re; all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Bonner Human, J12, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have invented. new and useful Improvements in Paint-Cans, of which the following is a, specification.

This invention relates to a can of novel construction which will segregate the liquid and solid constituents of marine or other paint, and will permit said constituents to be readily intermixed when the paint is to be used.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure l is a vertical central section. of my improved paint can; Fig. 2a similai' section of the inner receptacle, showing it reversed; Fig. 3 a similar section of the outer receptacle, showing it reversed, and Fig. a" plan of The can is composed of an outer receptacle adapted to contain the liquid constituent of the paint, and of an inner receptacle 11 extending axially through the outer receptacle and adapted to contain the bronze powder or other solid constituent of. the paint.

The bottom 12 of the outer receptacle is provided with an. upwardly extending bulge 13 which is preferably centered on the bottom. it its top, outer receptacle 10 is pro-' videdwith'an annular head 14 having a de pending flange 15, the diameter of the opening formed within head Ll being greater than the diameter of bulge 13.

' Inner receptacle 11 is provided at its lower open end with a foot 16 adapted to rest upon bottom 12, and with an inwardly oxtcnding flange 17 adapted to snugly encompass bulge 13. At its top, inner receptacle ll is permanently closed. by 2. laterally extending head 18 having upwardly bent cir 'cam'i'l ercntial flange 12) adapted to frictionally engage the flanged edge of head 1%. it will be observed that head 18 extends partly over the annular chamber 20 formed between receptacles 10, ll, so that said chamher is closed by the coiipcration of heads 14-,

'lVithin the overhanging portion of head 1.8 is formed a fillin or-ificeQl, which thus con'in'iunicates with c amber 20. This open ing may be eclosed by suitable covering plate or similar device 22.

To 1511 the can, inner receptacle 11 is reversed, (Fig. 2), and the bronze powder or other solid component of the paint is poured into the same. Outer receptacle 10 is also reversed, (Fig. 3), and. projected over the inner receptacle, so that. bulge 13 of the former will be tightly grasped by the flange 17 of the latter, while heads ll, 18 will become simultaneously interlocked by a slip joint. The receptacles being thus connected, are righted and the liquid component of the paint is poured into chamber 20 through fit orifice 21; after which said orifice is sealed,'

so that the can is ready for the market.

If the paint is to be used, head 18 is pried loose from head It and then the inner re ceptaclc is lifted out of the outer receptacle. \Vhile the inner receptacle is thus raised, its contents will be discharged into the outcr receptacle, so that the two constituents of the paint will become readily mixed.

It will be seen that my improved can effectively separates the two elements constituting the paint and that such elements are brought together in a most simple man I nor when the can is opened.

I claim: 1'. in a pamt can, an outer receptacle havinga bottom bulge, combined with an inner receptacle extending axially through the outer receptacle and havmgan open lower end adapted to removably engage said bulge.

2. In a paint can, an outer receptacle having a bottom bulge, combined with an innen receptacle extending axially through the outer receptacle and having an open lower end, and. a flange within said end adapted to removably grasp said bulge.

3. In a. paint can, an outer receptacle having a bottom bulge and an annular head,

combined with an inner receptacle adapted to engage said bulge and having a laterally extending head adapted to frictionally 011- gage the head of the outer receptacle.

4. In a paint can, an outer receptacle having a bottom bulge, combined with an inner receptacle adapted to said bulge and l'iaving a laterally projecting :ipcrturcd head of greater diameter than said bulge and extending into engagement; with the outer receptacle.

Signed by me at New York city, {Manl1attan,) N. Y., this 18th day of May, 1909.
