in conjunction with a cup, goblet, or vial of any preferred form, the handle portion of the spoon being bent to support the bowl a sufficient height within the glass in which it is used.
I do not care to limit myself to the particular design of the spoon or the material from which it may be made, but may employ such material as will be advantageous to the use of the spoon.
In place of the spoon which I have illustrated in the accompanying drawings I may use a suitable receptacle in which the medicine may be placed, and I employ the same means for suspending the receptacle partially within the glass, whereby the medicine will be suspended therein. In Fig. 4% of the drawings I have illustrated a modified form of constructing my improved spoon or receptacle wherein a spring 5 is mounted in the yoke 3. This spring may be employed to facilitate the gripping of the yoke upon the glass to prevent the spoon or receptacle when the glass is tilted from becoming detached from the glass.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. As a new article of manufacture, a spoon embodying an imperforate bowl, and a handle, the said handle having a portion thereof bent at right angles to the bowl and then bent downwardly to engage the rim of a vessel and support the bowl within the vessel.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a receptacle comprising a bowl having an integral handle, the end of said handle being bent to form a substantially inverted-\l-shaped yoke, said yoke extending at right angles to said receptacle, and a spring carried by said yoke, 5 substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

H. O. EVERT, Mrs. IRA GRIBBEN.
