GARBAGE OR REFUSE CAN.
5 F'ECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 703,'7'45,'datecl July 1, r902.
- :rlfflh's invention relates to garbage or refuse caps particularly'adapted for street use by street-cleaning departments; andithe object cfitthe invention is to provide a can of such fiompationi and with interiorlydocated stops (insupporting-faces whereby it canbe quickly aridlreadily nested-with cans of similar. size and-construction, so that a plurality of cans may be nested without the jamming or wed gin'glof one within the other, and thereby enabl'ea large number of such cans to be piled in a'comparatively small space.
--= A-further object of the invention is to provide a -c'an with integral stops or supporting. faces located on the interior of the body thereof and at intervals around the same and inposition to engagea partas, for instance,-
i fibib0ttom-of a companion can.
*FQIn the drawings. accompanying and forming-ipart of this specification, Figure 1 is a sectional view of a pair of cans nested, each provided with this improved stop;'and Eig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of one of thecans.
Similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.
So far as I am aware garbage or refusecans so constructed that they'can be readilynested without the jamming or wedging together of such cans had never been placed upon the market prior to the improvement shown and described in Patent No. 649,258, dated May 8, 1900, granted tothe Iron Clad Manufacturing Company, it havi'ng'been the practice, at least in New York-city, up to the time of such invention to use bags carried by a suitable wheeled frame for the reception of streetrefuse. Priorto suchpatent when it was attempted to nest tapering Ycans or receptacles they frequently became tightly wedged or stuck together, so that if they were made of comparatively large size and considerable weight it was otttimes impossible to remove Application filed March 5,1901. Serial No. 49,666. on model.)
one from the other without considerable labor and much loss of time, such cans wedgingto:
gether in a similar manner to table-glasses.
which although comparatively small f requently become so wedged that it is almost; impossible to'separate them.
For-practical use by street-clean ing departments it is necessary in order to economize space that the cans be of such constructionthat they canbe readily nested, wherebyia' large number of such cans may be carried from'poiut to pointin one conveyance. Furthermore, the cans must be so nested that they maybe readily disassembled without the ne.
cessity of working with the cans in order to accomplislrthis end, which would result in annoying delays. .This result has been at-. tempted by making the cans of diltercnt sizes. This, however, has not been found practica ble, since in order to reassemble the cans it was first necessary that many hundreds :be
asserted, which necessitated considerable work and loss of ti me. Aside from this, how. ever, it follows that some ot the cans must necessarily be of less capacity than others,
since the largest can be no longer or larger than can be readily handled.
The object of the present invention, there fore, is to provide a garbage or rofusecan (ofttimes called an aslican) of such con; sti'uction that its companion cans maysbe ofi the same size and construction, and=.-:o,onse-' quentl y of the same capacity, while all of-s'uch cans may be interchangeably superimposejd 8gand readily nested and disasseinbledwithout the sticking or wedging of one relativelyto another and so that when nested a large-mum her of cans maybe located or carriedin a'pile:
In that form of the improvement hereinshown and described and which may be' its preferred form, if desi red, each can 53 is'formed with tapered side walls 3 and provided-with. interiorly-located integral means constructed to act as stops or supporting-faces; so tha when a plurality of cans are nesteth'they w l be held apart with a space i betweeii'the {1011* toms an-dsides thereof, thereby topositin y insure a loose nesting ot the same, and d sequently preventthe sticking and wedg' g of the cans sometimes ue to irregulariti in construction as well as to other cause? In the present instance this integral means is located preferably adjacent to the bottom of the can and comprises a plurality of stops The can-body may be reinforced, if desired,
'1 day a hoop 6, exteriorly located and closing .a the recess formed by projecting the metal in- ,Twardly, whereby the walls of the can are rer 5 'inforced at the point where the stops are lo- ;cated. Such hoop not only serves to rein- -forcethe-can, but .it enlarges the external ameter of the bearing edge of the bottom go-p iojectinto the can-to a. less extent than 5" ould be necessary if they were merely to rigage'ihe edge wall properof another can. e hoop will rest on the stops nearer the e walls-thanthe can-wall itself would, thus 1nging1the strain where the most strength resides, The hoop also serves to fill the space int of support, rendering the nested pile more stable, as the cans are prevented from liding laterally uponthe stop-faces.
Tho eau-bottom 7 is shown providedwith a'a-diange lapping the walls .of the, can, this flange in the present instance being a depend ing'one and secured to the can-body by rivets. Inthe form illustrated the stops are located rin'such position that they will be im mediatel y above the bottom, so that they will rest thereon, whereby the bottom acts to reinforce such tops, the stops and bottom each acting independently and .together to reinforce the walls of the can. Inthe form shown-the location of the stops mitsone can to be inserted into another 'ly-its entirelength; but it is obvious that not necessarily be the case, since may be otherwise located more or to to the bottom, if desired or found e in practice. The upper part of is usually protected by means of a ich maybe secured thereto in any ayas, for instance, by rivetsand I an s usually provided with handles 8, f w ch '-m'ay be located on the hoop and riv- -.e' t e,d thereto, if desired, or they may be oth- 5'5 gi -wis'e -located, or the means for lifting the 'can' m-ayi beotherwise obtained-as, for in- Stance, 3 03 means of openings cut into the valls'. ofi--the can.
he? sion of integral stops the necessity O ralttac i ng independent devices by rivets is avoided -1 nsewhen one can is inserted into another-the bottom thereof rests on and engages the st ipor supporting-face of a. companion o the can, so that the stops may be made to between the nested cans at and above the e foregoing it will be seen that by can, whereby the cans inay ,l ereadily fi so that they may be easily sepatl'i'ted,}.
