PAPER REGEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters 1 atent.

Application filed June 16, 1911. Serial No. 633,634.

similar material and used for the storage and transportation of solids in a fine state of subdivision or of liquids and is particularly applicable to that type of paper receptacle in which there is a cylindrical paper body and a paper top and bottom seamed or glued thereto.

My invention consists in an arrangement and combination of parts whereby the top wall is secured to the peripheral wall and the closure is held and supported in the former, as will be hereinafter more particularly pointed out. Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which. similar reference characters indicate corresponding. parts in the different views.-

, Figure l is a vertical, longitudinal section through a receptacle constructed in accordance with my invention, the closure being shown spaced from the opening, and the receptacle being designed for granular or pulverulent material; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the receptacle shown in Fig. 1, the closure being removed; Fig. 3 is 'a vertical section through a portion of a receptacle, designed for the shipping and storing of liquids; Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the,

form shown in Fig. 3, the closure being moved; and Fig. 5 is a sectional detail s ing a portion of the top and side wall before the heading or infolding of the flanges.

In the illustrated embodiment of my invention I form the paper receptacle of a cylindrical body 10, a bottom 11 and a top formed of two separate layers 12 and 13.

' The bottom may be secured to the side wall in any suitable manner whatsoever, inasmuch as my invention does not in any way relate to this feature. I have shown the bottom as provided with a peripheral, cylindrical flange and fitting into the lower end of the body. The top includes two separate layers, preferably both of paper and in direct engagement with each other. The

thickness of these two layers is immaterial,

although I prefer tolmake them with the outer layer of greater thickness than the inner layer as illustrated in thedrawing. The two layers are secured in place separately, the inner layer being first attached to the side walls and the outer layer then placed in position to hold the folded edges of the inner wall and the side walls in place.

As shown particularly in Fig. 5, the inner wall 12 has a peripheral, cylindrical flange 14, which engages with the inner surface of the-body 10 when the end wall 12 is first placed in position. With the outer edge of the flange 14 substantially flush with the end of the body wall, or as shown in Fig.5, the two are bent over simultaneously so as to fold the flange 1 1 intermediate its edges and to form a flange 15 parallel and concentric with the body wall and spaced there- Pa'tented Feb. 3,1914.

from a distance equal to double the thickness of the flange 14. The outer top wall. 13 is of smaller diameter than the wall 12, and is placed in position so as to engage with the flange 15 to hold the latter in place. The outer wall 13 is illustrated as being of such a thickness that its upper surface liessubstantially flush with the outer or folded edge of the side wall so as to present a substantially flat top, although this is, of course, not essential. I have shown the inner layer of the top and the side wall folded in a 1 particular manner, but I do not wish to llmit. myself to this specific form of fold. I have merely shown this as one means which 'may be employed.

To permit of the dispensing of the contents, I provide the inner layer of the top with a dispensing aperture and provide the outer layer with an aperture registering therewith'but of larger size. In Figs. 1 and 2, I have shown the receptacle adapted for granular or pulverulent material and the dispensing'opening 16 of the inner layer of thetop of very small size. In fact, there are a largenumber of these openings so arranged to make a sifter or shaker top through which the fine material within the receptacle may be sifted. The form shown in Figs. 3,and 4 is adapted for milk or other liquid, and the dispensing opening 17 is of.

quite large size. The opening 18 in the outer layer of the top is the same size in each instance. 'In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the opening 18 is larger than the area provided with the openings 16, and in disk will remain in place during the ship-' the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4:, the opening 18 is larger than the opening 17, so as to leave,a seat or shoulder upon the outer surface of the inner layer 12 and around the opening 17. For closing the opening 18, I- provide a closure 19 in the form of a disk, which may slip into the .opening'18 and be limited in its inward movement by the inner layer 12 of the top, so as to rest upon the latter. This closure is in the form of a disk and fits friction tight, so that it is not easily accidentally displaced. The disk may be either solid and of a thickness substantially the same as the thickness of the outer layer 13, or it may be of thinner material and cupped or dished. The

ment or handling of the receptacle, and may be easily removed in the same manner as the paper disk closure of the common 7 milk bottle. After the contents 01 any desired portion of the contents has been removed, the disk may be replaced and the container will be closed substantially airtight.

meshes Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A dispensing-receptacle including a tubular body Wall, and a perforated inner top 3' wall with their marginal portions folded inwardly together to form an annular bead projecting upwardly above the plane of said top wall, a removable cover for the perforationvin said top wall and an outer top of frictionally engaging'with said bead to reinforce said head and prevent it from unfolding and to retain said outer top wall in position.

In testimony whereof l[ have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
