CAN.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 279,738, dated June 19, 1883.
Application filed March 17, 1883.
To all whom it may concern:
E@ it known that I, JOHN A. EREY, of coms! 10 with a large spout having ahinged lid,where by it is especially adapted for Vuse in the carv rying of molasses or similar viscous material, said can constituting a new article of manufacture, as hereinafter more fully ,set forth. j
The accompanying drawing is a side elevation of my improved can.
As a general rule stone jugs have heretofore been used, especially in lthe country districts for carrying sirup, molasses, and similar substances; but these jugs are heavy,
clumsy, and inconvenient to carry in the hand, as is often necessary. A still. greater objection to them is the diiiiculty of getting molasses, sirup, and the like into or out of them, especially in cold weather, it often requiring a long` time, and not unfrequently the warming of the material before it can be made to flow through a funnel into the jug, thus consuming the time of both the dealer and customer. rIhe object of this invention therefore is to produce a can that can be used instead of the jug, and which shall obviate these several objections.
To construct a can on my plan, I first provide the glass body A, which is preferably iliade in the form shown, with a large central opening or mouth having a vertical lip or flange surrounding the same, to which the spout is to be secured. This glass body A is then permanently incased in a tin jacket or covering, preferably constructed as described in mypatent of April 26, 1881, No. 240,688, this jacket I bei 11 g provided with elongated perforations b, alternating with raised or projecting ribs a, 4 5 as shown, the slots showing the'glass and permitting the contents to be seen, while the ribs serve to render the jacket more rigid, and thus more effectually protect the glass body, or, if p preferred, the jacket may be constructed as 5o shown and described in my patent of February l2, 1878, No. 200,274, either style being used, as may be preferred.
(No model.)
To the top or neck of the glass body A, .I
secure a large spout, C, to which is hinged a lid, B, as shown, said lid beingso arranged that "when opened it will expose one-half or more of the mouth or opening in the top of the glass body, the object being to afford a large opening through which molasses or any similar material may be poured with facility and quickly and without the use of a funnel. If preferred, the lid may be hinged at or near the back side of the spout, and thus be made to expose, when opened, the entire mouth of the glass vessel, but about the proportions shown are thought to be sufficient, and at the same time make the strongest and best job. The lid B is provided with a thumb -piece, 1, of any desired form to open and close the salne, and a loop or handle, H, is secured to the jacket I near the bottom on the side opposite the spout for tipping the can when emptying of its contents. It is also provided witha bail, D, secured to the top of the metal jacket or casing I, as shown, for carrying the same.
It is obvious that a can thus made is far more convenient than the ordinary jug for the purpose stated, and that it is equally convenient for carrying milk or similar substances, as it can readily filled without the aid of a funnel and in far less time, and affords the best of facilities for pouring out its contents, either wholly at once or in small quantities from time to tim e, as maybe required. Asis well known, glass forms one of the best of all known vessels for containing liquids of all kinds, and it has the advantage of enabling its interior to be seen, thereby not only showing its contents, but enabling a person to scc when it is thoroughly cleaned, and which is very important in vessels designed to contain articles for food. By'inclosing it in a metallic casing .or jacket, as shown, the glass, otherwise so liable to injury, is protected, thus enabling the can to be handled and carried in wagons, as is necessary in the country especially, with perfect safety.
I am aware that glass vessels have before been incased in a metal jacket or casing, and that molasses-cups for use on tables have been made with spouts and hinged lids, and I. am' also aware that a patent has been granted for an oil-can consisting of a glass vessel with a spout and a sliding cover, said can being set IOO loosely in a metallic holder with packing l, and having the spout C,Witl1 the hinged lid around its top, and therefore I do not claiin B secured thereto, substantially as shown and 1o either of these; but, described.
Having thus fully described my invention, 5 what I claim is- AS a new article of manufacture, the lierein- Titncssesa described can, consisting ofthe glass body A., I JAS. F. DUHAMEL, permanently incased with a metallic jacket, H. J. SCHNEIDER.
