Description
, 1. MAIKA PITCHER.
APPLICATION FILED APR. 13. I9 17'.
Patented. .Feb. 12, 1918.
JOSE]? MAIKA, 0F CLEVELAND, OHIO.
PITCHER.
Application filed. April 13, 1917.
To all whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, Josnr MAIKA, a subject of the Emperor of Austria, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pitchers of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to pitchers of the kind used to contain liquids of various sorts and has special reference to a handled pitcher built up of wooden staves.
For many purposes it has been found that the best container for certain liquids is wood and such containers are frequently used in the form of barrels and the like. It has also been found extremely difficult to construct a proper container of wood built up of staves on account of the liability of a pitcher shaped container collapsing when dry.
An important object of the present invention is to provide an improved general construction of pitcher built up of staves. It has also been found very diflicult to keep the hoops used in pitchers of this class tight, this being especially the case where the pitcher is of frusto-conical form with the sides tapered quite abruptly.
Another important object of the invention is to provide an improved construction of pitcher of this class wherein the staves and hoops will be arranged and connected in a novel nd improved manner.
A third important object of the invention is to provide a pitcher of this class with a handle serving the double function of retaining one or more of the hoops on the pitcher and at the same time acting to increase the tension on the hoops when the pitcher is lifted.
With the above and other objects in view as will be hereinafter apparent the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and specifically claimed.
In the accompanying drawing, like characters of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and:--
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pitcher constructed in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. L
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 12, 1918.
Serial No. 161,924.
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is aperspective view of the staves forming the handle separated from the other parts of the pitcher.
In the embodiment of the invention herein illustrated there is provided a series of staves 10 which are substantially flat, though slightly arcuate in cross section and these staves taper from one end to the other and have their sides beveled as at 11 so that when the staves are assembled the joints are radial with respect to the axis of the conical vessel formed by the assembled staves. At the bottom of each of these staves there is provided a notch 12 so that when the staves are assembled the edge of a bottom 13 may be retained in these notches. In addition to the staves 10, which are arranged tlatwise about the axis of the cone there is provided a further stave 14 which is arranged edgewise to the axi of the cone, the inner edge of this stave being beveled on each side as at 15, and fitting between two of the staves 10. This stave 14 moreover is provided in its upper part with a hand receiving opening 16.
In each of the staves on the outside thereof there is formed a pair of notches 17 which are so arranged that when the staves are assembled the notches will form continuous grooves about the cone. The upper notch for the stave 14 is located in that part of the stave wherein lies the opening 16. In order to bind the staves together there is provided an upper hoop 18 and a lower hoop 19 which, when the parts are assembled, fit in the respective notches 17. These hooks are shrunk into the notches so that they hold the staves tightly together and when thus positioned it will be obvious that they can not slip up and permit collapse of the vessel. Moreover it will also be obvious that when the vessel is dry and the staves are somewhat loose a person grasping the handle stave 14 and lifting the vessel will throw tension on the hoops 18 and 19 and thus tend to draw the staves together. Again, it will be noticed that by reason of the notches in the stave 14 and adjacent staves 10 the stave 14 when grasped will not tend to lift up from between the adjacent staves 10 since it will be locked down in position by the intersection of the hoops and notches.
There has thus been provided a simple 7 may be made in the form and construction of the invention without departing from the material principles thereof. It is not therefore desired to confine the invention to the eXact form herein shown and described but it is wished to include all such as properly come Within the scope claimed.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is
A device of the class described comprising a series of staves tapered from end to end and side flatwise about an axis, two of said staves being spaced and the joints between said staves being radialto said axis, a handle stave set edgewise :in the space between the two staves and having'theportion being at Its upper part, all of said staves being provided with spaced notches arranged to'form continuous circumferential grooves about the vessel when assembled, one of said grooves vpassing through the hand receiving opening of the handled staves and hoops surrounding said vessel and' arranged to fit tightly in said grooves.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature. J OSEF MAIKA. lVitnesses: V JOSEPH TETLAES, PER RIsH.
