Definitions

  • This invention is directed to a carrier for containers such as paint cans.
  • paint cans have utilized a pair of bail cars which are clinched to the opposite sides of a can body.
  • the clinching operation involves reforming the metal of the can body to provide depressions in which bell-shaped bail cars are positioned and then the metal of side wall of the depression is necked-in about an outturned flange of the bell-shaped car.
  • This severe bending of the metal fractures the protective coating which had been previously applied to the plate.
  • Problems have arisen with water-base paints. The fractured areas rust which contaminates the product and if the areas rust through, leakers develop.
  • the present invention provides a carrier for a container having a body and a rim projecting radially outwardly from said body, said carrier being characterized by a flexible band of plastic material sleeved over said body and having upper and lower edges, the upper edge engaging the underside of the rim, and bail means having lower ends connected to said band in the regions of said lower edge and operative attendant to lifting of the container by said bail means to pull said band in said regions outwardly and concurrently twisting the band and thus forcing the band at its upper edge inwardly of the can under said rim.
  • a paint can 2 which is of conventional construction comprising a bottom (not shown), a body 4, a rim or bead 5, and a cover 6.
  • the rim projects radially outwardly of the outer surface 7 (Fig. 2) of the can body and provides a downwardly facing groove 8, intowhich fits the upper edge 9 of a can-body embracing band or body strap 10 of a carrier generally designated 11, formed of plastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene etc.
  • the band 10 snugly embraces the can body 4 and is a flat strip of plastic material stretch-fitted over the can body.
  • the lower edge 12 of the band 10 is integrally connected at diametrically opposite points with the distal ends of a pair of bails 13, 14 each of which is a strap of preferably the same thickness as the band and of the same material.
  • These bands in the stowed position have an arcuate contour corresponding to the curvature of the can body and thus lay against diametrically opposite sides of the can body with one side 15, 16 in complimentary face to face engagement therewith thereby being unobtrusive and facilitating stacking and packaging.
  • the handles or bails 13, 14 are raised above the can and brought together at their mid-portions 18 and 20 and hand-grasped by the user.
  • the carrier bails when lifting the can will cant the strap as seen in Fig. 3, so that it converges upwardly toward the can body and the upper edge 9 wedges into the groove or catch 8 under the rim 5.
  • the spread attachment of the bail members to the body strap insures that an extensive length of the body strap 10 is canted.
  • FIG. 4 to 6 A further embodiment is shown in Figures 4 to 6 wherein parts identical with the previous embodiment are identified with the same reference numerals, a single thing strip of plastic material comprising the bail 25 is used and a continuous circular flat plastic strap 26 is tightly stretched about the body of the can.
  • the strap 26 is provided with a pair of diametrically opposed pintles 27, each of which is secured to the strap 26 adjacent to its lower edge 29.
  • Each pintle 27 has a cylindrical shank portion 30 and an enlarged securing head 31 at its outer end.
  • the shank 30 extends through a re-opening generally indicated 32 in an associated one of the distal ends 33 of a bail strap 25 which is also plastic.
  • the opening 32 has circular apertures 36, 37 at opposite ends and an intervening slot portion 38 intermediate its ends.
  • the bail strap In the stowed position, the bail strap is swung over the upper edge of the can and the distal ends of the strap are pulled away to enter the pintles in the enlarged aperture 36. In this position, the bail is snug- ged against half of the can body directly beneath the rim.
  • FIGs 7 and 8 is shown a further embodiment which is similar to Figure 6 except that the bail strap 40 in the stowed position is folded in two and is fastened at one side of the can as seen in Fig. 8 to strap 45.
  • the strap 40 is unfastened by unfastening the outer half 41 onthe strap 40 at its end 43 from the pintle 27.
  • the inner half 39 of the bail strap is integrally formed at its free end 44 with the lower edge of the body strap 45 which is stretch-fitted over the can body.
  • the plastic carrier generally designated 50 comprises a body-embracing thin band 51 which has its upper edge 52 fitted under the can bead 5. At diametrically disposed sides, there are formed integral with the band .51, outwardly extending projections 53, 54. On one of the circumferentail ends 55 of each projection 53, 54 there is integrally joined an end 56 of a plastic bail strap or handle 57.
  • the connection is flexible in that it is thin, being weakened by an upper notch 58 formed in the juncture between the bail 57 and the associated transition load-directing projection 53, 54.
  • the handle normally would occupy a position embracing half of the can body and for lifting, would be elevated over the can flexing the joint at 58. Since the projections 53, 54 are cantilevered, the body band 51 is canted and causes the band to tighten about the can and the upper edge 9 to wedge within the bead groove 8 when the bail handle 57 is lifted.
  • bail straps are so connected to the body-embracing band that upon lifting, the strap will twist thus tightening the body strap and wedging the upper edge thereof into the groove formed between the can bead and the body.
