The invention relates to new and useful improvements in jar closures, and more particularly to a jar closure which includes a cap and retaining band. V I
An object of the invention is to provide a retaining band the ends of which are connected so that the band may be easily opened,
in which the connection for the ends of the band is so constructed that when once connectedand the closure sealed to the jar, it
cannot be readily separated without destroying the connection.
In the drawing Fig. .1 is a side view showing a portion ofa jar with my improved closure applied.
thereto. a
Fig. 2 is a view showing the ends of the band as initially formed.
Fig. 3 is a View of the end of the band havg0 ing the retaining lug, with the lug shaped for insertion through the slot in the other end ofthe band.
Fig. 4 is a view showing the ends of the band joined and the retaining lug bent so as to lock the parts together.
The invention is directed to a jar closure of the type wherein the cap is secured to a jar by a retaining band. The retaining band is formed from a strip, the upper edge por-- tion of which is turned at an angle so asto overlie the cap and the under edge of the band is turned beneath a shoulder on the jar for securing the cap in sealed contact with the lip of the jar. The invention is directed par 5 ticularly to the means for j oining'the ends of a bandof this type. It has been a common expedient to provide one end of a band with;
a projecting lapped tongue which has a slot therethrough and'the other end of a band said slot and is adapted to be folded down to hold the ends of the-band together. It is very easy to lift the tongue lug so as to separate the ends and remove the cap from thejariand then apply the cap and bend the tongue and lug back into their initial position, thus reclosing the jar.
The present invention has to do with the prevents the opening of the band and tamperwith a lockinglug which projects through thus raising the particular shaping ofthe locking lug which ingwiththe contents of the jar. To this end the, locking lug is sofformed that the metal of PAT E N' I (OFFICE 7 LINDSAY THORNE CRABBE, or oHIoAe ILLINoIs; ussrenomo rnonnrx-nnnivrnrrc' the lug must be bent longitudinally. before.
it can be inserted through the slot after which it is flattened so thatportions of the lug over- .lie the sides of the slot as well as theend of the slot. The-lug cannot be pulled through theslot without changing the. shape of the 1 metal "formingthe lug' and thus. the ends are. I oiged so' that reclosure is practicallyprohib- Referringirnore in detail to the drawing,
the inventionas'illustrated is shown as applied to a jar 1. The closureincludesa cap 2 and a-band 3. The band has the upper edge portionthereof bent inwardlyat an angle as indicated at 4. This inwardly-1 projecting portion of the band overlies the cap 2 as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The ends of the band are joined and after the cap is placed on the 7 jar the band is applied and the lower edge portion is turned underneath the ledge on the jar as indicated at 5. The end 6 of the band is provided with a projecting releasing tongue 7. At the base of the tongue 7 is a slot 8 which is completely within the band and this slot is considerably wider thanthe thickness of the metal forming the. band. The l other end 9 of the band is provided with a locking lug 10. This locking lug is cut from the metal and is shaped so as to provide a neck portion 11 and a head which is spearshaped, thus providing projecting wings 12,
12. Thewing portions 12, 12 are foldedout of the plane of the lug, as indicated in Fig. 3. This folded spear head isinserted through. the opening 8. The width'of the opening 8 is suficient to allow the folded portions to pass through the slot. 1 After the ends have thus been joined and the said ends pulled' upon to bring the slot down close against the base of the neck 11,' the wing portions of the j spear head are turned down into flat parallel r relation with the outer face of the tongue as clearly shown in Fig. 4.

This prevents thegremoving of the band and the tampering of the contents of the jar and then reolosin the same.
It is obviousthat minor c anges in the details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claii'n. 7
Having fully described my invention, vwhat I claim as new anddesire to'secure by Letters Patent, is
A jar closure comprising a cap'and-a band for securing the cap to the jar", vone end of the band havinga lifting tongue provided r with a slot adjacent the base thereof, the other" endof said band having a locking lug struck a from the metal of the band and having a spear-shaped head projecting in the smedirection as the lifting tongue and provided with laterally projecting wings adapted to be bent so that thehead may-be inserted tion flat against the lifting tongue overlying the sidewalls of the slot whereby said lifting tongue may be used to lift and pull on said spear head to rupture the metal and separate the ends of theband.
In testimon whereof I aifix my signature.
