UNITED lsTATEs PATENT oFEIcE.
ELIZABETH H. NATscH, 0E NEW Yonx, N. Y.
GARBAGE-HOLDER.
To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, ELIzAnETl-I H.NATscH, a citizen of the United States. and a resident of the borough of Brooklyn. county of Kings,
vcity and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garbage-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates particularly -to the cans or receptacles used for the temporary storage of garbage and refuse until collected for final disposal, and is designed to afford simple, cheap. but convenient and effective, means whereby the cover of the receptacle may be quickly and easily removed or ap` plied, while at the same time provision is made for securely holding the cover in position on the receptacle without danger of accidental displacement.
I am aware that various locks and devices, more or less complicated. have been proposed for the purpose, which lack the simplicity and cheapness of structure which seems indispensable to practical and commercial utility and success,-whereas by my construction and arrangement of parts the receptacle and cover remain essentially the same as heretofore, and the labor involved in f attaching or detaching the cover is practically the same, or little greater or more difficult than where no fastenings are provided. At the same time I attain ample protection against accidental displacement of the cover as hereinafter more fully set forth,--the invention consisting in the specific construction, combination, and arrangement of parts described and claimed, distinguishing features being an inturned bead at the mouth of the receptacle, and a plurality of elastic resilient clips for engagement therewith positioned on the under side of the cover, which latter is also formed with a cylindrical flange fitting externally and snugly over the annular mouth of the receptacle, thereby acting as a guide to cent1-alize and aline the said spring clips with relation to said inturned bead, so that the cover may be quickly and conveniently applied, positioned upon, and secured to, the receptacle to effectually seal the latter without the exercise of special skill or care by the applier.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1,
isa view of the under side of the cover of my improved garbage receptacle; Fig; 2, is a central vertical sectional elevation of the receptacle with the cover in' place; Fig. 3,
- Specification of Letters Patent.
Application led Aril 12, 1915. Serial No. 10,687.
an enlarged sectional detail of one of the cllp fastemngs; Fig. 4, shows possible modiflicatlpns of the retaining bead in sectional etai The main portion of my improved garbage A holder consists of the receptacle R` which is of course preferably cylindrical in shape, although not necessarily so. and of suitable depth and width. In fact it differs mainly from the ordinary garbage can in having an inturned bead @formed at or approximately at, its mouth edge. This bead r, may or may not be reinforced by a wire filling, as may be found most expedient; and it is preferably an annular bead, as shown in Figs. 2, and 3, extending all around the mouth of the receptacle, although I do not limit myself to an annular flange because segmental beads may be substituted with like results if positioned on the receptacle to engage with the series of clip fastenings c,on the underside of the cover C. Neither do I limit myself to a bead circular in cross section, as modifications thereof may be resorted to as in Fig. 4,-the 'essential feature in this respect being an inturned shoulder for engagement with' the spring clips c, on the cover.
Any plural number of clip `fastenings c, may be providedon the inside of the cover, preferably three positioned equidistant with relation to each other, as shown in Fig. 1.
They may be made of spring metal or any other elastic resilient material, with Shanks c", adapted to be riveted or otherwisesecured to the under side of the cover C, and
with their free ends bent to form clasp conv Isimultaneously With relation to the in.
turned retaining bead 1", so as to facilitate the coupling of the parts and insure a per'- fect closure Without the exercise of special care or skill vin the operation. For a like reason, by effecting the perfect alinement of parts, it facilitates the removal of the cover when the latter is pulled up centrally by means of the handle c3. lt is to be noted in this connection that the only operative parts, if the spring clips c2 may be designated as such, areI upon the inside of the cover, Where they adord no obstruction, and are out of Contact with the contents of the can R; and When-.the cover is removed the can is left freehand unobstructed for the dumping of its contents.
rThus for all practical purposes my improved garbage receptacle is as plain and simple as the ordinary sheet metal garbage ycan in Which the cover is presumably held in position on the can by frictional contact alone. But unfortunately this frictional contact is not always sutlicient to retain the lid in position should the can be overturned, subjected to invasion by dogs or cats, rough usage, or accidental contact with extraneous objects, &c., Whereas my method of interlocking affords suicient resistance to retain the cover in position under such circumstances, While at the same time a comparatively slight push or pull applied centrally to the cover through the medium of its handle c3, is suflicient to overcome the resistance afforded by the elastic resilient spring clips c, so that the cover C, may be intentionally removed or replaced with comparative ease. v
For Isanitary reasons it is obvious that flies should be excluded from the can, and its contents protected against exposure or overflow until collected for final disposal; and also that the means for attaining these results should be isolated and protected from contact with extraneous objects, all of which l attain by my construction and arrangement of parts at an expense little if any above the cost of the ordinary plain garbage can, which externally my improved garbage receptacle resembles in appearance. Furthermore this isolation and protection of the fastening means is an important factor in the life and utility of the receptacle, and is rendered possible by the simple but eective expedient of the inturned retaining bead r, and there are no complicated parts to get out of order and thereby render the device inoperative and useless. The receptacle R, may be provided With the usual pail handle r', or equivalent means to facilitate carriage or manipulation.
lt is to be understood that by the use of theterm inturned retaining bead l hereiaeaeao in mean to designate any inturned formof retaining shoulder adapted for engagement With elastic resilient clips substantially as herein set forth.
What l claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,
l. 1n a garbage holder of the character designated, the combination of a receptacle formed at its upper end With an inturned bead, and a cover having a depending external {iange to embrace the upper portion of the receptacle, and with spring members following the contour of and secured to the under side of the cover and having each a curved terminal adapted to spring under said bead when the cover is forced down upon the receptacle for the purpose described.
2: In a garbage holder of the character deslgnated, the combination of a receptacle formed with an inturned retaining bead and an externally Hanged cover formed with a pluralitv of elastic resilient clips adapted to engage 4with said retaining bead, for the purpose described.
3. A garbage holder of the character designated, comprising a cylindrical receptacle the mouth of which is formed with an annular inturned retaining bead, and a cover formed with a. cylindrical flange fitting externally and snugly over the annular mouth of said receptacle, said cover being also formed on its under side With a plurality of equidistant elastic resilient clips adapted to engage with said vinturned retaining bead on the mouth of the receptacle, for the purpose set forth.
4. A garbage holder of the character designated, comprising a cylindrical receptacle the mouth of Which is formed with an annular inturned retaining bead, and a cover formed with a cylindrical flange fitting externally and snugly over the annular mouth of said receptacle, said cover being also formed on its under side With a plurality of equidistant elastic resilient clips each formed With a curved terminal adapted to spring under said retaining bead when the cover is forced down upon the receptacle, for the purpose set forth.
