CONTAINER FOR DISINFECTANTS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. Sil, lltlllti.
Application filed Mareh`25,'1916. Seiial No. 86,608.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, EDWARD Fnniuss, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Containers for Disinfectants; and I 'do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has for its object to pro` vide an extremely simple, cheap and highly efficient container for disinfectants, deodorants, moth balls, and the like, and to such ends, generally stated, the invention consists of the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and defined in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings: Figure l is a view chieiiy in elevation with some parts sectioned and some parts indicated by dotted lines only, showing one of the containers; Fig. 2 is a view partly in elevation and partly in vertical section showing several of the containers applied to a closet bowl; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section taken on the line m3 053 of Fig. 2.
T he body of the container is made from a closely wound coiled spring 1 that is adapted to be easily bent into the form of a loop with its coiled ends interlapped like a double thread, as best shown in Fig. l. When the two ends are thus interlapped, the container has but a single entrance passage, and this is normally closed by a plug 2. rIhis plug 2 is preferably of cork or similar slightly pliable material so that when pressed into the interlapped ends of the coil and rotated, it may be tightened with a sort of a screw action without requiring threads to be caught on the plug. The cork or plug applied to the interlapped ends of the spring not only closes the container, but holds the ends of the spring in their interlapped relation.
Vhere a hard metal plug is employed, it should be provided with threads or spiral peripheral grooves for engagement with the spiral ends of the spring. rThe plug or cork 2 is provided with al hook or hanger 3 that is adapted to be inserted through the flushing passages et which are found in the annular rim 5 of a closet bowl 6, of ordinary construction. One or more of these containers filled with a disinfectant or deodorizing balls 7 may be hung within the closet bowl, as indicated in Fig. 2, and when thus hung, will be in position where the flushing water will be caused to pass over the disinfectant or deodorizing balls. Of course, the disinfectant or material may take forms other than that of a ball, but the ball form is preferable.
rlhe container may be hung in numerous places and may be used to contain various different materials. For example, it may be used to contain moth balls and may be hung in wardrobes, closets, and may be even attached to the clothing by means of the hook 3, which for some purposes, will be given more bend than shown in the drawings.
The container described, as is evident, may be made at very small cost. In practice it has been found highly etiicient for the purposes had in view. It may be very easily and quickly filled and refilled. The closely wound coils, when the spring is bent to form the container, will separate at the outer bend of the spring just enough to let water and air freely pass through the container, but yet they will be so close together that they will hold very small particles within the container.
`What I claim is:
l. A container of the kind described, comprising a coiled spring bent into a loop with its ends interlapped, and a plug inserted into the interlapped ends of said spring.
2. A container of the kind described, comprising a coiled spring bent into a loop with its ends interlapped, and a plug of pliable material inserted into the interlapped ends of said spring.
3. A container of the kind described, comprising a coiled spring bent into a loop with its ends interlapped, and a plug inserted into the interlapped ends of said spring, said plug having a projection by means of which it may be attached to an object.
et. A container of the kind described, comprising a coiled spring bent into a loop with its ends interlapped, and a plug inserted spring, and a metallic hook attached to said into the interlapped ends of said spring, plug. lo said plug having a hook by means of Which In testimony whereof I aHiX my signature it may be attached to an object. in presence of two Witnesses.
5 5. A container of the kind described, oom- EDWARD FERRISS.
prising a closely Wound coiled spring, thel Vitnesses: ends ,of which are nterlapped, a cork plug EVA E. KNIG, forced into the interlapped ends of said HARRY D. KILGORE.
