Patented June 11, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,203,911 SANITARY can covna Thomas M. Kratty, Sandusky, Ohio Application January 15, 1938, Serial No. 185,222
1 Claim.
This invention relates to a container designed for use in supporting cans containing milk or similar liquids that are dispensed directly from the cans in which they are packaged.
An important object of the invention is to provide a container of this character into which a can containing the liquid to be dispensed, is held, the container being of a construction to grip the can, holding the can against movement with respect to the container.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a cover for the container which, when .positioned, will protect the contents of the can against foreign matter finding its way into the contents of the can held within the container.
A still further object of the invention is to.
provide means on the cover for piercing the top of the can, so that the contents of the can may be poured therefrom.
Still another important object of the invention is to provide means for guiding the cover to its proper position on the container so that the piercing members of the cover, will be readily positioned in the openings of the top of the can, freeing the openings of material which may congeal to clog the openings.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description preceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein described, may be made within the scope of what-ls claimed,
without departing from the spirit of the invenerence character 5, is substantially cylindrical in formation, and is provided with an inwardly extended annular flange B that provides a support for the can which is positioned within the container. As shown, the container is split longitudinally as at l, lending resiliency to the wall of the container, so that the container will firmly grip the can held within the container, preventing movement of the can with respect to the container.
Formed in the upper edge of the container, is a cut-out portion 8 which is of a construction to accommodate the extension 9, formed on the edge of the cover l0. Thus it will be seen that when the cover has been positioned, and the extension 9 has been moved into the cut-out portion 8, the cover has been properly positioned. Prongs ll extend from the inner surface of the cover l0 and are of lengths to pierce the top of the can held within the container.
cover has been removed, it is obvious that the contents of the can may be poured from either of the openings, the opposite opening acting as a vent. Due to the fact that the extension 9 will find its way into the cut-out portion 8 of the can, it is obvious that by placing the cover on the container and rotating the cover slightly, until the extension is properly located within the cut-out portion, the prongs II will enter the openings of the can top, closing the openings, and at the same time freeing the openings ofany material which may have congealed to close the openings.
I claim: A container for various sized cans, comprising a cylindrical body portion constructed of yieldable material, an inwardly extended annular flange formed at one end of the body portion, said body portion being split throughout its length to .permit the body portion to expand, the upper edge 'of the body portion being formed with a cut-out portion extending inwardly therefrom, a removable cover having an extension on the edge thereof and adapted to extend into the cut-out portion centering the cover on the body portion, and pins extending from the cover and adapted to pierce a can supported within the body portion.
