c. s. BARON CONTAINER, HANDLE, AND TOP THEREFOR, AND MEANS OF UNION THEREOF June 10, 1930.
Filed Feb. 2. 1926 Jrwentoz:
Patented June 10, 1930 PATENT OFFICE CHARLES S. BARON, F TIFFIN, OHIO CONTAINER, HANDLE, AND TOP THEREFOR, AND MEANS OF UNION THEREOF Application filed February My present invention relates to liquid containers generally, and specifically to syrup jugs, and has for its object the production of a novel form of container in combination with an exceedingly simple, cheap, and easily cleansable means for attaching thereto a handle, which preferably has a containertop hinged to it.
In syrup jugs, for example, it is usual to provide a top that is preferably spring closed,
and a variety of means for attaching such a top to the jug are familiar in the art.
My invention is designed to permit the employment of a container of any suitable and preferred design that may be made completely of glass or fictile material, and which is also adapted to permit the employment in combination therewith, of a simple spring clip for detachably securing to the container a handle, either with or without a top hinged to it, the clip, being easily removable if desired, as, for instance, in washing the container, but which may be and is usually kept attached to the container, so as to be, in effect part of it.
What constitutes my invention will be hereinafter specified in detail and succinctly defined in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure I is a side elevation of an embodiment of my invention complete in a form at present preferred.
Figure II is a vertical coaxial section taken on the line IIII ,of Figure I.
Figure III is a partial view similar to Figure I, illustrative of a slightly modified form of the spring clip and its seat shown therein.
Referring to the numerals on the drawing, 1 indicates a glass container, which may be made of any preferred design and dimensions, the container illustrated being shown by way of example only in respect to form and material. The container is preferably providedrwith an ordinary lip 2 and with a mouth-defining upper edge or rim 3.
Below the edge 3, I provide a circumferential annular depression or groove 4, formed in the body of the container, and 50 adapted to receive and hold a spring clip 5 that fits snugly either against its opposite sides or into it. Said clip may consist of a piece of flat resilient metal bent to lit and hug the outer walls of the groove 4, it having a transverse extent which corresponds to the width of said groove, as shown in Figures I and II; butit may be made of spring wire as indicated by the numeral 6 in Figure III, and in such case it is seated in the bottom of the groove 4 which is shaped to fit it. so
The ends of the clip, of whatsoever form, approach each other when in use upon the groove 4 in the container 1 so as to gain a sufiiciently secure hold thereupon, and preferably terminate, respectively, in out-turned terminals 7, which facilitate the spreading apart of the ends of the clip in attaching it to the container or-in removing it therefrom, either by aid of the fingers or of any simple tool, like an ordinary screw-driver, for instance.
The clip 5 or 6, or whatever be the form of it preferred, may be, in effect, permanently carried in its groove 4, there being no necessity for removing it even in washing the container. Its function is to hold in place upon the container a handle 9 which may be and preferably is made entirely of thin sheet metal shaped or bent, on the side 10 ofit which makes contact with the outer wall of the container, so as to make the face thereof conform to the contour of the container which is in operative assemblage contiguous to it. By reason of such conformation of faces a thin portion 11 with which it is provided is readily adaptable to be slipped between the clip and the contiguous wall of the container so that the clip will hold it, with a degree of security sufficient for service, upon the container. In practice, the handle is ordinarily adjusted to a desired position on the container which ordinarily is a position that is substan tially diametrically opposite the lip 2, after the usual manner of disposition of handle on a jug.
The handle preferably comprises a horizontal top portion 12, which is preferably disposed a sufficient distance below the rim 3 to adapt it to accommodate upon it a hinge 13, comprising, preferably, a pintle 14, a pair of 123 opposite lugs 15 on the handle 9 and corresponding lugs 16 which depend below the neck 17 of a lid or cover 18 for the rim 3. A spring 19 coiled about the pintle 14 is preferably interposed between the portion 12 of the handle 9 and the cover 18, so as to actuate the cover 18, in the usual manner, to cause it to close normally against the rim 3, said cover 18 being preferably provided with the usual upstanding thumb-piece 20 for manipulating it.
The operation of my jug top, as such, differs in nowise from that of jug tops generally of the same type. It is, in respect to the means provided for attaching and removing the clip 5 or (5 and the handle 9 to or from the container that there is distinctive novelty and utility in the invention. In that respect, the operator first, by preference, springs the clip into place in the groove 4 of the container, and then, upon introducing the thin portion 11 of the handle 9 into the space between the terminals 7 of the clip, he slips the said portion 11 of the handle between the clip and the container and adjusts it by manipulation into desired position on the container, that is to say, into a position in which the cover 18 and the rim 3 are brought into proper operative relationship or register one with the other.
\Vhat I claim is:
1. The combination with a container having a circumferential groove belowits mouth-defining rim, of adetachable spring clip confined by the walls of said groove upon the container, and a separable detachable handle having a portion of it confined by the clip against the body of the container.
2. The combination with a container having a circumferential groove below its mouthdefining rim, of a detachable spring clip confined by the walls of said groove upon the container, and a detachable handle having a portion of it confined by the clip against the body of the container, the contiguous faces of the container and of the handle being conformable in contour one to the other.
3. The combination with a container ha ing a circumferential groove below its mouth-defining rim, of a detachable spring clip confined by the walls of said groove upon the container, and a separable detachable handle having a portion of itconfined by the clip against the body of the container, and a cover for the container hinged to the handle.
4. As a new article of manufacture, a handle, adapted to be detachably fastened by a spring clip to a container, said handle being provided with a thin portion, adapted to be slipped between the clip and the container when they are united for the purpose of uniting the handle and the container.
5. The combination with a container having a circumferential groove below its mouthdefining rim, of a detachable handle having a slide of sheet metal closely conformable in shape to the longitudinal contour of the container and extending above and below said groove, a lid hinged in fixed relationship to the handle and in operative relationship to the rim of the container, and a spring clip separate from the handle but closely confining the side aforesaid of the handle against the container within the groove thereof.
6. The combination with a container having a circumferential groove below its mouthdefining rim, of a detachable handle having a side of sheet metal closely conformable in shape to the longitudinal contour of the container and extending above and below said grooves, a spring actuated lid hinged in fixed relationship to the handle and in operative relationship to the rim of the container, and a spring clip separate from the handle but closely confining the side aforesaid of the handle against the container within the groove thereof.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
CHARLES S. BARON.
