' yieatenaa 0015.26, 19151 -Applcation lfiled January 8, 1912. Serial No. 669,929.
To all lwhom it may concern: j
Be it known that I, -FiiNi RUDOLPHI, a'
citizen of the United States, residing 1n Montclair, inthe county of Essex and State 54 of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sheet-Metal Containing and Dispensing Cans, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in sheet metal containing and dispensing cans, and the object of the invention is to provide a sheet metal container which shall be cheap `fto manufacture, and of a firm and strong A being also Octagonal in Outline and of a larger cross section than the cross section of the body.
One of the most important features of my invention resides in the fact that the cover and bottom are very similar in construction, so that one set of machinery and dies may be used to perform several of the operations in the making of these parts, thus decreasing the cost of manufacture very materially.
The can or container may be suitably embossed or lithographed, or both, as desired.
My invention further consists in the improvements of the parts and devices and in the novel combinations of parts and devices herein shown, described and claimed.
In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a top plan View of a container embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section A.upon an enlarged scale, taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section, taken on .the line 3-3 of Fig. Q. Fig. 4 is a detail, vertical section, taken on the line 1-4 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a partial plan view of the bottom of the container, showing the same detached.
In the drawings, A represents the body portion. B the bottom rigidly secured thereto and C the cover hingedly connected therewith. The body A may be composed of a single sheet of metal or a plurality .of pieces of metal, and as shown in the drawing, comprises two portions 10, 10, connected together by lock seams 11, 11, the body belng Octago- .same die in both cases.
' VFna-l, in` cross section, having wide sides'lilvv and narrower sides 13. Each of the cover and bottom members comprises a single piece of metal of the same cross sectional area and shape, the same being slightly larger in cross sectional area than that of the body portion ofthe can. Each member B and C is formed with the same die, and each comprises a horizontal portion 14: and a depending flange 15. By forming the cover and bottom of the same size and shape, it will be apparent that the same dies may be used for drawing the same. The cover is preferably provided with a depressed panel portion 1G, circular in contour, and the bottom B is also provided with a panel portion 17, oetagonal in outline. The cover and body each have an inwardly turned bead 18, formed with the The bottom B is furthermore provided with a plurality of slots 19, through which are extended integral tongues 20 on the body portion A byA means of which the bottom is securely at tached to the body. A portion of the flange of the cover C is extended beyond the curl or bead 1S and is formed into an eye 21 through which extends a pintle 22 which has its intermediate portion located in an inwardly extending bead 23 on the body A, l and its ends located in outwardly extending beaded portions 24. The body portion is furthermore provided with an `inwardly turned upper flange 25. By providing-the inwardly turned bead 1.8 on the hinged cover, an easy sliding fit is made with the body portion, and by providing the panel 17 in the bottom B, the body is set into the bottom and thus forms therewith a strong and tirm connection.
Various changes and modifications may be made in the details of the invention without departing from the spirit thereof, and all such changes are contemplated as fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.
1. In a sheet metal container, in combination: a polygonal body portion; a top and a bottom of the same size and polygonal contour externally and at the marginal portions of their tops, and each .formed at its lower edge with an inturned curl, the said curl of the top inclosing the upper ends of the sides of the body and the said curl of the bottom forming a finish beyond the lower edges of the bottom, the said bottom being formed slots, the tongues being formed integral with the body portion, a cover hinged to said body portion, the cover and bottom members each having the same cross'sectional area and contour, the bottom member having fur. 15
thermore a depressed panel portion in which the bottom ofthe body is adapted Ito* be seated. -l V FRANK RUDOLPHI. Titnesses y D. FOSTER, C. XV. GRAHAM.
