WILLIAM F. DONNELL, OF JONESBORO, ARKANSAS.
MILK-CAN.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM F. DONNELL, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Jonesboro, county of Craighead, Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Milk-Cans, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention relates to improvements in milk cans, the object of my invention being to construct a novel closure for milk cans and to arrange the locking devices for the closure in planes inside of the periphery of the closure so that when the can is rolled the locking devices will not be apt to be broken.
For the above purposes my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claims and illustrated by the accompanying drawing, in Which:
Figure 1 is a vertical, sectional elevation of the complete can illustrating the same in a closed and sealed condition; Fig. 2 is an elevation of the upper portion of the can and cover therefor showing the means for sealing the cover to the can; Fig. 3 is an enlarged, vertical, sectional elevation of the upper portion of the can showing the cover therefor in a position about to be closed for sealing; Fig. 1 is an elevation similar to Fig. 2 illustrating the opposite end of the closin and sealing means; and Fig. 5 is a detail perspective illustrating a portion of the cover.
Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawing: 1 designates the main body portion of the can which is preferably cylindrical and 2 designates the bottom of the can which is united with the main body portion on a curved line as shown.
As shown in the drawing the bottom 2 is provided with a horizontal flat portion and is made separate from the body portion.
Secured to the can, preferably by riveting to the body portion 1, adjacent its lower margin, is a base 3 which diverges toward its bottom margin so that the side margin of the base, adjacent the bottom, lies in a plane outside of the can proper.
4 designates a ring which is secured to the body portion 1 of the can adjacent its upper margin and 5 designates an integral extension of the ring which lies in a plane some Specification of Letters Patent.

little distance removed from the periphery of the can proper, the extension 5 uniting with the ring proper on a curved line andv the upper margin of the extension 5 terminates in a plane flush with the upper margin of the can proper. The ring aand extension 5 together with a portion of the wall of the can proper form a pocketin which the continuous yielding gasket 6 is seated, which gasket is of a height normally greater than the height of the pocket.
7 designates the cover for the can which is provided with an annular downturned extension 8, the extension uniting with the cover on a curved line. Portions of the extension 8 are removed on opposite sides of the cover forming openings 9 and 1O.
11 designates a hinged hasp which is secured to the cover 7 in alinement with the opening 9. The free member of the hasp is provided "with an opening 12 adjacent its lower end which is designed to embrace the projection 13 secured to the can proper. The pendant portion of the hasp 11 is arranged to occupy the opening 9 in the cover when in position with the opening 12 engaging with the projection 13. Diametrically opposed to the hasp 11 is a hasp 1.4 which is secured to the cover 7 so that its pendant portion will occupy the opening 10 in the cover when in a closed position. Garried by the pendant portion of the hasp 14 is a cam 15 having an integral handle 16 which is slotted at 17. The end of the cam 15 is arranged to normally occupy a seat 18 formed in the ring at.
19 designates a perforated car which is secured to the body portion 1 of the can in a posit-ion to be embraced by the slot 17 of the cam handle.
2O designates a seal or look which is arranged to be inserted through the perforation formed in the ear 19 for locking the cam handle in a closed position.
By reason of the construction of the can and cover therefor, as shown and described, it is obvious that the same may be perfectly cleansed for the reason that there are no angles opposing such perfect cleansing.
In View of the fact that the can is supplied with a rounded or partially rounded bottom it is obvious that an extraneous base is necessary to cause the can to stand erectly.
The base as shown not only performs the function of holding the can in an upright position but by reason of its being extended outwardly adjacent its lower margin approximately tothe same diameter as the cover 'Tjthe can may be, rolled on the base and cover and itis obvious that if any ob- 5 struction is met during such rolling the.
samewill not contact with the body portion '1' of the can but be met by the cover or the base. r
g'While I have'shown and described the 1o body portion 1 of the can and bottom thereformade of two pieces, I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to this conjf'structionfor the reason that the construc fti'on of a can-having the can proper and of my inventioin V .The gasketfi may b'ejmade of any yield- I i 1 5' bottom of a single piece lieswithin the scope I 'ing. substancebut I- prefer to construct a 'gasketof s'oftjrubber', the gasket being of 2011a. height greater than the height of the pocket-in which it is held. V
fAs shown in Fig.3 the cover 7.is in a fposition to be sealed and locked, the'hasp 11" at the lefthand end of the can being sei g curedin place over the projection 1L.
' It: is obvious'that by manipulation of the handle 16and by reason of the cam the :fgasket ,6 wil'l'becompressed and occupy a 'positionjwholly within the pocket as shown in Fig. 1.7 After the lever ,has been moved .g'tO. its sealing position the slot 17 therein willembrace the perforated car 19, and to a ,hold the lever in a locked position-any or dinary seal or look maybe employed. After thej'can'has been sealed and'lockedi as shown v s the joint betweenithe-coverland thejcan is liquid-tight and by reason of said lock or" seal-the contents are safe against: unauthor- -1zed1;remova1. V r l 1. In a milk can, the combination with an open-topped uniform diametered, cylindrical can, of a ring secured to the periphery of the can adjacent its upper margin, an integral extension of said ring forming an annular pocket, a gasket located in said pocket, a cover having a down-turned flan e, has'ps carried by the cover, means for etachably securing one of the hasps t0 the can, means connected with the other hasp for moving the coverto compress said gasket in'said pocket and means for locking the hasp and cover in a closed position.
'2. In a milk can, the combination with an open top'ped uniform diametered, cylindricalcan, of a ring secured to the periphery ofthe can adjacent- .its upper margin, an
.annular pocket, a gasket. located in said pocket, a cover having a down-turned flange, hasps carried by the cover, lneans for detachably securing one of the hasps-to the can, means connected with the other hasp for moving the cover to compress said gasket in said pocket and means forlocking the haspand coverin a closed position, said down-turned extension of the cover over- 7 lapping'the integral extension, of the said ring and provided with cutaway portions to accommodate portions of said hasps.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
