Patented' Apr. 4, 1922.

Application filed August 23, 1921. Serial No. 494,573.

- the following is a specification.

This invention relates'to improvements in dispensing receptacles and is particularly designed for use in connection with automobiles to supply water to the radiator although it may be used for other purposes where a fluid is to be supplied to a tank or receptacle through a filling nozzle.

In carrying out my invention I provide a construction of receptacle that may readily be hung from and supported by the radiator nozzle so that the operator will be relieved of the strain of holdingthe receptacle in an awkward position during the filling operation. 7

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein,

Fig. 1. shows the improved device in side elevation and attachedto-the filling nozzle of an automobile radiator. i Fig. 2. illustrates the same in top or plan view. V p

. Fig. 3. shows the detached nozzle-engaging bracket in. perspective.

Fig. illustrates a sectional detail through the bracket,the section being taken on the line 4-i of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5. shows another sectional detail through the bracket,-this section being taken onthe line 5-5 of'Fig. 8.

Fig. 6. illustrates the device in vertical sectional elevation and attached to the nozzle of a radiator,the latter being viewed in front elevation.

Fig. 7. shows an inverted or bottom view of the detached receptacle as the same would appear if viewed on the line 77 of Fig. 6.

Fig. 8. shows an enlarged detail of one of the feet as the same would appear if viewed on the line 88 of Fig. 6, and

Fig. 9. illustrates a sectional through the valved discharge nozzle.

Referring to the drawing by reference characters the numeral 10 designates the receptacle proper which may have any desired outline shape, but which in this instance is rectangular in shape.

This receptacle by preference has its bottom 11, slightly elevated with respect to the lower edges of the vertical walls whereby detail to form a bottom recess12, for a purpose that will presently be explained, and as best seen in Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawings.

In'order to distinguish one vertical wall of the receptacle from another the front wall is designated 13; the rear wall 1 1 and the two sidewalls 15 respectively.

A cover 16 is'preferably provided for the receptacle and may have a perforation 17 herein with a pivoted plate 18, adjacent thereto whereby said perforation may be covered, as shown in Figs. 2 and 6.

A bail or handle 19 is provided for the receptacle for convenience in lifting and carrying the same, and a ring or eye 20 is provided at one side and at the baseof the handle whereby the'receptacle may be hung which are formed into a coil as shown in Fig. 8, and these coils are then covered with a rubber or other material 22, to prevent scratching the radiator when contacting therewith.

A bracket23, is also secured to the bot tom 11, of the receptacle and also in said recess 12, and this bracket extends for wardly from the front side or wall 13', and is slightly inclined at its forward end whereby it may embrace the nozzle 24, of a radiator 25, with as little contact as possible on the top face of the radiator itself. This embracing portion of the bracket is also covered with rubber or other material 26 to prevent scarring the enamel or pain.

Near the bottom 11, I provide an outlet opening 27 in the front wall 1 1 of the receptacle, and 1 preferably place a strainer 28 over said opening to prevent any foreign particles passing from the receptacle, if such should find their way therein.

A flexible hose 29, has one end attached at the outer side of the front wall over said discharge opening and the free end of this hose has a discharge nozzle 30 which may be inserted in the radiator nozzle 24 during the filling operation.

I also prefer to provide a Valve 31 in the hose-nozzle 30 whereby the flow of water or other fluid from the receptacle may be cut off at will, by operating a valve stem 32 that is attached to the valve and which extends through the hose nozzle.

To care for the hose when the device is not in use, I provide a clip 33, on the front wall 13, of the receptacle whereby the free end of the hose may be held in an elevated position against the front wallas indicated by broken lines in Fig. 1 of the drawing.

It is believed to be obvious that the receptacle may be hung by the bracket 26 engaging the nozzle 24 of the radiator while the covered end of the feet 21, beneath the rear wall 14:, will contact with the front wall of the radiator and thus hold the receptacle in place. The nozzle 30 will then bev inserted in the nozzle 24 of theradiator and the valve 31 when opened, will permit the water or other fluid to flow from the receptacle.

The feet serve as bracing means to rest against the vertical front of the radiator and prevent the receptacle from swaying or lateral movement.

,Having described my invention, I claim,-

1. A dispensing receptaclefor attachment to automobiles the combination with a receptacle having a discharge outlet and means extending from the receptacle to engage a filling nozzle on the automobile to sustain the receptacle in the dispensing position.

2. A dispensing receptacle for attachment to automobiles the combination with a receptacle having valved discharge means and means projecting from the receptacle to engagethe automobile and sustain the receptacle in the dispensing position.

3. A dispensing receptacle for attachment to automobiles the combination with a receptacle having a discharge outlet, a movable tube extending from the outlet and means carried'by and projecting from the receptacle to engage the automobile and sustain the receptacle in dispensing position.

4:. A dispensing receptacle for attachment to automobiles the combination with a receptacle having valved discharge means, means projecting from the receptacle to engage a filling nozzle on the automobile and means also projecting from the receptacle for bracing the latter while it is held in.

dispensing position.

5. A dispensing receptacle for attachment to automobiles the combination with a receptacle having a. discharge outlet, a flexible tube extending from said outlet, a bracket projecting from the receptacle to engagethe filling nozzle of an automobile and means also projecting from the receptacle to brace the latter and hold it against lateral movement while it is held in the dispensing position. 1

6, A dispensing receptacle for attachment to automobiles the combination with a receptacle having a discharge outlet, a flexible tube extending from said outlet, a bracket projecting from the receptacle near the bottom of the latter and feet depending from the receptacle and extending below the bracket.

7. The combination with a receptacle having a fiat side and provided with an outlet near its bottom of a flexible tube leading from said outlet, a valve device in said tube, means for holding the free end of the tube when the same is not in use and means projecting from the receptacle to engage an automobile part and sustain the receptacle in dispensing position.

In testimony whereof I aflix my si nature.

RANDOLPH sifrrH.
