A TTOHNE) Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed February 18, 1907. Serial No. 367,710.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM CARL SCHULZE, a citizen of the United States, re

. sidin at Flushing, in the county of Queens and tate of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Glass Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to salt and pepper cellars and more particularly to devices for holding condiments wherein several receptacles are arranged and combined as one device as will be more fully described in the following s ecification, set forth in the claims and il ustrated in the drawings where itwill be" seen that like reference characters are used to designate the same parts in the several figures.

Figure 1 is an elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the two receptacles se arated. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of ig. 1. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the device. Fig. 5 is a detail view of,

Fig. 1.

Numerous attempts have been. made to combine a set of receptacles for condiments for use on the dining table but outside of the old style of table castors little has been done to combine several rece ta'cles so that one article may be employe to contain epper salt and mustard or vinegar, oil an sauce and at the same time to rovide a compact and ornamental device or the table. In the use of glass receptacles it has been found impossibleto comb ne these receptacles on account of the difliculty of blowing dividing walls to separate the compartments.

While but two receptacles are shown in the drawings it is obvious that more than that number ma be joined and the opposing faces proper y constructed to permit of their unio Y The device is formed with a central bead adjacent theop osed faces of the rece tacles, one half 0 the bead bein forme on one receptacle and the other ha f on the adjoining receptacle, and around this bead is a strip ofmetal curved to closely embrace the bead for effecting a more thorough union at the sametime producing an ornamental efi'ect when the. said strip is polished. Where'the .strip extends under the receptacles, it sets into a groove so as'to be flush with the bottom side of the condiment holder and a loop 18 is pivoted to the upper ends for the purpose of manipulating the device.

In the drawings it will also be observed that metal caps 19 are used on all the receptacles but where liquids are used in the receptacles any form of stopper may be ado ted.

' hat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letter Patent is:

1. A holder for condiments and the like comprisin a plurality of receptacles having opposed aces fitting and in contact with each other, a bead formed on the holder at the edges of the opposed faces and formed half on one receptacle and half on the ad joinin receptacle, a band extending about the ho der in the plane of the bead and overlapping the same to hold the opposing faces in contact, the ends of the band being bent out parallel to each other and perforated, a handle loop having a perforated attach; ing portion, and a connection passing throu h the perforation in said loop portion and t e ends of the band to hold the same together and to draw the band tightly about the receptacle.

2. A holder for condiments or the like comprisin a plurality of receptacles having opposed aces arranged in contact, a' bead extending around the sides and top of the holder and formed half on one receptacle and half on the other, saidholder having a groove in its bottom alining with the bead, a band extending around the holder and having a concave inner surface for embracing both halves of the bead to secure the receptacle together, the band extending across the bottom ot the holder and set into n testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
