"JURGEN I-I. LINS, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

OIL-CAN CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 527,339, dated October 9, 1894.

Application filed July 11, 1894.

T0 at whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JURGEN H. LINS, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented anew and Improved Oil-Gan Carrier, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a' comparatively simple and durable in construction, and more especially designed for use on grocers wagons and other vehicles, for conveniently supporting and carrying oil cans to bedelivered to customers, and without danger of spilling the oil over groceries or other goods contained in the wagon.

The invention consists of a box, adapted to be secured to the under side of the wagon bottom, and provided with compartments, each adapted to receive and hold an oil can.

The invention also consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out inthe claims;

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is an end view of the improvement as applied. Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the improvement. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of part of the improvement showing the means for fastening the box to the vehicle; and Fig. at is a transverse section of the improvement.

The improved oil can carrier is provided with a box A, on top of which is secured a strap B made of metal, and adapted to be fastened by bolts C, to the under side of the bottom D of the vehicle D, as is plainly shown in Figs. 1 and 3. 4

The strap B is preferably projected beyond the sides of the box A, so as to conveniently insert the bolts 0, see Figs. 2 and 3, and the strap is also preferably passed around the ends and bottom of the box, for securely binding the several parts of the box in place, thereby rendering the box very strong and durable. The box is provided with a door E, connected attached to the bottom of the box and extending from one end to the other end thereof.

This strip F, forms with a series of transverse Serial No. 617,194. (No model.)

of metal, and provided with forwardly projecting guide arms H, arranged in alignment with the partitions G, and adapted to engage the sides of the cans, about midway of their height, so as to securely hold the cans in place.

' On the free end of the door E is arranged a suitable latch or look J, for holding the door in a locked position, as is plainly shown in Fig. 4:- It will be seen that when the doorB is closed, it forms with the strip F the front side of the box, which is preferably attached to the rear end of the vehicle at the under side of the bottom, as previously described, so that the user of the oil can, can conveniently insert the oil cans in the box at the time the door E is open or swung downward, as shown in Fig. 2, and can conveniently remove the individual cans from the box, to carry the same to the customers houses whenever required.

' It is understood, that by the arrangement described, a large number of oil cans can be carried in the grocers wagon, without danger of spilling any of the oil over groceries or other merchandise placed in the wagon proper. n

In the bottom of the box A, in each compartment, is arranged a drip aperture I, so that any oil that may leak out of the can, can pass through the said aperture to the ground.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. An oil can carrier comprising a box adapted to be fastened to the under side of a wagon body, a door hung on the said box and adapted to be swung downwardly to open the said box, compartments formed in the bottom of the said box and guide arms open at the front and arranged over the said compartments, the guide arms being attached to the back of the box with their open ends stand- 10o ing toward the door substantially as shown and described.

2. An oil can carrier, comprising a box, a Strap for permanently fastening the said box to the under side-of the vehicle bottom, a door hung on the said box. and adapted to swing downwardly to open the box, a longitudinal strip forming part of the side of the box at the bottom, and on which the said door is hinged, and transverse partitions arranged in the bottom of the box and forming, with the said strip, compartments for the reception of the oil cans, substantially as shown and described.

3. An oil can carrier, comprising a box, a strap for permanently fastening the said box to the under side of the vehicle bottom, a door hung on the said box and adapted to swing downwardly to open the box, a longitudinal strip forming part of the side of the box at the bottom, and on which the said door is hinged, transverse partitions arranged in the bottom of the box and forming with the said strip compartments for the reception of the oil cans, and a band secured to the back of the box at the inside thereof, and provided with l forwardly projectingrarms inalignrnentwith the said, partitions, substantially as shown and described.

4. An oil can carrier, comprising a box formed in its bottom with drip openings, a longitudinal strip forming part of the front side of the box at the bottom thereof, a door hinged on the said strip and adapted to close the front of the said box, transverse partitions arranged in the bottom of the box, and forming, in conjunction with the said strip, a series of compartments for the reception of the oil cans, and aband secured to the back of the box at the inside thereof, and having upwardly projecting arms in alignment with the said partitions to engage the sides of the cans, substantially as shown and described.
