HOLDER AND DISPENSER OF FLUIDS.

asPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 742,201, dated October 1903- Application filed April 16,1903.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, PHILIP LINDEMEYR, a resident of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful,

- the same.

The invention relates to vessels, and more particularly to a holder and dispenser of stenciling, canceling, rubber-stamp, and other inks and fluids. V

The object of the invention is to provide a vessel or holder that can be conveniently filled with viscous fluids, and consequently adapted for a restrictive discharge, the contents of the holder being agitated and mixed in the act of dispensing, also to provide a secure stopper to close the discharge-orifice in a cleanly, sure, andconvenient manner by a closing device adapted for use as an ink-distributer, and to perfect certain mechanical details.

, The invention'consists in the construction hereinafter described and pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a central longitudinal section of the improved holder and distributer. Fig. 2 includes the central section and plan of a nozzle reducing and dispensing disk. Fig.3 is a central longitudinal section of a nozzle separate from the holder. v r

Numeral 1 denotes the body of the holder, and 2 its filling-nozzle. The nozzle extends through the top of the holder only a sufficient distance to enable it to be secured thereto by solder.

3 indicates a perforated disk or plate fixed in the nozzle. The perforation 4 of the disk is adapted to discharge a portion of the contents of the holder when suitably manipulated. The nozzle 2 is fixed inthe top 10 by solder and extends through the holder onlya sufficient distance for this purpose in order to avoid any considerable ink-retaining'bag or space around the exterior of the foot of the nozzle, which is made of much larger diameter than the discharge perforation or opening 4, for the reason that the latter is required to discharge ink in quantities so small Serial No. 152.873. (No model.)

that its size must be too limited for charging the holder. The concavo-convex disk 3 isarranged with its concave side on the interior, and thereby guides the ink toward and 5, .the disk being slightly compressed in the operation and heldin place thereby. Any desired or usual means'for fixing or holding the disk in place may be used; but the means described is convenient both for the introduction and removal of the same. To remove the disk, a wire or other instrument may be inserted through a perforation 4. The disk' being fitted and .held in the groove of the bead as stated prevents escape of the contents .of the holder except through the nozzle 5, The bead rests upon the top of the-can and aids in securing the filling-nozzle thereto.

In practice the holder will be shaken endwise to discharge its viscous contents, and the specified construction insures that the disk will not be thereby displaced, although its removal when desired for filling the can is provided for. Preferably this perforation will be surrounded with a bur 6 or the like on the convex side, which will be seated in the lower surface of a cork 7, used to close the nozzle,

thereby'making a-secure closure. The cork fits the nozzle and is provided, preferably, with an enlarged part 8, of Wood, cork, or other material, of suitable size and form to serve as a handle for manipulating the cork A seat for the perforated disk is preferably a bead 5, formed in the metal of the nozzle and near its bottom. In assembling the nozzle and the body of the holder the bead will be made to rest on the top 10 of the holder and will be soldered thereon, the nozzle being entered in the opening in said top, whereby a firm connection may be made. The joint is strengthened by the head, which also provides a disk-seat, as stated. Mixed fluids, such as viscous inks, are liable to separate on standing and must be shaken before use; otherwise oil or other relatively light fluid will rise to the surface and be dispensed first, especially if the filling-orifice, which requires to be of a size suitable for viscous fluids, is used as a discharge-orifice.

By the use of a disk such as described provided with a relatively small discharge-orifice the amount that can be dispensed in a given time is positively restricted, and the manipulation of the holder necessary for such discharge agitates and mixes its contents. The disk being removable, provision is thereby made for conveniently refilling the holder. The disk bur entered in the lower surface of the nozzle-stopper and said stopper fitted in the nozzle effectually closes'the holder, and the stopper -handle provides that the stopper can be used as a distributor, as before stated. The holder may be made in such size as desired. The drawings illustrate a size larger than has been found convenient and suitable for use with ink.

I am aware that a can or receptacle for meat, fruits, and the like has been provided with a funnel depending from the can-top. Such construction is not suitable for an ink holder and distributor, since the contents adjacent the funnel of the can could not be utilized Without removing its top and for the further reason that the lower end of the funnel being contracted viscous ink could not be thrown into it and discharged with the certainty afforded by my conoavo convex disk having the perforation and a dischargenozzle on its upper or convex side.

Having described my invention, What I dispensing-orifice above the level of the top I of the holder, said disk being concavo-convex and made of spring material, said nozzle having a bead-groove filled by the edge of the disk sprung therein, and an elastic nozzle-stopper compressed on the orifice and provided With a handle for distributing ink.

3. In a holder and dispenser for fluids, a filling-nozzle provided with a separate disk having a relatively small centrally-situated dispensing-orifice above the level of the top of the holder, said disk being concavo-convex and made of spring material, said nozzle having a bead-groove filled by the edge of the disk sprung therein, and an elastic nozzle-stopper compressed on the orifice and provided with a handle for distributing ink, the handle being recessed to receive the same therein.

4. In a holder and dispenser of fluids, a filling-nozzle, a removable concavo-convex disk, means integral with the nozzle for positively and independently securing the disk against both outward and inward movement, and a discharge-nozzle on the concave outer side of the disk.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

PHILIP LINDEMEYR.
