spout.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a pitcher of the character set forth having adjustable means associated therewith for holding said pitcher in the desired tilted position. r

A further object of the invention is the provision of a pitcher having diametrically opposed spouts wherein the spout passages are restricted and the passage of one of said spouts is larger than the passage in the other of saidspouts. j J 7 Other objects of the inventionaretoprovide a device of the character described that will be superior in point'of simplicity, inexpensiveness of-construction, positiveness of operation, and facility and convenience in use and general efficiency.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will, be made manifest in the following detail description and specifically pointed out in the appended claims reference is had to the accompanying drawingfor an illustrative embodiment of the: invention, wherein:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the pitcher and stand with portions of the pitcher broken away to more clearly illustrate the details of construction; i Fig.2isa in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion of the supporting stand taken on the,

line 33 of Fig. 1, showing the mechanism for securing the pitcher in the required tilted position. v a Referring to the accompanying drawing wherein similar reference characters designate similar parts throughout, the various figures described above adeopuately. illustrate my invention, and the following detailed description is commensurate with the above mentioned drawings in enablingan artisan plan view of the device-as shown 1929.

to construct and assemble thefconstituent parts of the same; Q 7

In carrying out my invention I make useof a pitcher designated by the reference numeral 5 having a cover 4, said pitcher being formed with diametrically: opposed spouts 6' and 7 integral with the bodyof sai'd pitcher." A band 8extends around the body ofthe-pitcher 5 beneath the spouts 6 and 7 'andis prevented from vertical upward movement with respect to said'pitchers by meansof integral shoul; ders '9 formed in thebodyof the p'itcher ii adjacent to and directly under the spouts (land '7'. Means are provided for tiltably 1 supporting the pitcher '5, said means compris in a stand 111' Said stand comprises a'base 12 having spaced apart uprights l3 and 14 extendingtherefrom. *Pivots -16 pivotally secure-theupp'er extremities of the uprights 13 and1'4: to diametrically opposite points on Yo I the band 8,said points being disposed atright angles tothe spouts 6'and'7. In this way the pitcheris supported in a manner that'allows removal-of the same from'the stand'll for the purpose of cleaning. 5 1

With he foregoing constructionit will be seen that the pitcher5fmay be tilted in either direction, so that the contentsmay'be poured from "either spout, Although the pitcher maybe used for'containing any fluid, the same V Wasparticularly constructed for containing salad oils; The device is particul'arlyadapted for use in making mayonnaisefwherein it'is necessary to pour the oil intothemixing bowl in a particular manner, thatis, so that the necessary'quantity' of oil is mixed in at the necessary moments'so asto prevent what is known as"cracking.i In-this respect the a spouts6 and 7 are provided with restricted passages 8 and- 9 respectively, of different sizes. The passage 8/ ofthef spout 6 is considerably larger than the'passage 9 'of'fthe spout 7, and allows a greater flow ofliqjuidto-pass therethrough, the preferable" sizefof said passage being such as to allow very smallstream to issuefrom the spout 6*. The passage 9' of" the spout 8 is preferably; restricted to suchvan extent 7 as to limit the flow of oil so that. itwill issuefrom the spout 7 in drops, Thereforewhen it"is desired to pour-theoil into the mayonnaise mixture in quantity, it

spouts and curving upwardly from both spouts to a point intermediate said spouts on both sides of said bowl, said shoulder being adapted to rest on saidband and secure said pitcher against displacement said band furnishingmeans for pivotally mounting the pitcher upon a uitable support.

position, leaving both hands free'to work. 7

Said means comprises athreaded screw 17 which extends through an arcuateslot 18 i formed in the metal band 8 with the center of one of the pivots 16 as a center'for said slot. Said screw extends from the inside, of said band andprojects through a central aperture in the upright 13' and is threadedly en-V gaged at its'outer end by a wing nut 19.

It will be seen that when the pitcher 5 is ti1tedthe'slot'18 will movewith respect to Y the screw 16 and the same will slide therein.

When the pitcher has been tilted to thede- I sired position it is merely necessary to tighten the wing nut 19, thereby; securing the said pitcher in thedesiredadjusted position. Al- 7 though I have shown the adjusting 'mechanism on only one side of the pitcher, it is evident that the same may he embodied "on both sides,

For the purpose of sanitation, I have provided small metal caps 21 which fit over-the ends of the spouts 6 and 7 and prevent dirt and other impurities from entering. the pitcher 5 when the same is not in use. 1 U s In manufacturing the device, while the various elements thereof maybe constructed in any suitable manner andofany suitable material, it is preferable to construct the pitcher of glass or porcelain for facilitating the cleaning thereof, and to form the supporting structureof sheet metal on account ofthe cheapness, lightness and strength of the latter; but irrespective 'of 'these idetails in manufacturing, the essential features ar always preserved. V I In this specification and the annexed drawing, the invention is illustrated in the form considered to be the best,ibut itis to be understood that the invention is not limited to such formas it may be embodied in-other forms; and it is also to be understood that inandby the claims following the description, it isdesire d to'cover the invention in whatsoever form it may ,be embodied; f q

What I claim is?! In combination with a transversely curvi-' linearly formed substantially circular band; a pitcher comprising abowl section of sub-V stantially spherical form and provided with V a cover,- a drip 'spoutiand a pouring spout projecting in opposite directions from said bowl and a 'shoulderformed beneath said
