Description
- UNITED STATES PETER BROWN, OF BROOKLYN, NEV YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN PAINT-CANS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 26,248, dated November 29, 1559.
To all whom it muy concern.-
Be it known that I, PETER BROWN, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Paint-Can; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe salue, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming al part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a side elevation ofthis invention, and Fig. 2 is avertical central sec tion of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the construction of the joint.
Similar letters in both views indicate corresponding parts.
To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
The body A of the can is constructed with a semicircular projection or bead, a, near to its top edge, which serves to strengthen the can against any side pressure, and which is at such a distance from the top edge of the body A of the can that the cover B, when the same is on, comes down close to the upper side of this projection or bead. Vithin the bead a wire is placed, which gives strength to the sides of the can, preventing them from collapsing. The tin cans usually employed are liable to collapse when held by a bail, owing to the great weight of the paint; but by the use of the wire within the bead the walls of the can are strengthened so that they cannot collapse. No paintcan thus made, nor any other covered vessel, has ever beenmade having a wire secured within a bead near and below the mouth, as shown by me, so far as I am aware. Secured to this bead, and on opposite sides of the can, are two or more strips of sheet metal, C, which, when the can is iilled and the cover is` on, are turned over the edge of the same, retaining the same perfectly secure, so that it needs no solder to fasten the cover, and that when the contents of the can are to be used the cover can readily be taken off, nothing being necessary to accomplish this but to turn up these strips. l
It will be observed that the strips C are secured by the same pivots, c, which hold the lugs I) to the can, the strips C turning upon said pivots, so that on opening the can the strips may be turned down out of the way.
rIhe can is provided with a handle, D, which is secured to lugs b, and said lugs are secured to the bead ce by means of pivots c, so that when the can is to be packed in a case with a number of other similar cans or with other articles these lugs assume an inclined position, allowing thek handle to turn down close to the side of the can, as clearly represented in Fig. l. When the can is carried from place to place, the handle arranges itself as represented in Fig. 2, bringing the lugs b back into their usual upright position. f
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new in the construction of paint-cans and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The employment of a strengthening-wire within the bead a, as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
2. The combination of the pivoted ears C with the cover B, lug b, and can A, as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
PETER BRO\VN.
