IMPROVEMENT IN TIN CANS.
.The Schedule referred to iu these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
.To all whom lit may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN J'Osnrn Bunnnnfr, of the city of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Tin Can; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art tO make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification.
' 'Figure l is a vertical section of a tin can provided with my improvements.
Figure 2 is a detail section on an enlarged scale of the top joint.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention has for its object so to construct the l covers and fastenings of sheetmetal cans that such covers, after havingbeen cut open, shall not have become entirely useless.
Sheet-metal cans, of which the covers are soldered down to make them air tight, are at present uniformly so constructed that when they are opened the covers are destroyed andbecome useless.
My invention consists in forming, some distance below the top edge of the can A, a projecting rib, a, around the same, and in forming a downward-projecting Ilange, b, on the cover B, so Athat in applying the cover the vliange b may be Abent- Oveu. the rib a, as in fig. 2, and then' soldered tight. When 'the can is to be opened the lia-nge is out at c, above the rib, and its upper part remains on the cover, leaving the same in good shape for further Ordinary use.
The rib a is formed by doubling the metal Of the can at the upper part, and bending it around a wire, d, which is placed around the can as shown.
The invention consists, also, in inserting in a groove, e, which is formed in the under side of the cover, directly4 above the top edge of the canfsome elastic suhstance, j, such as India rubber, glue, or other material, againstwhich the top edge of the can will be pressed, so :is to insure the. security ot' the can, and its air tight inclosure.
Having thus described my invention,
I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters latent- 1. lhe sheet-metal can provided with a projecting rib, over which a flange, b, of the cover is fitted, so that by cutting the said ilange, above the rib the cover will be loosened but not destroyed, as set forth.
2. The sheet-metal can having its upper end doubled, as speciiied,'and bent around a-wire, d, to form a rib, a, as set fort-l1.
The above specification ot' my invention lne this 14th day of February, 1870. Y A JOHN JOSEPH BURKERT. Vtnesses:
GEO. W. MABEE, ALEX. F. ROBERTS.
