Attorney Patented Oct. 17, 1944 UNITED STATESPATENT OFFICE! CONTAINER Essie M. Gibson, Garvey, Calif. Application April 26, 1940, Serial No. 331,877 I 3 Claims.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in containers for cans of liquids such as milk and other products and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character embodying novel means whereby contents of cans placed therein may be conveniently dispensed in a neat, sanitary and generally satisfactory manner.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide a container of the aforementioned character embodying unique means to facilitate opening the cans by forming spaced perforations in the tops thereof and further including means for closing the perforations thereby protecting and preserving the contents remaining in the cans.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a dispensing container of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong,- durable, highly efficient and reliable in use, compact, light in weight, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will becomev apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of an embodiment of the device.
Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary view in vertical section, taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary view in horizontal section, taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
Figure 5 is a view in side elevation of another form of the device.
Figure 6 is a top plan view of the modification shown in Fig. 5.
Figure 7 is a vertical sectional view through the upper portion of the modification, taken substantially on the line 1-1 of Fig. 6.
Figure 8 is a top plan view, showing another modification.
the reception of nates generally a substantially cylindrical recep tacle of suitable material. The receptacle I ,in- .cludes com'plemental upper and lower sections 2 and 3, respectively, which are detachably secured together through the medium of pressed. interrupted threads 4.. The receptacle 1 is adapted to receive a can 5 containing milk or any other liquid or suitable product. Rigidly secured on the upper portion of the section 2 of the receptacle I is an outwardly and downwardly projecting handle 6.
The top 1 of the upper section 2 is formed to provide a dome 8.having circumferential slots 9 in diametrically opposite sides thereof. It will be observed that the lower walls of the slots 9 extend in the plane of the top I.
Adjacent the slots 9, the top I has formed therein openings III. A sealing gasket II is provided in the upper portion of the receptacle section 2 for engagement iththe top of the can 5. The openings. I0 extend through the gasket ll. i Journaled on a pivot I2 which depends from the dome 8 is a swinging bar 13. The bar 13 is operable in the slots 9 and the end portions thereof 'are adapted to close the openings In. A spring 14 in the dome 8 is connected to the bar I3. for yieldingly maintaining said bar in Figure 9 is a, vertical sectional view through the I modification illustrated in Fig. 8, taken sub-stantially on the line 9-9 of said Fig. 8.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, and to Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, thereof in particular, it
operative position over the opening Ill. A thumb piece I5 is provided on the end portion of the closure bar H! which is adjacent the handle 6 for swinging said bar to open position against the tension of the spring l4.
It is thought that the manner of using the device will be readily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, the can 5 is placed in the lowersection 3 of the receptacle I and the upper section 2 is then turned, thereon. Thus, the can 5 is completely enclosed and concealed. To open the can 5, the closure bar 13 is swung to the position suggested in broken lines in Fig. 2 0f, the drawings for exposing the openings ID. A suitable punch is then inserted in the openings .IO and driven through the top of the can 5. When the bar "his released said bar is immediately returned to closed position by the spring H. To dispense the contents of the can 5 the device is lifted through the medium of the handle 6 and the bar I3 is swung to open position. The contents of the can 5 may then be poured through the opening H! which is remote from the handle 6. During thls operation the opening In which is adjacent the handle 6 functions as a vent.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs.
concavo-convex closure member the opening 10. an internal flange slidabie on the top 1. Mounted in the closure disk I1 is a depending headed guide pin I9 which is operable in the slot IS. A spring 20 is connected to the member l9 for yieidingly securing the closure disk H in closed position.
Projecting from the upper receptacle section 2 modate a punch 24.
When using the form of the invention shown in against the tension of the spring traveling in the slot l6. Thus,
Referring now to the modification illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9 of the drawings, it will be seen that sition.
In the operation of the embodiment shown in Figs. 8 and 9 the slidable bar 25 is retracted against the tension of the spring 29 thereby unthe peripheries of said dome and top, and a closure member pivoted beneath said dome and operable in said slots for closing said openings.
3. A container of the character described and comprising a receptacle adapted to receive and enclose a can of liquid, said receptacle including for said member to pass through.
