Description

w T. D. CALLAHAN 3,
- BARREL PROTECTIVE SHEATH Filed June 15, 1962 L I I! IIII]lfilllllVIIIIIIHIIIIHIII ll United States Patent i 3,116,774 BARREL PROTECTIVE SHEATI-I Thomas D. Callalian, Box 595, Condon, Greg. Filed June 15, 1962, Ser. No. 202,773 1 Claim. (Cl. 150-52) The present invention relates to a protective sheath for the upper end of a barrel.
Presently in use are barrels or drums for containing various supplies used by contractors, masons, carpenters and the like.
Such commodities as lubricants, oils, detergents, and the like are normally stored in drums or barrels of such capacities as 55 gallons or the like. Due to the inconvenience of handling such drums or barrels, they are usually provided with a dispenser in the form of a pump and the dispenser or pump is inserted through an opening provided in the upper end of such drum or barrel.
It has been the experience with contractors and the like that the barrels when left exposed to the elements gathered dirt and dust, or water on their upper ends which when the barrel is opened or the pump is used enters the barrel and dilutes or contaminates the contents of the barrel.
An object of the present invention is to provide a protective sheath of flexible inexpensive material for protecting the upper end of an upright barrel against the elements.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a protective sheath for a barrel which may be employed when the barrel is in a horizontal position, the sheath having means for support on the barrel with a portion of the barrel head exposed, such sheath being economical to manufacture and assemble, and one which is highly effective in action.
A further object of the present invention is to provide, in a sheath for an upright barrel, means on the upper end of the sheath for adjustably securing the sheath about a dispensing device such as the neck of a pump.
With these objects in mind and with reference to the following description, the invention will be fully understood from the description when taken in consideration with the annexed drawing, in which:
FIGURE 1 is an elevational view of a barrel with a portion of the barrel broken away showing the sheath of the present invention installed thereon,
FIGURE 2 is a view on an enlarged scale and taken on the line 22 of FIGURE 1,
FIGURE 3 is a perspective View of the upper end of the sheath of the present invention, showing it in the open position,
FIGURE 4 is an elevational view of a portion of a barrel in horizontal position showing the sheath of the present invention installed thereon,
FIGURE 5 is a view on an enlarged scale, taken on the line 5-5 of FIGURE 4,
FIGURE 6 is a schematic view showing how the sheath of the present invention may be cut so that the upper end is olfset from the lower end, and
FIGURE 7 is a view similar to FIGURE 6 showing how the sheath of the present invention may be formed from a truly conical-shaped fabric portion.
With reference to the drawing in detail, the sheath of the present invention comprises a flexible conical-shaped ice sheet member or sheath having its smaller end uppermost and of a size to receive therethrough a dispensing device such as the pump 10 shown in FIGURE 1, the sheath being designated generally by the reference numeral 20.
A continuous elastic band 22 extends about the larger end 24 of the sheath 20.
An adjustable band 26 extends about the upper end 28 of the sheath 20 and is provided with cooperating snap fasteners 30, 31, 32, and 33, the latter three being selectively engageable with the fastener 30.
In a preferred form of the invention an auxiliary band 34 has its ends secured by rivets 36 (FIGURE 5) to opposed points on the band 22. This permits the sheath 20 to be employed as in FIGURE 4 with a dispensing device 38 in the end of the barrel and with the sheath 20 not extending over the dispensing device 38.
In FIGURE 6, it is shown that the sheath 20 may be fabricated so that the end 28 is olfset with respect to the end 24. In FIGURE 7, the end 28' of the sheath 20' is centrally of the larger lower end 24.
In use, the barrel 11 may be stood in the upright position of FIGURE 1 or in the horizontal positions of FIG- URES 4 and 5 and the sheath 20 of the present invention installed thereover so as to protect the upper end of the barrel 11 in either position and with either the dispensing device 10 extending through the neck of the upper end 28 or exposed as in FIGURE 4 at 38.
It will be seen therefore that the protective sheath of the present invention provides a means by which the contents of a barrel may be protected from the elements and from contamination by water, dirt and the like when the barrel is in use.
It is intended that the sheath of the present invention be constructed of inexpensive material such as polyethylene of light weight and in such sizes and weights as to be practical.
While only preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, other embodiments are contemplated and numerous changes and modifications may be made in the article of the present invention without departing from the spirit thereof as set forth in the appended claim.
What is claimed is:
For use with a barrel having a dispensing device inserted into one end, a protective sheath comprising a flexible conically shaped member having its smaller end of a size to receive therein said dispensing device, the larger end of said sheath being of a size to receive therein the upper end of said barrel, a continuous elastic band extending about the larger end, an adjustable band extending about the smaller end of said sheath, and an auxiliary band having its ends secured to opposed parts of said larger end band, the portion of said auxiliary band intermediate of said ends being free of said sheath.
