JOHN H. HEISEY AND THOMAS OLIVER, OF MONTICELLO, IOWA.
CAN-HANDLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 437,199, dated September 30, 1890.
Application filed June 11, 1890. Serial No. 855,082. (No model.)
T0 at whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, JOHN H. I-IEIsEY and THOMAS OLIVER, citizens of the United States, residing at Monticello, in the county of Jones and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Can-Handle, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has relation to improvements in milk-cans, and has special reference to the means of attaching the handles thereto, and of that class of milk-cans employed for storing and transporting milk.
The objects of our invention are to provide means for attachingthe handle to the can at such points upon the can as will facilitate the handling of the can by evenly balancing the same and avoiding any tendency on the part of the can of being top-heavy when empty, furthermore, to locate the securingplate at such a point upon the can as to aid in the strengthening and retention of the middle band thereof, and finally to provide an abutment so located as to come in contact with the middle bands of adjacent cans when being transported or stored.
With the above general objectsin view, the invention consists in certain features of construction, hereinafter specified, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a milk-can, the handles of which are attached in accordance with our invention. curing-plate. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the wall of the can, the securing-plate, and handle.
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates the milk-can, provided with the upper and lower encircling bands 2, and the central encircling band 3. Heretofore it ,has been the custom to secure the handle-selcuring plates 4 at points above or below the central band, and by so doing the can was unbalanced and when empty and being handled would'be top-heavy, thereby rendering the handling of the can difficult.
4 designates the securing-plate, which at its upper and lower ends is provided with openings 5, through which rivets are passed into the wall of the can. The rear side of the Fig. 2 is a rear perspective of the se-' ends of the groove are open, and located above i the same are lugs 11, which limit the upward movement of the handle to ahorizontal'posi tion. Above the tr ansyerse grooye 7 and projec'ting fromthe exterior surface of the plate 4 is a conical projection 12, said projection being located opposite the shallow recess 6 and therefore the central or intermediate en'- ci jcling band o, By thus locating the plate the same aids in securing the central band in position, the can is evenly balanced and therefore adapted to be handled with greater facility than heretofore, and in shipping the cans or storing the same where they are arranged one against the other in series it will be observed that the c onical protuberance 12 of each can is in a horfidnta'lplane withthe central bands of all of the cans.
Great objection has heretofore existed in the construction of cans that in packing or shipping the same the handles or bails would cause dents to be formed in the adjacent cans by contact therewith. By our invention, however, the protuberance 12 extends beyond the vertical plane of the handle when the latter is in a lowered position as when not in use, and being in line with the central band of adjacent cans any contact of the two cans is not liable to injure the same or cause the formation of unsightly dents.
Having described our invention, what we claim is- 1. A can having a central band and the handle-securing plate herein described, the same being provided with a transverse recess upon its rear side, and below the same with a transverse groove, a handle mounted loosely in the groove, rivets passed through the plate at each side of the band, and a protuberance projecting from the exterior of the plate opposite said band and above the handle, substantially onrown, we have hereto allixedon r signatures as specified. in presence of two witnesses.
2. A can provided with an encircling band, a handle-securing plate 4, secured over the JOHN H. HEISEY. 5 band and having an abutment 01' protnber- THOMAS OLIVER.
In testimony that We claim the foregoing as O. D. RICKER.
