Claims.
.10 but it is not convenient to consume the liquids in this manner when they are put up in cans, for the reason that it is difficult for the consumer to hold the can to the mouth after an outlet has been made in the end wall thereof.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved can structure having an end wall of novel construction which will permit the contents of the can to be drunk directly therefrom after a suitable opening has been formed in the end wall, instead of having to pour out the contents into a glass for consumption.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved can having novel closure means for a dispensing opening whereby the internal pressure of the can will assist in maintaining the opening closing device in position.
The invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, with the understanding, however, that the invention is not confined to any strict conformity with the showing of the drawing but may be changed or modified so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a view in top plan of a metallic receptacle constructed with the improved form of head embodying the present invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken upon the line 2 2.of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 but showing a modification of the head formation.
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 but showing a punch out closure for the dispensing openmg.
Figure 5 illustrates the application of the punch out closure to a head of the type shown in Figure 3.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing, wherein like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,
the numeral I indicates a can or other type of metallic receptacle body-oi the type normally employed for marketing foods or liquid refreshments, the numeral 2 indicating an end wall secured in the usual manner to the end of the 5 cylindrical wall body.
The present invention contemplates the provision of an end wall for the receptacle body which is inset to an extent to permit the end of the receptacle to be put to the mouth so that, if the 10 wall has been provided,with a suitable outlet opening, the contents of the receptacle can'be drained therefrom. over the end edge directly into the mouth thus making it unnecessary to transfer the receptacle contents to a glass before 16 drinking.
The numeral 3 indicates an end wall having a portion of its area flat, as indicated at 4, while the adjacent portion curves upwardly toward the edge of the receptacle, as indicated at 5. As shown, this flattened portion is placed at such a distance from the adjacent end of the can as to permit the said end edge to be placed between the lips so that the contents of the can can be conveniently consumed and in this form of end wall it is intended that an opener of the cutting type be used for forming an outlet such as is shown in Figure 1 and indicated by the numeral 6'. Openers are now provided which may be engaged over the flange or rim I of the can and used to cut an opening directly through the adjacent end wall of the can so that the liquid contents can be poured off and after using an opener or perforating instrument of this character it will be apparent that the liquid contents of the can may be conveniently drained into the mouth.
In Figure 3, there-is illustrated a modification of the wall structure shown in Figures 1 and 2 wherein the can end wall 8 is formed straight across the can body but at a substantial distance inwardly from the end of the can. In both forms the walls are integral with flange or skirt portions 9 which extend longitudinally of the can to be crimped over the end edge thereof to form a sealing rib or flange l.
Figures 4 and 5 illustrate in association with the two types of walls shown in Figures 2 and 3 but here designated 3a and 8a respectively, discharge openings it already formed in the walls and closed by the frictionally held cap Ii which is forced thereinto. This cap I i is of the type commonly used for closing outlet openings of receptacles, having a flange i2 which prevents it being forced completely through the opening but, in the present instance, it is extended into the opening from the inside of the receptacle so that the flange will engage against the inner side of the end wall instead of the outside. It will be apparent that a frictionally held closure member of the type illustrated would not be satisfactory where the receptacles are for selling beer or any other liquid which is maintained in the re-- ceptacle under pressure but by inserting the closure cap from the inside of the receptacle the internal pressure will operate to keep the cap firmly in place and when it is desired to dispense the can contents it is only necessary to force the cap inwardly .with some suitable instrument.
From the foregoing it will be readily apparent that receptacles constructed in accordance with the present invention serve the double function of containing the merchandised liquid in the desired manner until required for use and proand in contact therewith, the edges of the flange and the canbody being sealed together, the said wall and flange forming an outwardly opening cup of substantial depth in the end of the can to receive liquid from the interior'of the can when said wall is provided with an opening therein.
2. a can having a body and a top end wall set inwardly from the end of the can body to provide an outwardly opening and a clearly-defined cup of substantial depth for drinking purposes, said wall having an opening therein formed immediately adjacent to the rim of the cup and placing the interior of the body in communication with the cup, the upper end of the opening being at no point higher than the bottom of the cup.
3. A can having a body and a top end wallset inwardly from the end of the can body to provide an outwardly opening and a clearly-defined cup of substantial depth for drinking purposes, said wall having an opening therein formed immediately adjacent to the rim of the cup and placing the interior of the body in communication with the cup.
4. A beer can having a depressed top to form a drinking cup with a drinking lip and a relatively smooth and unobstructed bottom adjacent the lip and having a bead on the outside of the drinking lip permitting an opener to pry under the lip for indenting an adjacent portion of the bottom toward the wall of the can to form a hole adjacent the drinking lip, the cup being adapted to accommodate the initial overflow caused by the release of inside pressure due to the puncturing of the can.
5. A beer (can having a depressed top to form a. drinking cup with a drinking lip and a relative smooth and unobstructed bottom adjacent the lip and having a head on the outside of the drinking lip permitting an opener to pry under "the lip for indenting an adjacent portion of the bottom toward the wall of the can to form a hole adjacent the drinking lip, the entire bottom of the cup being free to drain into the hole when the can stands in upright position;
