coNDrivrENT-HOLDER.

Specivcation of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 6, 1910.

Application filed January 29, 1910. Serial No. 540,812.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLARK F. RIGBY, a resident of Butler, in the county of Butler and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Condiment-Holders, of which the following is a specication.

The object of this invention is to provide a. convenient and compact two-chamber condiment holder for salt and pepper, either of which may be dispensed without discharging the other.

The invention'consists in so constructing and assembling the parts as to present a convenient and attractive article which may be manufactured at small cost and which will do the double duty for which it is designed in an efficient manner.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal section of the improved holder, and Fig. 2 is a similar view of the outer casing and end caps. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the inner chamber and its cap. l

Figs. 4 and 5 are end elevations.

Referring to the drawings, 2 designates a cylindrical outer shell or casing adapted to rest on its side, and if round as here shown, may be formed with base 2. In the present adaptation, both ends of shell 2 are open, eing provided with removable caps 3 and 1, formed with central openings 3 4, respectively, to receive the inner bottle-like chamber or cell 5. Caps 3 and I are flanged to embrace the extremities of shell 2 as shown, and cap 3 is preferably countersunk. At the closed end of body 5 is head or enlargement 6, shaped to fit the countersunk face of cap 3 around opening 3, and body 5 is of suflicient length to project through cap 4 with its end threaded externally to receive the perforated cap 7, with base 7 of the cap bearing against cap 4. By this means the several parts are securely fastened together.

Chamber 5 -may be conveniently used for pepper and the larger' outer chamber formed by casing 2 for salt, and for dispensing the latter cap 3 is preferably perforated around its upper portion, as indicated at 8, so that when the holder is resting on the table or other support the salt will not spill out. To insure so assembling these perforations uppermost, the extremity the parts as to place of shell 2 may be formed with an indentation 9 to receive lug l0 on the cap.

lVhen salt is being dispensed, the perforated discharge 7 of the pepper chamber is uppermost, while the reverse is true when the holder is tipped to discharge pepper. The chamber-forming shells are preferably glass though they may be formed of other material.

IVhile I have shown and described the invention in its preferred embodiment, the same may be varied Without departing from the spirit of the appended claims.

I claim:

l. A condiment holder consisting of two chamber-forming bodies one within the other, the outer body having openings through opposite walls, and an inner body secured in said openings.

2. A condiment holder comprising two bodies one within the other, removable heads for the outer body formed with openings with the inner body extending through said openings and holding the heads in place.

3. A condiment holder comprising two bodies one within the other, removable heads for the outer body formed with openings with one of the heads perforated, the inner body extending through said openings and enlarged at one end to engage the outer surface of one of said heads, and a perforated cap secured to the other end of the. inner body and engaging the other head of the outer body.

4. A condiment holder comprising two bodies one within the other, a removable head for one end of the outer body with an opening through said head and through the opposite wall of the outer body, the inner body extending through said openings with an enlargement at one end engaging the outer surface of said removable head, and a cap removably secured to the opposite end of the inner body and engaging the corresponding end of the outer body.

5. A condiment holder comprising a shelllike outer body, removable heads therefor formed with openings and withvone of said heads countersunk and perforated, and an inner bottle-like body extending through said openings with an enlargement at they closed end thereof engaging the outer surface of the countersunk head, and a perforated cap rsecured to the op'pote end of the ing 2L perforated outlet at the end opposite bottle-like body and engaging the other the outer easing outlet. 10 head of the outer easing. In testimony whereof I affix my signature 6. A condment holder comprising an in presence of two Witnesses.
