BARREL FILLING DEVICE Filed July 8, 1950 l Inventor fizz/2547254,
By QM A llorney Patented Oct. 27, 1931 UNITED STATES REX R. RANDALL, OF- GIBBON, NEBRASKA BARREL FILLING DEVICE Application filed July 8, 1930. Serial No. 466,500.
This invention relates to an appliance in the nature of a funnel, but more specifically known as a filling device which is expressly designed for filling barrels and drums such as are employed commercially for containing lubricating oils, gasoline, and analagous fuel products.
Barrels and drums of this type are usually constructed of metal and are generally heavy and unwieldy to handle. Secondly, on account of the bung or filling hole being disposed in the end or head, they cannot, with the ordinary funnel, be easily filled and disposed in a substantially horizontal plane, in which position they are ordinarily used for convenience of storage, shipping, and dispensing.
The present filling device is constructed to enable filling of a horizontally disposed drum or barrel and provides an exceptionally simple and effective structure which is susceptible of easy application and use and which is such in construction as to permit it to be self-retained against displacement during the filling operation.
An important object is founded on the configuration which provides for security in maintenance in that it fits snugly on top of the barrel and flush with the ends of the barrel to make it possible to rest a container on the front end of the barrel of filling device when pouring the liquid into it.
More explicitly recited, the filler is characterized by a horizontal body portion and a depending vertical receptacle portion, the receptacle portion constituting an abutment or shoulder which can be shoved up against the end edge in such a manner as to insure the aforesaid security of maintenance while resting the pouring container directly on the filling device.
A further feature is founded on the posi tioning of the spout at the discharge end of the depending receptacle portion in such a manner as to reduce the friction of liquid flow to a minimum, whereby to facilitate filling.
Other features and advantages will become more apparent from the following description and drawings.
In the drawings: V
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a filler in position on the barrel.
Figure 2 is a transverse section through the device.
Figure 3 is a top plan view thereof. The device is formed from a single body of metal including the horizontal substantially rectangular portion 4. This is formed around itstop with a marginal internal antisplash flange 5. The bottom is V-shaped as indicated at 6 and the apex portion thereof projects centrally into the midway part of thebody. M,
The depending end portion 7 is somewhat V-shaped in end elevation. It thereby provides an abutment which may be shoved directly up against the end or head of the drum, barrel or the like 8. In the crotch or seat of this depending receptacle portion 7 is an tom of the horizontal pan portion prevents splashing of the liquid and facilitates the drain therefrom into the receptacle portion 7.
The guard flange 5 permits the liquid from slopping over the edge portions during the pouring process. The spout is so adjusted as to fit all types of oil and gas barrels rcgardless of shape and size and also the length of the spout is compartively short to cut down the friction and increases the flow. Especially is this true when lubricating oil is poured through it.
The size of the filler and the reduction of filler is such that the liquid, if gasolene, kerosene or water, is poured into the horizontal pan portion from a. five gallon container. the filler will dispose of it in almost instantaneous fashion. Otherwise stated, a five gallon container for liquid of high fluidity, can be emptied into the filler as fast as one can pour it without it running over, de- 7 spite the fact that the-pan portion has capacity for tWo gallons only. i
It is thought that persons skilled in-the art 5 to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the inven-" tion a-fterrconsiderin thegdravrings; in conqn. withtheides'cription- .rT-llerexfore' more lengthy description is regardedas un- 10 necessary.
