COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Salt-sprinkling Vessel for Household, Hotel, or like
Purposes.
I MAX SPIELDIENER of 6, Charlottenstrasse Stuttgart in the Empire of
Germany, Machinery Agent 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 :-
This invention consists essentially in a vessel for sprinkling food with the
necessary salt in hotels, households and the like, for which purpose the salt is no
longer, as hitherto, taken from an open vessel, or from one provided with a hinged
removable or other lid, but from one outwardly resembling an ordinary pepper-mill
caster. In this vessel there lies a second preferably cylindrical vessel for holding
the salt itself and from which the salt is removed by the rotation of a spindle
provided with vanes or wings, these vanes running in the inner vessel which is
provided with inclined slots, and, when rotated, press the salt through these slots
and thereby pulverise it, whereupon it falls out freely.
In the accompanying drawings:
-
Figure 1 is an elevation of the salt pot:
Figure 2, a vertical and
Figure 3, a horizontal section of the same.
A cylindrical or otherwise suitably shaped vessel E, open above, made of sheet
metal or other suitable material, is inserted in a vessel A which is preferably made
of wood. The lower part of this vessel E has inclined, or, if desired, otherwise
shaped narrow slots e. The lower part of the wood vessel A is widened inside as
far up as the slots e extend in order to render it possible for the salt forced out of
these slots to escape from the vessel A. The latter is closed at top by the lid or
cap B, which is revolubly retained on the vessel A by means of the spindle d with
screw C, but is not adjustable longitudinally on the same. On the lower stouter
part d' of the spindle d are vanes D, by means of which the salt is forced through
the slots e. A crosspiece fis fixed in the vessel A between it and the lid B, or is
attached to the vessel E. This crosspiece serves as guide for the upper thin part d
of the spindle which is passed through it, whilst the thicker part d' presses against
it and thus the spindle and the wings are retained in their position in the vessel E.
The crosspiece is small enough to allow of salt being inserted in the vessel E
between the crosspiece and the side of the vessel ▲ after the lid or cap has been
removed.
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 :-
An improved salt-sprinkling vessel for household, hotel or the like purposes,
consisting of an outer vessel having a revoluble and removable lid or cover, a
second vessel within the said outer vessel made of sheet metal or other suitable
material open at the top and serving for containing the salt, a spindle fixed to the
revoluble cover and descending into the inner vessel, and vanes or wings attached
to said spindle, the salt being forced through narrow slots in the lower part of the
inner vessel by means of the vanes when the cover is revolved, whereby the salt is

described and illustrated.
