Patented Nov. 21, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 7 1,935,652 CONTAINER.
Henry J. Miller, San Francisco; Calif., assignor to V American Can Company, New York, N. Y., a
corporation of New Jersey Application January 27, 1930; Serial No. 423,652
2 Claims. (01. 220-29) re-closure member adapted to move freely into and out of assembled position. and to frictionally connect with the container wall, when in closed position, to iirmly hold the part in place.
An important object of the invention is the provision of a supplemental frictional closure provided with a resilient edge adapted to engage a formed part of the container with a yielding frictional connection.
An important object of the invention is the provision of a supplemental cover having a relieved peripheral edge adapted to frictionally engage a formed part in the wall of a hermetically sealed container and to provide a re-closure for the container after it has been opened.
Numerous other objects of the invention will be apparent as it is better understood from the '30; following description, which, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, discloses a preferred embodiment thereof.
Referring to the drawing:-
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the container of the present invention with its supplemental cover in assembled position.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the supplemental cover of the present invention.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the container and cover '40 illustrated in Fig. 1, parts being broken away.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken along the line 4i-4 in Fig. 3. p
The container of the present invention embodies a container body 11 provided with a bottom end member 12 which may be secured thereto in a double seam. The upper end of the body 11 is secured by a double seam 13 to a top end 14. The wall of the container body 11 directly be- ,neath and adjacent to the double seam 13 is bulged outwardly to provide an annular shoulder consisting of a fiat annular vertical wall 15 connecting with the wall of the body in a lower tapered or inclined wall 16 and in a similar upper wall 17. The outer diameter of the shoulder Wall 15 is greater than the diameter of the double seam 13, as illustratedin Fig. 4. v
By means of the end member 14 secured to the body 11 in the double seam 13, a hermetically sealed closure isprovided and the product which as ispacked in the container is thus retained in afresh condition until it reaches the ultimate consumer. Such a container hasbeen used with great, success for thepackaging of cofiee which is a product that must be tightly sealed, often in vacuum, to best preserve its aroma.
When the container is to be opened, the end member 14 may be cut and removed in the ordinary well known manner.
This opening may be done with the ordinary can opener or the end member 14 may be formed of lighter gage metal such as taggers tin in which event, the end my be cut out with a knife or other sharp instrument.
Provision is made for a re-closure after the end member 14 has been removed which comprises a supplemental cover 18 provided with a flat annular wall 19 and a depending flange 21 joined to the wall 19 by'a rounded portion 22. The flange 21 is, bent inwardly and. terminates in'a peripheral edge 23 which is of substantially the same diameter as the outer diameter of the Wall 15. Relieved openings in the form of semi-circular clips 24 are cut at spaced intervals in the peripheral edge 23 of the supplemental cover and these provide greater flexibility for the peripheral edge of the supplemental cover.
The greatest diameter of the supplemental cover 18 is in excess of the diameter of the shoulder wall 15 and also of the double seam 13, and when the cover is placed in position to act as a reclosure, its annular wall. 19 is brought downwardly and rests upon the upper edge of the double seam 13. In this position the upper end of the container, after it has been opened by removal of the end member 14, is completely closed by the supplemental cover, its peripheral edge 23 at such time fitting snugly against the shoulder wall 15 and yieldingly holding the cover in assembled position in a flexible frictional connection. Such a connection is not hermetic but 109 the seal provided is suilicient to retain the product packed therein in a fresh condition during the relatively short period of its use.
The construction of the supplemental cover 18 is such as to permit ready application of the same on the upper end of the container, its peripheral edge 23 passing freely over the double seam 13 and being spread outwardly a slight distance when it engages the tapered wall 17 as it is being applied. After the cover has been fully 11 assembled, this position being illustrated in Fig. 4, it is held against displacement by the frictional contact between the peripheral edge 23 and the wall 15. Owing to the relieved semicircular cuts 24, this frictional engagement between the supplemental cover and the container part is not sufficient to interfere with the ready removal of the cover when it is withdrawn from position, the enlarged portion 22 of the cover affording a suitable hand-hold for this purpose.
It is thought that the invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement'of the parts without departing'from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of .its material advantages, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.
I claim:
1. A container having a metallic body comprising a cylindrical wall, and an end permanently seamed thereto in an hermetic joint protruding outwardly beyond a line passing through the major surface of the cylindrical wall and parallel to its axis, said body. having adjacent and below said joint an outward bulge greater than the diameter of the container body and of a diameter as great asthe external diameter of the said seam joint, and an outer slip cover reclosure having an inwardly depending flange adapted to pass freely over said protruding joint and to be expanded by and to engage tightly around said bulge and yieldingly hold said cover in assembled position with the body, said bulge having a vertically extended cylindrical surface and having tapered walls respectively above and below said cylindrical surface and extending thence to the main portion of the container body.
2. A container having a metallic body comprising a cylindrical wall, and an end permanently seamed thereto in an hermetic joint protruding outwardly beyond a line passing through themajor surface of the cylindrical wall and parallel to its axis, said body having adjacent and below said joint an outward bulge greater than he diameter of the container body and of a diameter as great as the external diameter of the said seam joint, andan outer slip cover reclosure having an inwardly depending flange adapted to pass freely over said protruding joint and to be expanded by and to engage tightly around said bulge and yieldingly hold said cover in assembled position with the body, said depending flange being relieved as to flexibility by cuts made at spaced intervals into its bulge-engaging edge, and said bulge having a vertically extended cylindrical surface and having tapered walls respectively above and below said cylindrical surface and extending thence to the main portion of the container body.
