LOCK COVER.
Application filed June 13,
The invention relates to covers for garbage cans, ash cans and the like,and more particularly to a cover' arranged to be looked upon the can by means of the handle bail.
The object of the improvement is to provide a simple and eiiicient means for quickly and readily locking the cover upon a garbage can or the like in `order to prevent dogs or other animals from dislodging the cover.
The above and other objects may be attained by providing ribs or corrugations at the sides of the cover for frictional engagement with the handle bail upon the can, and preferably these ribs or corrugations may be formed upon separa-te strips of meta-l riveted or otherwise connected to the side portions of the cover and so arranged as to place a. tension upon the handle bail when engaged therewith.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevation of a can provided with the improved locking means upon the cover;
Fig. 2, a top plan view of the same;
Fig. 3, a fragmentary top plan view of one side portion of the cover and locking means upon an enlarged scale;
Fig. 4, a side elevation of the same;
, Fig. 5, a view similar to Fig. 3, showing a modified form of locking means;
Fig. 6, a section on the line 6-6, Fig. 5;
Fig. 7, an enlarged fragmentary plan view of the side portion of a cover showing a different form of locking means;
Fig. 8, a side elevation of the same, and
Fig. 9, a section on the line 9 9, Figs. 7 and 8.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
The can l may be of any usual and Well known construction provided with the u sual handle bail 2 pivotally connected as by the 45 eyes 3, to the ears 4 at diametrically opposite points near the top of the can.
The cover 6 may be of any usual construction provided with the depending peripheral flange 7 adapted to snugly lit over the open 50 upper end of the can.
In the form of the invention illustrated in Figs. l to 4 inclusive, resilient strips 8 of sheet metal, corrugated to produce the alternate 1927. Serial No. 198,558.
ribs and depressions 9 and 10 respectively, are connected to diametrically upon the cover flange 7 as by the rivets l1.
As best shown in Fig. 3, each of these strips contacts with the cover flange only at its ends and is preferably spaced the greatest distance from the cover llange at its center.
In placing the cover upon the can, it is so positioned that one of these corrugated strips is located adjacent to each side of the handle bail, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
By then raising the handle bail to vertical position, as shown in these figures, the bail will frictionally engage the corrugated strips 8, riding over the ribs and through the depressions of the same until the bail assumes a substantially vertical position where it will be seated in the adjacent depressions in the corrugated strips.
The bail and corrugated strips 8 will be friction ally engaged in this position, the bail being under tension and the corrugated strips under compression, preventing accidental displacement of the handle bail andthus securely locking the Vcover in position upon the can, preventing the same from being dislodged by dogs or otherprowling animals.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 5 and 6, sheet metal strips 8a may be connected to the top of the cover, at diametrically opposite points as by rivets 11EL and so positioned that their outer edges, provided with the alternate ribs and depressions 9a and 10l respectively, extend beyond the edge of the cover as best shown in Fig. 6.
When this cover is positioned, as above described, and the handle bail raised to vertical position, the bail will be seated in one of the depressions l0a and will be under tension, holding the cover locked upon the can.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 7 to 9 inclusive, a resilient strip 8b is connected to each side of the rim flange as by the rivets 111 located at the lower portion of each strip and spaced from the ends thereof as best shown in Fig. 8.
As also shown in said figure, the lower edge of each strip 8b is tapered outwardly from a point substantially beneath the rivets, as indicated at 12.
Each of these strips is provided with the alternate ribs and depressions 9b and 10", each rib being downwardly tapered as shown opposite points emma.. l
providing the in Figs. 8 and 9. EVhile the lower edge portion and the end portions of the strip 8l are in contact with the rim flange 7 of the cover, the remaining portion of the strip is spaced from t-he cover as best shown in Fig.
lVhen the cover is placed upon the can with the corrugated strips 8b located adjacent to the two sides of the handle bail and the bail is raised to vertical position, it will be seen that the bail will frictionally engage the corrugated strips and as the bail rides over each rib the strip will be flexed, pern'iitting the end portions thereof to move outwardly, while the tapered lower edge portions l2 will be permitted to slide downward toward the bead 13 of the cover.
IVith the cover in position upon the can and the bail raised-to vertical position and seated in depressions of the corrugated strips, it will be seen that the bail is thus frictionally engaged with the corrugated strips in the same manner as described with reference to Figs. l to 4 inclusive, the bail being under tension and the corrugated strips under compression.
It should be understood that although the form of the invention shown in Figs. 7 to 9 inclusive is illustrated as accomplished by tapered ribs and intervening depressionsupon separate strips riveted or otherwise attached to the rim flange of the cover, the rim flange itself may be corrugated in this manner and the cover will be held in locked position by the bail in the manner abo-ve described.
I cla-im:
l. In combination with a can having a bail, a cover for the can provided with a peripheral flange having diametrically opposite resilient portions permanently attached thereto and having spaced ribs thereon and intervening depressionsspaced from said flange for resilient engagement with the bail.
2. In combination with a can having a bail.l a cover for the can and strips permanently 45 connected to the cover and having spaced ribs and depressions spaced from the cover for resilient engagement with the bail.
3. In combination with a can having a bail, a cover' for the can provided with a peripheral 5o flange and corrugated strips permanently connected at their end portions to the cover and spaced from said flange at their intermediate portions, for resilient engagement with the bail.
4. In combination with a can having a bail, a cover for the can provided with a peripheral flange and corrugated strips permanently connected at their end portions to the cover and spaced from said flange at their intermediate so portions, for engagement with the bail, the. central portion of each strip being farthest spaced from said flange to provide resilient engagement with the bail.
5. In combination with a can having a bail, 65 a cover' for the can provided with a peripheral flange and a resilient strip provided with spaced ribs and depressions permanently connected at its ends to the cover flange and nor mally spaced therefrom throughout its in- 70 termediate portion and adapted for resilient engagement with the bail.
G. In combination with a can having a bail, a cover foi-the can provided with a peripheral flange having a resilient portion spaced T5 therefrom provided with spaced ribs and intervening depressions for resilient engagement with the bail. H
In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
