TILTABLE CONTAINER HOLDER AND STAND Filed Nov. 19, 1951 T\" John N. Pedersen mmvm.
United States Patent 2,708,558 TILTABLE CONTAINER HOLDER AND STAND John N. Pedersen, Reno, Nev. Application November 19, 1951, Serial No. 257,157 1 Claim. (Cl. 248-141) The present invention relates to a portable knockdown structural entity which has to do with ways and means for tiltably supporting comparatively heavy and unwieldy five-gallon liquidfilled cans and has more particular reference to a two-part assemblage characterized by a stand and a cradling rack tiltably mounted on said stand.
It is a matter of common knowledge that five-gallon cans constituting containers for lubricating oils and analogous liquid products are usually rectangular in shape with the pouring neck in the top and located at one corner of the can and suitable handle means is provided. For one to pick up a full can and pour some out into a smaller container such as a measuring cup means that unless the user is experienced, he is more likely than not to spill some of the liquid, not to speak of the time and effort involved in such an unhandy procedure. The invention herein disclosed seeks to solve the problem in that it holds completely drained.
Another object of the invention is to provide a firm and reliable self-supporting stand having a container holding and tilting rack cradled thereon, the rack being a well-balanced openwork cage which facilitates inserting and removing the container and which, est ease and dispatch,
until the discharge neck is directly above and therefore in alignment with a receiver such as a measuring cup or the like.
Then, too, novelty is cradling rack wherein all of the 1118.101 parts are simple angle irons most of which are joined with separable fasteners in order to render the over-all structure practical for handling in that it is capable of being knocked down.
Other objects, features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts through out the same:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a tiltable container holder and stand constructed in accordance with the invention showing the cradling rack in both full and phantom lines;
Figure 2 is a view at right angles to the presentation in Figure l observing the same in a direction from right to left;
Figure 3 is a top plan view with a portion broken away to bring out otherwise hidden detail;
Figure 4 is a perspective view with certain structural portions omitted;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of one corner portion of the can cradling rack; and,
Figure 6 is a fragmentary elevational view of one of the uprights in the stand construction.
It is believed that the construction of the stand, the
predicated upon a stand and with keeper notches 22 as shown best in Figure 1. The second unit is, obviously, the aforementioned cradling rack for the can 24 appearing in dotted lines in Figure 3. This is, as before stated, a rectangular oil marketing can having a corner screw-capped discharged neck generally denoted at 26. It follows that the stated unit is an open cage-type rack into which the can may be readily slipped tually the rack is characterized by a substantially rectangular bottom horizontal frame 28 on the one hand, and a rectangular top frame 30, on the other. The bottom frame 28 is made up of four suitably welded or tilting and righting the rack. The respec- 28 and 30 are connected together by corner corner connectors 40. This arrangement provides an ideal openwork rack which serves can and makes it possible to rockably mount or cradle the can between the uprights 16 and 18. Diametrically opposite corner connectors 40 are therefore provided intermediate their ends with lateral headed studs or the like The rack tilts cornerwise with the pouring neck of the can in the ing cup into which the liquid is to If desired, the base frame 8 may be of one-piece construction while the uprights and braces may be separacompact and convenient knockdown structure for easy handling, shipping and use. Then, too, a cross brace 52, as best shown in Figure 4, may be added if desired.
It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.
Minor changes in the shape, size, materials and arrangement of parts may be resorted to in actual practice without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as claimed.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A supporting and tilting stand for a rectangular type oil containing and pouring can comprising a stand having a base, said base being adapted to rest on a horizontal support surface and being approximately U- shaped in plan, opposed spaced parallel uprights attached to and rising vertically from the intermediate portions of the longitudinal side members of said U-shaped base, the upper ends of said uprights having keeper notches therein, an open-work cradling rack adapted to receive an insertable and removable rectangular commodity can of the type having a corner-located pouring spout, said rack being rectangular to conformably accommodate I said can and being provided at diametrically opposite corner portions with headed journals mounted for oscillation in said notches, said corner portions being in close spaced parallelism with the uprights, the remaining diametrically opposite corner portions of the rack being in a line which is midway between the side members. and
insuring that when the can is placed in the rack with the spout coinciding with the forward corner portion of the rack, the stream of liquid issuing from the spout will flow in a prescribed manner, whereby to permit the separate receiving container to be placed on the surface and to allow the fluid to be conveniently and reliably poured therein, said rack being made up of four vertical angle irons forming the vertical corner members, a rectangular bottom frame, and a rectangular top frame, the respective corners of the respective top and bottom frames being joined by said vertical corner members, the respective topand bottom frames being made up of interconnected angle irons, the horizontal flanges of the angle irons in the bottom frame being directed inwardly within the confines of the rack and the horizontal flanges of the angle irons of the top frame being directed outwardly and away from each other and beyond the corner members of the rack.
