Falls Corporation, of New York Y., assignor to Oswego Fulton, N. 2., a corporation Application May 9, 1940, Serial No. 334,234
1 Claim.
This invention relates to a package or container for granular materials such as salt, powdered soap, granulated cheese, etc.
The invention has as an object a package of the type referred to embodying a particularly economical construction which permits the package to be conveniently filled and closed in sift tight relation, and whereby the package is conveniently opened by the user and when open constitutes a shaker top package which may be used for the convenient dispensing of the contents of the package in shaker fashion. It is desirable to serve certain granular products in shaker top containers for the convenience of users, such for example as granulated cheese to the customers in a restaurant. At the present time, it is customary to ship the cheese in a separate package such as a conventionaI cardboard box or carton. This necessitates the proprietor of the restaurant removing the cheese from the carton and placing the same in some form of shaker top container for use by the patrons of the restaurant.
An important feature of my invention is a low cost package formed of fibrous material such as paper-board and embodying a construction as above referred to, whereby the package or container, in which the material is shipped, itself later serves as a shaker top container, the cost of the package being such as to permit the container to be disposed of when empty without reuse. Accordingly, the restaurant proprietor does not have to modify the package or fill the same, and the granulated product is used by the consumer in the condition in which it was originally packaged.
The invention has as a further object a shaker top package provided with a closure member which is conveniently applied and removed from the container and which may accordingly be employed as a closure member for the container until the contents thereof has been completely dispensed.
The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawing in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a package embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the package in inverted form with the top closure removed.
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view of the container, as shown in Figure 1.
The package consists of a tubular body memeter than the bottom.
The body I0 is provided with a suitable bottom closure ll consisting of a discoidal member formed of paper-board and having a depending annular flange arranged within the lower end of the body and with the end of the body folded over the fiange and suitably crimped as at M. A cylindrical member I5, formed of sheet metal, is arranged in the upper end of the body, and the upper edge of the member I5 is formed with an inverted channel l6 positioned on the top edge of the body and crimped thereto. The lower or inner end of the cylindrical member is formed with an-inwardly extending annular flange IT.
The container is filled by passing the contents through the opening in the cylindrical member l5, after which a perforated disk 18 of thin sheet metallic material is pressed into the cylindrical member l5 and positioned upon the flange H. The disk 3 is initially formed slightly larger in diameter than the internal diameter of the cylindrical member, whereby the peripheral edge of the disk frictionally engages the cylindrical member. The package is completed by a cover member having a discoidal portion l9 overlying the perforated disk, and an upstandin annular flange terminating in an inverted channel 28 which frictionally engages the channel I6 of the cylindrical member. Preferably a reinforcing disk 22 is inserted within the cover member.
The cover member acts as a closure extending across the perforated disk and seals the pack in sift tight relation, whereby the material may be shipped in the package without sifting therefrom. Upon removal of the slip cover, the container constitutes a shaker top package from which the granular contents may be dispensed a from a conventional salt shaker. If desired, the cover member may be left on the package and removed during each dispensation of the contents.
What I claim. is:
A shaker top package for granular material comprising a tubular body of fibrous material, a bottom member secured in one end of the body, a cylindrical metallic member arranged in the top 2 2,aa2,7es
end 01 the body, the inner end oi said member being formed with an inwardly extending annular flange, and the outer end with an inverted channel overlying the top edge of the body and being crimped into engagement therewith, a thin, periorated metallic disk positioned on the flange of said cylindrical member and trictionally retained within the same. and a cover member formed with an inverted channel frictionally engaging the channel of said cylindrical member and having a depressed discoidal portion acting as a closure for 5 the perforations of said disk.
