WATER-CAN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 8, 1905.
Application filed March 6, 1905. Serial No. 248,391.
To all whom it nut?) concern:
Be it known that I, MALCOLM E. GRAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Water-Can, of which the following is a specification.
Among the objects of my invention are the construction of a water-can that shall communicate to the rose the maximum possible amount of pressure represented by the head of water in the can with the least possible,
friction and at the same time prevent an undue quantity of water being discharged into the rose, that shall permit all the water being readily discharged into the rose, and that will result in the use of the minimum number of pieces consistent with a construction not involving drawing or stretching the metal.
A further object of my invention is the construction of a can requiring a minimum amount of labor in forming and seaming the can, and that without the use of special tools. Such a construction results also in a minimum waste of the material used in such construction.
The several drawings illustrating my invention are as follows:
Figure 1 is a side view, and Fig. 2 a top view, of my water-can. Fig. 3 is a View of the blank from which the front portion of the can is made; and Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the rose, showing the relation of parts at its connection to the can.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the drawings.
As seen in the drawings, the can consists in a rear portion A and a bottom B, as common in water-cans generally, and'a novel forward portion C, so formed as to constitute in one piece the forward portion of the body of the can, the only connection between the can and the rose R, and a cover for the forward portion of the can, such cover portion being seamed at S.
The rose R is of usual construction and is preferably a stock article capable of being used in any connection desired and has the usual removable spray attachment,which may be unscrewed and removed, if desired, for delivering thewater in a solid stream.
Attention is called to the fact that, as seen in Fig. 4, the straight sides or elements of the portion 0 of the can extend into the rose'and form an opening within it for delivering the water from the can into such rose, and, further, that there is no extra part or member used to connect such rose to such can.
By reference to Fig. 3 it will be noted that the blank from which the forward portion C of the can is made is formed from a rectangular sheet of metal of length a 0 and width practically equal to a f. The opening at b is made so that when the sheet is formed up a suitable circular opening will be made for delivering'the water into the rose R.
In making the can the edges df ande g of the blank are joined to the rear portion A by vertical side seams, as indicated, the curved edge f g is seamed to the bottom B, as of course the bottom of the portion A is also, and the triangular portions a 7) cl and b c e of the blank 0 are bent along lines indicated by the broken lines d b and b 0, respectively, in Fig. 3, so that such triangular portions may lie in practically the same plane, and then the edges 64 b and b 0 are seamed together, as shown at S in Fig. 2, to form the cover for the forward portion of the can. Then the edges d a and c a form a practically continuous line, and this rear edge of the cover portion, as .well as the upper end of the portion A, may be reinforced, if desired, in any suitable way.
The usual carrying-handle H is provided, and this handle is secured to the can in any suitable way so as to be practically over the center of gravity of the can when full of water. The usual handle H and thumb-hold are also provided to facilitate discharging the contents of the can.
It will be noticed that in forming the blank 0 the only waste metal consists in the two triangular pieces cut from the original sheet along the lines 03 f and e g, the segment bounded by the broken straightline fg and the curvef g, and the segment cut out at 7).
What 1 claim is- 1. A water-can having its sides composed of two pieces and having its maximum trans verse crosssection passing approximately through the center of the bottom, and formed with a practically uniform and uninterrupted taper from that section into the rose and all of the seams in such can, except the one uniting the bottom to the sides, formed on straight edges of the blanks comprising the pieces forming the sides of such can.
2. A water-can having its sides composed of two pieces one at the front and the other at the rear, the front piece extending back to about the center of the can, such can formed with an uninterrupted taper into the rose' from the connection between such front and rear pieces and all of the seams in such can, except the one uniting the bottom to the sides, formed on straight edges of the blanks comprising the pieces forming the sides of such can.
3. A water can having its sides formed in two pieces one at the front and the other at the rear, such front portion extending back to about the center of the can and having edges united at the top of the canto form an irregular oblique cone with an uninterrupted taper into the rose and all of the seams in such can, except the one uniting the bottom to the sides, formed on straight edges of the blanks comprising the pieces forming the sides of such can. i
4. A water-can having its sides formed in two pieces one at the front and the other at the rear, such front portion extending back to about the center of the can and having edges united at the top of the can to form an irregular oblique cone with an uninterrupted taper into the rose, the two edges united at the top in such front portion lying in practically a continuous straight line when in the blank and all of the'seams in such can, except the one uniting the bottom to the sides, formed on straight edges of the blanks comprising the pieces forming the sides of such can.
