' the following is a specification.

My object is,first, to provide a neat, strong,

durable, and convenient milk-pail holder and seat for a person when milkinga cow; sec: ond, to provide means'for adjusting the pailholder relative to the seat, the erson onthe seat, and the cow; third, to fol all the parts together compactly to facilitate carrying the device and storing; it. away advantageously when not in use.

My invention consists in the structure hereinafter set, forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is aside view, and Fig. 2 a top view, of the invention, and they show the forms and positions of the different parts relative to each other. folded together as required to facilitate carrying it about and storing it when not in use."

Fig. 4 is a side elevation, and Fig. 5 a top view, of a modified form of construction that allows the complete device ,to be made shorter and Fig. 6 shows the bucket-holder folded on top of the seat and not extended beyond the end of the'seat, as shown in Fig.3.

The numeral 10 designates a three-sided frame, and in the closed end thereof is fixed a seat 12. A second three-sided frame 13, provided with elbows 14, is pivotally connected with the closed end of the frame 10,

and seat 12 and its ends terminate in hooks 15, adaptedto enter slots 16 in the seat, as shown in Fig. 2. A third three-sided or V- shaped frame 17 is pivotally connected with the ends of the frame 10 and has elbowshaped extensions 18, that terminate in hooks A circular pail-holder 20 is pivotally con nected with the'ends of the frame 10 and the elbow-shaped extensions 18 of the frame 17,

as'shown, or inany suitable way as required to allow the frame 17 and the pail-holder to be adjusted relative to the frame 10 and seat 12..

The frame18 (shown in Fi s. 4, 5, and 6) is oblong in shape and made 0 a single bar of metal, and a Wooden seat 19 fitted and fixed therein by means of bolts 20 and cut away 7 Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed July-23,1905. Serial No. 272 12s.

from the seat toadmit legs. A three-sidedframe 21, elbow-shaped at its top ends,is pivoted to the inside faces of the parallel parts and rear portion of the frame 18 that serve as legs that can be extended, as shown in Fig. 6. A third frame 22 is pivoted to the front portion of theframe and seat to fold downward and'forward to support the seat and upward and rearward to lie fiat against the bot' tom of the seat.

A milk-pail-holder consisting ofa frame 23 i in theform of a fork having a slotted handle and a circular s ring-clasp 24, pivoted to the branches of the ork, is pivoted on the top and center of the front end of the seat 19 by a bolt 25, fixed in the seat and extended up through the slot in the handle of the frame of the fork in such a manner that a pail supported by-the clasp 24 can be moved outward' from the seat and toward and matrix cows udder and the complete pail-holder turned laterally and placed on top of the seat, as shown in Fig. 6. i

Dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 4 indicate how the pail-holder and pail suspended therein may be adjusted'relative to a person on the seat or a cow when in proper position at the side of a cow, as required to incline the pail toward the cow, or into an upright position when the ail is nearly full, as required to prevent spfiling milk from the pail.

Having thus set forth the purpose of my invention and the construction and manner of use, the practical operation and utility thereof will be readily understood by milkmaids, dairymen, and women and others familiar with the art to which the structure pertains.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
