ADVERTISEMENT DISTRIBUTOR.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ALBERT Comer, and ARTHUR W. MARLER, citizens of the United States, residing at Sapulpafin the county of Greek and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Advertisement Distributors, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
The present invention relates to an aeroplane attachment, and more particularly to a device for distributing advertising matter such as bills, pamphlets, catalogues, messages, and samples of various articles from an aeroplane.
The principal object resides in providing a carrier positioned upon the aeroplane in easy reach of the pilot so that he may release the parts so as ing matter at will. 7
Another object consists in providing the carrier with a plurality of compartments containing the advertising matter, and means for releasing the matter in the various compartments separately or in unison.
A further object resides in providing forcing the advertising matter from the carrier so that it will drop free of the aeroplane and not hinder the operation of the machine.
With these and other objects in view our invention consists in the novel details of construction and arrangement of parts which will be more clearly understood from the following specification and drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top plan,
Figure 2 is a front elevation,
Figure 3, is a fraginental vertical section through two of the barrels with portions of the supporting frame shown in elevation, and i Figure 4; is a detailed perspective of the operating crank shaft and rods.
Tn carrying out the invention we provide a carrier which may be connected to the aeroplane in any desired manner but will be so positioned as to be within easy reachcf the. operator. The carrier is formed with supporting legs 1 connected at the top by a handle 2. A top board. 3 extends between and is secured to the legs 1, and is provided with a plurality of openings for a. purpose to be later described. A second board i 18 secured to the legs 1 in spacedrelation to the top board 3 and this board 18 also pro- Specification of Letters Patent.

vided with a plurality of openings through which barrels 5 pass. These barrels are secured'at their upper ends to the under side of the top board 3 and the upper end of each barrel surrounds one of the openings formed in the board 3: A door 6 is hingedly connected to the lower end of each barrel and is held in closed position by a. catch 7 which is pivoted to the barrel at 8. As shown, the catch is formed with a right angleextension on each end, the upper extension passing through an opening adjacent the lower end of the barrel, for a purpose to be later described, and the lower extension engaging under the edge of the door to hold it in closed position.
A follower 9 is slidably mounted in each barrel and has a rod or bar 10 connected to the upper face thereof. The bars 10 are adapted to in the top board 3. A hook 11 is formed on or secured to the upper end of each of the rods or bars 10 and these hooks are used for raising the followers in a manner to be later described. A notch 13 is formed in one edge of each of the bars or rods 10 to be engaged by a catch to be later described.
A .coil spring 14 surrounds each of the rods or bars 10 between the under side of the top board 3 and the upper surface of the follower 9. These coil springs will normally tend to force the followers towards the lower ends of the barrels.
A fiat bar 15 is secured to one edge of each of the followers 9 and extends longitudinally of the barrel 5. The lower end of the bars Patented May 31%22.
pass through the openings formed 15 are curved as indicated at 16 so as to fit I around the upper right angled extension of the catch 7. The lower end of the bar 15 en gages the barrel as indicated at 17 A. fiat bar 18 is secured to the opposite edge of the follower 9 and the lower endis curved as shown at 19 to engage the side of the barrel. The curved port-ion 16 of the bar 15 Will en gage and disconnect the catch 7 when the follower 9 is depressed and the end 17 of this bar 15, as well as the end 19 of the bar 18, will prevent the advertising matter from sticking to the interior of the barrel. In the drawings we have illustrated the bar 18 as of less length than the bar 15, but it will be understood that the bars might be made of various lengths without departing from the spirit of the invention. A plurality of bell crank levers 20 are pivo-tallyconnected, at 21, to the upper surface of the top board 3 md, as shown, one of these levers will be rdj acent each of the rods or bars and will )e adapted, when the bars are raised, toengage in the notches 13, as shown. A coil ;pring 22 is connected to each of the bell :rank levers, and'to the board 3, and tends 3o normally engage the end of the lever in the notch 13. A rod 23 is secured toeach of the bell crank levers and extends towards the front edge of the board 3 so as to be in easy reach of the operator of the aeroplane. The outer end of each of these rods is bent at right angles to form an extension 24. V

28 is formed on,
when desired, in its for rotating the same, bearings. a a
From the foregoing detailed description, it is thought that the construction of our evice will be clearly understood. As stated in the objects of the invention, the carrier is adapted for distributing advertising mat-. ter from an aeroplane, and will be made of some light material which will not add unnecessary weight to the aeroplane. As previously stated, the carrier may be secured to the aeroplane in any suitable manner, while we have illustrated twelve separate drums for holding and distributingthe advertising matter, it will be understood that any number of drums might be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.
When it is desired to fill the barrels, the hooks 11, of the bars or rods 10, are engaged and the followers 9 raised in the barrels, against the tension of the coil springs .14. WVhen the notch 13 reaches the proper position the end of the bell crank lever 20 will be forced therein through action of the coil spring 22. These bell crank levers will hold the followers in raised position. and the advertising matter may be inserted through the opening formed in the lower end of the barrel. It will be understood that the door allow the insertion of the matter. After the advertising matter has been placed in the barrel the door 6 will be raised and held in closed position by,
means of the catch 7 If desired a jack or other suitable lifting device might be inserted beneath the hooks 11 for raising'the' followers.
To release the matter is necessary to operate the rods 23 connected to the bell crank levers 20. If it is desired to operate all of the barrels in unison the handle 28 of the shaft 25 will be grasped and the shaft rotated. The offset portions 27, engaging the right angled extensions 24,
to allow the doors and from the barrels, it
followers will lower the bars 15 and the will release the catches 7 6 to open. The ends 17 and 19, of the bars 15 and 18, respectively, will scrape the sides of the drum and prevent the advertising matter from sticking curved portions 16 in the drum. If it is desired to discharge the matter from the drums separately any one of the rods 23 might be operated and in turn operate the bell crank lever associated therewith.
While we have described the preferred form of our invention, it will be understood that minor changes in the details of construction and operation might be made without departing-from the spirit of the invention.
Having fully described our invention, what we clam as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. An advertisement distributor comprisinga barrel, a door hinged to the lower end of the barrel, means for holding the door closed, a plunger operable in the barrel,
