CORPORATION 0F MICHIGAN v DRH. PAN FOR OUTBYOARD MOTORS Appucafien med July 5, 192s. serial'No. 290,305.
The present invention' pertains to a novel drip pan for outboard motors, and the principal object is to provide a construction wherein leakage from the carburetor or the breather ipe or both will be discharged overboard rat er than on the stern of the boat, although the carburetor and the breather pipe mag. e disposed directly above the stern.
device of this character eliminates the fire risk at parts of the boat which ordinarily become soaked with gasoline leaking through the breather pipe and falling on the transom and rear seat. Moreover, the boat is kept in a neater or cleaner condition when such leaking gasoline is discharged Aoverboard.
T he object of the invention is accomplished by supporting a drip pan beneath the breather pipe or carburetor, or both, preferably as an integral part of the motor structure, and
provided with an outlet so arranged with respect to the usual clamp so that the gasoline discharged over-board when the motor is clamped in the usual manner to the stern of the boat.
The invention is fully disclosed by way of example in the following description and in the accompanying drawing, which shows in elevation an outboard motor equipped with the invention and attached to a boat.
The numeral 1 indicates in general a motor vstructure of the outboard type having a swivel connection 2 to a clamp 3. The latter has an inclined clamping plane 4 which is brought to vbear against the outer surface of the. transom 5 of a boat and is held in this position by a screw 6 threaded through the forward end of the clamp and bearing against 'the forward surface of the transom 5.
Io the motor structure is secured atiller 7 whereby the motor may be swung on a vertical pivot for steering urposes and ona horizontal pivot, .around t e swivel connection 2, in order to lift the propeller 8 when in shallow water. The latter movement is limited by'means of a socket 9 carried by acurved slotted member 10 fixed to the clamp 3.-
The motor has the usual breather pipe 11 leading to the carburetor, and this pipe normally lies vertical above the stern of the boat.`
It is well known that this relation of parts results in the transom 5 and rear seat l2 becoming soaked with gasoline leaking from the carburetor and this pipe. It will be obvious that these asoline soaked parts present a dangerous hre risk'and also an untidy and disagreeable condition. This diliculty is overcome by supporting /a 'drip pan 13 beneath the pipe in a manner to turn and tilt the motor, preferably as an integral part of the motor structure l. This pan has an outlet 13 so arranged as to discharge over-board when the clamp is applied to thetransom 5. The relation of 'the outlety` may .bei more specifically described as rearward of the clamping plane 4, the result of which is that A the drippings from the outlet fall overboard without striking the transom or rear seat.
Although a specific embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be understood that various alterations in the details of construction may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as indicated by the appended claims.
What we claim is:
1. In an outboard motor having a carburetor, a clamp, and a drip pan supported beneath said carburetor and having an outlet, the relation of said carburetor, clamp and drip pan being such that when the clamp is applied to the stern of a boat, the carburetor lies over said stern and the outlet is positioned to discharge outside of said stern.
2. In anoutboard motor having a clamp adapted for attachment a carburetor having a part dispo/sed forward of the clamping plane, and a drip pan supto the'stern of a boat,
ported beneath said part and having an outlet adapted to discharge rearwardly of said clamping plane.
3. In an outboard motor having a carbui 2 iffaaei@ adapted for attachment to the stern on? a heat a carbureor havin a part dispose forwar of the clamping p ane, and a drip pan integral With said motor supported beneath sai part and havin ,an outlet adapted to dischar e rearwargiy of said damping plane. 5. n a swivel outboard motor, a clam adapted to attach said motor to -he Stern 0i a boat, a carburetor having a part forward i@ of the plane of said clamp, and a drip pan supported by said motor arranged te tilt with Y the motor, and having an outlet adaped aa discharge rearward O said clamping piane. 6. In a swivel outboard meier, a clamp l5 adaped to atach said moor zo "che stem of a hoa'i;6 a carbureor having pari, forward o the damping piane of said damp, ami a drip para integral with saii moor arranged it@ turn the motor and having outie; 2@ adapted to discharge rearward ei: said; ciampiiig plane.
