To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, DENNIs DILLON and HUGH J. WELSH, citizens of the United States, residents of Pittsburg,'in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in- Condiment-Holders;-and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

The invention pertains to a' condiment holder, and particularly to a holder adapted to contain separately, more than one species of condiments.

The ob'ect of our invention is to provide a novel an convenientholder wherein different condiments may be contained in separate compartments, from either of which the contents thereof may be, shaken while the contents of another compartment is-securely retained therein. And a further. object of our invention is to provide a holder wherein the opening of one compartment and the closing of another can be effected by a single movement. 26 In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a View in elevation, ofv a holder havingour invention connected thereto. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on lines 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3

is a lan view without a cap. j

T e reference numerals .in the followings ecification refer to similar parts in the d i'awings, in which is'a holder 5 having a partition 6 adapted to fit the inner diameter of the holder 5, its narrow sides bein formed 85 to suit the inner contour thereof to orm the com artments 7 and 8. In the upper end of the older are perforations 9, 10, each of which communicates with a diiierent compartment of the holder, and above the perfo- 40 rations is a cap 11 adapted to be slidably at tached to the'open end 12 of the holder to close the same. .Operatively'secured to the upper portion of the partition 6 is a small lever 13 which is suitably connected at each the other end of said links being attached to the slidable parts '16 and 17 which are secured to the small studs 18 and 19 slidably fitted in the grooves 20.
