CAN
1 Filed Aug. 29, 1928 Patented Mir. 8, 1932 I UNITED STATES STEVENS A. BENNETT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS can Application filed August 25 1928. Serial No. 302,728.
This invention relates to cans or containers which may be adapted for various purposes but which are particularly intended for use in connection with the shipping and sale of various liquids such as lubricating oils or the like or mixtures of liquids and solids.
Heretofore lubricatin oil has frequently been packaged for use %y the consumer in five gallon tin cans which cans may be provided with shipping crates in order to ship the same and which are usually provided with short pouring spouts that are more or less inefiicient in use. In accordance with the present invention, I provide a can or container which is preferably made of sheet steel and of suflicient strength so that it may be shipped without crating and having a removable head or cover and provide a detachable and reversible spout which may be shipped with the filled can and which will provide a particularly efiicient pouringvmeans.
The objects of this invention are to provide an improved can orcontainer of the character set forth having a readily detachable or removable cover with a pouring spout in the cover; to provide a can having a cap nozzle and having a pouring spout combined therewith; to provide a can or container with a nozzle and with a reversible pouring spout and having a suitable air vent; and to provide such novel features and improvements in construction as will appear more fully from thetfollowing description.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating this invention Figure 1 is, a sectional view of a portion of a can having a removable cover provided with my improvement showing the spout pro ectin'g inwardly;
Figure 2 1s a similar View with the cap reection 17 into which is fitted a vent plpe 18 moved and the spout arranged in pouring position;
Figure 3 is a detailplan view of the spout supporting disk;
Figure 4 is a side view of the same; and Figure 5 is a modification showing the device as applied to a can having a permanent top. The can 6, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, is
preferably made of sheet steel with a detachable or removable, top 7 secured thereon as preferably depressed below the, upper end of the body and has a nozzle 8 which is preferably formed integrally therewith, the portion of the top around the nozzle being depressed, as shown at 9, so that the nozzle will' not project above the end of the can. The nozzle 8 is provided with a cap or closure 10 of any suitable form such as the spring cap shown. 4
A disk or plate 11 is secured to the top 7 around the inlet or nozzle 8, and a washer "12 is preferably inserted between the disk and the top-or head in order to make a tight closure. The disk 11 may be secured in any manner as by means of spot welding or the like. The disk has an upwardly extending threaded nipple or projection 13 which is adapted to be engaged at times by the corresponding threaded end or coupling 14; of the pouring spout 15. The coupling 14 is larger than the spout 15 so that when the spout is inserted through the nozzle 8, the coupling will rest on the upper end of the threaded nipple 13, as shown in Figure 1. The end or coupling 14 has a flange 16 which is adapted to engage with the washer 12 to make a tight closure when the spout isscrewed into pouring position as shown in Figure 2. v
The disk 11 has an inwardly extending prowhich permits air to enter the can when the contents are being poured through the spout. A cork or closure 19 may be provided for the spout in order to close the same after the spout has been arranged in pouring position.
Figure 5 shows the spout 15 as arranged in connection with a pail or can 20 having a permanent cover 21.
The use of this invention is readily apparent from the description and drawings. The can or container will ordinarily be filled and the spout 15 inserted in reverse or closing position as shown in Figure 1, and the cap 10 applied to close the can. When the contents are to be removed, the cap is taken ofi, the pouring spout 15 is drawn out and screwed into pouring position as shown in Figure 2, preparatory to pouring. When the can is tipped to pour the contents out, the air will pass in around the spout through the inlet or vent pipe 18 so that a liquid will pour freely.
Cans or pails having solid or non-removable heads and having relatively small nozzles have heretofore been used for shipping various mixtures of liquids and solids which frequently require stirring in order to thorough- I ly mix the solids with the liquid. This has been found difiicult with such ordinary types of cans as it is difficult to properly stir the contents by means of such a small stick or rod as may be inserted through the nozzle. How- 'ever with my improved can or container, the
user may readily remove the top and stir the contents thoroughly and then replace the top and fasten it in closing position and then use the pouring spout for pouring out the thoroughly mixed contents.
It will also be noted that in some instances, as when filling such cans with linseed oil or the like which is apt to foam, the cans may be more readily filled by filling them with the entire cover removed, than is possible through a small nozzle or opening. This not only saves time in filling the cans with such liquids but also insures more accurate measurement as the person filling the same may more readily tell when the proper amount has been placed in the can as such cans are never completely filled to give their rated capacity.
The parts may be changed or modified within the scope of this invention as set forth in the following claims in order to adapt the device for different uses or purposes. What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. The combination with the top of a can or container having a nozzle, of a cap for the nozzle, a disk secured to the top below the nozzle, a gasket between the disk and top, an outwardly extending threaded projection on the disk, a pouring spout of less diameter than the projection and having an enlarged threaded end which engages with the proj ection when the spout extends inwardly and which is adapted to screw onto the projection and engage with the gasket to hold the spout in pouring position, said disk having an opening. therethrough, and a vent pipe engaging with the opening and extending into the upper portion of the can.
2. The combination with a container having a closed top with an upwardly'projecting nozzle, of a removable cap for the nozzle, a
disk secured to the top and closing the inner end of the nozzle opening, a washer between the disk and top, said disk having an upwardly extending threaded projection, a pouring spout adapted to extend inwardly through the projection and having an enlarged threaded end adapted to rest on the projection and to be enclosed by the cap, said threaded end also being adapted to screw onto the projection and to press against the washer to hold the spout in pouring position, said threaded end also being of less diameter than the hole through the nozzle, and a vent pipe connected with the disk whereby air may pass between the nozzle and the projection into the container when the spout is in pouring position.
