The present invention relates to an improvement in outboard motor stands and deals particularly with a type of stand which may be folded up when not in use and which provides a convenient support for an outboard motor.
Outboard motors are often somewhat awkward to handle when they are not in use. Such motors often are provided with projecting portions of a relatively fragile or breakable type which may be injured if sufcient pressure is exerted theree against. Furthermore, the fuel tanks of such motors are usually provided with vent openings which are sometimes not closed and when a motor having such avent is resting upon its side the fuel is apt to leak from this vent opening to drain over the surface of the motor and the floor beneath the motor. For these and other reasons it is desirable to support the outboard motor in a generally upright position when not in use.
The object of the present invention lies in the provision of a simple stand capable of supporting an outboard motor. Motors of this type are usually provided with clamps by means of which they may be securedsuspended over the rear end of a row boat or the like. The present supporting stand is provided with a transverse ledge over which the motor' clamps may be engaged so as to hold the motor suspended in much the same Way as it would be suspended from the rear of a boat. l
A feature of the present invention lies in the fact that the stands are collapsible in form and may be folded into a substantially nat package. Outboard motors' are often transported from place to place anda stand is convenient to use in any location. `By providing a structure which will fold flat, a stand is provided which may be easily transported in a minimum of space. v
An added feature of the present invention lies in the provision of a drip trough supported beneath thelower end ofthe motor. Most outboard motors include a propeller shaft which extends downwardly into the water, the shaft' usually beingprovided with a propeller on an axis at right angles to the supporting shaft. Water and oil sometimes drain from the motor particularly after the operation thereof and this Water and oil usually drains down the casing toward the propeller and drops from the lower end of the propeller casing. A drain trough is provided immediately below the centerof the stand so as to catch any water, oil, or fuel which drains from the motor. This trough also acts to catch any fuel draining down the exterior of the motor casing-t 3 Claims, (Cl. 248-43) Thesev and other objects and novel features of the present invention will be more clearly and fully set forth in the following specification and claims.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the lower end -l' of the stand shown in Figure 5.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of a stand very similar to the stand shown in Figure 5. y
Figure 8 is a perspective View of another modii-led form of Stand.` i
Figure 9 is a side elevational View of the drip pan shown in the stand of `Figure 3.
Figure 10 is a View similar to Figure 1 showing an outboard motor in position upon the stand.
The outboard motor stand A illustrated in Figures l throughi of the drawings is supported for movement over the surface oi the ground. This stand includes a pair of spaced wheels I il mounted upon a common axle II. A pair of up-` wardly and inwardly converging angle liembers i2 and I 3 are apertured near their lower ends to accommodate the axle Ii. The angle members I2 and I3 are connected at their upper exm tremity by a generally rectangular block of Wood I4 which is preferably ci substantial thickness so that the clamps of the motor may engage over the same in the same way as if the member i2 comprised the back end of a boat. U-shaped supporting member indicated in general by the numeral i5 is pivotally connected at its upper end to the angle members it and I 3.
The Ueshapedsupporting member it includes a pair of generally parallel spaced arms it and il connected by a base portion it. The base portion I9 is preferably substantially parallel to the wheel axle I I in assembled position of the apparatus.
A drip trough 2li is pivotally supported upon the axle II between the wheels it. The drip trough 20 includes a generally cylindrical hollow barrel 2| which is at one' end thereof to pivotally connect thetrough with the axle I I. The trough A generally i position.
20 includes a generally iiat body 22 having a pair of spaced upwardly extending flanges 23 along opposite sides thereof. A hook shaped portion 24 is provided at the other end of the drip trough, the hook end 24 being of proper dimensions to support the drip trough in a rearwardly and downwardly inclined position and to accommodate'the cross member I5 of the bracket i5. u
The manner in which the upper ends o1 the arms I and I'I are connected to the angle members I2 and I3 is best illustrated in Figure of the drawings. rlhe ends of the arms l5 and Il extend outwardly in aligned relation, the ends 25 of the two arms being axially aligned. A reduced diameter end portion 25 is provided on each portion 25, this end portion being deslgned .to extend through a suitable aperture 2l in an angle member i2 or i3. The end of the reducedV diameter portion 25 is riveted overas indicated at 29 so as to hold the bracket pivotally supported with respect to the angle members I2 and i3.
As: yalso indicated in the drawings a rounded generally semi-circular guard member 3i! Vis.
pivotally connected to the angle members I2 and I3; The guard member 30 is designed to encircle the bodyfof an outboard motor and to prevent injury to parts thereof. The ends of the loop 35 are flattened at 3l as best indicated 1n Figure 3 of the drawings and the attened ends are perforated to'vencircle the reduced diameter end portion 26 of the arms I5 and Il. Friction washers 32 may be interposed between the flattened arm end 3l and the angleV members I2 and I3 and betweenthe flattened arm ends and the shoulder 33 at the juncture between the arm portions 25 and the reduced diameter ends 25. Thus the guard loop'30 tends to remain in adjusted As shown in VFigures l and 2 of the ldrawings a pair of togglelinks may connect the'loop 35 to one of the angle members such as I2 so as to (definitely hold the guard loop 35 in fixed relation to theremainder of the stand. Links 315 and 3e Y 4 indicated in general by the numeral 42 and includes a pair of spaced angle members 43 and 44 which are connected at opposite ends by cross members 45 and 46. A drip trough 4l is secured to the cross members 45 and 45, mid-way between the angles 43 and 44. The drip trough 4l includes a flat bottom portion AI9 and spaced parallel side flanges 55 along opposite longitudinal edges thereof. The trough 4l is normally positioned beneath the lowermost portion of the motor and therefore acts to catch water, .oil and fuel which might drain from the motor.
