UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM F. G. QUEHL, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
FRUIT-CAN.
To all whom it may concern: 1
Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. G. QUEHL, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Fruit-Cans, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in tin cans or receptacles specially adapted to contain, preserve, and pack fruits or other 0011- tents that require to be kept hermetically sealed.
My objects are to provide a hermeticallysealed can and achieve a saving in time, 1abor, and expense in the manufacture of the said cans. I attainthe'se objects by the mechanism illustrated in the acccompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view, showing the cover sealed to the top of the can-body, also the finger-ring as being located near the edge or circumference of the cover. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the can and cover, the latter being shown uplifted or raised out of the can.
, Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the cover and can body united, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail section to better show my 1mproved means and manner to hermetically secure the cover to can.
Similar letters of reference apply throughout the several views to the like parts.
A is the can-body, which can be straight, as shown, or made tapering.
B is the cover to close the can. At a, near the top of the eanbody, I form the annular bearing upon which the cover is supported and retained in place to properly close the can. This bearing a is simply an annular groove. The groove-face thereof is, however, arranged to be on the outside of the canbody, so that the internal projection of the said groove forms the annular bearing a, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 4. Above the annular bearing a, the inside of the can-body is provided with an additional annular groove or head, I); but this has its groove-face inside the can-body, so that the upper face or wall, 1/, of the said annular groove constitutes a shoulder against which the sealing-wax i111- pinges and can be retained in the said groove, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The different arrangement of the respective grooves a b to be notedis that the groove of the head I) is inside the can-body to present a bearing to retain the wax, while the groove a is inserted to form the internal bearing upon which the 264,102, dated September 12,1882,
cover rests. (See Figs. 3 and 4..) The cover B, I form to have the top circumferential slope or taper at 11 which, together with the upper portion ofthecan-body, forms a gutter or channel, N, for the sealing wax. Further, the cover 13 has at b a vertical edge, which fits nicely between the two grooves a b when the cover is seated upon its hearing or made to close the can-top. (See Figs. 3 and 4..) The upper extremity of the can-body has its edge 0 turned down or made the' usual wire-bead edge, as shown in Figs. 3, 4.
D is the finger-ring. Instead of locating the finger-ring, as ordinarily done, in the center of the cover,- I secure the said ring to one side or at the circumferential edge of the cover, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The operator, by taking hold of the finger-ring, can therefore the more readily open the cover, and at the same time easily break the wax and draw the cover out of the can.
E represents the sealing-wax, or the like material employed to hermetically seal cans of this class.
The closed joint of the can is made by first inserting the cover B properly in its place or on the bearing a. of the can. The sealing-wax is next applied in the gutter or channel, and in filling same also fills up the head I) and effectually seals the joint between the vertical edge ofthe coverBandcan-body. The groove 1) prevents the collection of any acid or moisture, and the wax can therefore be more readily applied to the dry surface. My improvements are simple and cheap to manufacture, and constitute a durable as well as efl'ective air-tight joint for cans or receptacles in general.
What I claim is-- The can-body A, having the respective an nular grooves a l), the former forming the internal shoulder to support the cover, the latter groove the bearing to retain the sealingwax, the cover B, having the vertical edge I) and a tapering face, b forming, with the upper sides of the can-body, a gutter or channel, and the sealing wax E, all said parts combined forming the hermetically -sealed can, as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony of said invention I have hereunto set my hand.
