This invention relates to cans or receptacles having two separate compartments 1n which various materials may be packed. One object of the invention is to rovide a 5 two-compartment can which is ma e of simple easily formed parts. Another object of the invention is to provide a compartment can in which the can sections are frictionally held together independently of the 10 cover. Another object of the invention is to provide a two-compartment can in which each can hasan opening facing towards the other can section and. between which a single cover or cap may beplaced. Another object is to provide a two-compartment can in which a cap placed between the cans will be automatically retained in position by bringing the can sections into frictional engagement. Still another object of the invention is to providecomplementar flanged plates on each can which will frictionally old-the can sections together. And other objects will appear from the following specification, the novel features being particularly pointed out in the claims at the end thereof. iComing now to the drawings wherein like reference characters denote like parts throughout:
Fig. 1 is a half section half side elevation of a compartment can constructed in accordance with and illustrating a preferred form of our invention; I
Fi 2 is an enlarged detail section showing t e can compartments in a different positlon from that shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of'the can shown in Fig. 1.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention the compartment can consists of two sections 1 and 2 WhichJmay be frictionally held together as will be hereinafter more fully described. Can section 1 preferably consists of a top wall 3 having a flan ed edge 4 rolled over at 5 with the upper e ge 6 of a cylindrical side wall 7. The side wall7 is preferabl folded back at 8 to form a reinforced bea around the bottom edge, and is then formed inwardly at 9. The annular wall 9 has a central opening 10 ada ted to receive a cover 11 .which' is flanged, as shown at 12. v
Around the opening 10 there is a two- -ber 11 should not be pre erably walled flange 13 which serves to strengthen ,the opening which receives the can cover 11. There 1s a second double walled flange'14 extendin between the flange 10 and the outside of t e can. This flange is adapted to frictionally engage a complementary double walled flan e 15 which is formed in the anhular mem er 16 which forms the top of can 2, wall 16 being referably bent upon itself at. 17 similar to tile bend at 8 of can 1. The inside edge 18 which forms the-peri hery of the o ening in the annular mem r 16 1s prefera 1y bent, as shown at 19, to reinforce or strengthen the metal and the depression formed by such'bending is'just sufc1ent to permit t e flange 12 of cover 11 to he between the can sections'when the arts are in'the assembled relation shown in Fig 1 As illustrated in Fi 2, if the cover memictionallyengaged in the opening 10 of the annular member 9 it is only necessaryto force the can sections-toget er bringing the complementary flanges into firm frictional contact and to draw the cover 11 firmly into the opening 10.. In this way when theflanges 8 and 17 of the can sections are in contact thecover is likewise securely seated.
Although we prefer to depend upon the frictional contact between the annular can walls 9 and 16, if desired an additional securing means such as a paster 20 may be fastened about the joint 21 between the can sections to form an additional safeguard to prevent accidental displacement of the can sections. a
The operation of filling the two-compartment container. is simple. Compartment 1 may be-loaded with the desired material and the cover 11 placed in the opening 10. After loading the desired material into compartment 2 through 0 ening 18 the two containers may be forcibly brought together so that the outside walls of the annular flan e flanges that the frictional holdin power of this joint is suflicient toretain t e can sections firmly together even where the are to be comparative y roughly handled. t is impossible to remove the can cover 11 without rst separating the can sections and this may be done by inserting a sharp instrument becombination with two can sections, of an annular flanged plate on each can section, the flange on one can section being complementary in shape to the flange on the other can section whereby the two sections may be frictionally held to ether by the complementary flanges, and a cover adapted to lie between the two annular flanged plates, beingadapted to frictionally engage inthe opening and in one of the annular members.
2. In a two-compartment container the combination with two can sections, of annular flanged plates one on each can section, the flanges of one annular plate beingcomplementary in shape to the flange on the otherannular Plate wherebythe two sec tions may be rictionally held together, a cover adapted to lie between the two annular flanged plates, said cover being adapted to frictionall engage in the opening of-one annular p ate and to be held in the opening by the other annular plate when the two can sections have been brought into frictional engagement.
3. In a two-compartment container the combination with two can sections, of an annular flan ed late on each can section, each nular flan ed plate on each can section, each annular p ate having a plurality of flanges, one of the flanges on each plate being similar in shapeand the other flanges on the annular p ates being of complemental shape whereby the two can sections may be frictionally held to ether by the last mentioned complemental flanges, the first mentioned flanges on the annular plates bein adapted to contact when the complemental anges are in frictional engagement, and a cover adapted to lie betwen the annular plates and to frictionally engage the opening in one plate whenthe can sections are frictionally ena ed.