A pair of aligned apertures 5IV extend through the angles 43 and 44 near the forward end thereare pivotally' connected at 36 and are so arranged as to pivot slightly beyond aligned position and to be limited at this point. The arm 34 is plvotally connected at 3l to the loop 30 and the armV shown in Figure 2, the guard loop 35 may beV swung substantially into the plane of theangle members I2 and I3.Y Y Y s A spring may connect the angle members i2 and I3 and a' chain or spring 5I may also conneet these members near, the lower end thereof.
These elements 40 and il merely act as an additional support for a motor mounting upon the block I4. The manner in which the stand A may fold is believed obvious from 4an examination of 'Figure 2 of the drawings.
The drip trough 25 may fold upwardly into the plane of the angle members I2 and I3 Vand the supporting stand I5 may also fold against the frame. The guard loop 30 may also fold into the planer'of the angles Y VI2 Vand I3 as previously described, and thusthe entire device may fold into a Very Vcompact form for storage or transportation.
In Figures 5 and 6 of the drawings an outboard motor stand B is disclosed which is quite similar to the stand A, but is somewhat simpler in form. The stand B includesa base which is best illus- -trated in Figure 6 of the drawings. lhis phase is of anda similar pair of aligned apertures 52e);-
Ytend through these angles near the rear end thereof. The apertures 5I provide a meansV of connecting the base to a motor supporting frame indicated in general by the numeral 53.
The frame 53 includes a pair of oppositely dis-V frame 42 Vby means of ,bolts 5l Vor other 'suitable' pivots. The bolts 5l extend through the apertures 5I to pivotally connect the base 42 andY frame 53.
' An inverted U-shaped supporting frame 53Y forms a brace connecting the motor supporting; Y frame 53 with the base 52. The member includes a cross arm 55u/'nich extends pivotally through the angles 54 and 55 and is bent to pro vide generally parallel arms 5I and 52V which are provided with inturned opposite ends 53 and 54 respectively. Y
to the base. The arms 5I and 52 may be sprung apart sufficiently to disengage the ends 53 and 54 from the apertures 52 and to permit the foldv ing of the stand B.
The stand C illustrated in Figure is a simpli-V Y ed version of the stand B. The base t5 of this construction comprises a cross bar '5G having up'-V turned endaps V6'! and 53; A drip trough 'Ill is secured to the cross member 65 to extend rear-V wardly therefrom. The drip trough l5 is provided with a substantially flat bottom l! and spaced parallel side anges l2. l2 are provided with notches 73 near their rear end-.to accommodate the cross bar 'I4 of a supporting bracket l5. The bracket l5 includes the cross bar 'I4 and a pair of substantially parallel arms 'It and l'lprovided with opposed inturned ends "I3 Vand 80. The 'ends l5 and 30 extend through aligned apertures in parallel angle members 3l and 82 forming apart of the motor sup- Y porting frame 83. A connecting block 54h; connected to the angles 8! and'82,.the upper extremity thereof to provide a means or attach.Y Vment for the motorclamp's. Y
The base 55 is'connected tothe frame'V aligned pivot bolts 85 which extend through the flanges 'land 59 and the angle members tI and 82, Thus the base is foldably connected tothe anglermembers forming a'fpart of the frame 83" and the supporting brace may berfolded into substantially the plane of the remainder of theY frame.' Y Y In Figs; 8V and V9 of the drawings still another motor stand D is disclosed. Thewstand D isV eX- i `Vvtremely simple in formanol may bemade atilw These flanges cost of production. The frame D includes a motor supporting frame 86 which includes a pair of spaced substantially parallel arms 8T and 89 connected by a cross connecting member 90. These arms 81 and 89 extend into holes or sockets formed in the undersurface of a motor block 9i. The block 9| may if desired be reinforced by light reinforcing channels 92, at opposite ends thereof.
The stand D also includes a generally U-shaped brace portion 93 which includes a transversely extending cross member 94 connected at opposite ends to a pair of converging arms 95 and 96. The ends 97 and 99 of these arms 95 and 9S are turned inwardly into alignment and pivotally engage into the block 9|. A spring or chain |00 may be provided between the arms 81 and 99 to assist in supporting the motor.
A drip trough [0I forms the connection between the U-shaped frame 80 and the auxiliary frame 93. The drip trough 10| is provided with a substantially cylindrdical hollow bearing |02 at one end thereof to encircle the cross member 90 and pivotally connect these two elements. A hook shaped end |03 is designed to accommodate the cross member 94 and to hold the cross members 90 and 94 in properly spaced relation. The drip trough IGI is formed with a flat base and parallel side flanges as in the previously described construction.
It will be noted that all of the forms of construction of our stand are similar in the drip trough extending beneath the center of the stand and also in the fact that the bases and supporting brace portions fold flat relative to the motor supporting frame. Thus while four different forms of invention have been shown, all of these forms include similar features which give them considerably similarity.
In accordance with the patent statutes, the principles of construction and operation of the outboard motor stand have been described, and while it has been endeavored to set forth the best embodiments thereof, it is desired to have it understood that obvious changes may be made within the scope of the following claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
