ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to tilting serving devices and more particularly pertains to a new pouring device for facilitating pouring of material in a cook pot into a container.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of tilting serving devices is known in the prior art. U.S. Pat. No. 5,439,142 describes a device for being tilted to pour liquid food stuff into a container. Another type of tilting serving device is U.S. Pat. No. 2,813,693 having a base with a holder means pivotally coupled to the base for receiving a container to be pivoted with respect to the base to allow liquids to be poured from the container. U.S. Pat. No. 2,830,782 has a drip stand for receiving a container and allowing the container to be pivoted to allow material in the container to drip out. U.S. Pat. No. 285,119 has a stand and rest for receiving a pitcher to allow the pitcher to be tilted to pour liquids from the pitcher without having to lift the pitcher. U.S. Pat. No. 2,708,558 has a holder pivotally coupled to a stand whereby the holder receives a container to permit tilting of the container to dispense the material in the container without having to lift the container. U.S. Pat. No. Des. 214,750 shows a combined carton holder and pouring stand.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the need remains for a device that certain improved features to allow for different sizes of cook pots to be received.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention meets the needs presented above by providing a securing portion slidably coupled to a support plate to secure cook pots of different sizes between the securing portion and the retaining wall.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new pouring device that provides a handle member positioned opposite the backing wall for making sure the hand of the user is positioned away from the cook pot to prevent the hand from being burned.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new pouring device that has a peripheral lip around the base member of the base portion to contain any spilled material from cook pot when the cook pot is tilted.
To this end, the present invention generally comprises a base portion being designed for resting on a support surface. The base portion is designed for receiving a container. A pair of support portions are positioned on the base portion. An axle portion is coupled between the support portions whereby the support portions support the axle portion above the base portion. The support portions are removable from the base portion to allow for easier clean up of the base portion. A pouring assembly is rotatably coupled the axle portion. The pouring assembly is designed for receiving a cook pot whereby the pouring assembly is for pouring material from the cook pot into the container positioned on the base member when the pouring assembly is rotated with respect to the base portion.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
