  • Patent number: 4767027
    Abstract: A multi-functional pouring spout for use on a container has a hollow tubular member pivotally mounted on a pair of brackets attached to a cap. The tubular member has a vertical position in which the lower end of the member is closed by the cap such that it functions as a measuring vessel. The member also has a tilted position in which the lower end communicates with the interior of the container through a hole in the cap to permit fluid in the member to be transferred into the container and to permit fluid to be poured from the container through the tubular member. The vertical position also causes an integral cover to close the hole in the cap.

  • Patent number: 4070820
    Abstract: This invention is a spring driven timer with primary and secondary time selection knobs rotating on a common center. The knobs are connected to a solid and a hollow concentric shaft, respectively, which in turn are connected to respective hammer mechanisms. When the primary knob is turned, a tab simultaneously turns the secondary knob to a desired longer time interval. Then the primary knob is set at a desired shorter time interval. When each knob (turned by a common clock mechanism) reaches the 0 time position, each respective hammer is impacted upon a single common bell. Two possible external embodiments of the device are presented.
