Abstract
A fluid-collecting device for collecting fluid from a fuel tank having an opening leading to the inside thereof including an elongated bag which is of a size which can pass through the opening, desiccant material in the bag, an elongated cord sewn to the top of the bag, and a disc to which the outer end of the cord is attached, the disc being of a larger size than the opening so that it cannot enter the opening, to thereby provide access to the outer end of the cord which can be grasped to withdraw the bag of desiccant material from the tank.
Claims12
A fluid-collecting device for collecting fluid from a container having an opening leading to the inside of the container comprising a porous bag, collecting means in said porous bag for collecting fluid, said porous bag being of a size to fit through said opening for entry into said inside of said container, holding means of larger size than said opening for being positioned on the opposite side of said opening from said inside of said container and being incapable of entering into said container by virtue of being of larger size than said opening, and elongated connecting means having one end connected to said porous bag and another end connected to said holding means for pulling said porous bag from said inside of said container after said collecting means has collected fluid from said inside of said container, said holding means by being of larger size than said opening thereby preventing said end of said connecting means connected to said holding means from falling into said container.
A fluid-collecting device for collecting fluid from a container having an opening leading to the inside of the container comprising a porous bag, collecting means in said porous bag for collecting fluid, said porous bag being of a size to fit through said opening for entry into said inside of said container, holding means for being positioned on the opposite side of said opening from said inside of said container, connecting means for connecting said porous bag with said holding means for pulling said porous bag from said inside of said container after said collecting means has collected fluid from said inside of said container, said holding means comprising a disc of larger size than said opening, and said porous bag being an elongated tubular member having first and second ends, and said disc having diametrically opposed notches, and said connecting means comprising a cord which is connected proximate said first end of said tubular member and which is of a length to be wound lengthwise around said second end of said tubular member to cause said disc to be located on said tubular member between said first and second ends thereof with said notches being at the opposite ends of a diameter which extends crosswise to the length dimension of said tubular member, and a binder encircling said tubular member and said disc and passing through said notches to position said disc on said tubular member for shipment.
A fluid-collecting device for collecting fluid from a container having an opening leading to the inside of the container comprising a porous bag, collecting means in said porous bag for collecting fluid, said porous bag being of a size to fit through said opening for entry into said inside of said container, holding means for being positioned on the opposite side of said opening from said inside of said container, connecting means for connecting said porous bag with said holding means for pulling said porous bag from said inside of said container after said collecting means has collected fluid from said inside of said container, said porous bag being an elongated tubular member having first and second ends, and said connecting means comprising an elongated cord which is secured crosswise to said first end and has first and second lengths thereof extending outwardly from said first end, first and second ends on said first and second lengths, respectively, and said holding means comprising a disc of larger size than said opening, first and second holes in said disc on a chord of said disc for receiving said first and second ends of said first and second lengths, respectively, and securing means for securing said first and second ends to each other on the opposite side of said disc from said porous bag.
