HANDLE ATTACHMENT FOR LIQUID OR POWDER CONTAINING CANS Filed July 18, 1954 lll lllll l l Patented June 118, 1%35 are,
HANDLE ATTACHMENT FOR ILKQlUlID R PUWDER-CONTAHNIING CANS 3 Claims.
Due to the very extensive use of cans for containing liquids, powder and the like, and particularly the use of cans for containing evaporated milk it is a very common practice to allow the 5 evaporated milk to remain within the original can after the same has been opened for use of the contents therein. In this practice and in order to induce the milk to flow freely from the can it is understood that one or more holes must be pierced through one end of the can regarded as the top thereof, through which the milk may flow, and one or more additional holes through the top of the can so as to provide air to avoid stoppage of the flow of milk from the can. The can is then used by tilting the same until the desired amount of milk is obtained, and without the use of a handle for this purpose the can has a tendency to slip from the hand causing the milk to be spilled or otherwise wasted, whereas if there were some means for positively holding the can when in use this difliculty may well be completely overcome.
It is an object of the invention to provide a canof the customary proportion adapted particularly to containing liquid, evaporated milk and the like and to have a portion of the can depressed so as to form a groove, and within the groove a strip of thin metal secured therein in a manner so that the strip may be pulled outwardly of the can with both ends secured thereto and forming thereby a suitable handle for the can. In this manner the handle will remain permanently attached'to the can thus eliminating the possibility of the handle being lost or misplaced if it were separate from the can.
Another advantage of the inventionis the fact that the handle attachment thereof is concealed within the can in a manner so that there will be no projection beyond the extreme diameter of the can, consequently the cans may be stacked upon the shelf in the store, or they may be likewise packed for shipment.
The invention possesses further advantages, all of which will become readily apparent during the course of the following detailed description, illustrated throughout the accompanying drawing, and more fully pointed out in the appended claims.
With reference to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a reduced elevation of the can and showing a front view of the handle attachment thereon.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken substantially upon line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a sectional view similar to Figure 2,
but showing the handle attachment pulled outwardly from the can and forming the handle as indicated.
Figure 4 is a plan section taken directly upon line l' l of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a reduced elevation of a modified form of the can and a similar view of the handle attachment therefor.
Figure 6 is a sectional view taken substantially upon line 6 6 of Figure 5.
Figure '7 is a plan section taken directly upon line 'l'l of Figure 5.
Referring more specifically to the drawing, and to Figures 1 to 4 inclusive,- the invention comprises elongated grooved or indented portion 1 that is formed within can A where indicated.
A strip of thin metal such as tin similar to the metal of which the can is composed of, and both ends of said metal being soldered to can A within the grooved portion l, as at 2, and it is understood that the metal is of suflicient length so that the same may be normally folded as at 3 and clearly shown in Figure 2. In this manner no part of said strip of metal would normally project beyond the greatest diameter of can A, 2
which is further accomplished by virtue of the grooved portion I being adequate to provide ample clearance for said metal for this purpose. It is further understood that when can A is manufactured said metal strip will be attached to same in the manner shown in Figure 2 and will remain in this relation until the contents of the can is ready to be used.
With particular reference to Figure 3 it is clearly understood that by the simple operation of manually drawing the metal strip outwardly of can A as indicated at 4 in this view a durable and convenient handle for the can is thereby provided, and ,being made integral with the can a desirable handle is always available for the can without any effort upon the users part to provide a suitable means for this purpose.
Referring now to Figures 5, 6 and 7, which illustrate a modified form of the invention. In 4 this form grooved portion 5 extends the full height of can A as indicated. Suitable soft wire 6 is provided and is retained within groove 5 by clip I where shown and within said groove and it is further seen that the ends of said wire are provided with respective knobs 8. Said wire will remain normally as shown in Figures 5 and 7 until the contents of the can is to be used, when said wire is then drawn outwardly of said can and forming thereby handle as at 9, shown by the dotted lines in Figure 6. Said wire being composed of a soft metal makes this accompli shment possible.
It is further understood that wire 6 is adapted to slidably engage clips I and knobs 8 upon said wire being for the purpose of forming a stop for the wire when same is drawn out as shown by dotted lines 9 in Figure 6.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:
1. In combination with a can having an'elongated groove formed in one wallthereof, a, handle for the can comprising a strip of flexible material secured at its ends in the groove, the intermediate portion of the strip being foldable upon the respective end portions to entirely conceal the handle within the groove when not in use, said intermediate portion being pulled outwardly and extended beyond the adjacent wall of the can when ready for use. a
2. In combination with a can having anelongated groove formed in the side wall thereof, a handle for the can comprising a strip of flat flexible material secured at its ends in the respective end portions of the groove, said strip of flexible material being folded adjacent its ends to normally dispose the intermediate portion of the strip in overlying relation with respect to the respective ends of the strip when the handle is concealed entirely within the groove, the intermediate portion of the handle forming strip of material being pulled outwardly and radially beyond the adjacent wall of the can when ready for use,
3. In combination with a can having an elongated groove formed in one wall thereof, a handle for the can formed of flexible material, spaced loops arranged in the groove and through which the intermediate portion of the handle forming member is slidable, said handle forming member being normally concealed within the groove when not in use and adapted to be pulled outwardly from the groove so that the intermediate portion of the handle projects beyond the adjacent wall of the can when ready for use, and stop forming elements on the 'ends of the handle coacting with the loops to prevent disengagement of said handle entirely from the groove.
