UNITED STATES CAN OB CONTAINER Stevens A. Bennett, Chicago, 111., assignor to Wilson 8; Bennett Manufacturing Company; Chicago, 11L, a corporation of Illinois Application January 30,1933, Serial No. 654,215 Claims. (Cl. 221-911) This invention relates to cans or containers in generalof the type adapted for holding and shipping liquids and is particularly directed to closure andspout features relating thereto.
' 5 Among the objects of the invention are to provide an improved can, pail or container having novel closing and pouring means; to provide a can or the like with'a pouring-spoutwhich is permanently attached thereto but which may be ad- 19 l'usted from a protected non-pouring position to pouring position; to provide a container top-with a raisedportion having a recess therein and having a rotatable spout secured in said recess; to provide 'a receptacle with a cover having a spout fixed thereto and having a plug for said spout; to provide a container cover having an integrally formed nozzle portion with portions adapted to be punched out for discharging the contents and a plug adapted to make a tight 2o closure therefor; to provide a cover having a nozzle and pouring spout coacting therewith, portions of said spout and nozzle being scored to formopenings therethrough; and to provide such other improvements in construction and desirable features in operation as will appear more fully from the following description.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating this invention,
Figure 1 is a plan viewfof a portion of a can I iorm of'nozzle and plug construction;
Figure '7 is a plan view of the plug shown in Figure 6; 7 Figure 8 isa'sectional view showing a further modification;
Figure 9 isaisectional view showing a modilied form ofspout and nozzle;
; Figure 1015' a sectional view showing another modified ter and I Figure his a plan'viewot the plug shown in .Figure 1c. "5
The can or pail 12 is provided with a cover 13 which maybe permanently secured, thereto or which may be secured by means of tabs 14 or in 'any other well known manner. Heretoiore it has been a common practice to depress the inner portions or the covers which permits stacking oi the However, in my improved construction the central or main portion. 15 of the cover is raised,
rounding wall 1'7 provides a protected recess for the nozzle and spout. The nozzle or outlet 18 is formed integrally with the cover 13 and projects downwardly-as shown in Figure 3. The bottom wall of the nozzle is preferably scored so that a portion thereof 19 may be knocked out or bent inwardly to provide a hole for the outlet of the contents. A portion of the side wall may also be scored so that a lip or section 20 may be punched or knocked inwardly to providea vent hole 21;
The spout 22 has an annular body portion with a projecting lip 23 which is adapted to project out over the top edge of the can as shown in Figure 4. The spout is swiveled or rotatably mounted in operative relation with the pouring nozzle so that it maybe turned from a shipping position as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1, to a pouring position as shown in full lines. In the form'shown in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive, a portion of the nozzle or cover extending upwardly through a hole 24 in the bottom of the spout is bent or riveted over'to provide a head or fiange 25 which engages closely with the upper surface of the adjacent portion of the spout in order to make a substantially tight joint while at the same time permitting rotation of the spout with respect to the nozzle.
When the cans are filled for shipping, the knock-out sections of the nozzle will be in their original or closed position so as to present an imperforate cover. The spout will be turned in to the protectedposition for shipping and this will also permit the stacking of the containers without injury thereto. When the user wishes to remove the contents he presses or punches in the sections 19 and 20 to provide an outlet orifice and a vent and if desired another section 26 adjacent to the inner surface of the cover at the outer part of the nozzle may be scored so that it may be punched inwardly to provide an orifice 27 to permit final draining of the can.
In order to close the can after these knock-outs have been made, I provide a screw cap or plug 28 having lugs or sectional threads 29 which are adapted to engage with coacting lugs or sectional threads 30 in the nozzle 18 so that when the cap is turned it may be screwed or forced tightly in closing position. The cap has a handle 31 for turning the same and is provided with a fiange 32 which engages with a gasket 33 to make a tight closure between the cap and the top or can asshown particularly in Figure 3. Inthe -form shown in Figure 6, the nozzle 34 is made in the form of a cup having a flange. 35 which is seamed or otherwise joined to a neck 36 projecting upwardly from the cover 37. This neck projects through a hole 38 in the spout 39 and the seam or joint also makes a closure between the nozzle and spout while permitting the swiveling or rotation of the spout as heretofore described The bottom of the cup 34 is scored or marked to provide a punch-out or lip 40 which may be punched in when the user desires to open the can and is alsoprovided with a scored portion 41 which may be punched in to form a vent at the back of the nozzle. handle 43 is provided for closing the outlet and protecting the contents of the can.
The form shown in Figure 8 is substantially identical with the form shown in Figure 6 with the exception that the sides of the cup or nozzle 44 are screw threaded to receive a screw threaded cap or plug 45 which has a flange 46 for'engagement with a gasket or washer 4'? to make a more tight closure. a
In the arrangement shown in Figure 9 the cover 48 has an integrally formed inwardly extending nozzle'portion 49 for receiving a similarly shaped coacting bodyportion 50 of the spout 51, the inner portion of the spout being annularly expanded as shown in order to hold it in position while permitting the swiveling or turning of the same. In this construction the bottom of the nozzle portion is scored to provide a knock-out section 52 to form an outlet opening 53. The bottom of the spout is also scored or marked to provide a section 54 which may be raised in order to give access to the scored section of the nozzle, a
rivet or handle 55 being provided for convenience in lifting the same. This form may also be provided with a knock-out section 56 for a vent, if desired.
Figure 10 illustrates a form in which the can or pail top 57 has an outlet or nozzle 58 which extends inwardly and tapers or flares outwardly toward the lower end to receive a correspondingly formed projection 59 on the lower body portion of the spout 60 which is thus rotatably secured therein. The annular body portion of the spout is provided with threads or lugs 61 to receive coacting tapered lugs or threads 62 on a cap or plug 63 as shown particularlyin Figure 11. A gasket 64 may be insertedbetween plug or cap and the bottom portion oi the nozzle to make a tight closure. In this form the bottom portion of the nozzle is also scored to provide a knock-out or detachable section 65 which is pressed inwardly to form the outlet opening as shown.
From this description it will be seen that I provide a novel container which is adapted to have the desirable features set forth and the various modifications indicate the possibilities of different embodiments of the invention. However it will be noted that the essential features of the invention may be embodied in still other forms and therefore I do not wish to be limited to the particular constructions herein shown and described except as specified in the following claims, in which I claim:

'7. A can or pail structure including a cover having an opening therethrough defined by a neck, a cup shaped outlet engaging with the opening and having a flange formed into a locking seam with the neck, a spout pivotally engaging the neck and held by said seam, said spout being adapted to project over the side of the cover when in pouring position and to be turned, inwardly when in non-pouring position, and a cap for closing said outlet.
8. A container having a top of sheet metal with- .is' rotatively mounted on the nozzle.
