- IMPROVEMENT IN TURPENTlNE-BOXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,313, dated May 30, 1871 To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM BARKERVILL HAMILTON, 0 NewOrleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented an Improved Portable Apron Turpentine-Box and I do declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referen ce being had to the accompanyin g drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making part of this specification, in which I ting a saw line therein and inserting the apron 'of the box, thusuot only dispensing with the cutting of a deep cavity or box in the tree, as was formerly the invariable practice, but also furnishing areceptaclefor collecting the crude turpentine, which is not only convenient, but which can beattached without the aid of a nail, hook, or any other like appliance. The nature of my invention consists in construct ing the box withits inner face, as attached to thetree, so elongated or projecting so far beyon d the upper face of its sides as to allow the for;
mation of a curved apron, said apron not only, serving as a means of securely attaching the 3 device tothe tree, but also as an overflow to convey the crude turpentine to the box. My
invention also consists in constructing the outer face of the box, as attached to the tree, in
like manner, sothatthe projecting portion of the face may be turned down, so as to furnish a bonnet or partial covering for the box;
I or this bonnet or partial covering may consist I of a hinged lid, as hereinafter described.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use myinvention, I will now proceed to describe its construction, mode of attachment, 'and operation.
Ai's the box, and may be made of wood, sheet metal, or of any other suitable material.
Practical experience has shown that the boxes I illustrated in the drawing, and which are constructed partially of sheet metal and wood,
are admirably adapted for the purposes designed. In Fig. 1 the box is formed of a con tinuous piece of sheet metal, B, and two rectangular pieces of wood, 0 G. The sheet metal B is of such dimensions as to allow of its encircling three sides of the wood pieces 0 G, and to which it is so tacked or otherwise connected as to form a joint sufficiently tight to prevent the oozing of the turpentine. The ends of the piece B are free and project some distance above the upper facesccof the blocks 0 (l, and are turned down, so as to form an apron,D, and a. bonnet or partial covering, D, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. Instead of thus forming the bonnet D it may be simply an independent lid-piece, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, in which the upper faces 0 c of the wooden sides are inclined. The bonnet is attached to these sides by staples d d, or equivalent device, in such manner as to furnish a hingejoint for the same, which enables it to be raised so as to allow of the emptying of the box of the crude turpentine, as occasion requires, and which is a little more convenient than the drawing back of the bonnet for this purpose, as you are required to do when the box is formed with a bonnet, as shown in Fig. 1; but, with either style of connection or arrangement, the bonnet is equally effective, accomplishing in each case the same result-that is, so closing the box as, to exclude almost entirely all rain, dirt, &c., and to prevent the admission of which is a great advantage. The apron D may be a smooth curved plate, or it may be of a scoop form, or so guttered as to form a better conduit or channel conductor for the The box thus constructed is attached to the I tree as follows: Immediately below the cuts or scratches, through which is discharged the crude turpentine, is a saw line or gash, E, cut across the tree, and in which is inserted the apron D. This cut or gash is usually about an inch deep. The box is then bent down so as to rest on the trunk of the tree, the space between the apron and' bonnet being only sufficient for the passage of the crude turpentine. The relative position of this box can be shifted on the tree at pleasure, and when one tree is exhausted it can be applied to another.
Having thus fully described my invention,
what I claim therein as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States, 1s-
1. The box A formed with an apron, D, ar-
e ranged as shown, in order that the apron shall serve as a conduit for the crude turpentine, and as the entire support of the box, substantially as described,
