CAN-TOP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 10, 1915.
Application filed April 15, 1914. Serial No. 832,011.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED J. JoNEs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ozone Park, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Can-Tops, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to can or jar tops, and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a can or jar top which can be readily connected to and disconnected from the can or jar by hand without the use of special tools for the purpose.
Another object of the invention is to provide a can or ar top with an angular projection or hand-hold formed integral with the cover so that the top or cover may be grasped by the hand and removed even when connected to the jar or can by friction or by means of the material contained within the can.
These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure l is a top plan view of a can or jar top made in accordance with this invention, Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the rim of the jar top or cover which is provided with screw threads as usual. The angular hand-hold 2 is formed integral with the rim, and as shown, is rectangular in form with the corners 3 terminating at the periphery of the rim 1, as shown more clearly in Fig. 1.
The jar cap is formed of sheet metal such as tin, and is stamped into finished form with the rectangular hand-hold 2 upon the upper surface of the cap. The upper sur face of the cap may be plain and flat as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, or the upper surface may be curved or convex as at 4 in Fig. 4, thus giving the cap a finished ap pearance.
Jar and can caps as at present constructed, are very liable to become firmly connected to the can or jar owing to friction or to the adhesive contents of the ar or can. Fruit jars and varnish cans are very liable to have the top connected so firmly that they cannot be removed by hand, and a special tool must be utilized for releasing the top. This invention, which provides an angular hand-hold can be readily detached without the use of a tool, and in extreme cases a wrench can be readily applied to the angular projection.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that the can top or jar cover made in accordance with this invention can be readily stamped from sheet metal or material at a cost but slightly greater than the cost of the ordinary cap or cover, and the advantages are very great in that it provides for reliable means to disconnect the cover from the jar.
Slight changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claim.
What is claimed is:
A sheet metal can top having a rectangular projection on the top thereof said projection being flat on its upper surface, and having its corners flush with the outer rim of the can top to form a plurality of reinforcing elements at different points around the periphery of the can top, and a rim having screw threads therein for fitting the threads of a can or jar.
In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALFRED J. JONES.
