UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES M. LANCE, OF NEW JERUSALEM, OHIO.
SAP-BUCKET HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,662, dated December 4., 1883.
Application filed June 14, 1883. (No model.)
1'0 aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES M. LANCE, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of New Jerusalem, in the county of Logan and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Adjustable Sugar-Water or Sap Bucket Holders and Stools, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists in an improved mode of hanging buckets, crooks, &c., onto the maple-tree to catch the sugar-water, and in hanging a cover to keep rain-Water and dirt from falling into the bucket or crock.
Figure 1 isa view of my device for hanging the bucket; Fig. 2, a view of my crock support or stool; Fig. 3, a view of my cover; Fig. 4, a view of my invention applied to a tree.
A is a curved or bent wire; B, the backwardinturned sharpened ends to catch in the bark of the tree; 0, the loop or hook on which the bucket hangs; D, the stool or board on which the crock sits, made with the part next the tree rounded out the shape of the tree E, sharpened wire points to .engage in the bark of the tree and keep the board from tilting; F, staples fastening the wire A to the board; G, the cover, hung on wire A, and intended to protect the sap from the falling rain or the dirt that splashes from the tree.
My device for hanging the bucket consists, simply, of a curved bail-shaped wire having its ends turned inward and backward to engage the bark of the tree, and having a hook dangling from the center to sustain the bucket.
The tendency of the bail is to collapse or straighten out in the shape of two parallel arms whenpulled from the center. When the bucket is suspended from the hook in the center, the weight of the bucket pulls on the center and causes the two inclined ends to clinch the tree tightly, forming a perfect support.
In the stool or crock-support the tendency of the board is to tilt. This I overcome by placing the wire a little to one side of the center, and inserting sharp pins in the curved edge of the board next the tree, which are pressed into the bark and keep the board from turning. In setting the support I inclinethe board up a little from the tree outward,when the pressure of the crock, as it fills, presses the pins into the bark farther and tends to" bring the board down level. The bail-cover I attach the same as the wire that holds the bucket, letting the board slant to run off the rain.
What I claim as new is The combination, with the curved wire A, having the backward-inturned sharpened ends B, of the board D, provided with points E, as and for the purpose set forth.
JAMES M. LANCE.
