ITED STATES PATENT ROBERT A. RUSSELL, OF RIDGEWOOD, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO PARAGON CAN & CAP COMPANY, DIG, OF PATERSON, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
COMBINED RECEPTACLE, CLOSURE THEREFOR, AND DAUBER.
Application filed December 16, 1924. Serial No. 756,266.
This invention relates to a combined receptacle, closure therefor and dauber, especially applicable for the packaging and use of polish, such, for instance, as liquid shoe blacking.
An object of the invention consists in providing such an arrangement that the receptacle may be manually opened and closed, with a substantially tight seal, an indefinite number of times, or until the content has been consumed.
Another object consists in providing such an arrangement in which the receptacle includes means for wiping of]? surplus polish from the dauber as the latter is withdrawn from the receptacle in preparation for use.
Another object consists in providing such an arrangement in which the means for securing the closure to the receptacle serves the said purpose of wiping the excess polish from the dauber.
Another object consists in providing such an arrangement in which the closure and dauber may be released from the receptacle by a simple manual turning movement, thus obviating the necessity of bending the closure back and forth or removing the same with a jerk, and thereby tending to prevent separation of the closure and its dauber as well as accidental spilling of a portion of the contents of the receptacle.
Another object consist-s in providing certain improvements in the material, form. construction, arrangement and method of forming the various parts, whereby the above named and other objects may be effectively attained.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawin s, in which ig. 1 represents a side elevation, partly in section, of the complete package.
Fig. 2 represents a detail side elevation, partly broken away, of the combined closure and dauber.
Fig. 3 represents a detail section showing the dauber in the receptacle neck, in the act of being withdrawn.
The closure is preferably composed of sheet metal, such as sheet iron which has been coated with tin and lacquered, and consists of an upper member 1 and a lower member 2. The upper member is formed sub stantially in the shape of a flat cylinder and can readily be drawn from a blank of sheet metal by a die operation, in a manner Well understood in the art.
The lower member 2 of the closure includes a flange 3 which is interlocked with the upper member 1 by means of a folded seam 4. This seam is of conventional charactor and may be formed by a dieing operation which is familiar to all those skilled in this industry.
The member 2 also includes a portion which is denoted by 5 and is substantially in the shape of a truncated cone, or, so to speak, tapered. Immediately below the portion 5 is a bead 6. These parts. 5 and 6 intervene between the flange 3 and a threaded portion 7 at the lower part of the member 2.
In manufacturing the member 2, it may be drawn by a suitable die operation, with the flange 3 projecting straight out laterally, with the portion 5 tapered, with the bead 6 7 formed therein, and with the portion 7 substantially cylindrical in form. After the member 2 has been thus formed, the portion 7 is suitably threaded by passing it between the well known threading rollers, and the flange 3 is bent into interlocking engagement with the member 1, as previously described.
The seam 4 not only serves to firmly unite the members 1 and 2, but it constitutes a heading which improves the appearance of the closure.
A ring or washer 8, of suitable compressible material, such as rubber compound. is fitted on the tapered portion 5 and head 6 of the member 2. This washer 8 will normally be held in place by its frictional grip, as indicated in Fig. 2.
From the lower member 2 of the closure, a rod 9 projects downwardly and has a dauber 10 fixed at its extremity.
The rod 9 may suitably be composed of metallic wire and it may be secured to the member 2 of the closure by solder or in any other suitable manner.
The dauber 10 may be composed of spohge or suitable fibrous material, and it may be fixed to the end of the rod 9 by coiling the latter into a ring, indicated at 11, and forcing the dauber, or a portion thereof, through the said ring, in a manner well understood in the art.
The receptacle is marked 12, and may consist of the usual glass bottle. Its neck portion has an interior threading 13 for complementary engagement with the threaded 0 the receptacle portion 7 of the closure, and it will be observed that this threading l3 slightly restricts the inside diameter of the mouth of the receptacle.
The dauber 10 is preferably made greater in diameter than the threading 13 so that, when the dauber is removed from the receptacle, the outside will be engaged by the said threading and the dauber somewhat compressed, which action serves to wipe or remove from the dauber excess polish which it has acquired by its immersion in the contents of the receptacle.
It will be observed that the inside diameter of the tapered portion 5, as Well as the diameter of the bead 6, are less than the inside diameter of the neck of the receptacle at its mouth, and the outside diameter of the washer 8 is greater than the diameter of the said portion'of the receptacle, so that when the closure is applied to the receptacle by screwing it therein, the washer or ring 8 enters for some distance inside the neck of 12 so as to be clamped between the said inside portion of the neck and the tapered portion 5 and head 6. Another part of the Washer 8 rests upon the top edge of the neck of the receptacle 12 and is clamped thereupon by the portion 5 and seam 4. This condition of the washer is clearly shown in Fig. 1.
Thus the washer 8 not only bears upon the portions of the receptacle just mentioned in order efiec-tively to seal any cracks or fissures and to cover any irregularities in the material of which the receptacle is composed, but the said washer is forced into place by a wedging action similar to that which occurs when an ordinary cork is forced into the neck of a bottle, so that a most complete and perfect sealing engagement is established.
For convenience in manual operation of the closure, it is preferably provided with a knurling 14, which can be done after the member 1 is drawn to shape, in a manner well known to operatives in this industry.
It will be clear that the members 1 and 2 of the closure ma be formed in ways other than that hereina ove described, and that it may be desirable to subject it to an additional coating or recoating of some non-corrosive material, such as tin or lacquer, after it has been formed.
By the combined arrangement above described, it will be seen that l have provided a closure which can readily be removed and as readily re-applied to the receptacle by a simple turning movement, as distinguished from the bending or other forcing moveinents commonly applied to the. familiar form of wooden cork employed in these packages. This closure serves very tightly to seal the receptacle, thus obviating the leakage of the contents which leakage is very obj ectionable owing to the nature of the contents. Additionally, the rod which supports the dauber may be secured very firmly to the closure and no undue strain at this oint of connection is imparted by the simp e turning movement of opening and closing the receptacle. Finally, the form of the neck of the receptacle, on the inside, constitutes simple and efiective means for removing excess fluid from the dauber as it is withdrawn from the receptacle without any other movement, such as wiping the dauber repeatedly on the lip of the mouth of the receptacle, which latter is commonly practiced. As this constriction of the interior of the neck of the receptacle, by the threading thereon is, at its lower part, spaced somewhat from the lip of the receptacle, it also prevents the excess liquid from getting onto the lip of the receptacle and, from there, onto the hands of the user. These points are all of importance in the convenient packaging, shipment and use of this arrangement.
It will be understood that various changes may be resorted to in the material, form, construction, arrangement and method of forming the various parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; and hence, I do not intend to be limited to the details herein shown and described except as they may be included in the claim.
What I claim is:
A. package for liquid material comprising, a receptacle, a hollow metallic closure therefor, and a dauber, said receptacle having a neck portion provided internally with a plurality of transverse ridges formed therein and integral therewith, said rid es being so proportioned as not to materially constrict said neck portion, said closure comprising an upper member and a lower member, the members being seamed together and the lower member being provided with receptacle engaging means adapted to coact with the said transverse ridges for securing the closure removably in place, and said dauber being secured to the lower closure member and having a normal diameter slightly greater than that of the transverse ridges in the neck portion, so that the excess liquid will be wiped from the dauber as the latter is withdrawn from the receptacle, while a charge of the full absorbed amount will remain in the dauber.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name this 24th day of November 1924:-
noennr A. Rossetti.
