SUGAR DISPENSER AND STRAINER Filed May 2, 1947 w13' BY IITTOQNEY Patented Mar. 13, 1951 UNITED STATES ATENT OFFICE SUGAR' -DSPENSER AND STRAINER Edward Patoe, New York, N. Y. Application May 2, 1947, Serial No. 745,425
8 Claims. 1`
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in spills or dispensers -ior granulated material such as sugar. The type of dispenser t which the invention is well adapted to be applied is the familiar one wherein the body of the 'dis` penser is substantially cylindrical and has a -flat bottom,A and there is a conical upper portion ter-r minating at its top in -a spill opening through which the sugar or the likefis dispensed when th dispenser is inverted. Y
The principal vobject-of the invention is vto-provide anovel and valuable means within the dispenser for insuring that when the latter is inverted for spi-ll dispensing, the -spill opening will not then be clogged by lumps of the granular material to be dispensed. As is the common ex'- perience, a store of sugar in a dispenser or other container becomes lumped due to moisture absorption and the pressure of its vown weight.
A further object is to provide an arrangement of parts such tha-tsaid means functions for 'break ing down lumps whenever the dispenser is handled in the -usual way for spill dispensing.
Another object is to provide a lump 'breaking means as above with which is associated a straining or sifting means, and which as to its lump breaking and straining or sifting parts is cona tained wholly Within the spill dispenser.V
A further object is to provide said means so constituted that the parts last referred to operate entirely within the spill dispenser.l .A
Still a further object is to provide a means as above which is of simple and rugged construction, yet easy to manufacture and hence inexpensive to fabricate. K
In attaining the objects of the invention, the lump breaking and straining or sifting means is preferably employed in connection with a spill dispenser of the conventional type, that is, one including a cylindrical closed body with readily removable top or bottom members, land with oneY or both of these members carrying devices for mounting and guiding the lump breaking and straining or sifting elements for movement in are actuated bygravity to `fall down' along the legsof the U s, and when the spill is again placed up= right they again traverse the legs of tne'ns. Use of the Spill, therefore, is adapted to Gnse constantly changing relation between the dises and their moun gs, thus to agitato and break up lumpsin the sugar contained in the spill to "p otvide unclumped sugar granules, and to strain or sift the latter from any lumps not broken up by said projections or the crush-ing ladtioli of the discs".
In 'another preferred form of the invention, a plurality of such discs aren securedat intervals along a rod which is slidable relative Vto another disc secured ifplace inside the top coi/'eroff the spill. The latterdisc assists va. specially construc'it` ed bottom cover of the spill in slidably' mounting the rod. said cover is formed with an upwardly extending chamber entered by the bottom portion of the rod, where the rod carries a weight.
Upon lifting the spill preparatory to usiig' same, the weight causes the rod to move 'in 'a direction tol send all the discs on the rod down through the sugar, and upon replacing 'the `spill upright on its bottom, said discs 'are again yforced through the sugar.
Ae'eor'ding to still another preferred ff'rir'i or tine invention, a pair' of cooperating discs, with per` rotations and projections as above, raetcoiointly pursuant to the invention; one of these dises being secured to a preferably readily removable bot part for the s'pill or dispenser and the other yo'elngy revolvable along a rod fiXedly upstaiiding from said bottom part. In this arrangement, yeach time the dispenser is placed uprighton its loot-i tom (as after spil-1 dispensing, thereby to send the last-mentioned disc by its own weight to the 'end of the rod remote from sai-d bottom cover) said lastementioned dise, thisY time also by its own' weight, descends toward the bottom of the'dis'- penser, to break up lumps of the material in the latter.
Theprojeetions on the disc a-re preferably conical ones having fairly sharp points. 45
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andk advantages thereof, refer'- ence Will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the 'appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly' set forth.
In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this' disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of 'one Aof the preferred forms of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but showing another of the preferred forms, of the invention.
Fig. 4 is a transverse section, taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Referring first in detail to the arrangement i1- lustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the improved sugar spill I is here shown as comprising a substantially cylindrical body I I of glass, plastic or other transparent material. The body II is formed at either end with the circumferential threads I2 for the ready attachment of a top cover I3 and the bottom cover I4.
'The top cover I3 has, conventionally, a frustoconical shell formed with the usual upper spill opening I6 and the threads I'I for engagement with the threads I2 of the body I I.
