GEORG THOMA AND FRANK KIES, OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
MlNNOW-PAIL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 513,740, dated January 30, 1894.
Application filed April 17,1893. Serial No. 470,692. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, GEORG T HOMA and FRnNK KIEs, citizens of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the countv of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Minnow-Pails, of which the following is a specificatlon.
:Ihis invention relates to improvements in m nnow pails by which a minnow can be taken from the pail without wetting the handsand it is not necessary to handle more than one minnow at a time, which cannot be done by the old way of dipping the handinto the pail and grabbing ahandful of minnows, 111 the transaction of which, the minnows are usually handled and squeezed too often, and which causes them to die; and another important feature of our invention is that the top of the pail is so constructed that in excessively hot weather, it can be used for an Ice reservoir without interrupting the passage of the air below.
With the above objects in view, the invention consists of certain features of construc- .tion hereinafter specified and particularly pointed out in the claim.
Referring to the drawings,-Figure 1, is a perspective view of the paiL, Fig. 2, is a plan vlew. Fig. 3, shows detail of automatic holder.
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts ln all the figures of the drawings.
A, in'the drawings represents an ordinary pail, such as is nsuallyused in the construction of minnow pails.
B, is a movable tray which rests upon and pro ects into said pail, (see Fig. 2;) the horizontal or bottom portion a, thereof being perforated as well as the cover a which is hinged to the same.
a is the concave portion of tray which is connected with the horizontal or bottom por tion a, of tray, by the vertical part a the most essential feature of the tray being that the same can be used in extreme warm weather as an ice reservoir; the ice water being allowed to drop into the water below as the ice melts, by the perforation in the bottom of same, and which keeps the water at a cool temperature.
12, is a circular horizontal perforated plate, having a vertical pipe 1) extending upward from center of plate, and serves as a handle to raise and lower the plate I).
springs,
W, is aconical shaped opening at lower end of pipe.
0, c are two parallel vertical prongs or forks resting on a conical shaped base 0' and terminating at their upper free ends in concavoconvex shaped springs 0 the springs 0 are adapted to bear with sufficient force against the interior side of pipe 19', as to cause sufficient resistance, when the same is lowered from the position as shown in Fig. 2, that the springs project into the pipe, (as shown in Fig. 3,) so that the perforated plate b, by means of the handle b can be raised or lowered and held at any desired height within the pail.
Fig. 2, shows position of perforated plate 19, and springs 0 when the plate is raised to its full height in order to catch a minnow; the springs 0 expanding and forming a resting place for the same. b is a conical shaped opening at lower end of pipe b by the aid of which the springs are gradually and more easily forced into the pipe I) when the same is lowered.
From the description here given, persons skilled in the art will readily understand the construction and operation of our device.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The herein described minnow pail, consisting of the pail, a tray resting upon and partially projecting into the same, a circular horizontal perforated plate having a vertical pipe with a conical shaped opening, at lower end, extending upward from the center, parallel vertical prongs or forks resting on a conical shaped base, and terminating at their upper free ends in concavo-convex shaped said springs being adapted to bear against the interior surface of pipe, when lowered and said pipe with the circular horizontal perforated plate which is a part thereof, being adapted to rest upon said springs when sametis raised to its full height, substantially as, and for the purpose herein described.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signed our names in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORG THOMA. FRANK KIES.
