Application June 28, 1935, Serlal No. 28,948
3 Claims. (Cl. 220-87) of the general character of the device of the aforesaid prior patent, but wherein the number of parts has been substantially reduced without 10 impairing the efllciency and practicability ofthe attachment, and wherein the improved device is more readily manipulable and more easily and inexpensively manufacturable.
The desirability of garbage disinfecting devices 15 of the character here involved, which are adapted to contain and to disseminate suitable disinfecting chemical vapors or the like whereby breeding of flies and similar health-endangering vermin is effectually prevented, is obvious. As a matter of fact, the Public Health Service of the United States is constantly conducting a campaign intended to educate the population in the use of such fly-destroying devices.
According to the present invention, an improved device is provided whereby the construction and mode of operation of applicants prior device are appreciably simplified without prejudicing the several advantages obtained by the latter and, as a matter of fact, adding to such 30 advantages.
Thus, the device according to the present application may be readily associated with garbage cans of standard construction and conventional form, such as are now available on the market. In addition, slight modification of a part of such standard constructions may enable such part to effect the function of an element of the attachment embodiment of the invention, whereby the latter is further appreciably simplified.
As in the previous arrangement, the device according to the present invention may be mounted, without involving the use of. tools other than those commonly available in the ordinary home, at various locations on the garbage can, such as the top, side, or bottom thereof, depending upon the character of the specific disinfecting agent employed, as will appear more clearly from the detailed description of the invention hereinafter set forth.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily ap parent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains from the following disclosure thereof. Applicants novel and improved 55 relationships of parts are set forth in detail in thefollowing description, which will be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, illustrating several embodiments of the invention.
Similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of drawing, of which:
Fig. 1 is a view, partly in elevation and partly in section, of apart of a garbage can in which the present invention hasbeen incorporated;
as seen in the direction of arrow A of Fig, 1; i Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken substantially along line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a detached view of the disinfectant container per se, according to the present invention; and I e V Fig. 5 is a sectional view showing a modified embodiment of the invention in connection with the cover of a garbage can.
Reference numeral I0 designates a conventional construction of garbage can which is closed at the top by a manually removable flanged cover I Fig. 2 is a view of the attachment unit per se,
H provided with the usual handgrip l2. A suitable articulated handle member l3 for carrying the can about is shown at l3. It will be understood, of course, thatthe garbage can may alsci assume the form shown 111' applicants prior patent, aforementioned, or any other suitable or desired form.
In the arrangement of parts illustrated in Fig. l, the garbage disinfecting device, which constitutes the present invention proper, is shown as attached to the side wall of can Hi. It will be understood, in this regard, that the device may also be attached, in analogous manner, to the cover or bottom of the can, depending upon the specific type of disinfecting chemical employed.
Thus, if the disinfectant agent is of a type which evolvesvapors heavier than air, the attachment is preferably arranged to depend from the cover.
If, on the other hand, vapors materially lighter] than air are evolved, it may be preferred to mount the attachment on the'inner surface of the can bottom. An advantage of positioning the attachment on the side wall of the can intermethe garbage disinfecting device or attachment comprises a base plate or mounting plate or supporting plate I4 and a c'oacting disinfectant container or receptacle l5.
' The base or mounting plate It is preferably r the configuration clearly shown in Fig. 2 of 5 the drawing, that is, it comprises a. substantially circular central portion i6 provided with diametrically opposite tonguelike extensions W. The 5 central portion 16 is preferably somewhat larger than the top or open end of container i5, where'- by it may constitute a closure for such open. end. Tonguelik'e extensions I! are preferably perforated for the passage of suitable threaded at- 10 tachlng bolts l8. i
' Plate It may be readily stamped out from suitable sheet metal, and by employing a suitable die, an intermediate portion iii of the plate may simultaneously be displaced from the body of the plate, as shown in Figs. ,2 and 3, to form a tonguereceivin slotor opening 20.
' The disinfectant container I5 is preferably dish-shaped, asshown on the drawing, andis preferably provided at its upper edge (i. e., the
opening defining edge) with a bent-overflange 2i which extends entirely therearound except as hereinafter set forth. Intermediate the top and vbottom thereof, the wall of the container l5-.is
provided with a plurality of perforations 22, substantlally as illustrated. The other terminal end or bottom 23 of thecontainer is imperforate. 3
Bottom 23 v is preferably connected to the main wall of the container by an outwardly flared portion '24. This arrangement provides a shoulder or groove adjacent the bottom 23 which affords into extension 26 which, as shown more particularly in Fig. 3, may be somewhat offset to impart resilience thereto. Extension. 26 is preferably slotted as at 21 (Fig. 2) to receive the corresponding attaching bolt l8.
' As shown on the drawing, container I5 is associated with its mounting plateor support it by slipping tongue 25 into slot 20 and bydisposing slot 21 on the correspondingzbolt i8. Wing nuts 28 are mounted on bolts [8 for retaining the parts in place. A nut 29 may be arranged on bolt l8 between plate l4 and extension 26 to retain the plate in place notwithstanding removal of the corresponding wing nut 28 upon removal of container l5 for refilling or,other purposes.
Nut29 is particularly useful in the event this em- ...bodiment of the invention; is mounted in depend-'- 30 ing relationship from the top-or cover of the In the "embodiment shown in Fig.- 5, mounting plate I4. is omitted and the function thereof'is effected by the garbage can cover 30. To this a5 end, the latter is, of course, provided with a slot 20' adapted to receive tongue 25. Elimination of mounting plate I 4 also involves elimination of the particular retaining means set forth in connection with the aforedescribed embodiment of the invention. In the embodiment accordingto Fig. 5, extension 26 is replaced by an unslotted 5 extension 26' provided with a tereminal bead 26".
' A suitably bent springplate Si is provided on the interior of cover 30, and extension 26' and its bead 26" coast with the said spring plate to releasably retain the attachment in place. Any desirable or suitable form of disinfectant material may be disposed in container it. This material isindicated diagrammatically in broken lines at 32. If solid, it is placed directly within container l5; if liquid, it may be appliedto waste or the like which is then placed in the container. If powdered, it may be enclosed within a textile bag or the like which is then disposed in the container. The chemical vapors evolved from the disinfectant material pass into the interior of the arbage can through the openings in the wall of thecontainer. Although preferred details of the invention have been described at some length, it is .not thereby intended to limit the scope of the invention or otherwise than by the terms of the claims hereunto appended.
Having disclosed the invention, what is claimed is: V e
1. An attachment of the character described, particularly adapted for use with conventional garbage can constructions, said attachment comprising a base plate, bolt-and-nut means for attaching said plate to said can construction, a disinfectant container adapted to be releasably mounted-on said b'aseplate, said base plate being deformed to provides, tohgue-receivin opening. therein and said container beingprovid d with a projecting tongueadapted to be arranged in said opening when said container is in mounted positidn, and means for retaining said container in mounted position while permitting ready .dis-
mounting thereof. 2. The construction defined in claim' 1, said last-named means comprising a slotted tongue extending from said container, said slotted tongue being operatively associated with a portion of said bolt-and-nut means} one bolt of the latter passing through said slot. 7
