Application led August 30, 1916. Serial No. 117,630.
' To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY S. WELSH, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident` of New York, in the county of New York land State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Disappearing Funnels, of which the followingA is a specification. t
This invention relates to improvements in funnels and particularly of types adapted to collapse so as to be folded into a rela-v tively small compass.
One of the principal objects of this invention is to provide a funnel which may be used in connection with the filling nozzle, of a water cooler as'applied to automobiles in which the funnel may be inverted and retained inconspicuously within the cooling system of the motor used to actuate the vehicle. t
Another object is to provide a funnel which is capable of being expanded so that the contents of a bucket or other filling receptacle used may be readily poured into the water tank surrounding the radiator,
and.
These and other like objects are attained.
by the novel design, construction and combination of parts hereafter described andy shown in the accompan ing drawings, forming a material part o this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view showing the application 'of the invention, the funnel being in an inverted and collapsed position.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same, the funnel being expanded and shown in an operative position.
Fig. 3Yis a top plan view of the same, parts being removed to show the construction.
Fig. 4 is a top plan view showing the parts when the funnel is in a position shown in Fig. 1, and,
- Fig. 5- is a fragmental view showing a detail of the construction.
In the several views the extreme front portion of a water cooled radiator isvdisclosed, the radiator being indicated by the numeral 10, the surrounding jacket or cooler 11, and the casing 12; at the top of the jacket 11 is a raised screw-threaded annular hub 14 to which is fitted a sleeve 15 covered by the cap 16, the same being indented or corrugated so as to be manually operated as clearlyshown in Fig. 4.
Clamped between the upper edge of the hub 14 and a ange 17, formed with the sleeve 16, is a ring 20 to which are attached a plurality of hooks 21, the same engaging with .eyes 22 formed with flexible connecting elements 23 disposed between pairs of metallic segments 25 arranged to form when expanded Fa conical construction as shown in Fig. 2, the elements 23 being composed of leather or other suitable flexible material and held in-place between the segments 25 by means of rivets 26 or other like fastenings. p
In operation, when the funnel is not in use, the ring is held between the sleeve 15 and hub 14 with the funnel elements hanging pendant in the space above the radiator. When it is desired to make use of the funnel the sleeve 15 is removed, the funnel and ring withdrawn and re-inserted in a reverse posiyLetters Patent, is
Thecombination with a radiator for automobiles or the like including a flange and a cap having threaded engagement therewith, of a supporting ring clamped between the ange and cap, said ring having eyes provided along the inner side thereof, flexible strips secured to said rings by means of said eyes, segmental sections arranged in corresponding pairs with their adjacent edges overlapping the edges of the flexible strips, fastening elements passing through the overlapped edges of the segmental sections and through the edges of the flexible strips whereby the sections will be secured together in such position as to form a funnel, said sections and strips being foldable downwardly into the radiator.
Signedl at New York, inl the county of New York, and State of New York, this 2nd day of August, 1916.
