Description
May 5, 1931.v J. M. GERHARDT BARREL RACK Filed Dec. 7, 1927 Jnvuvboz John M. Gefhard t Patented May 5, 1931 UNETE STS JOHN M. GEBHARDT, F CHARLESTON, ILLINOIS BARR-EL RACK Application filed December '7, 1927. Serial No. 238, 33.
This invention pertains to a stand or sup port for barrels or casks containing oils, kerosene, alcohol or other liquids generally used by filling stations, grocery stores, drug stores or other places where the oils are dispensed in small quantities from a large and heavy container without the necessity of the attendants having to lift or tilt the container to draw the liquid therefrom.
Another object is to make it possible for only one person to place a barrel of liquid in position for use.
Referring to the accompanying drawings which are made a part hereof and on which similar refere ice characters indicate similar parts,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the rack and barrel in the position to dispense the contents thereof,
Figure 2, a side elevation thereof in the position of applying the rack to the barrel,
Figure 3, a similar view showing the first operation of tilting the barrel,
Figure l, a similar View of the final operation of tilting the barrel, and
Figure 5, a section on the line 55 of Figure at.
In the drawings, the numeral denotes a platform or cradle constructed of flat metal strips of suitable thickness to form a rigid structure comprising spaced longitudinal members 11 which are riveted at their ends to curved end members 12 and 13. The members 12 and 13 are curved to correspond with the circumference of the container and have their end portions extending beyond the plane of the outside members 11. The member 1 has riveted thereto, the upper ends 14 of the front legs 15 which are formed of strap metal of suitable thickness to withstand the weight of the container. The member 13 is similar to the member 12 and has depending brackcts 16 riveted to its end to which the upper ones of the rear legs 17 are pivoted in a manner to be swung beneath the platform 10 as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The front legs 15 are made slightly shorter than the rear legs 17 to lower the front end of the barrel to facilitate complete draining of its contents. The leg members 15 and 17 are each formed of a single strip of metal bent into U-shaped form with their upper ends brought closer together than the lower ones to morefirmly brace the rack.
The container or barrel 18 is secured to the platform 10 by a central strap 19 of flexible metal riveted to the underside of the members 1 and having an adjustable joint 20 conveniently located in one side thereof and a hasp or lever fastener 21 designed to tightly draw the band 19 around the container to firmly hold it in position thereon. The barrel or container 18 is provided with the usual opening for the reception of a faucet 22.
In mounting the rack, he barrel is placed on one end and the clamping strap adjusted to the proper size atthe joint 20 and finally clamped by the hasp 21 which position is shown in Fig. 2. With the rear legs 17 folded close to the platform 10, the barrel and support are tilted to rest on the frontlegs 15 and bottom of the barrel, as shown in Fig. 3. By using the front legs 15 as a fulcrum the bottom of the barrel is lifted by hand and the rear legs 17 are allowed to fall into position to support the barrel in a slightly inclined position, ready for use.
It will be understood, of course, that the structure of this device as shown is merely the preferable structure and that it may be varied in details and form without departing from the spirit of my invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A barrel stand comprising an elongated transversely curved cradle formed of a pair of spaced curved end members connected by spaced slats, a support at one end of the cradle fixed relative thereto, and another support at the opposite end of the cradle, substantially as set forth.
2. A barrel stand comprising an elongated transversely curved cradle formed of a pair of spaced curved end members connected by spaced slat-s, a rigid support at one end of the cradle, a pivoted support at the opposite end of the cradle, and a band fastened near the center of the cradle and transversely of the same for encompassing and holding a barrel on said cradle, substantially as set forth.
8. A barrel stand comprising an elongated transversely curved cradle formed of a pair of rigid curved end members connected by spaced rigid slats, a fixed support at one end 19 of said cradle, slightly longer pivoted support at the other end thereof, and aflexible and adjustable metal band secured to the longitudinal center of said slats adapted to encircle and confine a barrel on said cradle,
substantially as set forth.
in Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Champaign, Illinois, this 5th day of December, A. D. nineteen hundred and twenty-seven.
ee JOHN M. GERHARDT.
