Patented Feb. 10,1953 g UNITEDY STATES PATENT OFIFICEQj'fv SANITARY CONTAINER Katherinel Dorner, Philadelphia, Pa.
Application November 3, 1950, Serial No. 193,929
My invention relates to a container and relates particularly to a container for garbage or trash constructed in such a manner that the cover cannot be lost, stolen, or inadvertently removed by animals or children, nor can it be misplaced by accident or carelessness.
Containers for garbage and trash have been made and used but these containers were provided with a cover which was easily lost and misplaced, or which could be removed easily by mischievous children and used as an article of play. Animals could also remove the cover to gain egress to the contents within the container permitting the offensive odor of the garbage or trash to pollute the air. The animals as well generally scattered the contents about causing unsanitary conditions. In addition, the prior art containers had the disadvantage of being useless when the cover had been accidentally lost, misplaced, or stolen, necessitating the purchase of a new container, or if used permitting access to the contents of the container to insects and rodents and resulting in unsanitary conditions and offensive odor in the vicinity of the container.
It, therefore, is an object of my invention to provide a garbage or trash container having a cover slideably and permanently attached to the container carrying bail, thereby preventing the loss, stealing, or inadvertent misplacing of the cover.
Another object of my invention is to provide a garbage or trash container, wherein the cover cannot-be separated from the container by mischievous children wishing to utilize it as a toy.
Another object of my invention is to provide a garbage or trash container wherein the cover cannot be removed by a stray animal such as a dog or cat and lost as well as preventing the egress of stray animals to the contents of said container.
Other objects of my invention are to provide a garbage or trash container which is easily and economically produced, which is sturdy in construction, and which is highly effective in use.
With the above and related objects in view my invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a garbage or trash container embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a front plan view of the garbage or trash container illustrating the manner in which 2'o1aims. 01. 226-38) 2 Y vthe cover slides up on the container carryingbail. Fig. 3 is a side plan view of my garbage or trash container showing the cover locked to the top of the carrying bail and to one sidefor emptying the container.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary bottom plan View of the construction of the cover guide and holder.
Referring now in greater detail to the drawing wherein similar reference characters refer to similar parts,-I show a garbage or trash container, generally designated as A, having a cover,` Vgenerally designated as B, to seal the container- A against animals and to prevent thevoffen'sive'odor of any garbage or trash deposited therein from polluting the air. The cover B is slideably and permanently fastened to the container carrying bail, generally designated as C, by means off the cover guide and holder, generally designated as D. A cover lock, generally designated as E, is provided to lock the cover B to the top of the carrying bail C when placing garbage or trash into, or when emptying the container A.
The container A is made of a suitable metal such as a heavy gauge galvanized steel or iron, and it may be corrugated for added strength. The container may be of any size or configuration but the container illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 has a circular bottom I0 to which is attached a substantially perpendicular, continuous wall I2 to confine any garbage or trash which may be deposited on the bottom IB. The continuous wall I 2 is attached to the outermost circumference of the bottom IIJ in any suitable manner.
The cover B may be made of any suitable material, but I prefer that it be made of the same material as the container A. The cover B consists of a circular top I4 which is slightly larger in size than the bottom I9 of the container A. A short continuous wall I6 is attached to the top I4, or may be made integral with, the cover B to closely embrace the wall I2 of the container A when the top I4 is in contact with the upper portion of the wall I2 of the container A. A handle I5 for lifting the cover B from the container A is provided. The handle I5 is fastened to the cover in any suitable manner but in line with the top of the container carrying bail C so that the cover lock E, which will be hereinafter described, will engage the top of the bail C.
The bail C is substantially U-shaped and is provided with an eye I8 at the end of each leg of the U-shaped bail C. Each eye I8 is made partly open so it can be passed through a bore 20 in the leg 22 of a substantially T-shaped bracket 24. A bracket 24 being attached to each side of the container A in any suitable manner. However the brackets 24 must lie in the same plane and on a common diameter through a cross-section of the container. The eyes I8 are closed over the legs 22 after the eyes are passed through the legs 22, thus securing the bail C to the container in a pivotal manner. The bail C may be of heavy galvanized wire or formed of a suitable rod of metal which will not rust or corrode.
The cover guides vand holdersD are made of a suitable heavy piece of steel or other metal. The cover guides D are provided with a generally U-shaped portion 26 to pass over .the sides of the bail C and with bent overportions 28A and 28B integrally formed with the legs of -the U-shaped portion 26. The guides D-arefastened securely to the cover B in any suitable manner in line with the handle l attached to the top I4 of the cover B, thereby retaining the cover `B z in i slideable, yet permanent engagement -With ithefcontainer carrying bail C.
,fI'he'cover'lockE maybe formed integral with,
@or attached tothe handle I5 and consists of a pair of opposed spring -clips'S extending the lengthof the handle -I5. The spring clips 30 are provided 'with -a ,curved-portion 30Ato closely embraceandfgrasp the top portion of the Ybail -C tolock --t-he -cover ltfto the bail Cso itmay berheldiaway Vfromethe -container A easily when depositing garbage or trash in the container A,
or to'holdthecoverB in a locked position when it is -swung to ione side to permit emptying Vof the-container. The spring clips l3i) are provided 4:with .extended portions 32 which are curvilinearly bent topresent 1a smooth outerA surface tothe hand when lifting the cover B by the handle .15.
larticle deposited on said bottom, a substantially U-shaped carrying bail pivotally attached to said continuous wall, a cover of the same configuration as `said bottom having a short continuous wall attached to its outer periphery to closely embrace said rst named continuous wall, said cover rbeing slidably secured to said bail, and an elongated handle secured to the top of the cover with its longitudinal axis in the plane of the bail, the sides of the handle having integral upwardly extending spaced spring clips engaging vthe bail and supporting the cover when the cover iis in open position.
2. The device of claim l wherein each of said spring clips is provided with a rolled portion. whereby a hand grip is formed.
