Description
July 3, 1934. I L. D, FOSTER 1,965,545
PRICE INDICATOR 7 Filed July 27, 1933 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented July 3, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in the art of indicators, and more particularly to a novel price indicator especially adapted for use on gasoline pump bowls.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an indicator for gasoline pump bowls which will serve to instantaneously indicate to the purchaser of gasoline and to the pump attendant the price of the amount of gasoline dispensed.
During the course of the following specification and claim, other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader.
In the drawings:-
Figure 1 represents a side elevational view of the indicator.
Figure 2 represents a side elevational view of the indicator, looking at the opposite side from that shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 represents a top plan view of the indicator.
Figure 4 represents a perspective view of the frame of the indicator.
Figure 5 represents an enlarged top plan view of one of the pointer units.
Figure 6 represents a vertical sectional view taken substantially on line 6-6 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen in Figure 4 that numeral 5 represents a U-shaped frame, the upstanding leg portion a of which is substantially longer than the leg I). Numeral c represents the bight porton of this frame. Numerals 6--'? represent the upper and lower brackets of the indicator, each bracket consisting of an elongated strap bent in substantial U-shape and provided with extensions 8 for attachment to some stationary part of the gasoline pump (not shown) The lower bracket 7 is of the same construction, the lower bracket 7 extending along the bight portion 0 of the frame 5. The upper end portions of the legs ab extend upwardly through the bracket 6 and securing elements 9 on both the upper and lower brackets 6'7 serve to clamp these bracket members against the corresponding leg portions. As is clearly shown in Figure 6, the bight portion 0 of the frame 5 in extending longitudinally within the lower bracket 7, serves as a support for the two upright glass panels 1010, the upper ends of which terminate within the confines of the upper bracket 6 and a bolt 11 can be employed for securing the intermediate portions of the bracket 6 in clamping engagement with the upper ends of the panels 1010, as is clearly shown in Figure 6.
units 12 are each constructed as is shown in Figure 5, of a single piece of strap iron having its intermediate portion bent to provide a U-shaped frame structure for encompassing the leg portion b, this frame portion being denoted by numeral 13, while the end portions form outwardly extending legs 14-14 positioned in diverged relation and each having a pointed extremity 15 for termination in close proximity to the gasoline pump bowl. Bolt members 16 extend through these frame-like portions 13 of the units 12 and secure these pointer units in the same plane with the corresponding price quotations on the panels 1010.
Obviously, the price panels can be readily changed as the price of gasoline fluctuates and obviously, the pointer units 12 are so positioned as to afford a predetermined understanding of just how much gasoline has been dispensed when the level of gasoline in the bowl reaches a particular pointer unit.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:-
A price indicator of the character described comprising a U-shaped frame, a bracket structure secured to the upper and lower portions of the frame, the lower bracket being of U-shape and having its side portions passing longitudinally of the bight portion of the U-shaped frame, a price panel disposed within the frame and having its lower end resting upon the bight portion of the frame and disposed within the confines of the lower bracket, the upper end of the panel being disposed within the confines of the upper bracket, and pointer elements projecting laterally of the price panel.
