WQ G. MOORE BEER CAN HANDLE Jan. 12, 1954 Filed July 11, 1949 INVENTOR. h AL 7'52 67 M0025 Patented Jan. 12, 1954 UNI ED STAT S OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to a handle for beer cans and the like, and has for its principal object the provision of a simple, economical, one-piece structure which can be instantly snapped on and off a tin can to provide a handle therefor, and to form a drinking receptacle therefrom.
Another object of the invention is to so construct the device that it can be attached to either opened or unopened cans, and so that it will serve to support a can while the latter is being opened by means of a standard bracket-type can opener.
Other objects and advantages reside in the detail construction of the invention, which is designed for simplicity, economy, and efficiency. These will become more apparent from the following description,
In the following detailed description of the invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawing which forms a part hereof. Like numerals refer to like parts in all views of the drawing and throughout the description,
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a. perspective view of the improved beer can handle;
Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, illustrating it in place on a can opener; and
Fig. 3 is a detail cross-section, taken on the line 33, Fig. 1.
In the drawing a typical beer can is indicated at I!) with its top can bead at H and its bottom can bead at l2.
While the device is more particularly designed for beer cans, to form drinking receptacles therefrom, it is, of course, not limited to this particular use but can be used upon any can to provide a convenient handle for pouring or drinking purposes.
The improved handle is formed from a single elongated strip of resilient material, such as spring metal. The upper extremity of the metal strip is slotted to provide two side hooks l3 which engage the inside of the top can bead II and a middle, downwardly extending hook l4 which engages the outside of the top can bead l I.
The strip is arched outwardly and downwardly from the hooks l3 to form a handle portion I5, thence extends inwardly to form a vertical portion IS. A forwardly extending foot portion I! is formed on the lower extremity of the vertical portion IS.
The foot portion H is transversally indented at each of its extremities to provide bead receiving depressions I8 and I9 for the bottom can head [2. The foot portion terminates at its forward extremity in an outwardly rolled-lip 20. Both the handle portion 15 and the foot portion I! are longitudinally indented, as shown in Fig. 3, for stiffening purposes.
The improved handle is attached to the can H) by engaging the hooks l3 inside the top can bead ll, thence swinging the foot portion 17 forwardly beneath the can and pushing it forwardly until the bottom can bead I2 snaps into the grooves l8 and [9 under the influence of the inherent resiliency of the resilient metallic strip.
It will be noted that the can is vertically held from tilting out of the embrace of the handle. It may, however, be rotated in the handle, the beads H and I2 sliding thereon so that the can can be supported in a bracket mounted, cranktype can opener, and will freely rotate in the handle while the top is being removed. The can may be lifted from the improved handle by simply depressing the lip 20.
While a specific form of the improvement has been described and illustrated herein, it is to be understood that the same may be varied, within the scope of the appended claim, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired secured by Letters Patent is:
A handle for cans of the type having upper and lower heads bordered by marginal beads; said handle being formed as a unit from a single strip of resilient material and comprising an outwardly formed hand grip having upper and lower arms and a shank extending downwardly from the lower arm, tongues at the front end of the upper arm constituting side hooks and an intermediate hook, the side hooks extending forwardly and downwardly in position for extending across the bead of the upper can head and downwardly to said head so as to grip the inner surface of said bead and the intermediate hook extending downwardly and forwardly to a position beneath and to the rear of said side hooks to grip the outer surface and lower edge of the said bead, a foot extending forwardly from the lower end of said shank and formed with depressed transversely extending portions at first and rear ends for receiving diametrically opposed portions of the bead of the lower can head, and a lip projecting forwardly from the bead-receiving portion at the front end of the foot.
WALTER G. MOORE.
