I, HUGO OSCAR DAHMS Watchmaker, a Citizen of Australia, residing at 105 Oxford
Street Sydney, County of Cumberland and in the Colony of New South Wales do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a Combination of a Measure and a Funnel, for pouring
liquids into a bottle.
"The objects of my invention are:
First, Cleanliness.
Second, the saving of time, and
Third, the prevention of Waste.
I attain these objects by the Mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing
of which-
Fig. I is the vertical section of the entire "measure funnel," while serving as a
Measure.
Fig. II is the vertical section of the entire " measure funnel," while serving as a
Funnel.
Fig. III is a front view of the same.
Fig. IV represent the action of the opening and closing plug.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
A. is the Measure, which is closed by means of plug C.
B. B. are arms, which connect plug Č. with plate E.
G. G. are guides, which keep the arms B. B. in proper position and make them
work exactly perpendicular.
F. F. is a spring and H. is the pipe of the funnel.
C. in Fig. IV is the bare plug and I. is an india rubber band, which surrounds
plug C. and makes it fit air and water-tight into the socket D. D.
After filling the measure A, the pipe H. is put into the bottle, until plate E. rests

thereby lifting plug C. from its socket D. D. (in consequence of it being connected
with plate E by the arms B B.) thus allowing the fluid to pass from the measure
through socket D. D. and pipe H. into the bottle, as shown in Fig. II.
As soon as the measure is lifted out of the bottle, plug C. will be forced back into
its socket D. D. by means of spring F. F. and assume its original, position again, as
shown in Fig. I.
An Improved Measuring Funnel.
I, HUGO OSCAR DAHMS, Watchmaker, a citizen of Australia, residing at 105 Oxford
Street, Sydney, county of Cumberland, and in the colony of New South Wales, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to a combination of a Measure & a Funnel for pouring liquids
into a bottle, as shown by drawings sent in with provisional specification.
Fig. 1. is the vertical section of the entire Measure Funnel, while serving as a
Measure.
Fig. II. is the vertical section of the entire Measure Funnel, while serving as a
Funnel.
Fig. III. is a front view of the same.
Fig. IV. represents the action of the opening and the closing of plug-similar
letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
A. is the measure which is closed by means of plug C.
B B. are arms which connect plug C with plate E.
G G. are guides which keep the arms B B. in proper position and make them
work exactly perpendicular.
F. F. is a spring & H. is the pipe of the Funnel.

page_text: C in Fig. IV is the bare plug and I is an Indiarubber band which surrounds
plug and makes it fit air & watertight into the socket D D.
After filling the measure A, the pipe H. is put into the bottle until plate E rests on
the head of the same, when a slight pressure will force it further in the bottle, thereby
lifting plug ( from its socket 1 D. in consequence of it being communicated with
plate E by the arms B B. thus allowing the fluid to pass from the measure through
socket D D. and pipe H. into the bottle as shown in Fig. II.
As soon as the measure is lifted out of the bottle, plug C will be forced back into
its socket D D by means of spring F. F. and assume its original position again as
shown in Fig. I. thus showing the mechanism of closing the outlet by means of a
plug which is surrounded by Indiarubber and a spring.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is-
