Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 26, 1906.
Application filed February 11, 1905. Serial No. 245,203.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, GEORGE W. HOPKINS and ALBERT B. CANEIELD, citizens of the United States, residing at Guthrie, in the county of Logan, Oklahoma Territory, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bins, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to improvements in portable bins, barrels, &c., for holding oranges, apples, potatoes, andother fruits and vegetables which will pass freely through a flexible discharge-spout secured to the bin or barrel.
Our object is to provide a bin for grocers and produce dealers wherein fruit and vege tables may be displayed and ventilated and which is closed at the top, so that the loss now incurred by dealers from customers sampling apples, oranges, 620., may be avoided.
A further object is to arrange the bin in such a manner that its contents may be transferred to a eck or bushel measure with less time and abor than when the ordinary method of performing this work by hand is employed.
The invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In order that the invention may be fully understood, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of our improved bin with the lid removed and the spout suspended in an inoperative position. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the bin, showing the lid in position thereon and the spout lowered in its operative position.
In carrying out the invention we employ a cylindrical bin 1, composed of woven wire of coarse mesh, a circular inclined bottom portion 2, to which. the lower end of the cylinder is secured, and metallic bands 3 and 4, embracing the upper and lower ends, respectively, of the wire and which present a smooth finish and reinforce the ends of the bin.
5 designates a plurality of equally-spaceding-plate secured to the lower portion of the bin midway between two of the supportinglegs and provided at its lower portion with an opening 7, registering with a discharge-opening 8 in the lower portion of the bin, the lower edges of said openings being flush with the upper surface of the bottom 2, so that the contents of the barrel may readily pass from said bottom portion through said openings. The edge of plate 6 is turned upwardly around opening 7, as indicated at 9, to form a groove for the reception of a portion of the upper end of a discharge-spout 10. The other portion of said upper end of the spout is secured between band 4 and the adjacent side of bottom portion 2, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. That portion of the spout located in the groove of plate 6 is securely fastened therein by pressing the upturned portion 9 tightly into contact therewith. Spout 10 is composed of canvas or other flexible material, so that its free end 11 may be raised and secured in an upturned hook 12, secured to the upper end of plate 6. Hook 12 is composed of spring metal, so that it will firmly grasp the end of the spout until the latter is released therefrom.
The upper end of the bin is closed by a wire lid 13. This lid may be secured to the bin by means of a look, as it is intended to be rep oved only when it is necessary to refill said In practice the free end of spout 11 is held in an elevated position by means of book 12. The bin is then filled, and lid 13 is placed in position thereon. When it is desired to fill a peck-measure, the same is placed upon the floor and the free end of spout 10 lowered therein. The inclination and elevation of bottom portion 2 will .cause the contents of ing through which the contents of the bin are laterally discharged in its lower portion, metallic reinforcing-bands embracing the upper and lower ends of said body portion, legs se cured to the bands which reinforce and extend below the body portion, a bottom portion closing the lower end of the body portion and sloping toward the discharge-opening in the latter, a flexible spout communicating with said discharge-opening, and means for securing the discharge end of said spout above the discharge-openmg, substantially as described.
2. A bin open at its upper end and provided with a lateral discharge opening at its lower end, a spout flexible throughout its entire length secured to the bin and communieating with the opening therein, an inclined bottom portion closing the lower end of the bin and having its depressed portion flush with the bottom of the discharge-opening, and a spring-hook for holding the free end of the spout above the discharge-opening.
3. A bin open at its upper end and provided with a lateral dischargeopening at its lower end, a flexible spout secured to the bin and communicating with the opening there in, an inclined bottom portion closing the lower end of the bin and having its depressed portion flush with the bottom of the dis charge-opening, a reinforcing-plate secured to the bin, and a spring-hook secured to said plate for holding the free end of the spout above the discharge-opening.
4. A portable bin consisting of a cylindrical ortion composed of woven wire having a ateral discharge-opening at its lower end, metallic bands encircling the ends of said bin, an inclined bottom portion closing the lower end of the bin, supporting-legs secured to said bin and extending a suitable distance below its inclined bottom portion, a reinforcing-plate secured to the lower portion of the bin and provided with an opening registering with the discharge-opening, a flexible spout communicating with the opening and the plate, and a hook secured to the upper portion of the plate for holding the free end of spout above the discharge-opening.
In testimony whereof we a'l'lix our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
