My invention relates to receptacles for` holding volatile tliquids and particularly receptacles of the kind described in Which articles may be dipped to be subjected to the cleansing properties of the volatile liquid. y

The inventionzhas among its other objects A' the production of devices of the kind described which are convenient, safe, durable, and satisfactory for use wherever found applicable.

A particular object 'of the invention is to provide an improved receptacle of the kind described wherein means is provided for preventing combustion of allv of the liquidwhen a portion thereof is ignited.

Another particular object of the invention is to provide an improved device of the kind described in which a plurality of relatively small articles may be washed simultaneously from. i

Still another Iparticular object of the invention is to provide improved devices of the kind described having a separable receptacle for holding articles which are to be dipped into the volatile liquid.

Many7 other objects and advantages of the construction` herein shown and described will be obviousto those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein given.

To this end my invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts herein shown and described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

and may be simultaneously removed there- In the drawings, wherein like reference 'characters indicate likev or corresponding parts:

Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a receptacle embodying'the invention v Fig. 2 is a sectiontakenonline 2--2 of rial; -v Fig. 3 is a section'takenfon line 3-3 of Fig. 2;

. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 2; y

F ig.Y 5 is a central .vertical'section taken through acanwhich forms part of the proved device Shown in Fig. 1;' v

Fig. 61is a section taken on line 6-6 of Fig. 5; and

Figure 7 'is a detailed view showing the con- .nection between the first and second receptacles.

Referring to the drawings, wherein I have shown a preferred-form of the invention, the reference character 10 designates in general a relatively large receptacle adapted to hold a volatile liquid. such as gasoline or the like. As shown., the receptacle 10 is substantially cylindrical and comprises a cylindrical wall 11, a bottomy wall 12 and a top wall. 13, the walls 12 and 13 being rigidly secured to the cylindrical wall 11 by lap seams. Formed 1n the top wall 13 is a relatively large opening 15 whicdh. is bounded by an annular flange 16 extending upwardly from the top wall 13. It will be noted that the annular flange 16 is bent orturned outwardly and downwardl as at 17 and that portions of the member 1 are' cut away as indicated at 18 in Fig. 3 for a purpose hereinafter described.

Arranged in the opening 15 is a substantially cylindrical can 20 which at its upper edge is turned outwardly and downwardly to snugly engage the outer surface of the member 17 formed integra-l with theflange 16, this downwardly turned portion of the upper edge ofthe can 20 being designated .by the reference character 21. The lower edge of the portion 21 is preferably turned inwardly so that it may engage the bottom'edge of the member 17v and prevent withdrawal of the can from the'receptacle 10. The inwardly turned edge of the portion 21 is designated by the reference character 23 land is cut away at l certain points as best shown at 24 in Figs. 3, '5 and 6. The arrangement is such that if the can 20 is angularly displaced around its loncal in form and is preferably provided with a vplurality of ame proof apertures L26 and 27 zoo Y can 2O is preferably provided with a plurality of relatively long apertures 35 which are covered by a sheet of perforated metal 37 or the equivalent, the perforations in the metal 37 being flame proof. At its upper end, the cylindrical `vvjall of the can 20 is provided With a plurality of relatively long apertures 38 which are also covered by a strip of metal 39 Ahaving flame proof apertures.

The -opening 15 in the receptacle 10 is preferably provided with a cover 40 hinged as at 41 to the receptacle, thecover being adapted to fit snuglyover the annular portion 23 of the can 20.7 The cover 40 is preferably pro vided with a handle member 4:3 to facilitate the opening thereof.l

The above described device is particularly adapted to be used in machine shops, gara es or the like for Washing tools, or small machne parts in gasoline or the equivalent. Obviously, if the cover 40 is brought into its opened position, gasoline may be poured into the receptacle 25 and it will pass through the perforated Walls of this receptacle and through the apertures 35`in the can 20 to the interior of the receptacle 10, the level of liquid in the receptacle 25 remaining the same as the level of liquid surrounding it in the receptacle 10. The receptacle25 may be Withdrawn from the can 20 and the tools orsmallmachineparts may be carefully placed therein, after which thereceptacle maybe returned tothecan 20 and subjected to the action of the volatile liquid., The receptacle 25 may be then brought into the position whereinl it is shown in"l dotted linesin Fig. to permit the volatile liquid to drain back into the receptacle 10. It is, of course, understood that the plates 30 may be aligned with the bracket members by angular y displacing the receptacle 25a few degrees.

After the ,volatile liquid has been' drained from the receptacle 25, the receptacle may be used to carry the tools and machine parts to a Work bench or any other apparatus.

A feature of my improved device is that the flame proof apertures provided inthe sheet metal 37 and 39 prevent the gasoline surrounding the can 20 from becoming ignited when the gasoline Within the can is ignited. This' prevents the contents` of the receptacle 11 from exploding. ,f It will also be noted that the can 20 and the receptacle 25 are not provided 4with relatively ,small openings at receptacle beingprovided with ame apertures and with an` a erture to permit the lpassage of iuld, a thu receptacle movably is being filled.

Having thus described my invention, it is obvious that various immaterial modifications maybe made in the same without departing from the spirit of myk invention;

\ from the interior of the receptacle 11 when it e hence I do not Wish to be understood as ,limiting myself to the exact lform, construction, ar-` rangement and combination of parts herein shown and ,described or uses mentioned.
