1 Claim.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in lid fasteners for receptacles of various kinds.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a lid fastener which can be readily fastened or unfastened to permit snug application or removal of the corresponding lid.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.
In the drawing:
Figure '1 represents a vertical sectional view through a can and lid with the fastening means applied.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of a can and lid, with the fastening means applied.
Figure 4 is a side elevational view of the special lid.
Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 denotes a can having a special type lid 6. This lid 6 consists of a top a and a depending skirt b oversize with respect to the can 5. The top a has a handle 1.
Numeral 8 generally refers to the fastening means which consists of an elongated spring strap 9 having its intermediate portion riveted or otherwise secured as at H] to the inner side of the skirt 1). At a diametrically opposite point from the rivet In, the skirt 1) is formed with a pair of substantially rectangular shaped openings lll2, portions being bent inwardly to define guides l3 and M for the endportions of the strap 9.
The fastener consists further in the provision of a rectangular-shaped link I5. One end of the strap 9 has a barrel I6 which receives one end of the link IS. The other end of the strap 9 has a hook H. An elongated lever l8 being substantially arcuate to follow the curvature of the skirt b and having an ofiset end portion l9, has one end formed to provide a barrel 20 receiving the remaining end of the link l5 and on which end portion of the link, the lever is fulcrumed. From this barrel 20 extends a foot portion 2| which is engageable in the hook ll of the strap 9. When the lever 18 is released, the hook I! will engage one edge of the opening II and the strap 9 will be slackened sufiicient' to permit ready removal of the lid 6 from the can 5.
To secure the lid in place, the foot 2| is engaged with the hook I! and the lever l8 swung so that the link I5 is carried over the hook I! and the lever l8 broughtv to bear against the side of the skirt 6.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the claimed as new is:
In combination with a receptacle, a lid having a skirt fitting over the open end of the receptacle, an elongated spring strap having an intermediate portion secured to the insideof th skirt and said skirt having a pair of spaced openings therein arranged substantially opposite the point of fastening of the strap to the skirt, an openwork link having one end pivotally connected to one end of the strap and said end of the strap passing through one opening, a hook on the other end of the strap passing through the other opening with said hook engaging an edge wall of said other opening when the strap is expanded, a lever pivoted intermediate its ends to the opposite end of the link with the inner end of the lever being straight for engaging the hook of the strap and the other portion of the lever forming a handle, said lever being of arcuate shape to conform to the curvature of the skirt when in holding position with the straight inner end engaging the hook of the strap and contracting the strap about the receptacle.
