geese-1S T5 all whom. may concern: A( Be it known that I, ROBERT I. Kanon, a
` citizen of the United States, and a resident ofthe clty, county, and State of New York, havev invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ice-Cans, of which the following is a full, true, and complete specilivMy invention relates, to' improvements in ice cans for use mice-making plants and consists inf the construction, combination and arrangement ,herein described and claimed, the principal object of my invention y being to provide an improved and reinforced 15 icecan Well adaptedl to withstand the strain 'and shock imposed upon' it in ordinary l"use and especially adapted to resist abrupt bend- -ing andfthe localization of excessive strains at the .joints or seams tending toexpose the uncovered` portions of the metal to theY corrosive action-,of ther liquids with which the can is used.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, and in which symbols indicate corre- 'spending parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a :fragmentary perspective View of the lbottom ofan -ice can illustrating one embodimentof my invention; Fig.V 2 is an enlarged detail section of the bottom joint, substantially life` size. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail section'on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1, looking toward thebotto-1n of the can; Fig. 4.- is a detailsection on the line lt--tof ig. 3; and Fig..5 is a section on the line '5 -5of Fig. 1.
Referringto the' drawings, l indicates a rectangular ca n body formed of a metal .sheet or plate covered with galvanlz'ing or similar non-corrosive coating andrsuitably bent and riveted together along a longitudinal joint or sea1n'2. The an body may be made of one 0r .two piecesof metal as desired. The can bottom' plate 3, also galvanners 4` and with a 4continuous .perimetric ized or Icoated, `is formed with rounded cor-V iiange 5 if substantially the same shape and size as cross-section of the can body.- This bottom, and particularly the flange thereof, thus fits closely within the walls of the rectangular bodyport-ion and is designed Ato be pressed therein, in which positionl its -rounded corners will then be spaced slightly rom the interior corners'of the can body, as shownin Fig. 3, whilel the lower edge of Specication ofet'ters Patent. Application iiled December 17,
conforming to the section of the between the bottom Patented 1912. serial No. 737,177.
its flange 5 will bearish 'with amender the body, as clearly shown'byv Figs. 2 and 4.
A U`shaped strip 6 is bent from a sep.` arate striplwof metal into a rectangular form can body and having the metal thereof at the corners continuous and substantially ofthe same degree ofrounding as the contiguous corners of the can body 4and the bottom ange. lfhis U-strip is then pressed onto these parts, as shown in the drawings, so as to clamp the two-together, the upper in.
`July 1,1913.
ner edge of said U-sha'ped strip being then lspaced somewhat below the bottom plate 3, and the upper outer edge being of the same or a greater height, as desired. ,/"The bottom ot' the strip'is also slightly eluaced from the iiush lower edges of the/can body and bottom iiange 5. `The U-strp may be made in one continuous piece or several, as convenient. Its endsare brought together in a. flush or scarf jointes indicated at 12, this joint being preferably disposed j on oneor both of the short sides of the can, and the whole stripgis then riveted to and through the body end and bottom flange as shown at 7. The small the inside'of the corners of the rectangular body 1 and the outer sides of the rounded corners of the ,fiange 5 of the bottom plate 3 are filled with a softernietal, as shown at 8, Figs. 3 and 4, a continuous similar soft metal filling 9 being inserted in the crevice plate 3 and the upper edge of the inner wall of said U-shaped strip. This crevice is-completely iilled with the softer metal 9, so as to form an auxiliary bearing for the can bottom upon the U'- strip. Another filling 1l, is placed alone' the crevicebetween the outer edge of the U-strip and the outside of the body. It is desirable also to form a further vsoft metallling 10 in the crevice between the bottom plate and the inner surface of the bodv portion. larly'at the corners, will flow upon l'ocal distortion of the parts and provides a sho-cktransmittin packing in close enga-gement- With the a jacent spaced corner Walls of the. rectangular body portion and bottom 105 iiange which causes the one to reinforce the other under all conditions of long continued and heavy service, it being particularly desirable to so brace the bottom rim of the can as to prevent cracking of the galvanized 110 crevices or spaces between y The soft metal filling, particuwhen broken, gives entrance fissures or cracks It- 1s at the corners that corrosion always begins. The inventlon also includes the insertion of a coating which, of moisture or brine to the and results 1n corrosion.
packing of oakum 13 or like material in the l and the rivets int-roduced 'and upset.
the U-strip 6 covers the seam 2 of the canv body, it is bent and stretched to conform to the overlap, asindicated in Fig. 5, and one of the' rivets 7 is passed also through the strip. The crevice 14 is 4desirably also filled with the softer metal, asbefore.
The assemblage of the can bottom and its reinforcing strip as above described, provides an unusual strengthening effect for the entire bottom of 'the can but particularly the corners which suffer most when the cans are handled filled with ice. The rectangular framing represented by the U- strip and the two thicknesses of metal inside of it,is more than equivalent in strength and durability 'to the best grade of malleable casting and is far cheaper and also much stiffer at the corners. It can also be applied to the can and bottom With a closer and better fit. In forming the corners the inner leaf or side o f the U-strip need not be slotted or notched if the bending is done while the strip is hot or When held in a suitable form and it is preferred to so make the strip. The flange 5 of the bou tom plate is also preferably a continuous ange pressed down from the body of tne.
bot-tom plate,l so that by its coperation with the continuous corner of the U-strip the strongest possible corner-joint" is there@ obtained.l f;
I claim:
l. An ice can comprising a rectangular body portion, a rectangularjbottomplate 3 provided with a perimetric" flange 5 having rounded corners .and fitted closely Within i the'fwalls of said rectangular body portion4 and spaced from-the corners thereof, a separate U-shaped strip 6 formed of" rectangularshape with continuous corners,- pressed over and clamping said rectangular body portion land bottom flange at the corners thereof, and a filling 8 of softer metal in the spaces between the corners of saidrectangular bodyportion and the flange 5 of said rectangular bottom plate, substantially as set forth.
2. An,y ice can comprising at rectangular body portion` a rectangularbottom plate.-
provided with rounded corners and a perametric iange .fitting closely-Within Athe walilslg of said rectangular body portion and spaced,g
from the. corners thereof, a U-sha-ped stripd formed of rectangular shape with cQntimAm ous unslotted corners pressed over and- Vri'gy idly clamping said rectangular body-por-A tion and bottom flange,.fsaid U-shaped strip being riveted tol said partsand having its Y.
inner `wall extended upwardly toward but spaced from the bottom plate, and a,l yielding filling 9 occupying thespace between-the edge of sucli- Wall and, said bottom.v plate,` substantially as set forth.
