AIR-TIGHT SEALING DEVICE Foru eANs.
Application filed. August 3, 1926. Serial No. 126,758..
This invention relates to devices for use on top of cans, especially milk cans, for the purpose of sealing the ends or openings formed in the can for inspecting or dispensing the contents thereof.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a device of this character which will be simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture and which will be adapted for use as a permanent attachmentupon top of the can and will, be capable of being readily and easily operated to perform the desired functions.
Other objects of the invention will appear 5 upon consideration of the following detailed description and accompanying drawing in which: n
Figure 1 is a plan View of the device constructed in accordance with my invention,
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section through the same,
Figure 3 is a detailed cross section-on the line 33 of Figure 1 and Figure 4 is a cross section taken on the line 4 4- of Figure '1. A
Referring to the drawing by numerals, the can 1, illustrating a milk can. is provided with the sealed top 2 which is provided with diametrically opposite punctures or dents 3. These openings are to be screwthreaded to receive the screwthreaded shank 4 of the fastening screws. A sealing band 5 is formed of a strip of metal approximately equal in r length to the diameter of the can and this strip is provided at its center wlth a pivot pin 6 fastened to the top of the can, whereby the sealing band 5 may be swung on the top of the can. Each end of the sealing band 5 is provided with an opening to re-v ceive one of the screws 4 and washers 7 are interposed between the top of the can and the ends of the sealing band 5. The heads 8 of the screws 4: are each provided with pintles 9 extending transversely through the heads 8, and the extended ends of these grips 10 which are adapted to be raised to the positions shown by dotted lines in Figgrips 10 may then be of construction without piIi-. ties are hingedly connected to the finger ures 3 and 4- whereby they may be used as finger grips in turning the screws 4. l Vhen the finger grips are not in use, however. they lie flat against the sealing band 5 and are held in this position by, fastening tongues 11 formed of portions ofthe band 5 pressed outwardly therefrom and extended through slots or openings 12 in the members 10, where they are bent as shown to maintain the members 10in position against the sealing band 5.
When the sealin band is to be opened, the tongues 11 will be, bent upwardly so that the finger grips 10 may be swung on their pintles 9. to a vertical position. The finger utilized to turn the screws and remove them'from the screwthreaded openings in the top of the can, whereupon the sealing band 5 may be swung upon its pivot 6 to expose the openings or dents 3 in the top of the can.
Minor changes may be made in the details departing from the spirit of the invention claims hereunto appended.
What I claim is:
1. A device of the character described or the scope of the v p 6 comprising, in combination with a can body having a sealed top, the said top being punctured with diametrically opposite openings, the said openings being screw threaded, a sealing band extending diametrically across the top of the can and pivotally attached to the center thereof, sealing screws carried by the ends of the said band and adapted to be screwthreadedly mounted in the said openings in. the top of the can, the heads of the 8 said screws being equipped with pintles, and hingedly mounted finger grips mounted on the extended ends of. the said pintles.
2. A device of the character described comprising, in combination with. a can body having a sealed top, the said top being punctured with diametrically opposite openings, the said openings being screw threaded, a sealing band extending diametrically across the top of the can and pivotally attached to the center thereof, sealing screws carried by finger grips having openings formed therein, and ineans'onsaid sealing band for releasably holding the said finger grips in inop- 10 V erative positions. 7
Intestimony whereof, I have efiixedmy signature. I it J AKOBI HANSEN.
