MICHAEL HANAUER, OF TOLLAND, MASSACHUSETTS.
SAP SPOUT AND COVER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 20, 1920.
Application le. January 29, 1920. Serial No. 354,801.
j and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, iii- Figure 1, a top or plan vview of a sap spout and bucket cover constructed in accordance with Vmy invention.
Fig. 2, a side view'of the same.
Fig. 3, a sectional view of the spout showing the hook in position to be engaged with the spout.
Fig. 4t, a similar view showing the hook turned in the locked engagement with the spout.
This invention relates to improvement in sap spouts and covers. In collecting sap from trees, it is very essential that rain or melting ice running down the trunk of the tree shall be prevented from entering the sap bucket and the object of this invention is to provide a sap spout with a flange which will prevent water from entering the bucket and also to provide a cover for the bucket and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.
In carrying out my invention I employ a sap spout 6 having a tapered inner end to enter a bore 7 inthe trunk 8 of a tree, the inner end 9 of the spout being closed and provided in its underside with a hole 10 through which the sap may enter the spout, the outer end of the spout being formed with a downwardly curved lip 11. Around the spout is a flange 12 and projecting forward from the flange is a web 13 formed with a hole 14. The upper end of the flange is rolled to form a knuckle 15 which fits be tween knuckles 16 and 17 in the rear edge of a cover 1S which is of proper size to eX- tend over the top of the usual sap bucket 19 Athe hook with the spout.
which bucket is suspended by a hook 20 formed with an open eye 21 of proper size to surround the spout forward of the flange. This hook is connected with the spout by turning the hook upward so that the end 22 of the eye stands in line with the hole 11i, then the hook is turned downward and the end 22 passing through the hole interlocks The cover 1S is connected with the flange 12 by a wire pintle 23 and so that the cover may be turned upward against the trunk vof the tree against which the rear edgeof the cover extends, the central part of the cover being formed with a projection 24 to bear against the tree. Any moisture running down the trunk of the tree will strike the flange 24 and be deflected thereby and prevented from following the spout and dripping into the bucket.
The hook is so firmly engaged with the spout that it is not liable to be accidentally displaced and the cover is readily turned to expose the top ofthe bucket when desired and prevents any moisture entering the bucket.
I claim:
1. The combination of a spout, with a flange formed integral therewith and with a forwardly projecting web formed with an opening of a hook having an eye, one-end of which passes through said opening.
2. The combination with a spout formed with an integral flange provided at its upper edge with a knuckle and with a forwardly projecting web formed with an opening, of a cover formed at its rear end with knuckles on opposite lsides of the center, and with a rearwardly extending projection, a pintle extending through said knuckles whereby the cover is hinged to the spout, and a hook having an eye one end of which passes through the opening in the said flange.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two sub-` scribing witnesses.
MICHAEL HANAUER.
