Specification of Letters Patent. lt wttnntggdl dimly 2ft, lliq lltl.
Application filed. April 8, 1909. Serial No. ltltlfiltl.
To all whom it may concern:
lBe it known that I, ARTHUR JUDEVINE, a citizen. of the United States, and a resident of Bamboo, in the county of Saul: and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in 'lanks or Containers, of which the followii'ig is a lull, clear, and exact description. i
In the operation of an auto-vehicle it is very essential that an available quantity of fuel be always maintained in the tank or container, for the purpose of generating the necessary power to propel the vehicle, Allowing the container to exhaust itself and neglecting to make provision Wherebyythe container can be refilled, or providing in some other manner an additioi'ial supply of fuel, causes considerable inconvenience and trouble, particularly if such a condition should come about While the vehicle is traveling tl'irougha part of the country Where no immediate supply can be obtained, or where the nearest supply station is located several miles away.
Containers of ordinary construction are not provided with means whereby the quantity of available fuel in the container can be known, and in order to ascertain 'Wlltll] amount in. the container it is necessary to insert a stick of wood or other convenient article, into the container through the filling: opening, and observe the depth of the :tuel as indicated on the article used. There are however, some tanks provided with an indicating device applied to the filling opening, which Will indicate on the face of the dial of the indicator, the amount of fuel in the container. it it desired to ascertain what fuel is still available in the tank, while the vehicle is in motion, it is ordinarily required of the operator to bring the machine to a full stop and. to dismount. To bring the vehicle to a stop and for the operator to disn'unuit,
is attended with considerable trouble and the loss of time, and theretorc the exaiuiiue tion of the tank is often neglected and some times 't'crg in, with the result that the tank becomes exhausted of line] Without the operator being; warned.
My invention, While izag iable oft broader applicatioinyis intended more particularly for embodiment in the tanks of motor vehicles, in order to obviate the mentioned objections. In carrying out my invention l make provision forholding; thesupply de sired, and so arrange the means for containing the supply that when the major per-- tion oil the fuel exhausts itself and results, for instance, in the sudden stoppage of the motor, a reserve s u oply of predetermined amount Will be readily available after the Warning due to the stoppage ol the rector With Which to continue a journey or prope the vehicle to the nearest supply station. The invention. results in a saving of the time required, and the trouble necessitated in occasionally bringing the vehicle to a stop to ascertain the amountof fuel in the tank.
In the preferred form, the invention pro vides a container which Will be cheap and economical and will largely do away With the necessity of carrying emergency tanks on the vehicle.
lhe invention will be hereinactfter more particularly described in connection with its embodiment in the fuel reservoir of the motor vehicle, and the preferred. form as illui-strated, and will be particularly pointed out in the claims.
ltefe .nce is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and. in Wl'llCll- Figure .1 illustrates in side elevation a notor vehicle embodying my invention in fuel containers; 2 is a vertical sectional view oi the fuel container, the section being taken on the line 2-J of Fig. 3; Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional. view otthe container with parts broken away; and big. at is an enlarged detail sectional vievv of the bottom portion of the tank or container.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, 9 represents a motor vehicle with my improved tank 10 shown as located under a seat of the machine. ill. pipe 11 connects with the bottom oi. the tank 10 and leads in this instance, toa carburetor l2. lhe tank 10 may be oi: any suitable general contour, but preferably is rectangular, as illustrated in the drawings--this term being more convenient to locate under the seat -and comprises sides 15, 15,ends lit, 16, a top 1.7, and. a bottom 18. vl itliiin the tank 10 and located at a suitable distance from the bottom 18, are preferably provided and rigidly secured, tivo horizontal. splashing plates 19 and 20. 'lTh 5e plates will be fully described hereinattterf lilu'tiice it to say here, that the plates 19 and in the construe let for the fuel at 27.
tion shown, mark the line of division .between what is in effect a main container for the major portion of the fuel supply, and the auxiliary container or retaining means for t "'e auxiliary supply.
