Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFKIE.
AUGUST F. LA GIER, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-THIRD TO JOHN F. MILLER AND ONE-THIRD TO IRVING E. SMITH, BOTH OF LOS CALIFORNIA.
ANGEIJES;
SANITARY CAN-GATE.
Patented Oct. 11, 1921.
Application filed March 24, 1221. Serial No. 455,182.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUeUsT F. LA GIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Can- Gates, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a can gate and its object is to provide a gate which may be detachably placed on a can and operated to open and close a hole or holes punched in the can. I
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification, in which per edge of said band.
Figure l is a perspective view of a tin can and the gate applied to the can, the gate being shown in the position uncovering the holes punched in the top of the can.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the upper portion of a can with the gate applied thereto, the gate being shown in position closing the openings punched in the can.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the can and the gate applied thereto, the gate closing the openings in the can.
Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the gate.
The gate comprises a circular band 1 and one or more closing members 2 extending inwardly, preferably radially from the up- The band is adapted to surround the can 3 at the top thereof so that the closing members 2 rest upon the top of the can. Holes 4 are punched through the top of the can at such points that the band may be turned on the can so that the closing members 2 will close the holes 4 and prevent the contents from being poured out of the can through said holes. The gate may be turned so that the closing members uncover the holes and then the contents may be poured out of the can as shown in Fig. 1. When the can is empty, the gate may be removed and used on another can. The gate is particularly adapted for use on a condensed milk can, but is in no way limited to this particular use.
The gate is simple in construction, and may be easily applied to a can and easily operated. The cost of making the gate is negligible. It may be produced from a single piece of sheet metal.
I claim:
The combination of a closed cylindrical can having a circular fiat top provided with a pair of ports, one serving as an air inlet port and the other as a liquid outlet port, sald ports being located near the periphery of said top, and on diametrically opposite sides thereof, and a removable gate rotatably mounted on said can, said gate comprising a circular band engaging the upper end or the side walls of the can, and a pair of radial lugs integral with said band, said lugs being bent downwardly to lie fiat on the top of the can and arranged on diametrically opposite sides of said band, and adapted to act as slide valves for simultaneously covering or uncovering said ports when said gate is rotated.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
AUGUST F. LA GIER.
