Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 5, 1918. Serial No. 257,042.
7 '0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM R. MYEas, a citizen of the Ilnited States, residin at E ity and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire- Buckets; 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.
This invention relates to improvements in fire buckets and especially to that type of bucket designed to constantly hold a supply of chemicals of lire extinguishing properties.
It is one of the objects of the present in vention to provide a fire bucket in which the parts are protected not only from the action of the chemicals contained in the bucket by contact with the liquid, but also are protected from the fumes which arise from the chemicals.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bucket of this type in which all of the parts are of extremely simple and. there fore, inexpensive construction and an especial object of the invention is to provide a fire bucket which, while it is hermetically sealed, is capable of being most readily and quickly uncovered to permit the distribution of the chemical contents toward or upon the flaming material, so that the minimum amount'of time may be required in preparing the apparatus for use in emergencies.
IVith these and other objects in view,the invention consists of the construction, the combination and in details and arrangements of the parts as more particularly hereinafter described relative to the embodiment of the invention, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bucket showing the parts in separated relation, and
Fig. 2 is a central vertical section through the bucket.
The bucket consists of a suitably shaped container made of any desired material and in any proportions and size and is generally indicated at A, the interior of the bucket being provided with a coating B of suitable material designed to resist the action of the chemical contents thereof upon the material of which the bucket may be constructed. For the purpose of preventing the falling of objects into the bucket and also retarding evaporation. or deterioration of the chemical contents a lid 0 is provided, this being shown in this instance as slightly dished as at 2 downwardly from the top and having a slightly conimved peripheral flange 23, the maximum diameter of the lid being approximately equal to the diameter of" the rim bead 4 of the bucket, so that when the cover (l is applied to the bucket a portion of the cover projects below the plane of the top of the rim t.
It is desirable to protect the cover from the fumes or condensed matter from the chemical contents of the bucket and for this purpose there is introduced beneath the cover C a protecting sheet or diaphragm, preferably of pliant sheet material, the nature of which obviously will vary according to the nature of the contents of the bucket, the sheet being indicated at D. A metallic sheet or foil is preferable in many cases, but I am not necessarily limited to the use of a metallic diaphragm or protecting sheet.
To secure the hermetic and efl ectual connection of the protecting sheet D to the rim of the bucket, I prefer to employ any suitable cement or adhesive agent indicated at 5 to the rim of the bucket, so that when the pliant sheet D is applied flatwise across the top of the bucket, the marginal portion of the sheet, which preferably is cut in the form of a disk, may be pressed into firm contact with the inner side of the rim of the bucket and adhesively connected thereto through means of the adhesive or a cement agent 5. After the protecting sheet I) has been laid over the rim of the bucket, the cover (3 is then lowered into position on top of the sheet and pressed down, so that the sheet is drawn downwardly under tension by the depressed portion 2 of the cover, thereby insuring a substantially complete cementitious joint between the edge of the sheet I) where it is engaged and pressed down by the flange 3 of the cover. A substantial air chamber is 'formed between the dished lid and the tightly stretched sheet, as shown in Fig. 2, which permits expansion of the contents of the bucket and tends to prevent the breaking of the fragile sheet by the accidental denting of the lid. After the cover has been positioned as above indicated, the projecting edge ofthe protecting sheet D may then be rolled down and under the head 3 as is plainly indicated in Fig. 2, so as not only to make a neat appearance tor the bucket, hut also to increase the sealing area of contact between the marginal portion of the sheet D and the head i of the bucket.
From the above, it will be seen that the hucket has a lining which is designed to resist the action of the chemicals contained therein, but also the utilization of a suitalile chemical resistant as the sheet D pro terts the cover from the fumes which may arise from the chemicals. The cover also may have its undensnrface coated as at E with a chemical resistant material if de sired. In emergency when the chemicals are to he utilized in the extinguishing of tires the attendant or person using the de rice may readily dislodge the rover for the reason that it is not \vwlged, interlorlu-d or otherwise irirtionally or positively interengaged with the rim or the lnn'het and lies substantially loose on the top oi the same, so that it can he renmved in minimum time in emergencies. As: soon as the cover is thrown off the pliant and relatively fragile sheet D is readily drawn of? and the hands may be dipped into the contents to spray a small quantity on the fire, if desired, or the whole contents of the bucket may be thrown on to the fire if necessary.
What I claim is:
1.111 a tire bucket having a chemical resistant inner surface, an outturned rim coated on its inner and upper surface with adhesive material, a lid having an upturned rim adapted to fit resiliently within and upon said rim of the bucket and, a pliant fragile protecting sheet interposed between the bucket and the lid, and adapted to he depressed by said rim into said bucket against the mner adhesive coated surface of the bucket.
2. In a fire bucket having a chemical resistant inner surface, an outturned rim coated on its inner and upper surface with an adhesive material, a dished lid having an upturned rim, and a pliant fragile protin-ting sheet interposed hetween the hueket and the lid and adapted to he depressed hy the rim of the lid into said huoket and against the inner adhesive coated surface of the bucket rim leaving an air ('hamher hetween said fragile sheet and said dished lid.
In testimony whereof I atliX my signature.
WILLIAM R. MYERS.
