Description

ay 5, 1936. J. R. BONHOMME CONTAINER AND CLOSURE THEREFOR Filed Jan. 24, 1954 KNVENTUR w w H N o a W 1% a ATTORNEY Patented May 5, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CONTAINER AND CLOSURE THEREFOR Jacques R. Bonhomme, Montreal, Quebec, Canada This invention relates to improvements in containers and closures therefor and is particularly applicable to small glass containers of the ink-well or ink-bottle type.
The principal feature of this invention resides in providing a container with two sloping cap supporting walls converging to a peak at the top of the container and with a cap member that is swingably connected to the container so that it may be passed over said peak to an operative position closing a filling opening in one of said walls, or to an out-of-the-way position resting on the remaining wall.
Another feature resides in providing the wall of the filling opening with screw threads engageable with complementary threads on the cap, and designing the swinging connection between the cap and the container so as to permit the rotary and axial movement of the cap necessary to the screwing of the cap into and out of threaded engagement with said wall.
Other characteristic features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from or pointed out in the following detailed description of the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. 1 is a side View of the improved container and closure assembly as it appears with the cap closing the filling opening.
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing the cap supported in an out-of-the-way position at one side of the filling opening.
Fig. 3 is a side view showing the cap occupying a position intermediate the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the assembly shown in Fig. 1.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, 5 designates a glass ink-bottle presenting sloping front and rear walls 6 and l which converge to form a transversely extending peak 8 at the top of the bottle. The front wall 6 is provided with a filling opening 9 surrounded by an outwardly projecting neck II] that is externally threaded to receive thereon the internally threaded cap member appearing at H. The cap member II is provided with an annular groove I2 and is swingably connected to the bottle by means of a U- shaped cap-retaining bail presenting an annularly curved bight portion l3 which is fitted in the cap groove 12 and embraces somewhat more than one-half the circumference of the cap. The side arms |3a of the bail are bent inwardly at their lower ends to provide pivots I4 which are slidably received within the elongated recesses l5 provided in opposite sides of the bottle below the filling opening 9. In order that the cap may be applied to and removed from the threaded neck l surrounding the filling opening 9, it is necessary that it be connected to the container so that it is capable of both rotary and axial movement with respect to said neck. In the present instance the axial movement of the cap is provided for by dimensioning the recesses I5 so that the cap carrying bail is free to move in the axial direction of the threaded neck. The necessary turning movement of the cap relative to the threaded neck is provided for by reason of the fact that the cap is rotatably supported by the curved portion of the bail that is fitted in the cap groove I2. The relative movement permitted be- 15 tween the cap carrying bail and the container by reason of the elongated recesses l5 also permits the cap to be raised so that it will clear the peak 8 during the swinging movement of the cap to the operative position shown in Fig. 1, or to the outof-the-way position shown in Fig. 2. In the first mentioned position it will be noted that the cap rests flatly on the sloping front wall 6 in threadedengagement with the neck I0, while in the latter position it rests flatly on the wall 1 and is thereby disposed in an out-of-the-way position. It will also be noted that in either position the cap is securely held to the container so that there is no danger of it being accidentally lost or misplaced.
The sloping of the front wall 6 also has the advantage that it disposes the filling opening at a convenient angle for the dipping of a pen in the ink contained within the bottle. It will also be noted that the upper portion of the bottle is provided, at the base of the sloping wall 6, with a horizontal groove l1 adapted to serve as a pen receiving trough.
Having thus fully described what I now conceive to be the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that various minor changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts involved and that the body portion of the container or bottle, instead of being square or rectangular as shown in the present drawing, may be of cylindrical or any other desired shape.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:-
l. A container provided with a top wall formed by inclined front and rear surfaces of substantial length and width, said surfaces sloping upwardly and inwardly to meet in a relatively long ridge, a bail straddling the top portion of said container and having terminals slidably and pivotally formed by the sloping surfaces and a cap member rotatably carried by the bight portion of the bail so that said cap member may be swung over the ridge to a position closing a filling opening in the front surface or to a position resting flatly on the rear surface, the latter surface and the adjacent rear sides of the recesses being relatively inclined to effect wedging engagement between the cap.
mounted in side recesses lying within the angle neck surrounding a filling opening therein, a cap adapted to be screwed onto said neck to rest flatly on the front surface or to be transferred to an out-of-the-way position resting flatly on the rear surface, and means connecting the cap to the container so that it may be swung over the ridge to either of said positions, said means comprising a bail straddling the container and having its bight portion rotatably embracing the cap, the side arms of the bail terminating in pivot portions slidably and rotatably mounted in recesses lying within the angle formed by the sloping surfaces, the shape and location of the recesses being such as to wedge the cap snugly against the sloping rear surface when engaged therewith. 15
