Description

(NMeL) E. BATEMAN. MINNOW BUCKET.
N0.'359,311;. A Patented Man-15, 1887.
PATENT EEICE.
CHARLES E. BATEMAN, 0E CHICAGO, ILLINoIs.
MINNOW- BUCKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 359,311, dated March 15, 1887.
Application filed NovemberBO, 1885. Serial No. 184,231. (No model.)
its objects are to provide a iioating vessel into which the angler may put his minnows, and which will not sink when inthe Water, though nearly submerged; to provide a bucket with means whereby a constant supply of fresh Water is furnished, and which can be taken from the water and yet retain enough water to keep alive the minnows, and to provide a vessel which can be easily towed after the anglers boat. These objects I attain by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, Wherein- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bucket with open lid. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section.
Like parts are indicated by the same letters in all the iigures.
A A are the air-tight chambers, one at each end and one in the middle of each side. They increase in size toward the top, as shown.
A A are the walls of the chambers.
B B are water-holes in the sides of the boat or bucket at about the water-mark or below that line.
C is the hinged lid.
D D are the drag-eyes. is ballast in the bottom.
The bucket is boat-shaped, so as to be easily drawn through the water.
The use and operation of my device are as follows: The bucket, in the form of a boat, is secured to the rear of the anglers boat and filled with water and minnows. The holes keep up a constant supply of Water. The ballast keeps the boat upright. The airchalnbers buoy it up. When the bucket is taken from the water, it remains full of water, and thus the minnows are kept alive. The angler can take the minnows from the bucket when it is in or out of the Water by simply throwing up the lid and without otherwise disturbing the bucket.
I claim- Aboat-shaped niinnowbucket provided with suitable air-chambers therein, a supplemental ballast on or near the bottom thereof, and a series of apertures below the top of the carrying-chamber to permit the passage of water therethrough, so thaty the carrying-chamber will be full of Water when lioating, and when lifted from the Water will carry asufcient quantity of water to float the iish.