Riing from the bottom 18 to the height desir' d, ,according to the depth it may be .desiiedto give the auxiliary retainer, is a is provided in the lower part of the tank, to 3 contain the fuel to be used after the fuel in l the main portion of the tank 10 above the plates 19 and 20, is exhausted. Thus it will be seen from Fig. 2 that the fuel is divided into what are really two distinct bodies, one being a smaller body held by the bottom 18, the walls 15, up to the line of the plates 19 and 20, and the inner. wall or neck 25; while the second body or major portion of the fuel is contained within the neck 25 and between the portions of the walls 15 that areabove the line of the plates 19 and 20. The plates 19 and 20 are so arranged as to provide a slight space between them, and the upper plate 19 and the lower plate 20 have perforations 23 and 2t respectively, and arranged in staggered relation to one another, as clearly shown in liig. 2). By this construction, the auxiliary retainer can readily fill, but the arrangement of the perforations prevents the fuel from splashing out. The outlet from the container for holding the auxiliary supply may, with ad vantage, be arranged within thencck 25 as illustrated. In this form a cock 29 ot' ordinary construction, eontrols communication of the auxiliary retainer with the interior of the neck .25 and with the outlet to the delivery pipe 11, to permit the fuel to low from the auxiliary retainer 28 to the delivery pipe, whcn the cock is opened. To the valve stem of the cock 29 is attached one end of a lever 30, the opposite end having attached thereto an operating rod 31 adapted to open and close the cock. In connection with the operating rod 31 or any equivalent that may be employed in practice, I. provide any suitable means for preventing access to the filling opening. An etlicient means of controlling the opening in connection with the Said rod 31, is a suitable valve for closing said opening when the rod is in a raisedposition and when the cock 2!) controlling the outlet from the retainer for the auxiliary supply is open. Thus, as illustrated, the lower portion of the neck 32, forming the filling opening, is of conical shape to pro- 'portion of the tank.
vide a seat for a conical valve 33 attached to the rod 31. The purpose of this arrangement is to close the filling opening and to prevent entrance of a new supply of fuel until the valve is opened by pushing the operating rod 31, which will close the rock 29 controlling the outlet from the auxiliary reservoir 28. By thus requiring the operator toclose the cock 2!) controlling the reserve supply, said reserve supply cannot be used up without the cock 2!) being deliberately opened and the operator thus made ware of the limited amount of fuel remaining. The rod 3 in the form illustralicd, extends upwardly into the neck ol the filling opening and is provided with a ring or other device by which the rod 3] can be easily manipulated.
A vent pipe 35 attached to the lower plate 20 and ising to a point near the top of the tank. permits the escape of air from the auxiliary retainer provided by the described structure of the bottom portion of the tank 10. lt will be understood from the foregoing, that in filling the tank the parts are positioned as shown in Fig. 2. The cap 36 for the filling opening is removed and the fuel is then poured into the tank 10 and passes through the perforations '23 and 2"] in the plates 19 and 20. first filling the reservoir 28 and the neck 23, and then the main The cap is then screwed on and the tank is ready for use.
\Vhen the engine which the tank supplies is in operation, the fuel in the neck 23 and the main tank is first consumed, as is obvious, and should this main body of the fuel become exhausted, the vehicle will come to a stop, thus positively warning the opcratt'n' that only the fuel in the auxiliary retainer 28 is available. To continue the journey, all that is required is to unscrew the cap, and raise the rod 31, which opens the cock and allows the reserve fuel to flow into the neck 25 from which it passes to the delivery pipe 11.
I desire to explain here, that by extending the operating rod 31 to a point adjacent to the main inlet, said rod 31 has thertuncs tion of indicating to the operator the closed or open position of the cock 21) controlling the auxiliary supply, aside from the provision, such the valve for actually preventing access to the main inlet, and it also hicle to carry the necessary li uid fuel to generate the power for propel ing the veill-fl? It Wlll be understood that by the 'ternl fluid I do not confine myself to excontainer adjacent to the said outlet for retaining a portion of the material in reserve, the retaining means being provided with an outlet valve to permit the reserve material to flow into the outlet when the said valve is open, and means for controlling the valve, said controlling means including an operating rod which extends to a point Within the inlet of the container.
2. A container for holding a material, having an inlet and an outlet, means in the container adjacent to the said outlet for retaining a portion of the material in reserve, the retaining means being provided with an outlet valve to permit the reserve material to flow into the outlet when the said valve is open, and means for controlling the valve, said controlling means, including an operating rod which extends to a point within the inlet of the container, said rod being provided with a valve for closing the filllng opening of thecontainer.
3. A container having an inlet and outlet, comprising means for retaining a portion of its contents in reserve, plates arranged horizontally in the container on a line with the upper portion of the outlet means, said plates being provided with holes in staggered relatlon to prevent the splashing of the retained portion of the material while the latter is bein consumed, a'valve connected to the outlet, means to permit the retained material to flow therein, and means for controlling the valve.
4. A fluid container having an inlet and an outlet, a ca closing said inlet, a walled inclosure within the container leading to theoutlet, a valved outlet in the wall of said inclosure, and means for operating the valve, said means comprising a rod extending to the inlet of the container and provided with a valve for closing said inlet, said valve being additional to the mentioned cap.
