CAN-CLOSURE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Y. Application filed December 21, 1915. Serial No. 68,074.
This invention relates to closures for cansl and the like, and while especially adapted as a closure for a powder can or a can for like explosives, is not limited in its utility to Such association.
An object of the present invention is to provide a closure comprising a spout with a cap for the spout, and means for yieldingly holding the cap in closing position and in position to permit the pouring out of the material through the spout.
A further object of the invention is to provide a spout with a cap for closing the end of the spout, such spout being provided with horns and a spring located within the spout attached to its cap upon the outer end of the spout proportioned to fit the end of the spout or to be engaged by the horns to hold the cap out of closing position.
Vith these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a'sectional view longitudinally and diametrically 'through the spout with the cap in open or pouring position. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal and diametrical sectional View through the spout and cap showing the cap in closing position. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal and. dia metrical sectional view through. the spout and cap taken at right angles to the position of Fig. 2. Fig. 4C is a transverse sectional view taken on line 1 -4 of Figs. 2 and 3 and showing the position line of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the upper end of the spout with the cap removed, showing the horns.
Like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The improved closure which forms thel for attaching to a can 11 of substantially the usual and ordinary type of powder can, by means of hooked lingers 11 positioned adjacent to each other upon one side of the spout and adapted to hook within the opening of the can, and with a'flange 12 formed about the base of the spout having an upturned' edge 13 positioned and proportioned to engage under a rib 1A carried upon the can 11 so that by inserting the fingers 11 within the opening and turning the spout engagement is formed between the parts 13 and 14 as shown at Figs. 2 and 4L. By the construction just described a removable and replaceable spout is provided with means for attaching to a powder can as stated.
Across the smaller end the spout is provided with a guide bar 15 upon one side of which are located the horns 16. A cap 17 is employed of the proper'size and taper to fit upon the smaller end of the tapered spout 10 over the horns l16 and guide bar 15 andl completely close the end of the spout. The cap 17 is provided with a rod 18 loosely connected therewith as by the head 19, and after passing' through the opening 2O in 'the guide bar 15 is connected with the spring 21 which in turn is connected to an eye 22 adjacent the base of the spout 10.
The length of the spring 21 is such that it normally yieldingly holds the cap 17 in` closing position upon the end of the spout as shown at Figs. 2 and 3, but permits the cap to be raised against the tension of the spring, the rod 18 sliding through the opening 20 so that the periphery of the cap may be passed back of the horns 16 as shown at Fig. 1, providing therebv anopeling at 23 to permit the pouring of the contents of the can for use. The position of the cap 17 back of the horns 16 holds such cap in such open position until it is manually released by lifting against the tension of the spring 21 whereupon the tension of such spring draws the cap yieldingly back to closed po'- sition. l
I claim 1. 'The combination with a can having an 'opening therein, of a closure comprising a spout having means for detachably connecting with the opening of the can, a cap for the spout, a spring located within the spout and connected with the spout and cap and adapted to hold such cap yieldingly in closed position upon the spout, and horns formed upon the extremity of the spout for engag= Patented Oct. 10, 1916.
ing and holding the cap out of closing` position.
2. A can closure comprising a tapered spout having a tapered cap at its smaller end, horns formed upon the smaller end of the spout approximately diametrically oppo- Y necting` the spring,` With the cap, a bar eX- tending across the end of the spout and 1' serving as a guide for the rod,.and horns formed upon the end of the spout adapted to engage and hold the cap out of closing position.
In .testimonv whereof I affix my signature 20 in presence of two Witnesses.
