In many instancesfire engines are q :provided with water tanks infllieu oichemical ,fireextinguishersL, In such equipment, the vehicle frequently is positioned on uneven surfaces, I
l orin going up or down hills or in similar situa tions, there is a tendencytor the water toQrun':

To prevent 'this,1the fillingmeans is Irequently in the form top of the tank and this adds to thelabor and "1 J, in American -Malfshlmn Applieaflondanuary1 0, 1942,8eriai N6. 42am 1? to .improvementfs' i-id tanks for vehicles. I 1 I v Itisnow quite general practice infire engines ,andthe like, even those used in cities, to provide a tank for carrying a substantial volume of water, and in, fire engines for rural -use or bei eonnectionwith the tank fillinfg chamber 4;
The inner wall "5 -of chamber -is set into the I I tank; the mosewemhia-bemguto ext'end rearlend oi the tank asfar as possible andstill leave suitable foot room on the platform 6; I The outer portion 1 of, the filling chamber projects I from the tank above the platform. The filling v n I ota riser, rising a substantial distance abovethe w chambenis connected with a tank through the :;valve casing 8 which is in the former aT-fitting, I one arm of the valve casing being secured to the inner wall 5 otthe filling chamber so that the valve 'casing is, positioned within the filling chamber; a I ,7 I
An upwardly closing flap valve 9 permits the water to fiowfrom the filling chamber into the v 1 tank but prevents its return, Theplug l0 may be removed to providefafillingopening in the valve casing in which the end oia hose may be '1 of the fire where water mainsare notavailable jf the tanks are kept filled withbucket brigades is an important i First, to provide anlimprove'd vehicle tank oi g the character described which may be'filled with I a hose where considerable supplies of, water,
are available, orby means 011 buckets. Second, to provide atank'oi theclass described I i brigadc is formed to supply water tdthetank,
Theybuckets orpails may jbe poured into the w filling chamber'which is provided 'witli a cover 7 under pressure bucket and-without details and economiesot construction and operation will appear from the description to follow.

A preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated 1 v V inserted. provides a rapid and easy way of filling the. tank atlthe station or headquarters; and also the tankmay be kept filled by this g means inthe event a supply of water under pressure 1 is available;
It frequently happens that there are locations provided withwater systems which do not haveu fire hydrants. The fire enginedraws its water i from the tank. The fire enginesare sometimes I designed to serve'as boosters onwatersystems, ,l In many instances water vunder pressure'is not, I
available and in such-cases a so-called bucket pending from the cover adjacentiitshinge and],
the link II which ispivoted at l5 to the arm and;
slidably and rockably supported by the bracket,
It, the link being arranged through hole I] the bracket. The spring, 18, is supportedat one I 7 end by the bracket, and engages the thrust-pin I 1 19 on the link; 7
It will be noted that as tlie cover is openedand closed the pivot 15, swings past the plane" through thepivot of the cover and the point'of providing a snap action forthetoggle;
With this simple arrangement of parts; I provide a filling means which greatly' ai'ds mine I rapidfillingor supplyingwater thetankbyjfi engagement of the linkwith'thebracket, thus 1 l the bucket brigade method and also a means which prevents loss of water as a result of the tank being in inclined position or through splashing; V
I have not illustrated or described certain improvements or adaptations which I contemplate,
as it is believed that this disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt my improvements: asi rnay be 'desired;
Having thus" described my invention, what I for'said filling chamber adapted when open to claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a structure of the class described; the combination with a tank of a filling chamber at one end of said tank, certain walls of said filling chamber being partly within the tank, a
T -shaped valve casing mounted on the inner wall 1 of said filling chamber to deliver to said tank 1 provide a splash Wall, and a toggle device for holding said cover in open or closed position comprising an arm on said cover, a link pivotally connected to said arm and slidably engaged with a bracket within said filling chamber, and a spring arranged on said link under compression and acting to hold the cover, ineither its open or closed position. 1
2; In astru'cture of the class described, the
combination with a tank, of a filling chamber a at one end of said tank, certainwalls of said 'filling chamber being partly within the tank, a
T-shaped valve casing mounted on the inner ,wall offsaid filling chamber to deliver to said '"tank and provided with an outwardly closing a check valve and" having a filling opening at the rearvof;.the;check; valve whereby the tank may be filled through the said filling chamber, and a pivoted'cover for said fillinglchamber adapted when; open to provide a splash wall, r 1
