Description
i atented Dec. 5, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFiCE BARREL RACK Alton Howard Sissom, Alvarado, Tex. Application February 9, 1939, Serial No. 255,532
2 Claims.
The invention relates to a rack and more especially to a barrel rack.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a rack of this character, wherein a metal support is so constructed as to enable the clamping of a barrel or other cylindrical body'in a racked position, holding the same elevated from a foundation, the rack being of a construction to allow for its adjustment whereby barrels or other like articles can be held in a racked position.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a rack of this character, wherein the construction thereof is such that a barrel will be cradled in an elevated position and firmly held without liability of the barrel rolling off of the rack or side tilting thereof, the said rack being useful as a store fixture so that the contents of the barrel or the like can be readily and conveniently dispensed without inconvenience.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a rack of this character, which is extremely simple in its construction, thoroughly reliable and efficient in operation, light in weight yet strong, durable, being portable, and is inexpensive to manufacture.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure l is a top plan view of, a rack constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevation showing a barrel, partly broken away, held by the rack.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Similar reference characters indicate corres-' ponding parts throughout the several views'in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates generally the rack constructed in accordance with the invention and B, for illustrative purposes, a barrel to be held by the rack. The rack A comprises a substantially U-shaped frame |ll, preferably made from a channeled bar of substantially U-shape in cross section throughout its extent while carried by this frame If] is a pair of spaced parallel feet pieces I 1, these being disposed crosswise to the perpendicular disposition of the said frame l0 so that the latter, when resting upon a foundation, floor or the like, will be prevented from lateral tipping or turning over, the feet pieces being permanently joined with the frame and extend laterally therefrom in opposite directions the desired extent for assuring a fixed condition in the use of the said rack.
The frame Ill has reversely extended horizontally disposed out-turned ends 52, the channels therein forming guideways for the shanks it of slidable clamping hooks I l, these in the shanks being longitudinally slotted at 5 for the passage therethrough of winged nut-carrying bolts l6, which are engaged in the said ends [2, and in this manner the clamps can be fastened in adjusted position on the frame it). The clamps engage with the end ll of the barrel B, as is clearly shown in Figure 2 of the drawing, so that f said barrel will be held in saddles l8 which are also fixed to the ends 12 and disposed crosswise thereof.
The barrel B, when in the saddles I8, is engaged by the clamps It and will be securely cradled for the supporting of the said barrel in an elevated position with respect to a founda tion and racked.
Within the frame is a bracing rod l9, which is welded or otherwise secured at opposite sides of the frame I0 so as to avoid the spreading of this frame from its normal posed condition and in this way avoiding any possibility of the accidental release of the clamps I4 when engaged with the barrel in the racking thereof, as before set forth. The feet pieces II are preferably built for association. therewith of casters (not shown) for the purpose of easily shifting or moving the barrel rack about when it is used on a fioor or smooth surface.
What is claimed is:
1. A rack of the kind described comprising a substantially U-shaped frame formed from a single length channeled bar having out-turned horizontally disposed uppermost ends, a brace bridging said frame, foot pieces carried by said frame at the lowermost portion thereof and projected laterally from opposite sides thereof, barrel clamps or hoops counterseated in the channeled ends, one being slidable therein, and barrel saddles on said ends.
2. A rack of the kind described comprising a substantially U-shaped frame formed from a single length channeled bar having out-turned horizontally disposed uppermost ends, a brace bridging said frame, foot pieces carried by said frame at the lowermost portion thereof and projected laterally from opposite sides thereof, barrel clamps or hoops counterseated in the channeled ends, one being slidable therein, barrel saddles on said ends, and a nut carrying bolt engaging the slidable hoop and the end having it fitted thereto for adjustably holding said slidable hoop in a fixed position.
