Oct. 16, 1951 J. HENCHERT POCKET CONTAINER FOR PIPE TOBACCO Filed April 11, 1949 MW G m, Jami/ 17 a 5 Eye.
Patented Oct. 16, 1951 POCKET CONTAINER FOR PIPE TOBACCO John? I Ienchert, Chicago, Ill., assignor to Con- 'tinental Can Company, Inc., New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York- 1 Application April 11, 1949, Serial No. 86,682
" '1' Claim. (01. 220-41) The invention relates to new and useful improvements in a metal container for pipe tobacco which is especially adapted for pocket use. In this type of container, the body has parallel walls which are joined by semi-circular end walls. The closure has a central depression fitting within the container body and a depending peripheral flange forming an annular channel adapted to receive the upper end portion of the body.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple form of hinge for joining the closure to the body wherein one hinge part is formed from an integral part of the body blank, and the other hinge part is formed from an integral part of the closure blank.
A further object of the invention is to provide a hinge of the above type including a pintle and a strap wherein the pintle is an integral part of the closure and the strap is an integral part of the body and passes through a slot in the peripheral flange of the closure and extends about the pintle.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the improved container with the cover turned to open position;
Figure 2 is a rear side view of the container with the cover in closed position;
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3, 3 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4, 4 of Figure 2;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a portion of the closure showing the bead on the periphery thereof and the manner of forming the pintle of the hinge structure; and
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the body and showing the manner of forming the strap which is to encircle the pintle on the closure member.
The improved pocket container includes a body portion having flat side walls I, I, which are joined by semi-circular end Walls 2, 2. The body is made from a single blank which is bent to shape and the edges of the blank are joined by a side seam indicated at 3. The body wall at the upper end thereof is bent outwardly thence.
2 wall 6 and the inner face of the body wall of the container.
The closure member also has a peripheral flange I which is spaced from the vertical wall 6. At one flat side of the closure this flange I is rolled inwardly and upwardly to form a closed bead 8, which gradually merges with the peripheral flange 'l which extends around the remainder of the closure.
At two locations along the beaded portion of the closure, the closure is slit along lines Ill-40, and along line ll, between the slits Ill-I0. The portions which are slit are rolled about the bead 8, as indicated at! 2, in Figure 5, to form two circular pintles which are integral with the closure and are of larger diameter than the closed bead 8.
The depending flange 1 extends around the front and side walls of the closure and this flange is spaced from the vertical wall 6 so as to provide an annular channel which receives the upper end portion of the body as indicated in Figure 3.
There are two hinges for joining the closure to the body of the container. These are indicated as a whole at 9, 9. These hinges are similar in construction and the description of one will answer for the other.
The other part of the hinge is in the form of a hinge strap l3. The outwardly turned portion 4 of the body wall is out along the lines [4, l4, and from the cut out portion the integral strap I3 is formed. This strap extends up through the opening between the portion 12 and the vertical wall 6 of the closure and then it extends over and around the pintle l2. This joins the closure to the body of the container. When the cover is raised it is the integral pintle carried thereby that turns in the hinge strap.
From the above it will be noted. that a very simple form of hinge structure is produced which includes a pintle integral with the blank forming the closure and a strap integral with the body. When the closure is cut and the cut out portion rolled around the closed bead at the lower edge of the flange of the closure, this forms a very strong and durable pintle around which the hinge strap is placed. This enlarged pintle provides a hinge structure wherein the parts readily turn one on the other and it also provides a pintle which can be formed as an integral part of the closure structure.
It is obvious that minor changes in the details of construction can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claim.
I claim:
A metal container comprising a body having fiat side walls joined by semi-circular end walls, the upper end portion of the body being turned outwardly and downwardly flat against the body wall, a closure having a central depression fitting within said body and a peripheral flange extending downpovergthe' body wall Whelfl '-ll'l;;(flOSdj;p0Sition, saidfiange'at'one of the side walls having an inwardly rolled bead at its lower edge and hinges for connecting said closure to said body, each hinge including a pintle formedrfromxa portion of the bead and the flange cut above the head, the cut portion of the flange' -being rolled around the bead to provide the-*pintle anda=slot =15 in the flange, and a hinge strap formed from the outwardly turned portion ofgthe body wall extending through the slot and around the pintle 4 for connecting the closure to the body so that the axis of the hinge will lie adjacent the upper edge of the body portion.
