CAN HOLDER.
Application filed. August 19, 1921. Serial No. 493,603.
useful Improvements in Can Holders, do
hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.
My invention relates;to can holders, and
consists in the matters hereinafter described and then pointed out in the appended claim. In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the holder in position on the flange of a can to hold the latter suspended by the holder; Fig. 2 is a sectional view of part of the can showing the holder tilted in its position on the flange so that its jaws bite into the body of the can; and Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are views showing different modifications or details of the jaws and dogs.
In the drawings in which the same reference numeral designates the same or corresponding parts, 1 indicates a body constructed of sheet metal and curved horizontally on a radius corresponding to the curvature of an ordinary can 2 such as is used for packing vegetables, fruits, etc, and provided with the usual flange 3 at the perimeter of its top. The body 1 ofthe holder is triangular in outline in elevation and is provided with a handle 4 projecting rearwardly from its lower edge. At its upper opposite corners the body is provided with a pair of forwardly and downwardly hooked dogs 5 constructed to take over the top of the flange 3 of the can as shown, and with a. pair of forwardly and inwardly projecting jaws 6 constructed to take under the flange 3, the dogs and jaws being arranged in pairs at the extremities of the body and forming oppositely arranged upper and lower flange-engaging members. The parts may be variously formed; for example, each pair of dogs and jaws may be formed by bending the sides of the plate inwardlyand cutting these members in the bent portions as shown in Fig.1, or the dogs may be formed by upward extensions on the upper edge of the body bent inwardly to form hooks, and the jaws may be formed by bending the sides of the plate inwardly as shown in Fig. 3; the dogs may be formed as plain.
hooks as they are shown in Fig. 3, or they may be provided with serrated or roughened surfaces on the inner faces of their ends as shown in Fig. 5, and the jaws may be formed by cutting or stamping out strips of the metal of the body near its upper corners and bending the strips into the pointed jaws 6 as shown in Fig. 4, or by mounting rivets 7 in the body near its upper corners and providing them with outer points 8 as shown in Fig. 5. The essential requirement for the dogs is that they will closely engage the upper edge of the can-flange, and the essential requirement of the jaws is that they will engage'under the can-flange, in relation that embraces the flange snugly so that it cannot pass out of the openings between the dogs and jaws when the holder is in place in the position shown in Fig. 1. Also, it is desirable that the jaws have one or more points to bite into the body of the can when the holder isturnedon the flange to the position shown in Fig. 2.
In using the holder the dogs 5 are engaged over the top of the can-flange 3 and the holder is then turned on the flange by swinging the handle downwardly to throw the jaws under the flange, as shown in Fig. 1; in this position the user is able to hold the can suspended by the holder. the handle down farther with the dogs pivoting on the flange the points of the jaws arecaused to bite into the body of the can as shown in Fig. 2, so that the can is held against rotation as when a can-opener is ap plied to cut its top, and by alternately swingingthe handle to its upper and lower positions represented for example respectively in Figs. 1 and 2 the holder can be alternately moved circumferentially onthe flange and caused to grip the can immovably by one hand of the user while the other hand causesthe can-opener to slit the top.
I claim:
A can-holder comprising a body curved in the direction of its width to correspond with the curvature of the upper flange of a can, a handle projecting rearwardly from the By rocking lower portion of the body, and a pair of opposite upper dogs and lower jaws at the upper corners of the body, the dogs being forwardly and downwardly bent to fit over the 5 upper edge of the can-flange, and the jaws being inwardly directed below the dogs to engage under the can-fiange when the dogs are engaged over the flange and to bite into the body of the can below the flange when the handle is rocked down with the jaws pivoting on the flange.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
DANNIEL M. GURREY.
