UNTTED sTATEs PATENT orjiiloE.
J ELMER E. WGGDS, OF BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONS-HALF TO CHARLES A, HABE, OF BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA; i
FUNNEL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 28, 1911.
Application filed April 18, 1910. Serial No. 556,056.
To all whom it muy concern:
lle it known that l, ,EL-Mun lil. lli/',ooos, a citizen of the United States, residing atliakersiieid, in .the county of Kern and State of California, have invented certain new and useful llnproi-'einents in Funnels; and l do declare the followingl to be. a full, clear, and exact description ot the inven tion, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to uralte and use the saine.
'lhis invention relates to improvements in tunnels.
Une object ot the invention is to 'provide a -tunnel harinal uieans whereby7 the iiow ot liquid -tliereiiroin into a container' will be automatically stopped when the container is full.
Another object is to provide means whereby the liquid remaining in the tunnel atter the container is tilled is prevented .troni running' out. when the tunnel is re- .niored from the container;
lVith the foregoing' and other objects in View, the invention consists ot certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be more tulljy described and particularl)T pointed out in the appended elaiin.
ln the accompanying drawings: Figure l is u Vertical sectional View ot a tunnel coustructed in accordance with the invention and showing the same applied to the neck of a bot-tile. the valve of the tunnel beine` illustrated in open position to permit the discharge ot the contents of the saine. Fig. 2 is a Similar View taken at right angles to Fig. l showing the valve. ot the funnel in closed position.
Referring' more particularly to the drawings l. denotes the funnel which may be ot the usual or any desired shape and of any desired size. On the reduced end or discharge spout 2 ot the funnel is arranged a sleeve 3 of cork or other yielding material which will forni an air and tiuid tight en t@agement with said neck.
In the upper portion oit the tunnel is scoured a transversely disposed cross bar which is here shown and is preferably in the forni of a channel iron bar 4- the purpose ot which will be hereinafter' described. y
able distance below the discharge end or .spoutI ot the saure is a Vent tube 5 said tube haring secured to its unner end a tubular handle bar (3 with which the said tube 5 coniinunicates. Secured to the tube in suitable position to en ijagre with the upper portion of the discharge spout ot the funnel is a stopper 7. Arranged on the tube 5 between the lower side ot the cross bar i and a suitable stop arranged on the tube is a coiled spring` S the pressure ot which is e \:ertedv to torce the tube tiownwardl \7 and the stopper T into engagement with the spout oli the tunnel thus closing' the. lat-ter and preventinfr the discharge ot the liquid therefrom. Arranged in the tube is a stop piu 5) which when the stonner in closed position is disposed within the channel iron cross bar 4 and which when the tube is retracted against the tension of the spring; 8 to disengage the stopper from the spout of the funnel is adapted to be ei'igae'ed with the upper edges of the side flanges of the channel iron bar by turning` said tube therein. said pin thus holding' the tube and stopper in retracted position to pei-init the contents ot the tunnel to flow through the spout into the Container with which the tunnel is. enealaedV ln using' the funnel the spout and sleeve 2 thereon are engaged with the mouth or neck ot the bottle or container said sleeve thus forming a fluid tight and an airtight engagement with said inouth 0r neck. lilith the funnel in this position the Valve or stopper Y is arranged and held in a retracted position in the manner described after which the liquid may be poured in the funnel and will run therethrough into the bottle or container. `When the liquid in the container has reached the lower end of the tube 5 and thus closed the saine no more air can escape from the. container and the flow of liquid from the funnel to the container will be thus stopped. lt will be understood that in filling the bottle or container the air is forced therefrom by the rise of the liquid therein through the said tube 5 and the tubular handle. 6 so that when the liquid reaches the inner end of the tube the latter will be closed and further air prevented from passing out of the bottle as described. lWhen the flow of liquid from the funnel to the container has thus been stopped the Vent tube is turned to disengage the stop pin from the flanged side of the cross bar 4 thus permitting the spring to force the valve or stopper 7 down into engagel'nent with the funnel .apout thereby closing the sanne. tter the spout. of the `funnel has thns been cloned the latter may be renioved troni the eoi'itainer thunI filled and any liquid lett in the tunnel will be retained therein and may be. discharged therefrom into another Container after the funnel has been engaged therewith by again lifting; the tube and stopper.
lt Will thus be seen that by constructing a funnel as herein .shown and described the liquid passing' through the tunnel into (he container will be antoniatieidljif stopped when the naine haal reaehed a certain point in the noch of the container and that any liquid ren'iainiug in the. i"u11nel after the container han thus been tilled inay be. retained therein and the funnel ren'ioved troni the container to another receptacle into which the reinaii'iing liquid in the funnel may be discharged.
From the foregoing description taken in connect-ion with the aeeonipanying' dran-*ings the construction and operation of the invention will be readily nnderatood without 1e qiiiringj1r a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proliiortioi'i and the minor details of construction may be resiorted to Without departing from the prin- Ciple or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as defined A in the appended elailn,
llavii'ig thun deserihedany invention what. l' Claim is:
In a tunnel a discharge lspoutV having arranged thereon a flexible Sleeve adapt-ed to iorln an air and tiui'd tiglit closure with the inouth or neek ot.: a eontainer, a. Channel iron @rosa bar arranged in the ripper portion of aaid tunnel, said cross bar having 'formed therein a `guide ap -..rture a tubular Valve operating rod yilidably niouuted in Said aperture ot' the cross bar, a ntopper arranged on said rod and adapted to clone the'epout ot' the tunneh a coiled spring arranged on Said rod and adapted to projeet the naine for- \\fardly and the stopper into eioaed position.I a stop pin in Said tube adapted to be engaged with the 'tianloes of said Grone; bar wl'iereby the rod in held in retracted position and the wtopper thereby disengaged .iron'i the d isehare'e tube.Y and a tubular handle arranged on the upper end or' said rod.
In, testimony whereof I hare hereunto Set lny hand in presence of tufo Subeeribing witnessea.
