ERNEST E. BROWN, OF CARICO, OREGON.
CUSPIDOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 2, 1907.
Application filed August 17,1905. Serial No. 274,557.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, ERNEST E. BROWN, a citizen of the United x tates, residing at Carico, in the county of Columbia, State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuspidors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, 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.
his invention relates to cuspidors.
One object of the invention is to provide a cuspidor embodying such characteristics that accidental upsetting of the same will not spill the contents thereof.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of an exceedingly simple, inexpensive, durable, and efficient cuspidor so constructed and arranged that the waste-receptacle will always be in upright position regardless of the position of its casing.
\Yith these and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my invention, partly in elevation. i ig. 2 is a detail sectional view of one of the supporting-wheels and the means for mounting the same.
Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, the reference characters 1 and 2 designate upper and lower semispherical members hingedly connected, as at 3, and provided with means 4 at the opposite side for locking the hinged semispherical members together. Formed with the lower member 2 is the base 5 of the cuspidor, the upper member 1 having an integral neck portion 6, in which latter is fitted a removable funnel 7, whose flange 8 forms a shoulder for the support of the funnel upon the upper edge of the neck 6, with its contracted portion 9 projecting into the upper member 1 immediatel i' over the opening 10 of the waste-receptacle 11, which latter is mounted for movement in various directions within the casing formed by the upper and lower semispherical members 1 and and out of contact with the latter.
In order to support the waste-receptacle 11 within the upper and lower members 1 and 2 in the manner stated, 1 provide suitable wheels or rollers 12 therebetween and the said upper and lower members 1 and 2. Washer-plates 13 are secured in spaced relation to the inner faces of the upper and lower members 1 and 2, the securing means being in the form of rivets 14, as shown. Each of these washer-plates 13 is provided with a perforation 15, and each washer-pl ate is also provided with recesses 16 and 17 in its inner and outer faces, respectively. The shank 18 of each caster-wheel 12 has a forked end 19, in which the respective wheels 12 are mounted upon the shaft 20 for rotation, the opposite end. of the shank 18 being screw-threaded for the reception of the nut 21, which lies in the recess 17 of the respective washer-plate 13, so that the latter may fit evenly upon the inner face of the respective upper and lower members 1 and 2.
Intermediate the ends of the shank 18 there is formed a flange 22, having its under face provided with the groove 23 for cooperation with the recess 16 of the washer-plate. The cooperation of the groove 23 of the flange 22 with the recess 16 of each washerplate 13 provides a raceway for the reception of bearing-balls 24. By reason of these bearing-balls 24 the shanks 18 are each adapted to rotate within the respective washer-plates, and thereby freely dispose the wheels 12 in various planes with respect or according to the movement of the waste-receptacle 11, which depends solely for support within the upper and lower members 1 and 2 by reason of the engagement of its outer surfaces with the periphery of the aforesaid wheels 12.
In order to always insure the upright position of the waste-receptacle 11, so that its opening 10 will always be at its top, I increase the thickness of the bottom of the waste-receptacle 11 to provide a weighted bottom 25. It will thus be seen that when the casing of the cuspidor is in upright position the weighted bottom 25 of the wastereceptacle 11 will positively dispose the opening 10 thereof in alinement with the neck 6 of the upper member 1 of the said casing. All waste will therefore pass through the funnel 7 into the waste-receptacle 1.1. in the event that the cuspidor should be upset accidentally or otherwise the weighted bottom 25 of the waste-receptacle 11 will hold the latter in upright position.
By reason of the fact that the shanks 18 of the wheels 12 are permitted to rotate the latter maybe thrown into various positions, and thereby reduce friction between the waste-receptacle and cuspidor-casing in direct contradistinction to fixed supporting means or wheels mounted. for rotation in a single plane.
Vhat is claimed is In a cuspidor, the combination with a ho]- low cylindrical casing including separable upper and lower portions, of washer-plates secured against the inner surface of the easing, wheels connected with the washer-plates for rotation upon their axes and for bodily rotation with respect to the washer-plates to extend Indifferent planes, and a hollow cytain the receptacle with its opening at all times uppermost, said casing having an opening therein at its top.
In testimony whereof I aHiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
