JOHN HARTI-I, JR, OF AMBIA, INDIANA;
BUCKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 664,147, dated December 18, 1900.
Application filed 001201361 1,1900- Serial NO- 31,706. (N0 13101161.)
T0 ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN HARTH, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Ambia, in the county of Benton,State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buckets 5 and I 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.
This invention relates to buckets in general, and more particularly to collapsible buckets, one object of the invention being to provide a construction wherein a fabric, such as waterproof canvas, may be used for the body of the bucket and may be stretched and held securelyin operative position when ready for filling.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be evident from the following description.
In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like characters of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure l is a perspective view showing the complete bucket. Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the manner of setting up the bucket and of adjusting the frame to compensate for stretching. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view showing one of the braces which connect the hoops. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the bucket when in its closed position.
Referring now to the drawings, the present bucket consists of a down wardly-tapered body portion 5, which is made of any suitable waterproof fabric, such as waterproof canvas. At the bottom of the body of the bucket and exterior thereto there is riveted or otherwise secured a hoop 6, of metal or wood, and which preferably projects slightly below the bottom of the bucket to afford a bearing-surface, and thus prevent excessive wear upon the fabric bottom. A second hoop 7, of wood or metal, is similarly secured exterior to the body and adjacent to the upper edge thereof, and carried by this upper hoop are ears 8 and 9, disposed diametrically opposite to each other and with which are engaged the ends of the carrying-bail l0.
In order to hold the hoops separated to place the fabric of the bucket-body under proper tension, braces 11 are employed, and each of these braces consists of a bar or rod the upper end of which is screw-threaded and the lower end of which is forked.
Extending radially and outwardly from the lower hoop 6 are pins a, corresponding in number to the brace-rods and so positioned that when these rods are swung downwardly to lie against the outer surface of the bucket the forks at the lower ends thereof will engage over the pins and will hold the two hoops separated, thereby preventing collapse of the bucket.
When the fabric of the bucket stretches, as it will do after having been used for some time, the brace-rods may be rotated and fed outwardly from the tubular leaves of the hinges to increase their effective lengths, when by engaging their lower ends with the pins 0. the fabric of the bucket will be placed under greater tension.
When the bucket is to be collapsed, the brace-rods are swung outwardly to disengage their forked ends from the pins, and the bottom of the bucket may then be raised to lie within the inclosure of the top hoop, after which the brace-rods may be. folded to lie transversely thereof.
It will be understood that in practice any desired number of braces may be used and that any suitable materials and proportions may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is 1. A collapsible bucket comprising a fabric body portion, hoops secured to the fabric at the upper and lower edges of the body, hinges each having one leaf fixed to the upper ring and having the other leaf provided with a threaded recess,rods having threaded engagement with the recesses for adjustment therein and having their lower ends forked, and pins carried by the lower hoop for engagement by the forks of the rods.
2. A collapsible bucket comprising a fabric body portion, a hoop secured exterior to the body portion at the lower end thereof and projecting below the side of the body, a hoop secured exterior to the body portion at the upper edge thereof, a bail connected with the upper hoop, hinges each having one leaf secured to the upper hoop at the upper edge thereof the second leaf thereof being tubular and threaded, rods having threaded ends adj ustably engaged with the threads of the tubular leaves and having their lower ends 10 forked, and pins extending radially from the Witnesses:
lower hoop for engagement by the forked ends of the rods.
In testimonywhereof I hereunto sign my name, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 15th day of August, 1900.
JOHN HARTH, JR.
LOUIS HARTH, MARY HARTH.
