Application September 27, 1950, Serial No. 187,039
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to a water bag carrier designed for attachment to a motor vehicle, preferably the bumper thereof, the primary object of the invention being to provide a carrier of this character which will support a water bag exteriorly of the car where it will be readily accessible and convenient for use.
Another object of the invention is to provide a carrier of this character constructed of yieldable metal strips which will support a Water bag in such a manner as to provide a yieldable support, to the end that movement of the water bag with respect to the support will be prevented, thereby reducing wear on the water bag to a minimum.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a carrier wherein the water bag held within the carrier will be held in an upright position at all times so that the contents of the water bag will be subjected to the cooling effect caused by evaporation of the water which may dampen the outer surface of the water bag.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the b vention, illustrating a water bag as mounted therein.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the carrier support.
Fig. 3 is an exploded view of a modified form of bumper attaching means, portions of the frame of the device being broken away.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the carrier comprises a frame embodying a wide metal bar 5 constructed preferably of spring steel with a portion thereof bent upon itself providing a main supporting section 6 and a front guard section 7, the guard section being spaced a substantial distance from the main supporting section 6 providing a curved bottom 8.
Secured to the upper end of the guard section 1 is the band 9 which is of oval construction, the band 9 comprising a length of spring steel metal bent to shape with its overlapped ends l0 secured to the section 1, by means of rivets ll.
As clearly shown by Fig. 2 of the drawing, the
2 main supporting section 6 is formed with a depression or offset portion I2 of a width to accommodate the band 9 to hold the band 9 against movement with respect to the main supporting section 6.
The upper end of the bar 5 curves laterally the extremity thereof being formed with the offset portion I 3 providing. a recess disposed in a direct vertical line with the longitudinal axis of the carrier.
This offset portion I3 is designed to accommodate the rope I4 which is secured to the handle it of the water bag It. Supported on the upper end of the metal bar 5, is the clamp I! which is formed with a shank I'B that moves through an opening formed in the upper end of the metal bar, there being provided a head H] on the free end of the shank, which supports the washer '26 against which the coiled spring 2| engages, the opposite end of the coiled spring bearing against the metal bar 5, normally holding the clamp in its active position.
As shown, the clamp is in the form of an elongated loop which when in its active or clamping position, rests in the notch 2| formed in the upturned end 22 of the metal bar 5. Thus it will be seen that due to this construction, when the bag I6 has been positioned within the carrier, the clamp may be operated to clamp the rope holding the water bag extended, or in a vertical position, so that the side walls of the bag will be subjected to the action of air when carried on a motor vehicle, which would tend to maintain the water in the container, cool.
Extending rearwardly from the main supporting section 6, are bolts 23, which bolts pass through the plate 24 which plate cooperates with the main supporting section in clamping the device on a bumper of a motor vehicle.
In the modified form of the invention, the reference character 26 indicates a section of the frame, corresponding to the supporting section 6 in Fig. 2 of the drawing, while the reference character 21 corresponds to the band 9 shown in Fig. 2.
The reference character 28 indicates bolts which are secured to the member 26, and over which the clips 29 are positioned, the clips being formed to grip the usual curved bumper to firmly secure the device in position. Nuts 30 are provided on the bolts 28 and engage the clips to secure the clips in position on the bumper.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, I have provided a carrier support for water bags which may be readily and easily secured to the bumper of a motor vehicle where it will be exposed to the air when the motor vehicle is in motion, the carrier support being such that the water bag held therein will be extended at all times presenting the wide surfaces of the bag to the air and wind.
It will also be noted that because of the clamp structure, the bag may be readily and easily removed when it is desired to transport the bag to a place for refilling, or to pour water therefrom.
It will also be seen that due to the construction of the carrier support, the possibilities of loss of the water bag are reduced to a minimum.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
A carrier for supporting a flexible desert water bag having a rigid handle and a supporting rope secured to said handle, comprising a frame embodying a wide yieldable bar formed into a main lower supporting section in which such bag is positioned, a band connected with said yieldable bar at a point intermediate its ends forming a part of the main supporting section, one end of said wide yieldable bar extending a substantial distance above the main supporting section and curved laterally overlying the main supporting section at a point in line with the vertical axis of the carrier, said upper end of the bar having a downwardly ofiset portion providing a recess in which the rope of said water bag is positioned, a yieldable clamp overlying said recess preventing displacement of the rope held in the recess, holding the flexible water bag extended within the frame, and a clamp for clamping the frame and bag supported therein, to a vehicle bumper.
