.PORTABLE LIQUID PUMP FOR OIL CONTAINERS.

Application filed May 2, 1922. Serial No. 557,869.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDGAR A. BmNnNs'rox, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of lVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Liquid Pumps for Oil Containers; and

I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

This invention pertains to liquid pumps and hasprimarily for its object to provide a,

portable pump adaptedfor use in extracting liquid from the original container in which it is shipped, T

A more specific object resides in the provision of a conventional liquid pump mounted upon a portable truck and provided with means for operably connecting the pump with a container, and additional means for preventing relative movement between the pump and container. 7 With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists incertain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts as are hereinafter set forth in the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 is a frontview in elevation, illustrating one mode of carrying out the invention.

Figure 2 is an elevational side view with parts broken away and in section.

Figure 3 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is. a detailed sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is an enlarged detailed View in section showing the connection between the container and pump, and Figure 6 is a plan View of the same.

Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawings, the present invention consists in the provision of a portable truck T comprising a pair of angle iron side frames 7 one end of which is supported on the axle 8, which carries the wheels 9, while the other end of the frame 7 terminates in downwardly projecting legs 10, which serve to support the apparatus carried on the frame, in a vertical position, and in addition thereto, straddle the end of the container to prevent its lateral movement with relation to the truck.

Extending upwardly from the side frames 7 are a pair of supporting standards 11, that-v carry the table 12, on which is mounted the cylinder, providedwith an intake pipe 141, communicating with the same at: its lower end, and extending upwardly .to a point where it is connected to the lateral extension 15, by means of the elbow 16. Extending above the table 12 and supported thereby, is a conventional pump actuating mechanism pump mechanismv consisting of a pump M which forms no specific part of the present invention, inasmuch as the invention is applicable to any type of pump structure.

As set forth in the-preceding objects, the

present invention is particularly designed for use in connection with the original containers in which the liquid is shipped, which container is designated'in the drawings as 17, and while I have illustrated the same as being cylindrical or barrel shaped, it is obvious that the invention would work equally as well with any shaped container.

For the purpose of operably connecting the pump with the container, I provide a vertical suction pipe 18 adapted to be in serted into the container to a point adjacent its bottom, and held in place by means of a cap 19 threaded therein. The upper end of the pipe 18 is provided with a lateral extension 18, which is connected to the extension 15, by means of a union or coupling 20.

In order to vent the container as liquid is drawn therefrom, the cap 19 is provided with a vent opening 19' and a plug 21 threaded in the cap and provided with a ball check 22 yieldably held on its seat by a coil spring 23.

As illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings, the side frames 7 have pivotally connected thereto, a pair of arms 24, which are swung in under the container after the same is properly positioned with relation to the truck and pump. These arms serve as an additional bracing or support to prevent relative movement between the container and the truck, and thereby eliminate possible strain upon the connections between the con tainer and the pump.

From the foregoing description, it is obvious that a very simple portable structure has been provided for garages and the like, whereby oil contained in barrels or other shipping containers may be readily drawn off and measured in the manner similar to that employed in connection with stationary supply tanks, and due to the portability of the device, the same may be readily transferred to any convenient location.

Attention is further directed to the fact that the device is applicable to various sizes of containers, the arms 27, which serve to block or chuck the container against movement, being adjustably secured to the truck frame. Also in instances where it may be desiredto transport the entire apparatus, in-

' cluding the container, the same is readily accomplished by lifting up the container and tilting the pump mechanism to a pointwhere it serves as a truck.

While I have shown and described a single embodiment ofthe invention, which is the most practical form so far devised, it will be understood that various modifications and changes in the structural details are contemplated as come within the terms of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A portable pump for cylindrical containers comprising a portable frame, adjustable members carried by the frame for preventing relative movement of the container, a pump mechanism carried on the frame, and means for operably connecting the pump with the container.

2. A portable pump for cylindrical containers comprising a portable frame, adjust able means carried by the frame for preventing relative movement of the container, a pump carried on the frame and provided with an intake pipe, a suction pipe adapted to be inserted into the container, and means for detachably connecting the suction pipe with the intake pipe.

3. A portable pump for cylindrical containers comprising a frame, arms pivoted to the frame for preventing relative movement of the container with relation to the frame,

-a um carried on said frame asuction i e adapted to be inserted into said tank, and means for detachably connecting said suction pipe with the pump.

' In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin.
