Application June 23, 1933, Serial No. 677,278
2 Claims.
This invention relates to turpentine cups and securing means therefor and one object of the invention is to provide a turpentine cup and securing means so constructed that the cup may be 5 firmly held in its proper place against the bleeding face of the tree and directly under the drain gutters in a vertical or upright position so that the full capacity of the cup can be utilized.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for holding the cup in a definite slanting position, against the tree and under the drain gutters, but on account of this slanting position the cup will hold only a limited amount of liquid so that when it is subjected to freezing, the cup will not be damaged.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for keeping the level of the rain water which gets into the cup slightly below the top of the cup so that flowing gum from the tree which falls on this water will not float outside over the edge of the cup.
The invention is illustrated with the accompanying drawing, wherein Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the cup in an upright position against the bleeding face of a tree below the drain gutters,
Fig. 2 is a view of a part of the cup in section and the hanger in elevation, in position on a tree,
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cup,
Fig. 4 is a perspective of the hanger.
The cup is of clay or similar material having at its top a collar I showing notches 2 in the top edge of the cup permitting enough water to drain from the cup to keep the level slightly below the top of the cup, also notch 2 in conjunction with a notch 3 directly below it in the lower edge of collar I permits the metal holder of the cup to securely lock the cup in an upright position when desired, and in conjunction with notch 4 in lower edge of collar I, slightly offset from notch 3 permits the holder to hold the cup in a desired slanting position.
The holder is cut from fiat smooth metal having sufficient strength and rigidity for the purpose and includes a horizontal section 5 having a pointed end which is driven into the tree by tapping the other end at 5 which has a down pointing short arm which engages the inside of the top of the cup at cups notch 2. Numeral 8 at the base of the 5 holder indicates a lug or projection which is in serted in notch 3 of the cup for holding the cup in an upright position, and which is inserted in notch 4 of the cup for holding the cup in a slanting position. The lug 8 is at the lower end of a long arm 1 and extends therefrom toward a line passing longitudinally through the short arm, the two arms being in spaced parallel co-directional relation. The holder can be driven into a tree and withdrawn when desired and used repeatedly. 15
The improvements represented by this system of holding the cup eliminates the present system of hanging a turpentine cup on a nail protruding through the cup which is unsatisfactory as it does not hold the cup in the most desired position and thereby causes waste and leakage of gum; also the ordinary nail causes many cups to break at the hole where it is inserted.
Having thus described the invention, I claim:
1. A hanger for a turpentine cup comprising a flat elongated horizontal section having a pointed end, a short arm extending vertically downward therefrom, and an intermediate long arm in spaced parallel co -directional relation with the short arm, said long arm having a horizontal lug at its lower end extending toward the short arm.
2. A hanger for a turpentine cup comprising a horizontal section having a pointed end, a vertical relatively long arm extending from said horizontal section to span an annular external rim of a receptacle, a short arm connected with the upper end of the long arm and in spaced parallel codirectional relation therewith to engage over the edge of the receptacle, and a horizontal lug at the lower end of the long vertical arm extending toward the short arm to engage under the bottom edge of the rim of the receptacle.
