REUBEN C. PATTESON,
FFICET PATENT OF SUMMIT, GEORGIA.
LUNCH-BUCKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 635,803, dated Oc o r 9 Application filed July 22, 1899.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, REUBEN O. PATTESON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Su mmit, in the county of Emanuel and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Lunch-Bucket, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in lunch-buckets and its object is to provide an article of this class wherein the different ar ticles of food are kept in separate compartments and so arranged that any portion of the contents may be taken out without the necessity of removing any of the other articles.
A further object is to provide means for thoroughly ventilating the bucket and contents and at the same time prevent the ingress of dust or insects.
The invention further consists in the ,construction and arrangement of the several parts, as will be more fully described in the following specification and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings which form a part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective view of a dinner-bucket constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on the line w 00 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the ventilator with the cap removed. Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view of the same on the line y yof Fig. 3.
Similar reference-numerals refer to similar parts throughout the dilferent figures of the drawings.
1 designates the body of the lunch-bucket, which is preferably rectangular in form and has a curved bottom 2. This curved bottom is provided at each end with suitable feet 3 to form a steady support for the bucket when set down and also to prevent the wear on the bottom. The interior of the body is divided into separate compartments 4 by the vertical partitions 5. These partitions at their lower ends conform to the shape of the bottom and fit closely thereto. The upper ends, however, do not extend to the upper edge of the bucket, but stop short, leaving an open space, which is adapted for knives, forks, and spoons, that rest upon the upper edges of the partitions. Furthermore, this open space allows the odors and fumes from the several compartments to Serial No. 724,847. (No model.)
escape through the ventilator and also permits the free circulation of air throughout the bucket.
The cover, which is designated by 6, fits down snugly on the upper edges of the sides 7 of the bucket and has depending flanges 8,- adapted to fit on the inside of the upper edges of the sides 7 and rest upon the upper ends of the partitions 5. Through the center of the cover is a circular opening 9, over which is fastened the cylindrical ventilator 10.
The ventilator 10 comprises an inner hollow cylinder 11 open at both ends, the opening in the lower end registering with the opening 9 through the cover. Through the sides of the cylinder 11 are the oppositely-disposed sub stantially rectangular openings 12. Vertical grooves 13 are arranged on the outside of the cylinder around the openings 12, and these grooves are adapted to receive a strip of foraminous cloth or screen of suitable material 14, which passes over the top of the cylinder and which allows free circulation of air, but prevents the ingress of dust or insects. Over this cylinder is fitted the cap 15, which has a top that closes the open top of the cylinder and whose sides bind the foraminous material 14 tightly in place. The cap 15 is provided with openings 16, similar to the openings 12 in the cylinder, with which they aline.
For carrying the bucket I provide the two bails 17, which are pivoted to the sides of the body by suitable cars 18. By using two bails the bucket can be carried level without any danger of tipping and spilling or intermingling the contents.
In using myim proved lunch-bucket the different articles of food are placed in the different compartments, and the knives, forks, and spoons are laid on the top of the partitions.
It will thus be seen that I have produced a convenient, durable, and comparatively inexpensive article that will keep the difierent articles of food separated,and yet so arranged that any article may be easily taken out without removing the others. The rounded bottom makes it easier to remove the food, and the ventilator allowing free circulation of air keeps the food in a more wholesome state than if it was tightly inclosed.
I do not desire to be limited to any number of partitions, and other changes in the form, proportion, size, and the minor details of constrnction within the scope of the appended claims may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. -A lunch-bucket comprising transverse partitions extending from the bottom upward and terminating short of the top to leave a ventilating-space extending over the top of the several compartments and also to form edged rests for knives, forks, spoons, 850. and aventilator on the bucket-top communicating with said space, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a lunch-bucket, and a cover therefor, of a ventilator on the cover comprising an inner hollow cylinder having side openings, an outer cap fitting over the cylinder and having openings registering with those of the inner cylinder, and a detachable screen arranged between the cylinder and cap and covering the openings of the inner cylinder and fastened in place by the outer cap, substantially as described.
3. The combination with a lunch-bucket and a cover therefor having an opening, of a ventilator comprising an inner hollow cylinder surrounding the opening in the cover, and provided with side grooves and also having openings in the bases of the grooves, a cap fitting over the cylinder and having openings which register with those of the cylinder, and a separable screen fitting in the grooves covering the openings of the cylinder, and confined between the cylinder and cap, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
REUBEN O. PATTESON.
