Description

UNITED STATES PATENT onirica.
JOHN T. STAPLETON, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR'TO SANITARY RECEPTACLE TOP CO., LTD., OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
SALT AND PEPPER HOLDER.
Patented July 5, 1910.
Application filed November 18, 1909. Serial No. 528,686.
To all whom 'it may concerm' Be it known that I, JOHN T. STArLn'roN,
' a citizen of the United States, and residing clog up or be otherwise affected in such' manner as to prevent the use thereof in the operation of shaking or distributing the salt or pepper.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawin(r forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in whichz Figure l is a side View of a salt or pepper .A holder made according to my invention, the
top portion thereof being in section. Fig. 2 a bottom plan view of the cap of the holder.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a salt or pepper holder a which may be of the usual or anypreferred form, and which is provided with a cap b. In the form of construction shown, the top portion a2 of the holder is provided with a thread a3l and the cap b with a correspondingly threaded flange or rim b2, and with this construction the cap may be screwed onto the holder and detached therefrom when desired, or this connection may be made in any desired manner.
The top of the cap. b is flat and smooth on its under side, and said cap is provided with a plurality of circularly arranged perforations or apertures b3, and beneath the cap, or the top part thereof, is placed a slide c which is also circular in form and provided at regular intervals corresponding with the perforations or apertures b3 with upwardly directed projections c2 having laterally directed valve devices c?- adapted to close the perforations or apertures b3.
In one side of the cap is placed or secured a tube cl through which passes a radially movable plunger e, the outer end of which projects a short distance as shown at e2, and the inner end of which is secured to the slide o. One side part of the inner end of the plunger e is cut out longitudinally to form a recess e3 in which the slide c lits, and the inner endvportion of said plunger lies flat on the bottom of said slide and extends to about the middle thereof in the form of construction shown. Secured to the side of the cap b opposite the plunger e is a spring f which is bent to form a depending loopshaped portion f2 having an upwardly directed arm f,the end f* of which lits in a. recess in the inner end of that part ot' the plunger e which is secured to the slide c. The normal position of the slide c is that shown in Figs. l and 2, in which position the perforations or apertures b are securely closed, and in practice the holder a is filled, or partially filled, with salt or pepper as shown at g, and the cap b secured thereon and the device is ready for use. lVhenever it is desired to shakeout the salt or pepper the plunger e is forced inwardly and this operation moves the' slide c diametrically across the under surface of the top of the cap I) and opens the perforations or apertures b3. At this time the salt or pepper may be shaken out of the holder a in the usual manner, and when this operation is completed the pressure on the outer end of the plunger e is released and the spring f, or the arm f3 thereof, immediately forces said lunger back into the position shown in Figs. l and 2 and the perforations or apertures b3 are securely closed by the valve devices c3. The tube d through which the plunger e passes forms a stop for the slide c when the plunger e is moved outwardly by the spring f, or the arm f3 thereof, and said slide is normally held in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and all that is necessary to open the perforations or apertures b3 is to pressinwardly on the outer end c2 of the plunger e.
Wit-h this construction there is no danger of thel perforations or apertures b3 becoming clogged in any way and, in practice, the upwardly directed projections c2 with which the valve devices o3 are connected form agi- ,tators for the salt, or pepper, when" the device is inverted for use, and the said salt or pepper is free to circulate between the slide tions or apertures b3 clear of obstruction at all times. The sprin f also serves t0 hold the slide c, or the va ve devices c thereof,
in rm connection with the bottom surfaceof the top of the cap b as well as to return said slide to its normal position as shown in Fig. 1, after it has been forced out of said position by means of the plunger e.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. A salt or pepper holder provided with a removable cap having a fiat top with perforations or apertures formed in a circle therein, and a slide mounted in said cap below the top thereof and provided with upwardly directed projections having laterally directed valve devices adapted to close said perforations or apertures, and which press on the bottom of the top of said cap, said cap being also rovided with a radially arranged plunger w ich passes through one side thereof and is connected with said slide and opposite said plunger with a spring device which normally holds the valve devices seated on the bottom of the top of the cap and which also serves to force said slide in a direction opposite to that in which it is moved by the. plunger.
2. A device of the class described, comprising a holder provided with a removable cap having a flat top portion, said top portion being provided with perforations or apertures, a slide mounted in said cap and provided with upwardly directed rojections having laterally directed valve @vices adapted to close said perforations or apertures and to bear on the bottom of the top of the ca a tube secured in one side of the cap, a p unger passing through said tube and connected with said slide, and a spring secured in the opposite side of the cap an connected with said slide, said spring normally serving to force the slide upwardly and the valve devices against the bottom surface of the top of the cap and also to hold said slide against said tube.
3. A. device of the class described, comprising a holder having a removable cap provided with a fiat top having perforations or apertures formed therein, and a slide mounted in said cap below the top thereof and provided with upwardly directed projections having laterally directed valve devices adapted to bear on the bottom side of the top of the cap and to normally close said perforations or apertures, a plunger for moving said slidein one directlon and a spring device for moving it in the opposite direction.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of the subscribing witnesses this 17th day of November 1909.
