ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for adapting open-mouthed containers, such as 12- and 16-ounce beverage bottles, for use as a cuspidor. The converter includes a housing having top and bottom openings and an inverted frusto-conical member tapering downwardly and inwardly from a top edge of the housing to a predetermined position therebelow. The conical member has a bottom aperture which communicates with the top opening. An adapter is disposed beneath the conical member for connecting the apparatus to a container. The adapter has a central aperture communicating with the bottom aperture of the conical member for conducting material introduced into the housing through the top opening thereof into the container. The conical member cooperates with an inner wall of the housing to substantially prevent material from escaping from the housing through the top opening. The adapter includes a plurality of cylindrical members having respective discrete outside diameters adapted to fit into the respective bottle mouths having respective discrete inside diameters, to provide a snug-fit engagement, so that the apparatus can be coupled to bottles having various sized mouths.
