DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention concerns those instruments of the portable type which allow for the elaboration of an unlimited number of recipes and different volumes, by means of movable cards upon which are printed the level and the name of the products constituting the recipe: another use would be the replacing of the recipe card by the time card thus allowing one to check the rate of flow or absorption of the mixture obtained as previously stated, or pre-prepared.
In receptacles of this type already known, the indicated or advised doses have to be measured out by the user: this is imprecise and modifies the balance of the proportions and literally transforms the envisaged preparation.
Another disadvantage is that, when the different products are being administered, mistakes can be made because a metal receptacle does not allow one to follow the preparation thanks to transparency.
The same happens when a transparent receptacle has a few recipes printed around it--they are always the same and reading them is hard. Neither can one change the recipes because they are printed on the receptacle itself, thus limiting the number of preparations and the text gets confused.
The device in accordance with the invention allows for an ease of preparation unheard of in previously known means. Much time is thereby gained because it is unnecessary to refer to a recipe book and to measure each ingredient in a separate appliance, and then pour it into a receptacle, beginning again these operations as many times as there are products.
This invention most certainly aims at a technical result by the fact that such a lay-out of information on the cards, as well as the improved visibility and definition of levels and the ingredients, at the same time as it favorises the homogeneity of the mixtures, avoids those different inconveniences.
The receptacle, made in a transparent material, is equipped with either a receipe or time card, printed on one or both sides. This card is fixed on to it by an appropriate system of fixation. Thus a same card may have different proportions or quantities on the front and on the back. One can thus obtain an infinite number of cards which can be fitted to the receptacle, itself equipped with a system of fixation of the above-mentioned cards.
The means by which the cards are fixed on consist of:
at the top, two vertically orientated sliding channels corresponding to the width of the card which is thus held in place laterally.
The distance of the sliding channels from the external surface corresponds to the thickness of the card, which is held flat against the side of the receptacle;
at the bottom, components forming stops, equipped with a groove parallel to the cylindrical surface of the base and set at a distance allowing for the passage of the width of the bottom of the card and the attaching of the card by its internal angles of the wider parts placed on the left and on the right of the card.
The means of fixation are conceived of in such a way as to keep the vertical edges of the cards pressed flat against the outside, against the enlarging wall, and straddling two contiguous facets. The cards may be made in flexible material which is also rigid, notably plastics, cardboard or "Rhodoid". According to needs they may be opaque, transparent, transluscent or diaphanous.
The cards may also be printed in foreign languages, thus for the same recipe, one card for each required foreign language.
Schematically, the cards resemble a side view of a railroad-track rail because they are equipped at each of their lower and upper angles with parts which jut out; the lower horizontal edge at the top and the upper horizontal edge at the bottom rest upon, and are held in place by, supports placed both at the top and the bottom.
A card may be put in position first by fixing its lower end into the slot and then the top of it is fitted into the sliding channels by pressing on the wider part to draw in the top vertical edges of the card; the wider top part is therefore above the level of the sliding channels. To take the car
