INSECTICIDE BOMB HOLDER AND ACTUATOR Filed May 20, 1959 James A. Meuw/y 1N VENTOR.
9 BY WW zy amg k rates ate t 3,913,699 Patented Dec. 19, 1961 nice This invention relates to holders and more particularly to a holder to support a pressure container and to operate the container from a remote location.
An object of the invention is to provide a unique holder for a pressure container, the holder supporting the container in a position such that the combined valve' and nozzle thereof may be actuated from a remote location.
Briefly, the holder is made of a comparatively inexpensive bracket with means for supporting the pressure contaiuer in the bracket and further means by which to actuate the valve of the container from a remote location. The holder is adjustable by a very simple adjustment mechanism so that diiferent manufacturers makes and sizes of pressure containers may be supported with equal facility.
A further object of the invention is to provide a holder which is especially designed for a pressure container such as would contain insecticide or other substances, the holder consisting essentially of an L-sh'aped bracket with the lower shorter leg thereof constituting a base and the upstanding leg holding a ring which fits around a part of the container and retains the container firmly fastened in place on the bracket. The operating mechanism is very simple in construction, consisting essentially of a lever with a string attached to it. The spring action of the valve of the pressure container is relied on to hold the valve in the closed position and the lever with it. As soon as the lever is pulled the valve opens thereby discharging a quantity of substance from the container, but upon release of the lever, the valve spring returns the valve in the closed position and moves the lever to the inoperative position in preparedness for another cycle of operation.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a holder constructed in accordance with the invention.
FIGURE 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the holder showing it being used with a typical pressure container.
FIGURE 3 is a top view of the holder in FIGURE 1.
In the accompanying drawings there is a post which diagrammatically represents a suitable support. Holder 12 is constructed of a bracket 14 which is essentially L- shaped and which has a lower leg and an upstanding leg 18 joined at right angles to an edge thereof. Leg 16 constitutes a base for a conventional pressure container 20, and there is a short lip 21 at the free edge of leg 16 to form with the lower part of leg 18 a nest within which the lower part of container 29 seats (FIGURE 2).
Leg 18 has a slot 22 extending in a longitudinal direction and provided with a bolt 24 on which wing nut 26 is threaded. The bolt is welded or otherwise secured to a ring or open frame-like support member 28 that is superposed above base 16. The bolt is welded to the ring at an angle of approximately two degrees, and the ring functions as a collar fitting around the upper part of pressure container 29. It is evident that the ring may be vertically adjusted (FIGURE 2) and locked in place by adjusting the bolt 24 and ring 28 vertically in slot 22 and tightening the wing nut 26. Due to the angle between ring 28 and bolt 24, the ring will be drawn'sli'ghtly down when nut 26 is tightened thereby clamping onto container 20.
There'are means for actuating the combined nozzle and valve 31} of pressure container 20. These means consist of a lever 32 with an angulated inner end 34 equipped with an eye 36. .Pivot pin 38 extends through eye 36 and is disposed in alined apertures 40 that are formed in the parallel ears 42 and 44 at the extreme upper end of leg 18. Pressure pad 46 is secured to lever 32 intermediate the ends of the lever and has a normal position at rest on the upper end of the nozzle 39. I I
An eye 48 is at the outer extremity of lever 32 and has a rope or string 50 secured in it. The string isadapted to be pulled in order to pivotally actuate lever 32 and bring pressure pad as to bear forcibly on the nozzle and valve assembly of the pressure container 20 and thereby permitting a quantity of substance from the pressure container to be discharged.
Socket 52 is fixed, as by being welded, to the lower surface of base 16 and is fitted over the upper end of post it A screw 54 or a like fastener may be used for attaching the socket to the post 10 and thereby rigidly securing holder 12 in place. If the post 10 is made portable, which is the intended principal application of the invention, the entire holder may be elevated to any height within the limits of the length of the post 10, and the string 59 pulled from the lowered position by the same man elevating the post so that some of the substance from the pressure container 29 may be ejected without having to closely approach the area which is to be sprayed.
A prying tool, such as a short plate 56, is secured to ring 28 so that other operations may be performed, for
instance prying oh the protective cap which, in most pressurized containers, covers the valve parts. or for opening an electrical box, by using the tool. Hook 58 struck from a portion of leg 13 may be used for a number of purposes, one of which is to wind the string 50 therearound and another of which is to use it as a hanger. All uses with which the structure may be put are contemplated by the invention.
In packaging, the ring 28 may be turned approximately 90 from the position shown in FIGURE 1, and the lever 32 may be swung to a position generally parallel to leg 18. The string may be wrapped suitably around the holder thereby forming a small compact package for both storage and shipment.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the princ ples of the invention. Further, since numerous mod fications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construct on and operation sh wn and described. and accordingly all suita le mod fications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
1. A holder and actuator for supporting a pressure container and for actuating said container from a remote location, said holder and actuator including a generally L-shaped bracket including a horizontal leg terminating at one end portion in an upstanding leg, said bracket be ing adapted to support a container from its lowermost surfaces on sa d horizontal leg with one upstanding side surface of said container abutting the surface of said upstanding leg adjacent said horizontal leg, means connected with said bracket for attaching the latter to a support member, means including a lever connected with said bracket for actuating the valve of a pressure container supported by said bracket, an open frame-like support member adapted to receive and encircle the upper portion of a container supported on said horizontal leg, means pivotally and slidnbly mounting said support member on said upstanding leg for movement toward and away from said horizontal leg with said support member extending over said horizontal leg, said frame-like support member lying in a plane substantially at right angles to said upstanding leg.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said attaching means includes a downwardly opening and depending socket carried by said horizontal leg.
3. The combination of claim 2 wherein said socket is centrally disposed relative to said horizontal leg.
4. The holder of claim 1, wherein there is a pressure pad attached to said lever to contact the valve of the pressure container.
S. The holder of claim 1, wherein the support to which said bracket is secured is movable from one place to another.
'6. The holder of claim 1, wherein there is an additional tool attached to said holder to perform functions preparatory to spraying substance from the pressure container by actuation of said lever.
