UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LOUIS LAMS, OF LILLE, FRANCE.
METALLIC BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 464,571, dated December 8, 1.891.
Application iiled January 19, 1891. Serial No. 378.350. (No model.) Patented in France July l, 1890, No. 206,655.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUIS LAMs, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at Lille, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Boxes, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in France, No.
` 206,655, dated July l, 1890,) of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention has relation to metallic boxes; and itlhas for its objects to provide a metallic box in which articles or substances of a perishable nature may be stored or packed and kept for a considerable period of time without any danger of deteriorating or becoming unfit for use, and to provide a metallic box which may be readily opened when it is desired to abstract the contents, and which is of a very simple and inexpensive construction.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent from the following de-y scription, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which latter-.
Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved box; Fig. 2, a plan view thereof; Fig. 3, a vertical secti'on on the lineXX of Fig. 2; Fig. 4., a horizontal section on the line Y Y of Fig. 3; Fig. 5, an elevation of the box, showing the lid swung open. Fig. 6 is a section of the band F, taken through one of the projected portions F thereof; and Fig. 6a is a like view showing the band as being hollow. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional view of my box, showing different means for securing the lid; Fig. 8, an elevation thereof; Fig. 9, a vertical sectional view of the box, showing a means for readily loosening the lid when it is desired to remove the con tents of the box; Fig. 10, an elevation of the box shown in Fig. 9; Fig. 1l, a detail sectional view showing a slightly-different arrangement of the means for loosening the lid.
Referring more particularly to Figs. l to 6, inclusive, of the above-drawings,myimproved metallic box consists of a bodyA, a bottom B, secured thereto, and a removable lid or cover G. The upper portion of the bodyA is made slightly tapering, and the said tapering portion is provided with an in turned lip or flange C. The tapering portion of the box may be formed separately from the body A and soldered or otherwise secured thereto; but I preis providedwith outwardly-bent portions F.
Said band F may be solid', as shown in Fig. 6, or hollow, as shown in Fig. Gn.
The lid or cover G is provided with downwardly-projecting ears or prongs H, which are of such a lengththat when the lid is fitted on the box said lears may be passed between the portions xF of band F and the body of the box, and then bent upwardly around the band to secure the lid in place. The lid is provided with a ring I by means of which it may be lifted off the body of the box.
In order to provide a means whereby a hermetic closure of the box may be effected, I place a packing-ring D, of asbestus or other material, intermediate the lid and the iiange C before the lid is fastened down upon the body of the box. When the article or substance to be preserved has been placed within the box, the packingring D is placed upon the flange C and the lid G is then placed upon said ring, the ears H passing between the portions F of band F and the body of the box, and the whole is then subjected to pressure, and while under press/ure the ends ofthe ears H are bent upwardly around the band F and then soldered to the remaining portions of the ears. Although I prefer to solder the upwardly-bent portions of the ears, yet it will be understood that such solderingis not necessary to preserve the hermetic closure. Vhen it is desired to loosen the lid to remove the same, the ears (if not soldered) may be bent downwardly by the finger, and if soldered, then a knife or other sharp instrument is passed beneath the ears and the same loosened and bent downwardly to enable them to be withdrawn from the band F.
In Figs. 7 and the body A of the box is not provided with the groove E, and the lid G is here securedin place by means of wires K, which are bent or formed into loops at their ends, through which loops pass the ears I-I, said wires passing under the bottom of the box and being soldered thereto after the ears IOO have been bent upwardly around the loops. The packing-ring D is, as in Fig. 2, inserted between the flange C aud the lid.
In Figs. 9 and IO the body A of the box is provided with the bead P, and around said body beneath the bead is placed awire N, said wire terminating in a handle N', secured thereto, the ears H of the lid being simply soldered to the body over the wire N. The latter and handle constitute a ready and convenient means for quickly loosening the ears to allow the lid to be removed. The packingrin g D is also in this instance placed between the flange C and the lid.
In Fig. 11 the body A is provided with a groove Q, the wire N being placed within said groove and over which pass the ears Il of lid G, the packing-ring D being arranged similarly to that shown in the previously-described figures.
That I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. In a metallic box, the combination, with thebody thereof provided near its upper edge with a groove, an inwardly-extending ange or rim atsaid upper edge, and a band encircling the body and seated and secured within said groove, said band beingprovided with outwardly-bent portions, as described, of the lid fitting over the upper end of the box and provided with downwardly-extending ears or prongs passing between the projecting portions of the band and the body of the box, the ends of said ears being bent upwardly around said portions and soldered to the remaining portions of said ears, and the packin g-rin g resting upon the inwardly-extending ange of the body intermediate said ange and the lid, substantially as described, for the purpose specified. l
2. The herein-described metallic box, consisting of the lower cylindrical portion, the upper tapering portion, and the inwardly-extending lange or rim at the upper edge of said tapering portion, in combination with a packing-rin g seated upon said fiange or rim, a lid or cover provided near its circumferential edge with a horizontal portion seated upon said packing-ring, a downwardly-ex tending iiange fitting over the tapering portion of the box, and downwardly-extending ears or prongs carried by said tapering portion of the lid and adapted to be held or en-` gaged by suitable means for the purpose of rmly securing the lid in place, as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 30th day of December, 1890.
