2 Claims.
The invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a dispensing container for powdered materials. It is a common practice to attach a closure end having a perforated nozzle to the body portion of a metal container by an outside skirt which makes frictional contact with the upper end of the body portion. When the can body is of general rectangular shape with rounded corners, the flat sides of the body wall often spring inwardly away from the depending skirt of the closure end with a resulting leakage of powder.
This is particularly true in containers of relatively large capacity, where the fiat side walls are of considerable width.
An object of the present invention is to provide a container of the above type with a reinforcing member which is attached to the closure end as a unit and which carries an upwardly extending member adapted to engage the inner upper edge portion of the body wall so as to prevent it from springing inwardly away from the depending skirt.
A further object of the invention is to provide a container of the above type with a fiber gasket disposed within the skirtedportion of the closure end so as to be contacted by the upper edge of the body wall which gasket is clamped to the closure end by the reinforcing member.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a top plan View of a powder dispensing container embodying the improvements;
Figure 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an enlarged section of a portion of the upper end of the body wall, the lower portion of the closure end, the reinforcing ring and the fiber gasket, and showing the arrangement of the parts when the closure end is attached to the body; and
Figure 4 is a plan view of a portion of the reinforcing ring.
The improved powder dispensing container includes a body having flat sides and rounded corners. It also includes a perforated closure end formed with a nozzle section and a skirted section which are joined by an interfolded seam. The skirt of the skirted section is shaped so as to have flat portions and rounded corners conforming to the shape of the body of the container and this skirt portion makes frictional contact with the outer upper portion of the body wall. Within the skirted portion of the closure end is a reinforcing metal member provided with a retaining part extending into the interfolded seam. This reinforcing member also has a depending portion and an upwardly extending portion which upwardly extending portion is so shaped and dimensioned as to engage the inner end of the body wall all along the flat sides thereof and thus prevent the body wall from springing away from the depending skirt. Within the skirted portion of the closure end is a fiber gasket which extends over the end of the body Wall so that the body wall will make tight sealing engagement with the gasket. This gasket is retained as a unit with the closure end. Attached to the nozzle section is a cap which. may be rotated to bring the perforations therein into alignment with the perforations in the upper closed end of the nozzle when it is desired to dispense powder.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, the dispensing container includes a body portion I which is of metal. Said body portion is beaded at 2 at a short distance beneath the upper end thereof.
There is a closure member which includes a nozzle section 3 and a skirted section 4. The nozzle section is provided with a closed end 5 having perforations E therein through which the powder may be dispensed. The skirted section 4 is joined to the nozzle by an interfolded seam 1. This skirted portion has a depending skirt 8 provided with flat sides and rounded corners conforming to the fiat sides and rounded corners of the body of the container. This depending skirt is dimensioned so that it makes frictional contact with the outer face of the body wall above the bead therein.
A reinforcing member 9 formed of metal is adapted to be secured to the interfolded seam. As shown, the reinforcing member has a retaining part Ill which extends into the interfolded seam so this retaining part is gripped and thus the reinforcing member is secured to the closure end as a unit. Thisretaining portion of the reinforcing member is circular in shape to conform to the shape of the seam joining the skirted section to the nozzle section. This reinforcing member has a depending wall II which carries an upwardly extending wall l2. These: walls II and I2 are shaped so as to conform with the flat sides of the container body. It also has rounded corners indicated at iii in Figure 4. This upstanding member I2 of the reinforcing member is curved outwardly and is dimensioned and positioned so as to engage the inner upper end portion of the body wall a short distance from the end and this is what prevents the body wall from springing inwardly away from the skirt. Furthermore, the body wall is curved inwardly at its upper end and extends over the end of the member I2 when the closure member has been applied to the container body. This aids in holding the closure member on.
A fiber gasket [4 is placed inside of the skirted section of the closure end. This gasket, extends over the end of the upwardly projecting part l2 of the reinforcing member and also extends over a,
portion of the reinforcing member adjacent the retaining part is thereof. The gasket is placed in the skirted part, then the reinforcing member is inserted and the interfolded seam is then formed so as to secure together the reinforcing member, the closure end and gasket as a unit. The upper end of the body wall may be bent. in-. wardly as indicated at I5 so as to provide a reinforcement for the upper end of the body wall where it contacts with the gasket so as to aid in the: forming of a tight. seal, preventing any escape of powder.
Attached to the, nozzle section is a. cap I25. This cap it is provided with perforations H. The depending skirt of the cap has a beaded connection 8 at its lowerend with the nozzle which holds the cap place on the nozzle and at the same time permits it to be rotated thereon. There are the usual stops for limiting the rotation of the cap so as to bring the perforations H in the cap into proper alignment with the perforations 6 in the, closed end 5 of the nozzle section.
It is obvious that minorchanges in the details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
