Lusher, Waterbury, Conn, assignor to Scovill Manufacturing Company, Waterbury, Conn., a corporation of Connecticut Application December 17, 1932 Serial no. 647,711

6 Claims. (Cl. 221-61) This invention relates to covers or holders for cans, and more particularly to a holder for detachably receiving a dispensing can of cleaning powder or the like.

One object of this invention is to provide a holder of the above nature which is made of one piece construction open at one end for the insertion of the dispensing container and having a centrally apertured top through which the contents of said container may be shaken out.

A further object is to provide a can holder of the above nature which may be ornamented in colors or designs to harmonize with the furnishings of a room, such as a kitchen, concealing the advertising matter on the, dispensing can.

A further object is to provide a container holder of the above nature which will be simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to assemble and manipulate, compact, ornamental in appearance, and very efficient and durable in use. 1

With theseand other objects in view there has been illustrated on the accompanying drawing one form in which the invention may, be conveniently embodied in practice.

In the drawing:

Fig. l is a perspective View of the dispensing can holder.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View of the same,

A the position ofthe dispensing can being indicated by dotted lines.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view through the same, the section being taken along the line 33 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Referring now to the drawing in which like reference numerals denote corresponding parts beads on its upper and lower edges, and in which the space between said beads is filled with a wrapping flush with said beads. Itis also adapted to receive a cylindrical can without beadsand with or without a wrapper.

In order to detachably secure the can 17 within the holder shell 10, provision is made of a series of inwardly pressed pairs of vertical ribs 18 formed on the wall of said shell 10 and extending substantially the entire length thereof. The pairs of ribs 18, four in this instance, are

equally spacedabout the circumference of the shell 10, and are adapted to frictionally engage, the outer wall of the dispensing can 1'7 when it is in assembled position. Located adjacent the upper edge of the holder shell 10 is an inwardly pressed annular rib 19 which is providedso that I in case it is attempted to insert cans or containers of other types fromthat for which the holder is intended, such for example as a can having the top bead larger in diameter than the remainder of said can, the upper bead on the unauthorized 7.

holder 10 which will not scratch any surface upon which it is likely to be supported.

' While there has been disclosed in this specifi cation one form in which the invention may be embodied, it is to be understood that this form is shown for the purpose of illustration only, and that the invention is not to be limited to the specific disclosure but may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit. In short, the invention includes all the modifications and embodiments coming 9 within the scope of the following claims. 7 Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new and for which it is desired to secure Letters Patent, is: a

1. In a dispensing can holder, a cylindrical 9 shell open at its lower end and having an inwardly extending flange integral with the upper edge thereof, the aperture inside of said flange surrounding the dispensing portion of said can, and a plurality of inwardly extending vertical ribs formedin the wall of said shell for frictionally clamping upon a dispensing can assembled therein.

2. In adispensing can holder, a cylindrical shell open at its lower end and having an inwardly extending flange integral with the upper edge thereof, theaperture inside of .said flange surrounding the dispensing portion of said can, a plurality of inwardly extending vertical 110 ribs formed the wall of said shell for frictionrality of longitudinal inwardly extending ribs for frictionally engaging the walls of a container as sembled therein. V I

4. In a dispensing can holder, a cylindrical holder shell open at its lower end, an inwardly extending downwardly inclined flange integral with the upper edge of said shell and defining a central aperture therein, said shell having a pin-- rality of pairs of longitudinal inwardly extending ribs for frictionally engaging the walls of a container assembled therein.

5. In a dispensing can holder, a cylindrical holder shell open at its base end for receiving a can inserted from below, said holder having a dished top provided with a central aperture; a reinforcing flared lipped bead formed on the edge of said aperture, a plurality of inwardly and downwardly extending ribs formed longitudinally on the sidewalls of said shell, said shell having an inwardly extending annular bead am- 'acent the top end of said shell, and an outwardly rolled strengthening bead formed at the lower open end of said shell.

6. In a dispensing can holder, a cylindrical holder shell open at its lower end, an inwardly extending downwardly inclined flange integral with the upper edge of said shell and defining a central aperture therein, said shell having a plurality of longitudinal inwardly extending ribs for frictionally engaging the walls of a container assembled. therein, said shell also'having an annular inwardly extending rib near the top thereof forfrictienally engaging the wall of said can.
