Description

NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. l
RALPH' CULLINAN, OF RICHMOND, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, COMPANY, F NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION 0F DELAWARE.
CONTAINER.
This invention relates to liquid' containers and more particularly to'containers adapted to he refilled through a temporary hole or opening in the top thereof, which hole is suby sequently sealed after the ,refilling operation is completed. ln shipping liquid in containers, particularl to distant points, it frequently is desira le to refill the containers. In the oase of containers which have a removable closure for vthe filling opening, this matter of re- 4filling is comparatively simple, but where the closure member is more or less permanently secured 1Within the'filling and pouring openfi ing as by crimping or the like,the matter of subsequently refilling is more complicated. in such cases special tools may be required in order to remove the crimped closure, or it may even be necessary to deface the container in order to provide an opening for refilling.
llhe present invention contemplates' the provision of what may aptly be called a blind cap hole. ln other words, it is intended to provide, in addition to the spout or other permanent closure for the filling and pouring opening, an indicated spot or area Whereza temporary filling opening may be made and over Vwhich a separate closure member, preferably in the form of`a cap, may be secured as by soldering so as to conceal the temporary opening and to prevent leakage therefrom.
Accordingly, one of the objects of the invention is to provide a container which may V loe refilled Without disturbing the seal or spout u over the original filling and pouring opening.
Another object of the invention is to provide a container having a top which may be conveniently punctured Within an indicated area for the purpose of refilling and subsequently to provide-a liquid tight seal for the temporary opening. Other objects, features 4and advantages o the invention will appear as the description 5 thereof, 'when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, proceeds.
in the drawing,
1926. Serial N0. 110,081.
Fig. 1. is a plan view of a can top embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional View taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, 10 indicates the top of a container which, for the purpose of' illustration, may be assumed to be the top of an oil can, and the top is provided with a filling or pouring opening 12 having a pe- 5 ripheral flange 14 upon which a pouring spout or closure member 1G may be permanently secured as by crimping it thereon with a suitable crimping tool.
At a p oint spaced from the opening 12 the can top10 is stamped or otherwise formed to provide an annular groove or recess as indicated at 18,'having on its inner edge a raised rim or bead 20. Whenever it becomes necessary to refill the can, a hole may be punctured iu the can top Within the circular rim or bead to serve as a filling opening, and when the filling operation is completed a convex cap 22, having a fianged rim 24: adapted to be seated With its edge in the groove 18, may be 70 soldered into position over the punctured opening so as to both seal the temporary opening and prevent leakage therefrom. `With ther-ap 22-soldered in position the can top again presents a neat and tidy appearance and does not show the effect of the puncturing which was necessary in order to refill the can.
What I claim is:
In a can top having a filling and ouring opening and a permanent closure therefor, a restricted area in the top of the can indicated by a depression spaced from the permanent closure and adapted to be punctured to provide atemporary refilling opening, a rim around the inner edge of' the depression, and a cap adapted to fit over saidrim-and to be permanently secured thereon to close and conceal the temporary refilling opening In Witness whereof` I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of May, 1926.
