Y Be it known that I, JAMESF. DRUMMOND,

of the city,'connty, andStateof New York,-. "have invented-a new and nseful Improvement in Pail-Cans for Paint and othen Materials; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full; clear, andexaet description of the same,

-reference .being had [to the accompanying drawings, forming" part of this specification,-

Figure 1 is a side View of a can eonst tucted according to myinvention filled and .incondiv *tion-jfoi: transportation. Fig. 2 is .a central section corresponding with Fig. 1. 'Ei'g. 3is'a central section of the canin an unfinished; eondition. Fig.

4 is a plan yeoi'respoiiding wvith-Fig'.3.- a v;-

Similanlett'ers ofxreferenoe' indicate corre-j spending parts inLtIie' SeYeI-al figures. I My invention consists in a certain construetion 'an dmode of fapplying, securing, and healing-the head ofthe can, whereby; though it is hei metieally sealed for transportation, provision is afi'orded-for its easyrenioval when ,the'.paint or;othercontents of the can are to he used, and for its nse as a lid while-the can. is subsequently 'us'ed as. a pail. The body of ihe can "is mh'dev with 'a wired rim, a, and in;

,Oth'errespeets similar to that" of an ordinary tinpa-ily'but the bottom A. is not applied i 'til a portion'of the head or cover hasbeen put on and secured,ta s*will be presently de-, ;scribed. The'head or cover made ot two pieces of tinplate or other sheet ,metaL-B and G, (of: which 3' is in the formof a i in'ggwith a His eii'cnlar and ofa. size greater than the "cihc'nlfnopening fee of B, 'for the purpose of "covering the said Qopening. The'p'art B has several. (say fi'om four; to eight) .clasps, d 'd, p

for securing itto the b'od'y 'of the can, formed upon it hycuttingnotehe's inits rinib. The

said part B, withont the part Q, is'piiton the;

condi'tion'of the oanis shown in Figs. 3 3,116.4. In order to make a channel fOI'lJhG reception of the cement, the ,portion of B immeditoward the interior of the can, as shown in the sections, Figs. 2 and-3. When the part B has been'thus seeured and sealed, the bottom A issoldere'd on intlieusnal manner,-and the is closed by soldering the piece G overthe the can.

In ord-r to l in a proper positiom'and to facilitate the soldering of it in )pla'eeits nangin istuy'ned' at little downward, asshown' atffingE-ig. 2; and a corresponding depression is formedai'onnd margin; L
