ALBERT S. WHITE AND GEORGE LOUIS GARDNER, OF NEW ORLEANS,
LOUISIANA. I
TURPENTINE-CUP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 2, 1906.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ALBERT S. WHITE and GEORGE LOUIS GARDNER, citizens of the United States, residing at New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Turpentine-Oups; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
Our invention relates to improvements in turpentine-cups intended to be detachably connected to a pine-tree beneath one or more gashes in the bark thereof; and the said invention consists in an improved form of cup struck or pressed out of a single blank of metal without any soldering or riveting of the parts and which is arranged so that the bowl of the cup is suspended from a flexible top plate, whereby the device is made sufficiently flexible to enable the same to be readily fitted to the contour of the tree.
Our invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same parts are indicated by the same letters throughout the several views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the trunk of a tree with the cup attached. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cup as seen from the side and front of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the cup. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of the cup. Fig. 5 shows a section along the line 5 5 of Fig. 4, and Fig. 6.is a plan view of the flat plate or blank which is bent up to form the cup.
A represents the trunk of the tree, which is gashed, as at a, preferably with an overhanging lip.
B represents the turpentine-cup, which has the bowl portion B and the flexible back B with the curved lip and the nail-holes b. This cup is made of a single blank B", (shown in Fig. 6,) which blank is first bent across along the broken line 1 1 1. It is then bent along the broken lines 2 2 and then along the broken lines 3 3". Finally, it is bent along the curved broken line 4 4, or this bend 4 4 may be made before one or more of the other bends, if desired. The curved lip 1) projects under the gash a and fits close against the tree and prevents the passage of any turpentine back of the same.
Owing to theconstruction of the cup the flexible back may be bent and adjusted to the contour of the tree, and owing to the shape of the bowl the turpentine may be readily removed from the same when desired. Moreover, the cup may be readily removed and applied to another gash in the same tree or to another tree, as may be desired.
It will be obvious that various modifications in the herein-described device might be made which could be used without departing from the spirit of our invention.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. A turpentine-cup constructed of a single blank of metal and comprising a forwardlyprojecting bowl, with rounded bottom and a curved flexible back adapted to beadjusted to the contour of the tree, the rounded bottom being connected to the flexible back by a series of folds of said back, saidfolds being in rear of the said back and separated thereby from the bowl, substantially as described.
2. A turpentine-cup constructed of a single blank of metal and comprising a forwardlyprojecting bowl, with rounded bottom and a curved flexible back adapted to be adjusted to the contour of the tree, the rounded bottom being connected to the flexible back by a series of folds of said blank, said folds being in rear of the said back and separated thereby from the bowl, with a curved flexible lip at the top of said back, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
ALBERT S. WHITE, GEORGE LOUIS GARDNER.
