MILK-CAN BODY AND REMOVAldLE TOP.
Specification of Letters remit.
Patented Feba 29, 19,16.
Application filed January 12, 1914. Serial No. 811,714.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM (humans, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kewaunee, in the county of Kewaunee and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Milk-Can Bodies and Removable Tops, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a closure deyice for milk cans and. the object of the device is to form a tight joint between the can and the cover, thereby avoiding the splashing of milk or cream from the can during transportation or while being handled. This resuit is obtained both by constructing the can in such manner that the milk or cream thrown upwardly by j arring or moving the can will be thrown toward the central por- 7 tion of the upper part of the can rather than in a vertical line toward the top, and splashing is further avoided by making-a water tight joint between the cover and the can.
Another object of the invention is to avoid the rusting of the can common in the cans of ordinary construction in which a flanged cover fits tightly within the neck of the can.
These cans are thinly coated with tin and after the cover has been in use a comparatively short time the friction between the cover flange and the neck of the can causes more or less of the tin coating to wear off,
-- and the exposed portions then rust, thus rendering the can unfit for further use as a milk receptacle. In my construction'the cover does not engage any portion of the interior of the can and there is no rubbing contact between metallic parw.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section through the can and cover. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the upper portion of the can, the cover being broken away and a rubber ring shown in elevation. Fig. 3 is a plan view, a portion of the cover being broken away and being shown in section.
In the drawings, 1 represents the usual cylindrical can body to whichis permanently secured an upper port1on 2, the walls of which curve upwardly and inwardly so that any milk or cream thrown to the to of the can during hauling over rough roar s :or while being handled in any way will be thrown inwardly toward the vertical longi- .nular' groove 4 and fitting within said groove is a rubber rim 5. This ring is curved upon its inner slde to fit the transverse contour of the groove 4, but is provided with a plane exterior face, and this exterior face vforms a slight angle with the longitudinal axis of the can, sloping slightly downwardly and outwardly. A cover 6 is provided with flanges 7 which have the same inclination with the vertical axis of the can as the exterior face of the ring 5 and a wedging action is therefore produced when the cover 6 is fitted over the neck 3.
It will benoted that the flange 7 fits upon the outside of the can and engage the exterior plane face of the ring 5, and the farther the cover 6 is pressed down the more tightly the wedging action of said flange and ring will become.
It will be further noted that the frictional contact is entirely between the inner face of the flange 7 and the exterior face of the ring 5 so that there is no possibility of rubhing the tin coating off of any portion of -terior annular groove, a rubber ring, the
inner face of which is rounded to conform.
to the transverse contour of said grants,-
and the outer face of which is a plane suit a face, said surface being-,arranged at a siiight angle with respectto the vertical axis of the can and a cover having a flange adapted to fit over said ring, thesaid flange having an inclination with respect to the vertical axis of the can similar tothat of the plane surface of said ring, as and for the purpose set forth." g g I i v WILLIAM GRANNIS.
