UNITED STATES THOMAS In. TALIAFERRO, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
JAR cnosnme.
Application filed June 8. 1921. Serial No. 475,921.
The invention relates to new and useful improvements in jar closures, and more particularly to a metal closure adapted to be used in connection with a lass or porcelain jar having a 'substantia ly straight or vertical outer wall with which the closure makes gripping contact.
An object of the invention. is to provide a jar closure having a depending flange adapted to extend down along side of the outer wall-of the jar with spaced, elongated, vertically disposed projections which are adapted to grip the side wall of the jar and hold the closure thereon. A further object of the invention is to provide a jar closure of the above type wherein the inner face of the flange and the projections are coated with a sealing material which is adapted to be scraped from the projections when the closure is forced onto the jar and packed between the flange and the wall of the jar to aid in sealing the same.
These and other objects will\ in part be obvious and will in part be hereinafter more-fully disclosed. In the drawings, which show by way of illustration one embodiment 9f the invention- Figure 1 is a side view of the upper portion of a jar showing my improved closure applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a enlarged sectional view of the closure and showing in dotted lines the upper portion of a jar;
Fig. 3 is a still further enlarged vertical section of a portion of the closure before being applied to the jar; .1
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing the closure applied to the jar and the sealing material scraped from the projections and packed between the flange and the side wall of the jar.
My improved closure is'preferably made of sheet metal and consists broadly of a top portion having an integral depending flange,
- said flange at the lower portion thereof being referably bent outwardly and thence inwar y toform a strengthening bead for the flange is provided with a series of elonthe lower portion of the flange. This also gated closely spaced vertical projections detail to the drawings,v
wardly at 7 to form a strengthening bead for the lower portionof the flanga- The I inwardly bent portion 7 terminates so that the extreme lower edge thereof lies in a circle of larger diameter than the inner diameter of the flange 5, and this forms a relatively large entrance opening for the jar when the closure is placed on the jar.
The portion of the flange above the strengthening bead is substantially vertical, andsaid vertical portion of the flange is formed with a series of vertically disposed ribs spaced from each other a slight distance and projecting inwardly from the flange. The inner face of the flange, including the projections, is coated with sealing material 9. The top portion 4 of the closure is bent so as to form an annular groove 10 which is adapted to engage over the upper edge of the j arv 11. The sealing material 9 also lines the inner face of the groove 10. The inner diameter of the flange 5 is slightly greater than the outer diameter of the ar. The distance from the inner face of one projection 8 to a diametrically opposedprojection 8 is slightly less than the outer diameter of the jar.
When the closure is forced onto the jar,
the sealing material which covers the projections will be scraped off fromthe projections b the outer extreme edge of the jar and will e carried upwardly and crowded in between the outer wall of the jar and the inner wall of the flange 5 above said projections. This packing of the sealing material in between the flange of the side wall of the jar aids materially in eflecting the per-' Furthermore, the sealfect seal of the jar. ing'material is stripped from the inner face of the projections s0 thatthe metal will contact with the outer surface of the jar and firmly'grip the same. The projections 8' are closely spaced. Each projection is capable of reshaping itself independent of the others. If the jar is out-of-round, certain ofthe projections at the maximum diameter of the arwill be more or less flattened or reshaped while the projections Eat the minimum diameter of the jar will be less flattened or reshaped and will grip-the outer wall of the.
jar. Thus it is that the projections will grip the jar all the way around even though it is out-of-round and without causing any material distortion of the circular depending flange 5.
By making the projections elongated in a vertical direction, I am able to secure an extended gripping surface "and, at the same time, preservea'll the a vantages of the relatively short'pi'ojections in a circumferential direction about the jar. It will readily be seen that by making the projections short in a circumferential direction and closely spacing the same, I am able to get a much bettergripping surface where the jar is out-ofround, rough or misshaped i'nx any way.
It is obvious that minor" changes in the details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed asnew is A, jar closure comprising a top portion and a depending straight vertical flange having its inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the'jar mouth to be closed thereby, said flange having inwardly extending spaced vertical ribs or projections, the inner faces of which are substantially parallel conforming to any out-of-roundness in the glass, and each rib caused to grip the outer wall of the jar.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature. Y Y
