' ATTORNEYS.
Patented May 28, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 4 Claims.
This invention relates to service stations and the like, dispensing fluid supplies.
An object of the invention is to provide means whereby a larger number of vehicles may be simultaneously supplied with fluids which are stored in apparatus of the character to which the invention pertains.
Another object of the invention is to' provide an apparatus or structure of the kind stated which is of a superior space economizing character. More specifically stated it is a part of this object to provide a combined display, storage and dispensing structure which will have a larger relative amount of unobstructed floor space or ground space therebeneath in order that said space may be used as in a drive-in" market to furnish more standing room for customers vehicles.
Still another object of the invention is to provide, to cooperate with other features of the in-' vention, an improved extensible conduit supporting construction to supply fluids to self-propelled vehicles over alarge unobstructed area of floor space.
i The invention is shown in the drawing embodied, by way of example, in a buildingstructure equipped as an automobile service station.
Other objects, advantages, and features of the invention may hereinafter appear.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, which illustrates what is at present deemed to' be a preferred embodiment of the invention,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a service station constructed in accordance with the principles of 35 the invention. Y
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the structure shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the means for extensibly supporting one of the flexibleconduits. Fig. 4 is an elevation of one of the dispensing units.
Fig. 5 is a plan ratus.
Referring in detail to the drawing, upon the 4 two front columns 5 and 6 is supported a truss l to the under side of which are secured the I- beams 8 and 9 at their front ends. The opposite ends of said I-beams are supported by a rear 'frame III in front of a rear building I2. Said 50 building I2 is utilized to store a; portion of the liquids and other supplies to be dispensed and displayed.
Upon the I- beams 8 and 9 is supported a building structure l3 which may also be used to store various liquids to be dispensed.
view of a portion of the appa- Secured between andsupported by the I- beams 8 and 9 are auxiliarysupporting beams l5 which support gasoline dispensing units l6, oil dispensing units l1, and preferably centrally of the structure, a water supply unit l8 and an air supply 5 unit I But. These dispensing units display the liquids to be dispensed to drivers of approaching vehicles while still in an adjacent roadway.
In Figs. 3 and 4 is shown the construction of a mounting means for these units, all of which may be of a similar design. In Fig.4 the reservoir 20 is shown mounted on the-upper side of the I-beam l5, and the hose housing 2| secured to the lower side of said beam. Within said housing is shown a supply hose' 22 which passes around a set'of pulleys 23 and around another set of pulleys 24, positioned to the left and right of one another respectively. These pulleys are extensibly anchored to internal casing lugs 25 by means of springs 26. Near the opening 21 of said housing is stationed a guide pulley 28. Around said opening 21 is a guiding lip 29. Pipes 22a connect the flexible conduits 22 with the tanks 18. g
In Fig. 2 an underground gas tank 30 is shown which supplies gasoline to the various gas units 5 through a main supply pipe 3|.
The portion 33 of the flexible conduit 22, which projects below the opening 21 of the housing, carries a fluid meter 34 and is furnished with a manually operable cut-off valve 35.
Referring to certain improved details, the I- beams IS, with their upper flanges l5a and lower flanges 15b are suited to combine in an advantageous manner with the tanks 20 and housing; 2|, because they afford flat surfaces against which the tank and housing abut, and bolts or rivets l5a: pass through holes in' said flanges to secure the tanks 20 andhousings 2| in their proper positions.
The piping 40, in front of the supply room or building l3, supplies the fluids being dispensed from the reservoirs ll to the various dispensing units.
I claim:
1. In axst'ructure for the purpose stated, a transversely extending beam, means to support said beam at its end portions in an, elevated position, a tank mounted on said beam in spaced relation to its ends, a flexible conduit communicatingwith said tank, and means supported by said beam to extensibly support said conduit.
2. In a structure for the purpose stated, supporting means; and a fluid dispensing unit thereby supported in an elevated position, said unit including a fluid supply means, a flexible conduit communicating with said supply means, a housing for said conduit, a plurality'oi pulleys within said housing, said conduit being led over said pulleys, and springs whereby said pulleys are yieidingly anchored to said housing. 3. In a structure for the purpose stated, sup-.
porting means; and a fluid dispensing unit thereby supported in an elevated position, said unit including a fluid supply means, a flexible conduit communicating with said supply means, a plurality oi pulleys arranged in two sets which are spaced apart, said conduit being led alternately over the pulleys of different sets, a support for spaced relation to them both, and springs having inner ends secured to said pulleys and outer ends anchored to said support.
4. In a structure for the purpose stated, a transversely extending;beam, means to support said beam at opposite end portions in an elevated position with a sumcient clearance vertically therebeneath to admit an automobile, and a plurality of. dispensing units mounted on said beam at diiierent points along its length, there being flexible dispensing conduits which form part of said units.
