DEVICE FOR SECURING- PETROL-CARS AND THE LIM T MOTR-CRS.
Specification of Letters Patent. l* p Ptgmdwgt, 2691915;
Application led November 14, 21911. Serial No'. 660,246.
- ing Petrol-Cans or the' like to Motor-Cars,
of which the followingis a specification.
Petrol cans are usually carried on the foot-board of a motor car and held down by a strap buckled over the top of the can. Cans so held often cause annoyance Vby shaking or rattling, and the object of this invention is to provide a device by which the can can be practically instantaneously secured Ior released, and adapted to secure the can with a rm elastic grip so'as to obviate the annoyance referred to.
The device consists broadly of an elastically extensible tubularl rod, with a hook at each end, one hook being adapted to swivel.
The lower hook is intended to be-fhooked into an eye bolt provided for thepurpose on the foot-board or the like, and the upper hook is shaped so as to engage securely with the rim usually found around the top edge of the can, or to engage with the ends of a cross bar or bridge-piece extending over the top of the can.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a View of a can with a plain y top held in position by theelastic tubular rods and a bridge-piece, the bridge piece being shown in section in Fig. la; Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively, an elevation in longitudinal section, and an outside elevation of one of the elastic tubular rods.
The tubular rod is in two lengths, the upper one A being a sliding fit over the lower one B. This upper tube has the upper-hook a1 iiXed into it at its upper end, the shank a? of the hook being drilled and tapped to take the tension bolt C.
The top bly-of lthe lower tube is shouldered internally so as to form an abutment for a spiral spring D housed in the tube. The tension bolt C is passed through the spring with its head abuttin below `it and both together are inserted rom the bottom end of the lower tube; the tension bolt is then screwed into the tapped hole in a2 by means of a screw driver or box key from below. It will be seen that the upper tube with its hook can be turned relatively to the lower tube, as may be required. v
The shank b2 of the lower hook 'bis enters the lowerend ofthe lower tube andis attached by a cross pin or any other suitable means; the attachment being detachable lso that Aaccess may be had 'to the'tension bolt for adjusting 4the-tension or removing the bolt and spring.`
An eye bolt Il1 to take the lowerhook, the eye-bolt being sunk into the foot-board and a recess g1 being made to accommodate the Ieye-bolt. In some cases a recess or seating to take the bottom of the can may be provided in or onthe footboard.. A link K is fitted to take th finger and is used'to extend-the tubular ro s.
vThe elasticity ofthe spring accommodates any likely variation in the height of the cans and the tension can be regulated to give a 'grip of any desired degree of firmness.
To accommodate cans in which there is not a rim suitable for engaging the device, I provide a cross bar or bridge-piece H adapted to it over the can and provided with suitable projecting lugs or pins.
A suitable form of cast bridge piece H is shown in Fig. 1; in this -construction the upper `hooks tit over the edge h1, and a depending fiange h2 engages the can.
-@ther modes of attaching the spring may be employed; and instead of a hook at the lower end, a 'T-shaped piece may be 'fitted and be adapted to enter a slot in a plate on the toot-board and be given a quarter turn to hold it in position; or other suitable and convenient means may be used to attach the lower end to the foot-board.
Having now 'fully described myinvention, I declare that what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is In a device for securing petrol cans in position on a platform, in combination; a plurality of gripping means, each comprising two tubular members, one telescoping within the other, the short member being pro- G is fitted to the foot-board I `vided with a hook projecting laterally and the other member being provided with a,
pressed between the end of the inner tube -l and a head on the said stem; and a bridge piece adapted tol fit over the can top and lprovided with ledges to take the laterally 10 projecting hooks of the several gripping means. f
In testimony whereof, I aix my signa- "ture in presence of two witnesses.
