CONTAINER Filed May 29, 1934 lY/ @fr A 6 .1f/WW1@ H// M Patented Mar. 10, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE (Granted mier me et mmh s, lass, as amended April 30, 1928; 370 0. G. 757) This invention described herein may be manuiactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes, without the payment to me of any royalty thereon.
This invention generally relates to a supplementary container used in serving canned liquids directly from the can, but 'more especially it is directed to the service of condensed milk at the dining table.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a container of pleasing appearance into which the milk can may be placed and the contents thereof conveniently served, thus hiding the original unsightly container.
l5 Another object of the invention is to provide a supplementary container for retaining the can after it has been opened and in which it may remain until its contents are eventually consumed.
One form of the device is illustrated in the attached drawing in which- Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the container shown partially in section taken on the lines I--i of Fig. 2.
25 Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view.
It will be seen that the invention consists essentially of an inverted cup or outer container, mounted on legs and having two tubes (3) and (5) protruding from the head of the con- 3o tainer. The container is provided with a handle i4) and a clamp comprising a thumb screw (I5) and a pressure plate (l0).
Soldered to the inside of the head of the container is a resilient strap (i) the lower portions 35 of which extend downward almost to the bottom of the container (2), thus forming an inverted U. Fastened securely to and protruding through the strap iron and head of the container is the tube (3), the upper part of which is de- 40 signed to serve as the spout of a pitcher, the lower end of which terminates in a diagonal cut, adapted to penetrate the top of the can (4) containing the liquid near the edge thereof. 'I'he tube (5) which is installed similarly to that of tube (3) 45 serves as an air inlet, the upper portion of it being ush with the-top of'the container (2) while the lower end being similar to that of tube (3) punctures the top of the can near its outer edge and diametrically opposite to the puncture made 50 by tube (3).
The ends of the heavy cross-bar (6) are seated in the perforations (l) and (8), cut through the lower ends of strap (i). Through the center of the cross-bar is a threaded hole through which 55 extends the threaded portion (9) of the thumb screw (I3), the upper end of which is riveted loosely to the pressure plate (I0) exerting pressure upward against the bottom of the can (4) when the T handle (Ii) of the thumb screw is turned to the right. This pressure forcesthe can upward and causes the lower portions of the tubes (3) and (5) to penetrate the top of the can, as shown in Figure 1. With the can in this position the containing device may be used as a pitcher. the contents flowing out through tube (3) while air ows in through tube (5). The washers (Il) which may be of rubber, as indicated in the drawing, or any other suitable material, are used to prevent leakage.
` To remove the can from the container, the thumb screw (I5) must first be turned to the left until the plate (I0) is out of contact with the bottom of the can (I). The lower ends of the strap (I), are then spread outward, as shown by dotted lines in Figure 1, until the perforations (l) and (8), which are located in the said strap clear the ends of the cross-bar (6), when the cross-bar with its screw-clamp mechanism falls out. The can then drops out or is pulled out by hand.
The usefulness of this device can best be illustrated in the consumption of condensed milk. Heretofore condensed milk has either been served from the can by puncturing the top in two places, placing the can on the table and serving directly from the can, or by rst pouring the milk from the can into a pitcher and then serving from the pitcher.
When serving directly from the can, the' milk is preserved much longer after opening, the holes normally being so small that very few bacteria and none of the odors in the refrigerator succeed in entering the can. The condensed milk companies recommend this method of serving. However most housewives object seriously to the milk can on the dining table, due to its unsightliness. 40
When milk is poured into a pitcher immediately upon opening, it usually becomes polluted by sourlng and putrefying bacteria as well as with all the strong odors of the refrigerator. In addition, the sides of the pitcher usually become encrusted with dried milk, all of which makes this method of serving condensed milk quite unsatisfactory. By means of the invention described above, condensed milk can be served directly from the can with all the sanitary advantages involved, and at the saine time be served in a manner pleasing to the eye of the most fastidious housewife.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and wish to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A receptacle of the character described having a closed 4top and an open bottom, said receptacle adapted for the reception of a sealedcontainer, diagonally cut tubes serving as a spout and an inlet projecting inwardly from the top of said receptacle, an inverted U-shaped resilient bar rigidly attached at the upper portion of thel receptacle with its legs projecting downwardly into lthe interior thereof, the legs of said bar being each provided with an opening adjacent their lower extremities; a cross bar adapted to be tted within the openings in the legs, and pressure exerting means attached to said cross bar to force the container against the diagonally cut tubes to perforate the same and thereby provide unobstructed passages for the entrance of air and the escape of the contents thereof.
2. A receptacle of the character described having a closed top and an open bottom, said receptacle adapted for the reception of a sealed container, diagonally cut tubes serving as a spout and an inlet projecting inwardly from the top of said receptacle; an inverted U-shaped resilient bar rigidly attached to the inner surface ofthe top of the receptacle with its legs projecting downwardly into the interior thereof, the legs of said bar being eachprovided with an opening adjacent their lower extremities; a cross bar with reduced end portions adapted to be tted within the openings in the legs, said cross bar being provided with a centrally threaded opening, a thumb screw in threaded engagement with said central opening, a pressure plate rotatably mounted on the upper extremity of the said thumb screw to retain the sealed container within the receptacle and adapted to exert pressure thereon with rotation of the thumb screw to press the top of the container against the diagonally cut tubes to perforate the same and thereby provide unobstructed passages for the entrance of air and the escape of the contents thereof.
