UNITED STATES GEORGE E. BALLJOF BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO WHITING MANUFAC- TUBING-v QOMPANY, OF BRIDGEPORT,
YORK.
CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF NEW BEVERAGE MIXER.
Application filed April 13, 1923. Serial No. 681,799.
10 ed to receive the liquids to be mixed and to be shaken to produce the required thorough mixture, and the object of the invention is to provide a device of this character in which the introduction of the contents, and
15 the shaking, straining and pouring operations are easily performed without danger of waste or damage by leakage.
Another important object is to provide means for sealing the container against the 20 escape of the contents during the shaking operation, and for readily releasing the seal to permit the liquid contents to be poured without removing any of the parts of the container.
The invention consists in certain novel features and details of construction and arrangement by which the above objects are attained, to be hereinafter described and claimed.
The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification and show the invention as it has been carried out in practice.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a mixer or shaker embodying the invention.
Figure 2 is a corresponding front elevation.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the container neck and immediately adjacent parts, with the cover removed. 1.
Figure 4 is a vertical central-section taken on the line 4.-4 in Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a plan view of the under face of the cover alone.
The remaining figures are on a larger scale.
Figure 6 is a front elevation of the cover, showing the straining perforations.
Figure 7 is a vertical section through the neck of the container, partly in elevation 0 and showing a series of apertures arranged neck of the container, partly in elevation and showing an air-opening adapted to coact with such air-vent.
Similar reference numerals indicate the same parts in all the figures.
The body of the container is marked 10 and is preferably'of thin metal having a slightly tapered annular neck 11 flared upwardly and outwardly. At the junction of the neck with the body the latter is contracted inwardly to form an annular shoulder or seat 12, and. on the seat, shown as at the rear of the neck, is a narrow upwardly projecting lug 13.
On the front of the neck is a pouring lip 14 curved upwardly and outwardly and in the neck within the lip 14; is aseries of apertures 15 for, the escape of'liquid in the straining and pouring operation. A handle 16 is shown extending from the neck to the body at the rear, by which the container may be conveniently held.
The cover is marked 17 and is shown as a hollow plug of thin metal having a depending tapered annular flange or bezel 18 matching snugly to the interior of the neck 11, and having its upper portion domed and shaped to be conveniently grasped by the hand for removal or for partially r0.- tating the bezel relatively to the neck.
The bezel 18 is of such depth as to rest upon the seat 12 when the cover is in proper frictional engagement with the neck, and is provided with a long notch at 19,shown as extending a little more than one quarter of the circumference, and matching the lug 13, the vertical edges of the bezel at the ends of the notch serving with the lug as stops 20 and 21 to strike the lug and limit the partial revolutions or oscillations of the cover in both directions.
The contact of the lower edge of the bezel with the seat 12 determines the degree of frictional engagement of the bezel with the neck, and any looseness due to wear on the contacting surfaces of the bezel and neck will be compensated by corresponding wear between the edge of the bezel and the seat, which permits the bezel to sink a little lower withinthe neck and thus maintain the desired snug fit between the tapered surfaces.
The materials to be mixed are introduced by removing the cover 17 which is then replaced with the la 13 received in the notch 19 of the bezel, t us insuring proper in- -tact with the solid sertion, and is turned until the sto at 20 strikes the lug; in this position t e perforations 22 and air-vent 23 lie in conportions' of the neck 11 and the container is reliably sealed and with light pressure of the operators han upon the cover to prevent it from becoming unseated, the contents may be safely shaken as required to effect the desired mixing. The cover is then partially rotated until the stop 21 strikes the lug 13 in which position the perforations 22 register with the apertures 15 and the air-vent 23 coincides with the air-opening 24. The liquid contents may then be poured from the li 14, becoming strained in passing throug the perforations 22 and apertures 15, by which any pieces of solid matter, as cracked ice, are retained; and the coincident airvent 23 and air-opening 24: admit air to insure a steady uninterrupted flow from the li The taper of the bezel and neck should be slight but sufiicient to permit the cover to be removed readily, while also so truly cylindrical as to secure close contact of the -contiguous surfaces to insure a tight seal and to maintain the strong frictional engagement necessary to prevent accidental loosening of the cover when the container is violently agitated in the shaking operation.
Modifications may be made in the forms and proportions, and parts of the invention may be used without the whole. The handle 16 may be omitted.
The improved mixer is neat and attractive in appearance, is simply and economically constructed in two parts, and is eminently efiicient in operation.
I claim 1. In a device of the character set forth,
a container having a tapered neck with an internal annular seat, and a cover having a bezel correspondingly tapered and fitted to said neck and adapted when resting upon said seat to form a liquid seal between the neck and bezel, the tapered walls of the neck and bezelhaving cooperating apertures for the discharge of the liquid, and
an air vent.
2. In a device of the character set forth, a container having a tapered neck with an internal annular seat, and a cover having a bezel correspondingly tapered and fitted to said neck and adapted when resting upon said seat to form a liquid seal between the neck and bezel, the tapered walls of the neck and bezel having cooperating apertures for the discharge of the liquid, and an air vent, and cooperating stop means on the cover and neck for limiting relative movement thereof.
3. In a device of the character set forth, a container having a tapered neck with an internal annular shoulder, a cover having a bezel correspondingly tapered and fitted to said neck and adapted when resting upon said shoulder to form a liquid seal between the neck and bezel, the tapered walls of the neck and bezel having cooperating apertures for the discharge of the liquid, and an air vent, and a pouring lip rigid with the neck of the container.
4. In a device of the character set forth, a container having a tapered neck with an internal annular seat, a cover having a bezel correspondingly tapered and fitted to said neck and adapted when resting upon said seat to form a liquid seal between the neck and bezel, the tapered walls of the neck and bezel having cooperating apertures for the discharge of the. liquid, and an air vent, said neck having a lug and the bezel having a notch cooperating therewith to limit relative rotary movement of'the cover and container.
In testimony that I claim the invention above set forth I affix my si nature hereto.
GEORGE E. BALL.
