UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES H. QUACKENBUSH, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN.
PAIL-COVER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 658,866, dated October 2, 1900.
Application filed December 4, 1899. Serial No. 739,183. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES H. QUAOKEN- BUSH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pail- Oovers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in covers for candy and other storage pails, and its objects are, first, to provide a cover that may be used for covering candy-pails temporarily and may be readily removed from one and applied to another; second, to provide a temporary cover with which the'contents of the pail may be readily seen, and, third, to provide a temporary cover with which the contents of the pail may be scooped therefrom without removing the cover. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an end view of a pail with my cover in place. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same on the line w 00 of Fig. 1 with the receptacle removed, and Fig. 3 is an edge view of the cover.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
My cover in its best form consists of a peripheral hoop O, which is made of a size and form to fit closely in the large end of the pail A. The lower portion of this hoop is filled with wood, as B, or other suitable material, upon whichI pivot a door D, as at d, so that it may be swung around, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, to remove it from over the opening b, through which a scoop may be passed with which to remove the contents of the pail. At each side of this door may be placed a catch, as d and d, secured to the outer surface of the cover and the edges adjacent the opening in the cover, set off to leave a space between them and the cover and so arranged that the edge of the door may be passed under the catch (1 far enough to pass by d,when it may he slid back under (1 and held to place, so that there will be no possibility of the contents of the pail forcing the door from the cover and falling out of the pail.
Above the wooden portion of the cover I place a glass, as B, in position, so that the contents of the pail will be at all times in plain view of the operator.
I do not confine myself to the use of a hoop in the construction of these covers, but sometimes construct a cheap wooden cover 13 attach the door, as hereinbefore described, and place one or more glass-covered openings through it, and placea border of felt E or other suitable material that is sufficiently pliable, so that it will adjust itself to accommodate the cover to pails of slight difference of diameter. This felt also tends to retain the cover in place, so that it will not be likely to be forced out by the pressure of the contents of the pail. v
I find that a very valuable acquisition to my cover is a small receptacle, as B back of the glass-covered openings shown in section in Fig. 3, so arranged that a small quantity of candy K orother substance with which the pail may be filled may be placed therein to give the pail the appearance of being full when in reality it contains but little. This receptacle 'is preferably located on the cover immediately above the door D when the pail is on its side and the door is in position for conveniently removing the contents of the pail.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
In combination with a temporary pail-cover having a glass-covered receptacle therein, packing around its edges, and an opening near its periphery, a door pivoted to swing over said opening, and catches d and d at the edges of said door, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
Signed at Grand Rapids, Michigan, November 18, 1899.
