Description
April 5, 1932. F. E. TAYLOR ET AL l 1,852,597
AQUARIUM Filed Dec. l0. 1930 9 Trop/Vir Patented pr. 5, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FAY E. TAYLOR AND JAMES M. CONXVAY, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI AQUARIUM Application filed December 10, 1930. Serial No. 501,261.
This invention relates' to aquariums and more particularly to a combined steel and glass container which may be used as an aquarium or Jfor other purposes.
j The primary object of this invention is to produce a glass and metal container of great strength and durability at a minimum cost, the metal portion of which may be stamped from a single strip of sheet metal it and formed into proper shape, welded together at a single point.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be disclosed in the speciication, claim and drawings, in which:
12T Fig. 1 shows the sides, ends and legs of our invention blanked from a single sheet of metal.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a completed structure.
i3 Fig. 3 is an end elevation of a completed structure.
Fig. 4 is a cross-section along the line 4 4 in Fig. 2.
The preferred method of construction of i3 our invention consists of the use of a strip of sheet metal blanked out, as shown in Fig. 1. The upper marginal edge of the blank is provided with three angle slots, designated as 1, 2 and 3. The lower marginal edge of the C) blank is provided with four depending -projections, designated as 4, 5, 6, and 7. Outouts for the ends are designated as 8 and 9, and for the sides, as 10 and 11.
The metal is severed from the legs at 12,
i so that the lower portion 13 of the strip is turned inwardly at a rightangle along the line 14, forming a substantial support for the bottom, and at the same .time strengthening the sides. Likewise, along the upper l5 marginal edge 15 of the strip is turned inwardly at a rightangle along the line 16; likewise, the sides and ends 8 are turned at rightangles; and, also, at 19, so that the portions 8 and 9 lay parallel with each other and.
- the portions 10 and 11 lay parallel with each other and at rightangles to the portions 8 and 9, forming a complete quadrilateral.
Vhen the metal is thus formed into sha-pe, the edges 19 and 2O are welded together.
53 Glass sides and bottom are formed by the introduction of panes of glass cut to snugly lit the iron framework, and which are embedded in suitable cement or putty having the characteristic of hardening under water.
Having fully described o-ur invention, what 55 we claim as new and useful and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
An aquarium and receptacle of the class described, comprising a. metal frame made of a single strip or" sheet metal, said frame having four legs cut free on two sides so as to project downwardly in the samev plane as the sides when the frame is formed into a quadrilateral, the side and end portions of said frame having both their upper and their lower marginal edges turned inwardly at rightangles to the sides and ends of said frame, glass sides, glass ends and a glass bottom disposed within said frame and cemented thereto.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto aflixed our signatures this 20th day of November, 1930.
F AY E. TAYLOR. JAMES M. CONWAY.
