LAUCHIIIN D. BYRD, OF HILLSDALE, MISSISSIPPI.
TUPIPENTINE-FIECEFTACLE;l
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 786,950, dated Aprn 11, 1905.
Application filed November 1l, 1904. Serial No. 232.367.
l To @ZZ whom t may concern:
- citizen of the United States, residing at Hillsdale, in the county of Pearl River and State of Mississippi, have invented new and useful Improvements in Turpentine-Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention pertains to receptacles designed to be attached to pine-trees with a view of catching crude turpentine as the same exudes from the trees; and it has for its object to provide an inexpensive but very durable receptacle adapted` to be ,attached to a pine-tree in such manner that no cuttingof the tree is necessary except the ordinary wellknown chipping', this being advantageous, inasmuch as the chipping does not tend to deaden a tree or spoil the pores thereof, as does deep cutting of the tree.
With the foregoing in mind the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claims when taken .in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View illustrating the receptacle constituting the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in its proper operative position on a pine-tree.' Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the receptacle removed, and Fig. 3 is a vertical central section of the receptacle. v
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings. i
The receptacle illustrated in the drawings is formed of a single piece of sheet metal' and comprises a back wall A, a front wall B, formed by lapping the lower portions of the piece of sheet metal and connecting the same together, as indicated by C, and side walls D, which converge downwardly' to a point E. The back wall extends a considerable distance above the front and side walls and is provided in the vertical center of its upper portion with an aperture t and is also provided with Wings F. rEhese latter are formed by shaping the upper end of the back wall A so that the same describes an obtuse angle, the apex of which is disposed above and adjacent to the aperture c.
In the practical usevof my novel receptacle the same is applied after the manner shown adjusted under a peak-z'. e., a strip of bark at the lower end of a chipped face. After the receptacle is fastened in the position stated through the medium of a nail or the like driven through the aperture a chipping of the l tree is continued upward from the strip of 'bark in order to enable the turpentine to flow into the receptacle over the wings F. As will be readily o bserved by reference to Fig. 1, theinner edges of the wings F snugly receive the peak or strip of bark on a pine-tree, and hence the wings are enabled to assure' the turpentine passing into the receptacle and not back of the receptacle.
In virtue ofY the construction of my novel receptacle the lifetime ofi the tree upon which it is used is materially prolonged, inasmuch as lthe mere chipping of the face does not tend to kill a'tree or injure the. pores thereof or weaken the tree to such an 'extent as to render the same liable to fall. The receptacle is also advantageous, inasmuch as when it is movedn p each season-'t'. c., from a point below one chipped face to a point below a new chipped face to be provided above the firstmentioned chipped face-the turpentine which it Will catch will' be the better quality, known as virgin dip. y
Having describedv my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
A turpentinereceptacle converging to a point at its lower end, and formed of a single sheet of metal having one horizontal edge bent upward from its central point, the two portions being lapped and connected together, and having its remaining part terminatingin wings,
nesses. v l LAUCHLIN D. BYRD.
