UNITED snares PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM E. TAYLOR, OF EASTPORT, MAINE, ASSIGNOR T0 AMERICAN CAN COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.
SAR-DINE-CAN.
Application filed October 27, 1910.
Z '0 all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, WILLIAM E. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States. residing in Eastport, in the county of Washington and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sardine-Cans, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in sardine cans.
The object of my invention is to provide a sheet metal sardine can of a simple and etlicient construction adapted to be rapidly and cheaply manufactured, to have the cover soldered .On the body, after the can is filled without danger of producing leaks in the soldering operation, or of scorching or injuring the contents of the can. and which will also be adapted to be readily and conveniently opened.
My invention consists in the means em ployed to practically accomplish this object or result as herein shown and described. and more particularly specified in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sheet metal can for sardines or other articles embodying my invention. Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are sections on lines 2-2, 3-3 and 44, respectively, of Fig. .1. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail section on line 5-5 of Fig. 1 and Fig. 6 is a detail plan view of the can body after the cover is applied, but before the body flange is folded. Fig. 7 shows a modification of the cover.
In the drawing, 1 represents the body of a sheet metal sardine can embodying my invention, the same being preferably of a one piece, seamless, drawn construction of generally rectangular shape, with rounded corners 2 uniting its upright longitudinal and transverse sides 3,4. The integral bottom 5 of the body is preferably upwardly paneled or countersunk, the marginal Wall 6 of the countersink serving to materially strengthen the body.
The can body 1 is provided at its upper end with a relatively wide outstanding or right angle seam flange 7, provided with a solder film or coating 8 on its upper surface, fusibly united with the tin coat surface of the body flange. The purpose of this solder coating 8 is to enable the StUl'l flange of the cover to be soldered or fusibly united to the corresponding seam flange 9 of the covet- 10 by a simple fusing operation, or sub ection Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 589.445.
of the projecting seam flanges ot' the body and cover to the necessary heat to fuse this seam flange over the outer edge portion of the scam flange of the cover, the seam flange of the body being made wider than the seam flange of the cover to provide for this cover clamping fold on the seam flange of the body, excepting at one. of the rounded corners of the body where the scam flange of the body has a relatively narrow portion 12 to enable the integral projecting tongue 13 at one of the rounded corners of the cover to be folded around and under this relatively narrow portion of thesealn flange of the body.
The cover 10 is provided with a downwardly extending registering wall 14 adapted to fit snugly within the upper end or mouth portion of the can body to register the cover in position on the can body. This registering wall 14 may preferably be formed by providing the cover with a downwardly projecting head 15 instead of by countcrsinltint the cover.
As the solter coated seam flange of the body is relatively wide and is folded over and embraces the relatively narrow outstanding scant flange of the cover all around the can excepting at the one rounded corner thereot' where the projecting tongue 13 of the cover is adapted to be folded around and under and embrace the seam flange of the body, the cover is very firmly clamped and held on the can body at all points of the 'intereuguging seam flanges, thus enabling a hermetically tight solder oint to be formed 100 seam flange of the cover, and the tongue of the cover is folded around and under the A relatively narrow portion of the seam flange subjected to heat to fuse the solder film.
of the body. The outstanding or projecting seam flanges of the body and cover are then the solder thus fusibly uniting both the up per and lower faces of. the seam flange of the cover with the seam flange of the body.
In the modification of the cover shown in Fig. 7, the score or weakened line is located just inside the soldered seam.
I claim 1. The combination with a rectangular can body having rounded corners, and provided with an outstanding seam flange having a relatively wide portion extending all around the can body, excepting at one of the rounded corners thereof where said seam flange is'relatively narrow, of a cover havlng an outstanding seamflange soldered to said seam flange ofthe body, said seam flange of the body having a told at the rela tively wide portions there scam flange of the cover. said cover having at one of its owners an integral tongue ex tended over said relatively narrow portion of the seam flange of the body and adapted to be folded down and around the same at one corner of the body, substantially as specified.
The combination with a rectangular can body having rounded corners. and provided with an outstanding seam flange having a relatively Wide portion extending all around the can body, excepting at one of the rounded corners thereof where said seam flange is relatively narrow. ot' a cover hav ing anoutstanding seam flange soldered to said seam flange of the body, said seam flange of the body having a told at the rela tively wide portions thereof embracing said seam flange of the'eover, said cover having at one of its corners an integral tongue ere tended over said relatively narrow portion of the seam flange of the body and adapted to be folded down and around the sameatone corner of the body, said cover having a marginal weakened line extending around the same over the side edges oi said tongue, substantially as specified. 1
