HENRY VIELSCH AND MOSES R. BUCHANAN, OF EL IPA SO, TEXAS.
ICE-SUPPORTING- PLATE.
Application filed February 17, 1922.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, HENRY Hanson and Moses R. BUCHANAN, both citizens of the United States, residing at El Paso, in the county of El Paso and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ice-Supporting Plates, of which the following is a specification. V
This invention relates to ice supporting plates, the primary object of the invention being to provide means of a simple nature for supporting a cake of ice and holding the latter against slipping or sliding in any direction when so supported, the inbeing adaptable particularly, though not exclusively, for use upon vehicles, such as the running board of an automobile.
A further object of the invention is to provide a plate of the character mentioned and for the purpose stated which may be quickly and easily applied to the running board and which requires no means other than provided by the plate for preventing the cake or block of ice slipping.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a plate of the character stated which is of extremely simple construction, which may be manufactured at low cost, which may be applied to a vehicle or other base by those other than skilled mechanics, which does not form an obstruction or otherwise interfere with the use of the running board or other part of the vehicle to which the plate is attached, which is inexpensive in manufacture, and which will prove highly practical and efficient in use.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a conventional type of motor vehicle running board and illustrating the application thereto of an ice supporting plate constructed in accordance with the invention,
Figure 2 is an enlarged plan View of the plate,
Figure 3 is a taken substantially upon line Figure 2,
Figure i is a similar view taken upon line 4.-4 of Figure 2, and
fragmentary sectional view 33 of Serial No. 537,184.
Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view taken upon line 5-5 of F1gure 2.
The invention comprehends generally the arrangement of a metallic plate secured flat upon the upper 7 surface of the running board of a vehicle, or upon any other suitable base, and which is equipped with up standing teeth to bite into the under surface of the ice and to prevent the body of ice slipping or sliding upon the plate. These teeth are preferably disposed at angles to .each other, so that slippage of the ice in any direction will be prevented. More specifically, the plate of ourv inthe form of a thin plate, having openings 7 extending therethrough at suitable places for the reception of reta ning screws, rivets,
bolt-s, nails or the like indicated at 8, in
order that the plate may be securely anchored to the running board 9. The teeth are indicated generally at 10, and include 'vention includes a flat metallic b. as e 6 in:
portions of metalas shown struckup from the body of the plate to constitute obstructions and to bite into the lower surface of a block of ice 11 resting upon the plate. In the present instance, the plate is provided with teeth arranged in longitudinal series thereon, and preferably these teeth are staggered laterally. The teeth of adjacent rows will be disposed at angles to each other, the teeth constituting the extreme end rows shown in Figure 2 preventing movement of the ice block laterally of the plate, while the intermediate row has its teeth disposed so as to resist sliding of the block longitudinally of the plate. If desired, the teeth may be disposed at angles other than those disclosed herein.
running board in the manner shown, and it is apparent that a block of ice placed upon the plate will at once he engaged in its under surface by the upstanding teeth 10 and will be firmly held against sliding longitudinally to be cut entirely through, it is apparent that air may gain access to the under surface of the plate when the latter is not used in supporting an ice block, thereby enabling the water which may have accumulated beneath the plate to quickly dry and to prevent rustmg or decay of the running board as well as corrosion of the plate 6.
While the above is a description of the invention in its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that various changes in the construction and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, if desired, without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the claims.
Having thus fully described our invention, We claim 1. An ice supporting device comprising a plate provided with a roughened surface consisting of rows of teeth arranged in pairs,
the teeth of each pair being formed of opto the teeth of another row or rows to prov vide ice engaging surfaces to prevent a cake of ice from sliding in any direction on the plate.
2. An ice supporting device comprising an oblong rectangular plate provided with a roughened surface consisting of longitudinal rows of teeth arranged in pairs, the pairs of teeth of the rows being disposed in staggered relation to each other, the teeth of each pair being formed of opposed segments of a circle struck up along a diametrical line to provide upstanding oppositely projecting teeth, the teeth of one or more of the rows being arranged at an angle to the teeth of another row or rows to provide ice engaging surfaces to prevent a cake of ice from sliding longitudinally or transversely of the plate.
In testimony whereof we a'fiix our signatures.
