I hi inv on r at to a nsin bo tl o e t in and mo e Parti lar y to a bottle for holding extractsyand flavors-such as are used in cooking, and of which a small ti quantity is used at a time owingto theirstrength. The invention is especially adapt- V able for use in a kitchen cabinet, where a number of'these containers may be secured in the ,cabinetbya suitable rack or clamp,

lo whereby they can be readily removed for] fil g a d clean ng, t o no ve-t be removed for use, as they are provided with an openingin the lowerend through which the contents is dispensed .byhthe admission 7 of air through a valvein the top, in such a manner that the liquid is delivered drop by drop or in larger quantities, and the face of the container may be provided with suitable marks or graduations indicating such as teaspoonfuls.

The object of the invention is to provide a dispensing bottle or container, that shall be simple, easily cleaned and filled and positive in its action.

7 7 Another object being to provide means whereby all loss through drip is prevented and change in the strength of the liquid through evaporation, as the container is air tight.

With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in certain construction and combination of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which like figures of reference refer to 7 corresponding parts in all of the views, and it is fully understood that slight changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation, showing a number of the containers secured together by one form of clamp which may be attached to the door or other part of a kitchen cabinet.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view, showing the manner of securing the top and drip cup to the bottle.

The pp end o lsaid hot le :10 is formed with a neck 11, provided with the external view o th threa 1 t qhol t e. S rew cap vl3, .or

said cap 13' may. be held jthereon in some ,15 other suitable manner,jbut it mustr'be ren- 1 re ai igh y th washer 1e. 1

Said top cap 13 is formed with a central lb-Q 1. p OVided with an .Orifice, threaded h -f llppQ -fill for he valvescrewglii and 0 YY a e :lowerend'wi h iul yeseat 17 for the e dl p in (Of S id valve screw 1.61; and there is also provided .Qneor mQreventslS allowing air to {enter the [valve seat, zthe amount admitted being, controlled by said valve or needle point. a The lower end of the bottle '10, :is formed witha .neck hayingfa Small discharge open- .ing :19 and anencircling beador flangeBO,

uponwhich is ,crimpeda cap member- 21 a which is formed with akhole z22ato register with the discharge opening- 19;

For closing th's .dischargeioPening :19 and preventing loss of .the liqui'dthrou h drip, whilenotv iniuse, there ispprovide a V a drip cap 23 which is formed with a hinge member 2&jcoacting with ,a similar-member forme on th oap m on-berm and held with e P 1 5 3 While the o hers of sa d drip reap 2. proriele i ar a- 1 meager eparate a? v a curved portion 27 adapted to snap on the rounded edge of the cap member 21; while a washer 28 is secured in the drip cap 23 to render the device air tight.

For indicating at a glance the quantity of liquid to be delivered, the bottle 10 may be provided with the marks or graduations 30, indicating the desired amount such as drains, ounces, teaspoonfuls; also the name of the contents may be indicated on the side of the cap as at 31.

As shown in Figure 1, a number'of these bottles or containers may be mounted together as on the inside of a door of a cabinet by a clamp 32, bent to embrace the neck of each bottle and being secured in a detachable manner to the cabinet by the thumb screws 33. In the operation of the device, the containers having been filled with the extracts or flavors from the original bottles, the cover cap 13 is screwed down tight and the valve screw 16 turnedto close the valve.

Should only a few drops of the liquid be required, the drip cap 23 is released by the finger, V and the valve screw 16 is turned slightly to admit a small amount of air which will allow the liquid to be discharged drop by drop.

Should a larger amount be required, the valve screw 16 is turned to more fully open the valve, allowing a greater amount of air to enter, whereupon the liquid will be discharged in a greater amount; and, by watching the level of the liquid in the bottle being lowered from mark to mark, the required amount will be indicated.

In Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, I have illustrated my'preferred form of rack for mounting the bottles to the back of a door 35 of a kitchen cabinet, and this rack comprises, a pair of mounting bars 40 secured to the door v35 by the screws 41,'and secured to these bars 40 by the rivets 44 are a series of Vertical securing members 42 which are formed with the bent over edges 43 to form a guide way; and near the upper end thereof and in the back is provided a cut out portion 45, while the lower end of said members 42 is closed.

The bottle 10 is formed with an encircling shoulder 50, and in contact with the lower surface thereof to support the bottle is placed a pair of spring arms 47 and 48; the arm 48 being provided with a finger grip 49 by which the bottle may be moved up or down.

"The rear ends of the spring arms 47 and 48 with a neck 46' of the proper width to pass between the edges of the sides 43, and the rear of this neck is provided with a head 51 which is adapted to slide within the guide Way.

finger grip 49 and the head 51, pushed throughthe opening 45 so that the neck will rest upon the edge of the back 42; and when it is desired to lower the bottle to bring it near the table top, the same is slightly raised to disengage it from the opening 45 and is then brought forward to enter the head 51 in the guide way, and is then lowered to the bottom of the guide.

There is a space between the ends of the arms 47 and 48 so that the indicating marks 30 on the bottle may be seen.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A. dispensing bottle, comprising a container formed with a discharge opening on one end, an air tight cap secured on the other end, a valve in said cap for admitting air as desired, and a drip cover secured to the lower end of said container.

2. A dispensing bottle, comprising a container formed with a discharge opening at its lower end and a filler opening at its upper end, a drip cap hinged to the lower end and adapted to close the discharge opening, a cap secured to the'upper end in an air tight manner, and an air valve mounted in said cap.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
