IMPROVEMENT IN PACKING CANS FOR-TRANSPORTATION.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 341,547, dated February 25, 1862.
To all whom t may concern.:
Be it known that I, JAMES F. DEUMMOND, of the city, county, and State. of New York, have invented-a new and Improved lVIode of Packing Cans for Transportation; and I do hereby declare that the following is a ful/l, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in whicli- Figure l is a vertical section of a box having a can fitted Within it according to my invention; Fig. 2, a plan or top view of the same with the cover removed. Y
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.
The object of this invention is to pack ordinary cylindrical sheet-metal cans-such as are used for holding turpentine, oil, varnishes, Src-,in such a manner that the whole weight of the cans and contents will be firmly held and sustained at the extremities of the cans, which are their strongest portions, while the sides or bodies of the cans, which are their weakest portions, are prevented from moving or coming in contact with each other o1` with any other substance, all indentation, weakening, and leakage ofthe cans during transportation being thus prevented.
A well-known mode of packing has been to have square or quadrilateral cans constructed so that they maybe closely tted within their cases without any filling or packing. This mode, however, although economizing somewhat in space and reducing the cost of transportation, in a slight degree, is attended with the loss of the cans,y so far as after use is concerned, as painters, varnishers, Sto., cannot use them as portable or hand vessels. Another objection to this mode is that, under the rough handling which the boxes undergo in transportation, the cans are caused to jam and grind against each other, their sides become bent in, and the seams are weakened and soon break, when leakage takes place. The same difficulty -attends th'e transportation of paintcans where fillings or packings are used between the cans.
Owing tol the great weight of prepared paints, due to thense of lead, it is almost impossible to pack the cans with fillings and transport them for long distances without more These cans are of cylindrical form-such as are generally made for holding oils, turpentine,` varnishes, &c.-and each is provided with a bail'or handle, O. A
In the inner surface of the bottom a of the box there are made a series of circular recesses, b, of sufficient diameter to receive the bottoms a of the cans B, and in the under surface of the lid c of the box there are made a series of circular recesses, d, the latter being of sufficient diameter to receive the tops b of the cans. The recesses d are directly over and coincide with the recesses b in the bottom a of the box, as will be fully understood by referring to Fig. l.
Vhen the lid c is secured to the box A, the cans B are firmly secured in position'7 as will be clearly seen by referring to Fig. 1, all lateral movement is prevented, and by having the tops of the cans in contact with the tops of the recesses d in the lid c no vertical play or movement will be allowed, and the cans will be supported and held exclusively by their ends, and all contact at their sides, and
consequently all injury thereto by indenta- JAS. F. DRUMMOND.
