DEPOSIT AND COLLECTION RECEPTACLE.
APPLICATION FILED JULY 9, I921- Patgnted May30, 1922.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFER.
FREDERICK W. SCI-IULZE. OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
DEPOSIT AND CGLLEC'IION RECEPTACLE.
Application filed July 9, 1921. Serial No. 483,550.
T 0 all to lwm it may con c-cm Be it known that l, Fnnnnnrcn lV. Solionzn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have. invented certain new and useful Improvements in Deposit and Collection Receptacles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to certain improvements in deposit and collection receptacles and has relation more particularly to a device of this general character especially designed and adapted for use in connection with the delivery of milk, and it is an object of the invention to provide a device of this general character having novel and improved means whereby a bottle of milk or the like may be readily deposited within the receptacle and locked therein against removal by an unauthorized person.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved device of this general character which is particularly adapted for use in connection with a door j amb and wherein the door, when in closed position, operates to hold the receptacle against removal.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved receptacle of this general character provided with an entrance opening with which is associated a closure means and wherein such closure means are held against movement in open position under the influence of the weight of the article deposited in the receptacle.
The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved depositand collection receptacle whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
The novel features of my invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.
In order-that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: l
Figure 1 is a view in perspective illustrating a receptacle constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention and in applied position;
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view taken through the device as illustrated in F igure 1; I
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 33 of Figure 2;
Figure i is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating the coacting means for connecting the receptacle with a door jamb or the like;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating in detail the means for maintaining the locking means for the closure means inoperative l Figure 6 is an elevational view of one of the members for securing the receptacle to a door j amb or the like; and
Figure 7 is an elevational view of the member coacting with the member illustrated in Figure 6.
As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, A denotes the jamb of a doorway and with which coacts in a conventional manner the door D. Secured to the jamb A at a desired point above its lower end is a plate 1 provided with an outstanding lug 2 terminating in a head 3. The head 3 is adapted to enter within an enlarged portion l of a groove provided in a second plate 5 and said lug is also adapted to engage within the restricted portion 6 of the groove of the plate 5 whereby the plates 1 and 5 are etl'ectively maintained in connected relation.
The plate 5 is secured to a side wallof the receptacle h. and when the lug 2 of the plate 1 is engaged within the restricted portion 6 of the groove within the plate 5, the door D, when closed, contacts with the rear portion of the receptacle R whereby said receptacle is held against removal or displacement until after the door D has been-moved into open position. 1
The rear portion of the receptacle R is open but closed when in applied position and the door D in closed position. By this means, when the door D is in open position an article, such as anempty bottle, may be readily inserted within the receptacle R or a bottle of milk or the like which has been deposited in the receptacle may be readily removed.
The front face of the receptacle R is open but adapted to be normally closed by the swinging doors 7. Each of the doors 7 is hingedly engaged, as at S, with an outer vertical marginal portion of the receptacle R.
Themeeting edge of one of the doors 7 is provided with a lip or flange 9 adapted to overlie the adjacent; marginal portion of the second door 7 so that when the doors 7 are in closed position and locked therein, the possibility of inserting a tool or other implement between said doors to open the.
ported as desired.
14 denotes a supplemental floor arranged within the bottomportion of the receptacle Rand has its forward portion 1 1' weighted so that normally the forward portion of the floor 1 1 swings downwardly upon its pivots or trunnions 15 so that the doors, 7 are free to move inwardly. The pivots or trunnions 15 extend laterally from the floor 14 adjacent the rear portion of the weighted forward part 14:, as is believed to be clearly illustrated in Figures 2 and 5 of the accompanying drawings.
The floor 1 1 in advance of the trunnions 15 and at its central portion is provided with a recess or cut-out portion 16 and positioned within said recess or cut-out portion 16 and supported by the side walls thereof for vertical swinging movement is a latch 17. The pivotal mounting 18 for the latch 1.7 is in advance of its longitudinal center so that normally the forward end portion of the latch 18 extends or projects above the floor 14:.
Upon a bottle C or other container being positioned upon the rear. portionof the floor 1 1, the resultant weight will cause the forwardportion of the floor 1st to raise or elevate and, with the doors 7 in closed position, the latch '17 will engag the doors 7, as illustrated in Figure 2, in a manner to hold said doors 7 against inward swinging movement and whereby access within the receptacle B can not be had by an unauthorized person.
Myimproved device as herein disclosed is particularly adapted for use in connection with milk and in practice an empty container 'orbottle C, as 1n Figure 5, is applied within th receptacle R throughthe rear or open face thereof .and the floor 141 is held against swinging movement under the influence of the weight of said bottle or container by a rock arm 19 carried by a vertically disposed rodor shaft 20. The rod or shaft 20 isarranged within the receptacle R and is supported for rocking movement by a s1de wall of the receptacle, as at 21. The rock arm 19 is substantially horizontally dis-- the floor 1 1, said floor is held. against depression and the forward portion of the floor held against resultant upward swing.- ing movement so that the doors 7 are free to swing inwardly. The milkman removes the mpty bottle or container C from within the.
receptacle R and applies a filled bottle or container and'at the same time operates the member or crank 22 to swing the arm 19. into an inoperative position, whereupon the rear portion of the floor 1 1 moves down wardly and the forward portion of the floor swings upwardly, bringing the latch 17' into locking relation with respect. to the doors 7 as is particularly illustrated in Figure 2. Access can thenonly be had within the receptacle B after the door D has been moved into an open position.
The inner or rear end portion of the latch member 17 contacts with a stop lug 23 depending from the floor 14 in advance of its pivotal mounting and at the rear of the recess or cut-out portion 14.
From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a deposit and collection receptacle constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it maybe assembled and operated, audit will also be obvious that my invention is susceptable of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myselftothe precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.