A circular disc I5, secured to and within the top cover I3 at the base of the main conical portion thereof by solder or by other means so as completely to close and overlie the top opening of thebody I I, is formed with a plurality of like perforations I9 uniformly placed over the disc, and interspersed at locations adjacent said perforations, said disc is provided with conical projections 26 which project downwardly from its upper surface.
A U-shaped bracket 2I is secured to the disc I and extends downwardly therefrom into body II, the free ends of the legs 22 of the bracket being riveted or upset relative to said disc; the legs 22 being joined at their lower ends by the bight portion 23 of the U-shaped bracket 29. A floating circular disc 24 is slidably mounted on the legs 22 of bracket 2|, and this disc has perforations 25 and conical projections 26, these last directed toward disc I5. It will be noted that projections 26 are staggered relative to projections 26 so that as the disc 24 is sliding along the legs 2I approaches disc I8, the tips of the projections 26 of the disc I5 may come very close to the disc 24 and the tips of the projections 26 may come very close to the disc I5.
rIvhe bottom cover I4 is a shallow cup member having an upstanding skirt or cylindrical side wall formed with threads at 21 for engagement 'with the threads I2 at the bottom of the body II. The upper or inside face of the bottom floor wall of cup I4 is provided with the substantially conical projections 28. Secured to the cup I4 and extending upwardly therefrom is a second inverted U-shaped bracket 29, the legs 30 of which have their lower or free ends riveted or upset relative to the cup I4; the legs 30 being joined at their upper ends by the bight portion 3I of the U-shaped bracket 29. The oating circular disc 32 Vis slidably mounted on the legs 30 of the bracket 23, and this ldisc has perforations 33 and conical projections 34, these projections, also, being staggered relative to the projections 28.
In operation, when the sugar spill is inverted, Y
the floating discs 24 and 32 will move by gravity from the positions illustrated in Fig. 2 in full lines to the positions shown in broken lines in that view, saiddiscs then acting as lump breakers and also as strainers or sifters for free granules. Constant sliding of the discs 24 and 32 through the body of .the sugar contained in body II will operate continually to break up lumps of sugar which may have formed. The projections 20 and 26 will coact, and at the same time the projections 28 and 34 will coact, and thus likewise operate'to break up lumps.
In the modified form of the invention shown in Figs. I3 and 4, the improved sugar spill is here shown as including a substantially cylindrical body 4I of glass, plastic or other transparent material, topped by a cover 42 of frusto-conical shape having a spill opening 43. The cover 42 has the threaded portion 44 adapted removably to engage the threads 45 on body 4I.
Secured within the upper'cover 42 is a circular Adisc 46, extending across and closing the upper end of the cylindrical body 4I. The disc 46 is provided with perforations 41 and downwardly extending conical projections 48.
The bottom cover 49 is a shallow cup, having an upstandingA skirt or cylindrical side wall formed with the threads 50 for engagement with the threads 5 I on the body 4 I.
At its central portion the cup 49 is provided with an upwardly extending open-bottomed cham-ber 52, through the roof wall of which chamber the lower end of a rod 53 is slidably guided; the upper end of said rod being guided in the sleeve 54 carried by and depending from the disc 46.
Within the body 4I are a plurality of circular discs 55 and 58, these secured to the rod 53 at spaced points therealong. Each of said discs is provided with perforations 59 and intervening conical projections, those marked 60 projecting upwardly and those marked 6I projecting downwardly from their respective discs. Y In the present case, the projections on one disc are aligned with the projections which from an adjacent disc are directed toward the former disc.
` With the dispenser upright, as in Fig. 3, the lower end of the rod 53, which is threaded at 62, is contained in the chamber 52; and to such threaded part of the rod a weight 63 is secured, by means of an internal thread in the weight. The weight 63, which desirably is cylindrical, as is the interior of the chamber 52, has a flat bottom, so that with the dispenser upright the weight will be completely housed in the chamber 52, and, the position of the weight as it rests on its said flat bottom, determines the elevation of the rod 53 in the container.
To restrain down movement'of the rod 53 in the body 4I to a predetermined extent, certain of the projections 6I depending from the lowermost disc58 are relied on to accomplish this, by engagement of the points'of these projections with the upper surface of the roof wall of the chamber 52, when, on lifting the dispenser, the weight 63 is free tofdrop to its broken'line position 63. The sleeve 54 is of a length such that after the weight 63 has dropped all the way, permitted as `claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
