FRANK C. THORNTON, OF EAST CLEVELAND, OHIO.
METAL CONTAINER.
Application filed March 13, 1926.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in sheet metal containers for paint or other materials providing a c0mpact air and liquid tight sealing closure means of simple and strong construction especially adapted for shipping liquids.
Another object is to provide in an improved closure means, a closure cover easily removable by opening means provided there for allowing the closure cover to be used 1 again for sealing the container.
Another object is to provide means for securely stacking the containers for storage, shipping or other purposes.
A further object is to provide improved container handle bail brackets. Other objects and features of the invention will be hereinafter pointed out and described.
In the drawings Fig. 1 is a side View of the improved container, 1
Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section on line 33 of Fig. 2 showing the closure cover applied to the container.
Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the cover closure separated from the container.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view showing a handle bail bracket.
Fig. 6 is an edge view of the cover opening means.
Fig. 7 is a face view thereof.
Referring specifically to the drawings, 5 indicates a container of sheet metal having a wall 6 formed with an outwardly extending flange 7, and upwardly extending annular wall 8 and an inwardly rolled annular bead 9.
The cover closure 10 of sheet metal has an upstanding annular wall 11 with an out wardly extending flange 12 and a substantially half round annular bead 13 having spaced depending fingers 14. An annular gasket 15 of rubber or other suitable material is carried on wall 11 under flange 12.
The cover closure is applied to the container with pressure, compressing the gasket 15, and the fingers 14 are bent inwardly under the flange 7 holding the cov r closure securely as shown in Fig. 3. The annular wall 11 of the cover engages the container "all 6 with a light press fit providing an air and liquid tight friction seal at 16 between. The half round annular head 13 of the cover engages the fully rolled container bead 9 with a light press fit providing between Serial No. 94,512.
an air and liquid tight friction seal at 17. The gasket 15 compressed between container flange 7 and cover flange 12 provides an air and liquid seal at 18.
The container wall 6, flange 7, bead 9 and cover wall 11, flange 12 and bead 13 are accurately formed by carefully made dies, providing close fitting and effective sealing faces for friction seals at 16 and 17.
The relatively narrow container flange 7 and inwardly full rolled container bead 9 provides a compact and strong structure, the inward rolling of the bead compressing and thickening the metal, reinforcing and mate rially increasing the strength thereof and avoiding the necessity of wire reinforcemerit.
ening of fingers 14 by the lever permits thecover to be applied many times again as a sealing closure for the container avoiding the use and'expense of new covers.
The container is provided with a handle bail 21 with hooked ends pivotally connected to the sockets 23 of bail ears 22 having the bases thereof spot welded as at 24 to container 5. The upper edges 25 of the bases engage the under side of container flange 7 receiving the weight of the filled container when lifted by the bail, relieving the strain from spot welds 24.
As shown in Fig. 3 means for securely stacking the containers for storage or ship ping, preventing displacement or wobbling of the stack, is provided by the annular recess 10, formed in the cover by bead 13 and the top of flange 12, which is adapted to receive the bottom 5 of a similar container, the flange 12 supporting the bottom 5 and bead 13 preventing lateral displacement thereof.
The container and closure is highly efficient for shipping paint and other liquids and may be used for similar purposes.
lVhile I have shown and described one embodiment of the invention, obviously various changes in the details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
I claim r 1. The combination of a container provided with an outstanding flange at the rim thereof and an inwardly rolled bead projecting upwardly at the outer edge of said flange, and a sealing closure having an upwardly projecting flange at its outer edge fltting within the wall of the container, a horizontally extending flange projecting outwardly at the upper edge of the last-mentioned flange, a curved bead at the outer edge of said horizontal flange, adapted to fit closely against the rolled bead on the container, and a plurality of fingers projecting downwardly from the said curved bead and adapted to be bent under the horizontal flange on the container.
2. The combination of a container provided with an outstanding flange at the rim thereof and an inwardly rolled bead projecting upwardly at the outer edge of said flange, and a sealing closure having an upwardly projecting flange at its outer edge fitting within the wall of the container, a horizontally extending flange projecting outwardly at the upper edge of the last mentioned flange, a curved bead at the outer edge of said horizontal flange, adapted to flt closely against the rolled bead on the container, and a plurality of fingers project ing downwardly from the said curved bead and adapted to be bent under the horizontal flange on the container, and a gasket between the horizontal flanges ot' the container and the cover respectively.
In testimony whereof, I do afix my signature.
FRANK C. THORNTON.
