prevents the disk 8 from revolving in the op-
posite direction. Thus the pointed ends of the
arms 13 are maintained in engagement with
the sides of the barrel. If it is desired to re-
5 move some of the contents of the barrel with-
out disturbing the positions of the disks 1
with relation to the sides of the barrel, the
hinged section 2 is swung up and the contents
may be removed. After removing, the hinged
Jo section is lowered and the pointed end of the
bar 4 is forced into the side of the barrel, as
above described. When it is desired to re-
move the disk 1 from the barrel, the end of
the pawl 10 is disengaged from the ratchets
t5 9 and the disk S is turned and the ends of
the arms 13 are withdrawn from the sides of
the barrel. The device can then be readily re-
moved or it may be lowered in its position.
By swiveling the eyes 14 the said eyes can
20 turn as the arms 13 are thrust out or driven
in, and thus the circular motion of the inner
ends of the said arms are compensated for
and the said arms will not bind in the eyes.
Having thus described our invention, what
25 we claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-
ters Patent, is-
1. A device adapted to keep the contents
of barrels beneath the surface of the liquid
contained therein, said device consisting of a
30 disk adapted to be attached to the sides of
the barrel, a hinged section connected to the
side of the disk, a longitudinally-movable bar
located on said hinged section, said bar hav-
ing a handle, the end of said bar being sharp-
35 ened and adapted to engage the sides of the
barrel and maintain the hinged section in the
same plane as the disk, a second disk concen-trically arranged on the first said disk said
second disk having on its periphery a num-
ber of ratchets a spring-actuated pawl mount- 40
ed on the first said disk and adapted to en-
gage the said ratchets, said pawl having a
handle, arms pivotally attached at their in-
ner ends to the said second disk, eyes swiv-
eled to the first said disk, said arms passing 45
through said eyes, the outer ends of said arms
being sharpened and adapted to engage the
sides of the barrel a perpendicular shaft con-
centrically mounted on the second said disk,
a handle located at the upper end of said per- 50
pendicular shaft.
2. A device adapted to keep the contents
of a barrel beneath the surface of the liquid
contained therein, said device consisting of a
disk adapted to be attached to the sides of 55
the barrel, a hinged section connected to said
disk, said hinged section having an elongated
perforation, a longitudinally-movable bar lo-
cated on said hinged section, apin connected
to the said bar and passing through the elon- 6o
gated perforation, a plate attached to the
lower end of said pin and covering the lower
end of said perforation, the outer end of said
bar adapted to engage the side of the barrel
and maintain the hinged section in a station- 65
ary position.
In testimony whereof we affix our signa-
tures in presence of two witnesses.
