This invention relates to petrol and oil or I like containers, and this invention has for its object a combination of such containers so that they may be more conveniently carried on a motor vehicle. v
According to this invention; a petrol con- 'tainer and an oil or the like container are so combined that the containers are detachably fitted together to form a single unit,
"petrol tin and oil'container thereforecan be fix'ed tothe type of spare petrol tincarrier which grips the bottom bead. "As shown in m and the arrangement is characterized inlthat the combined container 1s so constructed that it is adapted to be fixed to the foot or running board of a motorvehicle by means of a spare petrol tin carrier which grips the H5 bottom bead of the container. The combined container convenientlyfforms a rectangular prism and a division passes from or near one corner in a diagonal or inclined direction.
Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combined petrol and oil container.
Figure 2 is a perspective view ofthe petrol and the oil container shown by Figure 1 detached from one another.
Figure 3 is a. side view of the combined petrol and oil container-gripped in a holder for fixing the same to the running or footboard of a motor vehicle. v
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a modified form of this invention in which three containersare combined together to form a single unit, and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the three containers shown by Figure 4 detached from one another. 7
According to a convenient embodiment of this invention, a. petrol container 1, and an oil container 2, are separate members, but when fitted together form the shape of an ordinary rectangular petrol tin. The division between the two containers passes, in this preferred embodiment, from or "near one corner of the combined structurein an inclined direction to the opposite'side of the device. fitted together by. means of the side lips 3 oflthe petrol container engaging the grooves 4.- in the sides of the oil container.
the appearance of a single member.
The two containers are detachably tamer comprising a petrol container having The spring 19fixed to the petrol, container takes,
The petrol container 1 has abottom bead 6 runningtherearound and the oil container 2 has a bottom bead 7 running therearound and when the-two containers are fixed together as shown byFigure 1, the beads 6 and 7 are in alignment. The front taceof the petrol' container passesentirely across the front of the single unityand therefore a straightbeadalso passes a-long the bottom edge o fsuch'i ront face. The combination Figure 3, in one particular form of carrier,
' the' fixed i j aw 8 1 engages the 7 aligned beads 6 and'7-or either- 0f the heads 6 and 7, Whilst the pressure of the movable jaw 9 engages the bead running along the front face of} the petrol container 1. In the form illustrated,'the movable jaw 9 comprises an eccentrically mounted disc. The combined petrol container and oil container thus constructed can also be fixed in position by the type of carrier comprising a bar which passes over the top of the structure. The device further presents an undivided face The petrol container 1 is vention as shown by Figures 4 and 5, a.
petrol container 15, oil container 16', and tool box orother container 17 are combined together to form a singlestructure. The parts are constructed similar to parts 1 and 2 with the exception that both sides of. thepetrol container 15 are constructed to receive triangular containers instead of one side only.
The container 17 may have a hinge lid-18 so that tools or other articles may be conveniently from. (p
Iclaim 1; Acombined petrol oil, and tool conplaced therein or removed therea bead onthe bottom edge, an oilcontainel' having a. bead on. the bottom edge, a tool or other; container having a bead on the bottom edge vertical flanges on opposite corners on two faces of the petrolcontainer to form grooves for receiving the other containers to'combine the containers together as a single unit so that the'bottom edges of such single unit can be gripped on oppo- 7 site sides by the jaws of a holder fixed to the running or foot board of the motor vehicle.
2. A combined petrol and oil container comprising a petrol container witlia bead on the bottom, an oil container with abead on the bottom, which when fitted to the petrol container forms a rectangular prism with a division passing from one front corner in a diagonal or inclined direction so that a single undivided face forms the front of the combined unit, means for fixing the con talners together to form a single unit so between the adjacent faces of the tool containers to prevent rattle.
V 3. A combined petrol and oil container comprising a petrol container havmg an inelined face on one side andhaving a bead on the bottom, an oil.container of the shape of a triangular prism and having a bead on the bottom, which oil container when fitted to the petrol container forms a rectangular prism with one face of the petrol container forming the front face of the rectangular prism, a lip on the end of the latter face and bent at right angles thereto, a lip on the opposite face of this petrol container, grooves in the oil container for engaging against these lips when the oil container is slidden into position, whereby the head on the rear aligned faces of the two containers are in alignment without projections, so that the combined unit can be held. on the running board solely by the edges on the front and rear being gripped between clamping jaws of a holder, and a spring located between the adjacent faces of the two containers to prevent rattle.
