This invention relates to containers and particularly to an improved fiber container and closure therefonan object of the invention being to provide an eficient closure structure which will remain'closed until positively opened and which will maintain the container air-tight, water-tight and grease-tight at all times.
Another object of the invention is to provide a container having a removable closure including a readily expansible and contractible ring or rim in connection with the closure head and resilient means for taking care of expansion and contraction while the rim or ring is holding the closure in its functioning position. I
An additional object is to provide a containe with a closure structure formed with a wooden head, or other head which may expand and contract with variations in moisture or temperature, and means for compensating for the expansion and contraction of the head.
A further object, more specifically, is to provide a head for a fiber or other container formed of wood or similar material, with a resilient band arranged on the periphery of the head and acting to maintain an air-tight connection with the container notwithstanding any expansion and contraction of the head.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, l indicates a container whichmay be made of, fiber, as for instance, a number of fiber sheets secured together by adhesive. This container may have any suitable bottom and at the top is provided with an annular exterior groove 2 pressed therein which results in an annular bead 3 interiorly thereof, having a shoulder 4, and coacting with the body I is a head or closure 5 which may be of wood, fiber, a composition of matter, or other desired material. Usually wood is used for the closure of fiber containers for various reasons and in the present instance the head 5 is provided with a flange 6 which overlaps the top edge 1 of the body I. It is, however, to be understood that the invention could be applied to a head formed without the flange .6.
The annular section I of the container l is adapted to press against a lining member 8 which is preferably preformed from a disk 8' into the shape shown in Fig. 3 and is then placed in position as shown in Fig. 3. The head 5 is provided with a rather shallow annular groove 9 which accommodates an elastic compensating member I0. This member may be an ordinary annular band or may be L-shaped as shown in Fig. 3. This band may be of various kinds of elastic material, as for instance rubber or elastic amorfous material.
Coacting with the parts just described there is provided a constricting and clamping ring II which may be made of suitable material, as for instance metal, and which is provided with an inwardly extending flange i2, a body I3, and an inturned hook portion l4 extending into the groove 2. A suitable constricting and locking structure I5 is provided for moving the ring H into its fully functioning position. as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. This constricting and clamping structure includes a lever l6 having a hook portion ll adapted to be moved through the loop 18 pressed from the material of the ring ll near one end. The exterior end portion 43 of hook I! is flared outwardly slightly so that after it is of the inventoin to that shown in Figs. 5 and 6; forced through loop l8 itwill be swung outwardly slightly, as indicated in. Fig, 3, and thereby prevent lever l6 from accidentally swinging to an open position. It will be observed from Fig. 1 that the lever I6 is pivotally mounted at 20 to the ring or band II at one end and intermediate its length at 2| to the opposite end of the ring or band II. By this arrangement when the lever I 6 is swung over to the position shown in Fig. 2 the ring is appreciably constricted and moved downwardly at its free ends until the parts are overlapped and are positioned as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. This arrangement and action of the parts will cause a proper clamping action and also a constriction of the portion I whereby it will pinch the head 5 and make a good airtight connection. Where wood or similar material is used the same will expand and contract under various changing weather conditions. If the parts were arranged as just described without the use of the elastic member ID, thisexpansion and contraction of the parts would occasionally cause a leakage. To overcome this leakage the elastic member 10 is used and is very much compressed when the ring II is brought to its fully functioning position, as shown in Fig. 2. If the head 5 should contract the elastic member or ring I would expand and thereby maintain the airtight condition of the respective parts. As a matter of fact, as the parts expand and contract elasticity of member ID is such that it compensates for this expansion and contraction and thereby always maintains the parts in the proper airtight condition without in any way interfering with the unlocking of the lever l6 and remo.val of the ring and head.
In Fig, a slightly modified structure to that shown in Fig, 3 is disclosed whereby the elastic member l0 extends at an appreciable distance into the head 5. By reason of this construction the elasticity of member Ill need not be great as the comparatively thin elastic member l0 and yet ample elasticity will be provided to compensate for the expansion and contraction of the parts.
In Fig. 6 a further modified structure is shown wherein the elastic ring or member It" is em bedded in a suitable groove in the section I This. elastic member performs the same function as the elastic members I0 and Ill. It will, therefore, be seen that there is presented some form of elastic means between thehead and the container so as to compensate continuously for the expansion and contraction of the respective parts and thereby maintain an airtight condition.
Quite often dry powders which are highly hydroscopic are shipped in containers of the present invention and in order to prevent the passage of air into and from the interior of the container it is essential that the head be maintained airtight at all times. The body I of the container is laminated fiber and between the laminations adhesive is arranged which makes the body airtight at all times. If desired, an extra lining of air-tight material could be applied to the interior of the container and the head 5 without departing from-the spirit of the invention. Also it .will be understood that any suitable'material may be used as the elastic bands or rings. Rubber has proved to be very satisfactory. Mineral products could also be used where they are sufficiently elastic to accomplish the desired purpose and, in fact, any amorfous material is suitable where sufiicient elasticity is presented. Where material is used in which the elasticity is relatively small, there is provided a deep annular groove in the head 5, as shown in Fig, 5, but
where the material used is of greater elasticity then a more shallow groove would be satisfactory either in the head or in the part 1'.
In Figs. 7 to 9, inclusive, various arrangements of cushioning elastic members are provided which are modified structures to that shown in Fig. 3.
In Fig. 7 there is presented a solid top 22 which may be made in any desired way and which is provided with a telescoping member 23. An L- shaped elastic member 24 is arranged between the body 25 and the head 22. The strip 26 may be fabric and held inplace by adhesive. Also, if desired, a clamping ring, as shown at the top of Fig. 1, may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention. Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. '7, but the head 21 has a recess 28 and the elastic member 29 is only interior of the body 25 instead of interior and across the top. Fig. 9 is identical with Fig. 8 except that the elastic member 30 is arranged exteriorly of the body 25 of the container.
In Fig. 10 a U-shaped elastic member 3| is provided and the head 25' extends over and rests on the upper part of the elastic member 3|. In this form of the invention a covering sheet 32 is provided and an L-shaped member 33. These members are held together and to the head 25' by suitable stitching 34. 1
In Fig". 11 the body '1' is constructed the same as shown in Fig.2, but the elastic member 35 has a fiat surface resting against the body I and a corrugated surface 36 facing inwardly so pressed and some of the body of the elastic member. The parts are preferably so proportioned that the compression when the ring II is first applied will be approximately half of the allowable compression. This will permit a ready contraction and expansion of the head without permitting the passage of air.
Fig. 12 is the same as Fig. 11 except that the elastic member 31 is merely a narrow rubber strip held in place by cement or other suitable means.
In Fig. 13 the head 5 is provided with a narrow elastic band 38 held in place by cement or other wise. In Fig. 14, the same general idea is provided except that the elastic member 39 is half the full width of that part of the head 5 which fits within the container.
