UNITED STATES WILLIAM HARTMAN WOODIN, JR, PLAINFIELD, NEW JERSEY.
STAND FOR CARBOYS.
Application filed October 9, 1926. Serial No. 140,488.
This invention relates to stands or supports for carboys or other liquid containers of large capacity which are usually crated for purposes of protection and are preferably mounted in such a way that they can be tilted to discharge the contents thereof.
A. primary object of the invention is to provide an all-metal stand or support having novel features of construction which contributc materially to the stability and strength of the device as well providing a construction that practically indestructible.
A further object of the invention is to provi de a stand that is light and yet strong due to the reinforcement afforded by the arrangement of structural parts, thereby not only making the device easy to handle but at the same time of adequate strength to support the great weight of the carboys when filled with liquids.
A further object of the invention is to provide a construction which will not yield or give when the ca rboy is tilted and the balance of weight thereof is shifted about the tilting axis.
With the above and other objects in view which will more readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated and claimed.
A preferred and practical embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved stand. the same showing a crated carboy supported therein by dotted lines.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the construction shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. .3 is a detail perspective view of one of the cross braces.
Similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.
In carrying the present invention into effeet it is proposed to provide an all-metal construction that may be made by stamping the parts from sheet metal of suitable gauge or thickness according to the load carrying capacity for which the support is designed.
In that connection. the organization of the invention includes the side members designated generally as 1 and being preferably of the substantially triangular formation shown in Fig. 1 not only for the purpose of economy in manufacture but to locate the tilting axis for the holder H at the apex of the triangle so thatthe rocking of the holder due to the shifting of the weight of the carboy will be adequately distributed and consequently facilitate the pouring of the contents of the carboy C by eliminating unsteadiness; The said side members 1 are preferably provided with an ('uitturned reinforcing flange 2 extending around all sides thereof. and the bot tom corners 3 thereof may be formed as feet by raising the flange :2 at the bottom of the members as indicated in Fig. 1. The central portion of the side plate is preferably provided with an opening 4 which is surrounded by a stiffening and reinforcing head 5 which materially stitl'ens the central portions of the side members and resists any tendency to buckle or warp.
Both side members 1 are of duplicate formation and are tions by the cross braces 6. These braces are preferably of channel formation as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, and the ends thereof are olfset as indicated at 7 to provide an attaching flange. This flange may be secured to the side members by means of rivets. bolts or the like or may be spot welded in accordance with any of the well known methods for con necting metal to metal surfaces. As shown in the drawings these braces not only space the side members 1-1 but also securely unite the base portions of said members in such a my that they are rigidly and strongly connee-ted. will be observed that the same is preferably of greater width than the channel portion of the body of the brace, being connected with the sides of the channel by the integral fillet portion 7 which effectively resist any bending stresses induced by lateral thrusts due to side shifting of the weight in the carboy. and preventthe focusing of such stresses at the point of connection between the braces and the side members.
The holder H for the crate of the carboy is preferably of skeleton or cage-like formation and includes a top member 8 and depending strap members 9 and 10 which are of substantially U-shaped formation and are suspended from the member 8 in such a way that they cross each other at right angles at the bottom of thehol'der. Also the top member 8 has securely fastened thereto the suspension straps 11 which extend downwardly into the zone of the apices of the side members 1 connected at their lower por- In connection with the flange 7 it thereby to stiffen and reinforce the crate at the point where the axis thereof is to be formed with the side members. As will be observed from the drawings the said suspension straps are adapted to receive one end of the bolt members 12 which constitute the tilting axis of the holder, and in order to properly space the holder from the side plates and yet take up all side motion a filler disk 13 is preferably placed between the outer face of the strap and the side member, and likewise the side members 1 are each formed with a thimble portion 1 to provide an extended bearing for the bolt, or its equivalent, which constitute the axis. \Vhen the nuts are drawn up tightly on the bolts 12 it will be apparent that the upper ends of the members 1 are connected in such a way that they are very stable, and yet the holder H may freely rock on the axis provided by the bolts 12.
For the purpose of keeping the wood crate which usually surrounds the glass carboy in the holder H, any suitable form of retaining means may be utilized. An example of such means is shown in the drawings and preferably consists of the U-slnnped bracket let carried by the top member 8, and pivotally supporting between the ears thereof a cam member 15 which is adapted to manipulate a keeper hook 16. The shank of this hook extends upwardly between the pivot 15 of the cam 15 and the inner face of the bracket. The upper end of the hook may be moved into engagement with the edge of the crate by pulling the cam 11.5 outwardly and, conversely, may be released by pushing the cam 15 in wardly.
Vith the foregoing it is thought that it will be apparent that the present invention provides a simple, practical, and durable construction having special features of coustruction which provide a device of great utility in its line. It will oilf course be understood that changes, in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be ire-- sorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the appended claim.
I claim A support for dispensing containers comprising pressed metal side plates formed with ofi'set peripheral siill'ening flanges and a central stifi'eningbcad surrounding an opening, transverse cross-braces having a body of channel formation and attaching end por' tions of greater width than the channel, said attaching end portions being connected integrall y with the sides of the channel portions by movement resistii g fillet portions, fastening means for connecting said attaching end portions to the side plates, and a crate holder pivotally supported between the side plates and hung at the upper ends thcreo i. .In testimony whereof I hereunto aliix my signature.
