1 Claim.
This invention relates to a can of that type usually used in connection with painting involving a can proper and an ingredient holding tray removably supported therein.
It is an object of this invention to improve this type of can, especially in the manner of supporting the tray, whereby a simpler and more economical structure is obtained, and in the provision of a cover that can be readily removed.
The invention comprises the novel structure and combination of parts hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out and deflned in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates a preferred form of this invention and in which similar reference numerals refer to similar features in the different views:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the can involving this invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional View through the can.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional detail view illustrating the nesting relation of the parts.
In the drawing, there is shown a can embodying one form of this invention that may be considered merely illustrative of the preferred structure. The illustrated can embodies a cylindrical metal container I having its upper edge formed with an exterior depending flange 2 that forms a support and anchoring means for an interior annulus 3 that supports the tray 4 and cover 5.
The annulus 3 has its upper portion crimped over and around the depending flange 2 of the container to provide an interlocking bead 6. The annulus 3 is thus securely fastened in position. The annulus 3 has a wall portion I that nests closely within the container and a horizontal portion 8 that terminates in a downwardly directed annular groove 9. The inner wall I of the groove 9 extends above the plane of the horizontal portion 8 and terminates in an inwardly directed bead II.
The tray 4, which flts loosely within the opening provided by the bead II, has its upper portion curved outwardly, as indicated at I 2, to provide a flange or lip for supporting engagement with the bead II through the interposition of a thin, resilient or flexible gasket I3. The gasket I3, preferably, is formed of plastic material, such as rubber or a rubber compound, and conforms to the curvature of the flange I 2, to which it may be attached, as by vulcanizing. The gasket I3 forms a seal with the bead II and (Cl. 220--20l with the inner wall of the U-shaped depression I4 formed in the cover 5 for frictional nesting re- I lation in the groove 9. The cover has a flange 5a that extends parallel to the horizontal portion 8 of the annulus, providing sufllcient clearance 5 therebetween for the insertion of a prying tool or the like for removing the cover.
The weight of the tray will tend to deform the gasket I3 against the Wall of the cover 5 and form an efficient seal against the leakage of the 10 ingredient in the tray.
From the foregoing, it will be obvious that there has been a simplification of this type of can structure over those heretofore used. In the can of my invention, provision is made for effectively l5 sealing the tray to the can body against the escape of material without necessitating two friction fits.. The tray 4 of my invention may be simply lifted out, after the removal of the cover, without a second prying operation, such as is generally necessary. It will also be appreciated that the simplification of the structure reduces the amount of material heretofore used and results in economy of manufacture.
An added advantage of my form of construction is that the can may be used with the same cover either with or without the inner tray, since the cover has no frictional engagement with any part of the tray but nests directly in the groove formed in the annulus secured to the body portion of the can. The same can and cover thus serve two purposes, thereby eliminating the necessity of carrying two types of cans in stock.
I claim as my invention:
In a can of the class described, a body portion, an inwardly extending annulus attached to the upper edge of said body portion and having means including opposed walls defining a groove with the free edge of the inner wall of said groove terminating in a bead, an inner tray of substantial depth and cubical capacity having an upstanding wall terminating at its. upper end in a curved flange, a gasket engaging the lower face of said flange and extending beyond the free edge of said flange, said tray being supported on said bead with said gasket interposed between said bead and said flange and with said upstandu ing wall in spaced relation to said bead, and a cover having a depressed portion frictionally engaged in said groove and having a portion seated on said flange and in sealing engagement with said gasket.
