SH EET-M ETAL CAN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,499, dated March 16, 1880.
Application filed September 25, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCIS A. WALSH, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful In]- provements in Sheet-Metal Cans; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a vertical section, in de tail, of a sheet-metal can embodying my invention; and Fig. 2 represents a vertical elevation of the completed can, partly in section.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts.
My invention relates to that class of sheetmetal cans employed for packing and transporting liquid paints; and my invention consists in the construction and combination of the several parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, A represents the body of the can, which may be made of any suitable material, the upper edge of which is bent outward so as to form a lateral flange, e.
B represents a disk or diaphragm of thin or soft sheet metal, preferably of taggers iron, the circumference of which is equal to or slightly greater than the flange e of. the body of the can, and which, may have a depression or countersink formed therein by stamping or otherwise, corresponding to the inner circumference of the body of the can, so that its flange cl shall rest upon the flange e and close the opening into the body of the can.
G represents an annular ring stamped from sheet metal, having an upward-turned burr or collar, 12, and a downward-turned burr, f, and annular channels 0 and i, of which 0 is sufficientlylarge to admit the flange d of the disk or diaphragmB therein.
D represents an ordinary removable cover, the burr of which fits tightly over the collar 7) of the opening of the primary cover or annular ring 0.
On the right of A, Fig. 1, the different parts of the cover B O D are placed together as adapted to each other, forming a complete cover of the can, and now ready for seaming or uniting to the body of the can. At'g, Fig. 2, the dilferentparts d c f are shown united or seamed together.
The method of usin g my can is as follows, viz: Having filled the can with the desired material, the secondary cover or diaphragm Bis placed over the opening. Over said diaphragm B is then placed the primary cover or annular ring 0, and the two together are united with the body of the can, preferably by using the machine for which Letters Patent were granted to me in the United States, October 16, 1877, and numbered 196,276.
When it is desired to use the contents of the can the cover D is removed and the diaphragm B cut out closely against the collar 1), through which the paint or contents of the can may be used from time to time, as desired, the cover D forming an almost air-tight joint, and thereby protecting the contents of the can from contact with the atmosphere.
When desired, the diaphragm B may be constructed from paper or cloth.
After the paint or other contents of the can have been used by the consumer the can may be used as a fruit-can, or for similar purposes, by replacing the cover D and sealing the joint by pouring sealing-wax into the channel 41.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination, with the body A, provided with the flange e,,annular ring G, extending beyond the outer circumference of the body A, and provided with the burrs b and f, and removable cover D, of the diaphragm B, extending to or beyond the outer circumference of the body A, and all unite-d together without the use of solder, substantially as shown and described.
FRANCIS A. WALSH.
