UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEO JOHN XV. MASURY, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN' PAINT-CANS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 2{l,090, dated July l0, 1&60.
I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had'to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of'this speciiication, in which- Figure l represents a vertical central section of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference 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 with reference to the drawings.
A represents a can made of tinned sheetiron, or of any other suitable material, in the form commonly used for cans in which paint is to be sent from one place to another. rllhe top edge of this can is strengthened by abead, a, formed with or without a wire, as may be deemed most desirable. Such cans are generally fitted up and closed by means of covers made of sheet-tin, and furnished with a rim that projects a short distance into the interior of the can, and if they are exposed to aheavy side pressure, or if they are thrown down from a wagon or car, they are very liablev to collapse, letting out the contents, and creating much trouble, both to the seller and to the buyer. The simple rim of tinned sheet-iron commonly attached to the cover is not strong enough to preserve the cans intact, and for this reason I employ a solid cover, B, made of wood or any other rigid material, and with a rim, b, which projects a little distance down into the can. Such acover proves to be of real benefit to the can, for no pressure is strong` enough to compress the tcp edge if the cover is inserted. prefer to use wood for these i covers, because it is lighter and cheaper than most other materials which might be used, and it enables me to fasten the cover down more readily than other materials of superior hardness would do.
In order to fasten down the cover and prevent it coming oi't` spontaneously, I use two or more straps, C, made to catch under the bead c on the top edge of the can, and secured to the cover by means of screws c. Itis obvious that it' the cover .is made of wood common wooden screws are suicient to fasten down these straps, and they can be inserted in any place around the top edge ofthe cover simply by the aid of a gimlet. If the cover is made ot' metal, on the other hand, it would involve considerable labor to make screws and holes for that purpose, and if the thread of one of the screws or in one of the holes gives way, another screw must be obtained and another hole drilled and tapped, and for these operations tools are required which are not always at hand. a good piece of wood turned to the required shape and fitted nicely into the top of the can, is sufficiently strong to enable the can to withstand any pressure or concussion to which it may be exposed.
The simplicity with which my covers can be,
fastened down, their small cost, and the benefits derived therefrom in regard to strengthen- 'ing the can render this invention of considerable value to the public.
Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by
