EDWI N BROWN, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
COLLAI5SIBLE BUCKET 0R PAll:.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 724,255, dated March 31, 1 903 Application filcl November 14 1902. Serial No. 131,395. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDWIN 0. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Collapsible Buckets or Pails, of which the followingis a specification.
This invention relates to collapsible buckets or pails, and the purpose of the same is to provide a simple and effective construction whereby a device of this class may be reduced to compact form for storage or other purposes, and having means cooperating with the parts thereof whereby the latter may be sustained in operative relation without liability of accidental displacement.
The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the several parts which Wlll be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bucket or pail embodying the features of the invention and shown arranged for use. tion of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the improved device shown collapsed.
Similar numerals of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in the several views. The numerals 1, 2, and 3 designate telescopic sections from which the pail is made up, each successivelyincreasingin diameter, and the lower section 1, having a base-flange 4 integral therewith or secured thereto and against which the sections2 and 3 are adapted to be telescoped, as clearly shown by Fig. 3. The bucket or pail embodying the features of theinven'tion simulates an ordinary telescopic or folding drinking-cup, and secured to the upper section is a bail 5, by which the entire pail may betransported from one point to another. WVhile it is possible to have the upper edge of one section andthe lower edge of the next section throughout the series of sections frictionally engage each other with such degree of tightness as to prevent the bucket or pail under ordinary circumstances from telescoping, it will be understood that it is far preferable to provide means whereby the pail structure may be rendered substantially rigid when the several sections are dis- -posed in operative position or arranged to Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical secform a practical bucket or pail. For this bers 7, 8, and 9, the member 7 being pivot ally attached at its lower end to an upstand ing ear or projection 10, rising from the periphery of the base-flange 4. The upper on of, the member 9 is pivotally attached to the rim of the section 3, and the opposite ends of the member 8 are pivotally connected, respectively, to the lower and upper ends of the members 9 and 7. On each stretcher flat sleeves 11 are slidably mounted to render the joints between the members 9 and 7 and the member 8 rigid toprevent each stretcher from moving when it is desired to maintain the sections of the bucket or pail in operative distended relation. The stretchers 6 are at diametrically opposite points in relation to the pail and when extended are in vertical lines, so as to clear the base-flange 4 for the reception of the sections 2 and 3 when the latter are pushed downwardly in telescoping the bucket or pail. When it is desired to telescope the bucket or pail, the sleeves 11 are pushed clear of the joints between the members 9 and .7 and the member 8, so as to permit said members to closely fold, as shown by Fig. 3. The sleeves 11 are contracted at one extremity, as at 12, (see Fig. 2,) to renderthem efiective in clamping the joints between the members of the stretchers.
The proportions of the pail and cooperating parts maybe varied at will, and it will be seen that a very convenient construction is provided without adding materially to the expense of manufacturing this class of devices. -It will be understood that the sections, as Well as the stretchers, will'be preferably formed of metal, though other materials may be used in certain grades of pails-such, f0 instance, as papier-mach-or from compositions or compounds.
Having thus fully described what is claimed as new is- A bucket or pail, comprising telescopic sections increasing in diameter toward the up per section, the bottom section having a surrounding base-flange having a diametrical extent approximately equal to the rim of the upper section, stretchers made up of movable members pivotally attached to each other and the invention,
