SIRUP PIY'IGHER Filed March 18. 1931 7 I n venior Eugene flabmsam A llomey Patented Nov. 22, 1932 A uirsn s'rars EUGENE ROBINSON, F LEVEL LAND, SOUTH CAROLINA SIRUP IPITGHER Application filed March 18, 1931. Serial No. 523,554.

This invention relates to an improved pitcher for sirup and the like, the general object of the invention being to provide a pitcher which can be easily and quickly cleaned and washed and one which will prevent the sirup or the like from dripping from the spout and running down the sides of the pitcher.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is an elevation with parts in section.

Fig. 2 is a. top plan view with the cover removed.

In these views, the numeral 1 indicates the body of the pitcher which is provided with the usual handle 2, and the upper part is reduced as at 3 and this reduced part merges into a cylindrical flange 4 which is internally screw threaded. The opening formed by the flange is made large enough to permit the hand to pass into the body so that the same can be readily washed.

A cylindrical neck part 5 is threaded at its lower end to fit into the threaded part of the flange 4, and the upper end of this part 5 slopes downwardly from its front part to the rear part as shown at 6. A spout 7 is con nected with the upper edge of the part 5, by a curved part 8 which forms a trough between the part 5 and the top of the neck and this trough has a perforation. or hole 9 in the bottom part of its rear portion so that the sirup or the like entering the trough will flow down the same when the pitcher is in upright position, and passes through the perforation 9 back into the body 1.

The top part of the spout is curved downwardly and rearwardly as shown at 10, so that the front part forms a pouring spout. A substantially dome-shaped cover 1 is hingedly connected to the rear portion of the part 5, as shown at 12 and the lower portion of the cover 11 is shaped to snugly fit the edge 6 of the part 5. The hinge 12 is provided with a finger piece 13 which is arranged adjacent the handle 2, so that by pressing upon the finger piece 13 by the thumb of the hand grasping the handle 2, this cover can be raised.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that I have provided a pitcher for sirup or the like in which the drip from the spout will enter the trough 8 and flow down the same to the hole 9 through which the sirup will pass back into the body. The parts can be readily cleaned by removing the part 5 from the flange t as all the parts are made large enough to admit the hand of the person washing the pitcher and the trough 8 is made large enough so that the finger can be drawn around the same to wash the same.

It is thoughtfrom the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is A pitcher of the class described comprising a body part having a reduced upper end forming a large opening and an internally threaded flange around the opening, 85 a neck portion threaded to the flange and having its upper end sloping downwardly and rearwardly, a spout having its upper and lower ends sloping downwardly and rearwardly from the front part thereof with the lower end bent outwardly into substantially semi-circular shape to provide 'a trough, the outer edge of which is connected to the upper end of the neck, said trough having a hole in the bottom of its rear part, and a substantially dome-shaped cover hingedly connected at its rear to the rear part of the neck and having its lower edge sloping downwardly and rearwardly to engage the upper edge of the neck with the cover closing the trough when in closed position.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

EUGENE ROBINSON.
