ftulwlom iat-m?)001mm.-` I v Be it known that I, JOSEPH Konmo, a citizen of the United States, and resident' of Two Rivers in the county of Manitowoc 6 and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flasks for Lilqiids; and. I do hereby declare that the fo wing is a full, clear, and exact descri tion thereof.` 10 e main object of my invention is to provide simple, economical, non-corrosive, anti-leak canteens designed to be comfortf ably carried upon the plersons of soldiers and Whlch will stand mout up upon the ground, a mess table, or other support, said invention consistin in a one-piece, seamless, metal flask having a flat bottom and a preferably screw`threaded cylindrical neck; its general contour between the bottom and neck being hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a canteen in accordance with my invention;

Fig. 2, a sectional View of the same on the l plane indicated by line 2-2 in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3, a plan view of said canteen inverted, and,

Fi 4, a horizontal section of the same on the p ane indicated by line 4-4 in Fig. 2.

Referring by numerals to the drawings, 5 indicates the body of a flask that constitutes a. canteen in accordance with my invention. This iiask-like canteen is designed to be made from a single piece of aluminum without seam, in' order to be non-corrosive and anti-leak. Its bottom is fiat and it is provided with a screw-threaded cylindrical neck 6.

The general contour of the body of the canteen in horizontal section at any plane intermediate of its bottom and neck is for the most part elli ical, one side being dished to form a concavity 7 extending upward from the bottom to a predetermined height. The canteen is gradually widened upward from the bottom to approximately one-half its height and then graduall decreased in width u to the beginning o its neck, as' is herein own.

The canteen has one of its sides cancave in order that it may readily conform to the curvature of the person carrying the same, and its bottom is fiat sothat it may stand alone A swivel-ring 8 1s shown engagmg Speoltoltbt otieissued-Letterl Patent. Reiggued Apr; 29, -1919.

an outer annular groove in ltite-freek' of the "canteen, and a chain 9 in connection with said ring has swivel connection with a screwcap closure 10 for said neck.

Iam aware that it is not novel to make a one piece, iiat bottom and seamless sheetmetal receptacle for liquids. I am also aware that 1t is not novel to make a rounded lower end metal or glass flask or bottle having its body concave upon one side between said end thereof and its neck, its body being of otherwise generally elliptical contour in horizontal section intermediate of the extremes aforesaid.

It is not at all ditlicult to make receptacles as aforesaid, but it has required invention and a great deal of expensive experiment to make a one piece sheet metal ask-like canteen having a flat bottom and one side of its body concave from. said bottom to a. predel termined height above the same, as the p-roduct of a method set up in my application Serial No. 672,655, filed January 22, 1912. In brief, the method aforesaid consists in drawing operations to reduce a single fiat sheet of metal to a cup form of predetermined dimensions; taperingly reducing the diameter of a lower portion of the cup and at the same time imparting thereto a more tapering ellipsoidal form below the reduction aforesaid; ressing and flattening its lower portion andJ bottom into the shape and dimensions of the finished canteen and at the same time forming-a concave depression in one side of said ex anded portions of said cup; spinning in o the then upper round portion of the product and terminating the same at the top in a cylindrical neck; molding the round portion of the product below its neck to convert the same lnto the ellipsoidal contour of said finished canteen as well as to upwardly extend the aforesaid concave depression; and finally screwthreading said neck.

While in these specifications I 4have used the term canteen as applied to my new article of manufacture, it is obvious that the ask-like bottle herein shown `and described may be Worn on the body of the person and be used to contain liquid whether such liquid is for drinking or other purposes.

I claim:

. 1. An improved article of manufacture, consisting of a. one-piece, seamless-body,

sheet lmetal, flask-like canteeny having a Hat bottom and a sidey thereof concave 'from said bottoml to a predetermined height above the n same. a f

2. An improved tiled-e fiiiaufetui-e, consist' of a one-piece, seamless-body, sheet metaLask-like bottle for liquids, having aiat bottom'adaptingit for ready lling and a side thereof concave from said botf 10 tom to a predetermined heightabove the same toeonform to the curvature of the body when worn on the person.-

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto setpmy` hand at Two Rivers,

in the countyof Manitowoc, and State of 15 Wisconsin, in the presence of two witnesses.
