SHAKER CAP Filed Oct. 3, 1934 "mm/.waw
ATTokNEY Patented Dec. 17, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application October 3,
1 Claim.
The invention relates to a cap for receptacles and more especially to condiment holder caps.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a cap of this character, wherein the discharge openings therein can be maintained unobstructed, so that condiments, especially salt, can be dispensed therefrom freely, the cap in its entirety being of novel construction.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a cap of this character, wherein the samecarries a scraper which functions to clean away substance adhering to the cap at the inner side. thereof and at the openings or perforations therein to satisfy free dispensing through the cap when applied to a receptacle.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a cap of this character which is simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and effective for its purpose, operating as an agitator for the contents of a holder or receptacle, strong, durable, and inexpensive to manufacture.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a cap constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a side view thereof as applied to a condiment holder.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 44 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of the turning piece of the cleaner medium for the cap.
- Figure 6 is a side elevation thereof.
Figure '7 is a plan view of a washer used with the cleaner medium.
Figure 8 is a side elevation of the cleaner medium.
Figure 9 is a top plan view of the cap with the cleaner medium removed.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, [0 indicates generally the body of the condiment holder, which may be of any shape desired and formed from any suitable material, in this in- 1934, Serial No. 746,730
stance being of circular shape and provided with a threaded circular neck ll. Engageable upon the neck II is the cap embodying the present invention and hereinafter fully described.
The cap comprises an inverted cup-shaped 5 member forming a removable top and includes the perforated body I2 having a screw-threaded rim 13 which detachably engages the threaded neck I I of the body ID in the detachable mounting of the cap thereon. The body I2 is formed 1 with a plurality of concentrically disposed grooves or channels I4 and has the perforations [5 arranged in circular series in the top of each groove or channel I4.
Mounted for rotation within the body ll] of 15 the holder is an agitating element or a cleaning medium 16 which is of substantially T shape formation to provide the cross piece ll which, at its upper edge, carries the lips N3 of a shape corresponding to the grooves or channels l4 and received therein. The cross piece, at its center, is formed with a tongue l9 fitting in a circular clearance or opening 22 therefor as provided in the body l2, this clearance or opening being centrally of the same. Disposed exteriorly of the cap and straddling the same is an inverted U-shaped turning piece 2! with which is secured the tongue i9, while interposed between the piece 2l and the body H of the cap and countersunk in the latter at its center is a washer 22, so that the said piece 2| will be raised the required distance to not be interfered with by the tops of the grooves or channels 14 when said piece is manually turned for actuating the agitator and also to have the lips l8 function to clean the grooves or channels of sediment, so that the perforations l5 will be clear for the free dispensing of the contents of the body If] in the use of the cap. The ends 23 of the piece 2| are disposed slightly beyond and parallel with the rim 43 of the cap, so that they can be grasped by the fingers when it is desired to turn the agitator It, as should be apparent.
What is claimed is:
The combination with a condiment holder, of a shaker cap having spaced concentrically disposed perforated grooves thereon, a substantially T-shaped agitating element rotatably mounted within the holder and of substantially rectangular formation in cross section, the stem of said element being disposed centrally of the holder with the cross piece arranged immediately beneath said cap, teeth projecting from one edge of the cross piece and adapted to traverse said perforations when the element is rotated, a turning member arranged exteriorly of the cap and extended downwardly at diametrically opposite points with relation to said cap, a
center stud on the element and passed loosely through the cap and secured to the turning member, and a washer countersunk in the cap
