NITED STATES SMITH MADISON JOHNSON, OF MIDDLEFIELD, OHIO.
CONTAINER.
Application filed ma 5, 1924. Serial No. 711,078.
This invention relates in general to containers, and more particularly to that type of container especially designed for use as a paint pail.
The object of the invention is to provlde a container of this character having a body portion of substantially uniform cross section so as to present what is known 1n the trade as a straight side drum, a feature of importance and advantage in handling as well as in printing labels, descriptive matter or the like on the container, and also being so constituted and organized that the containers may be stacked when either empty or filled in such manner as to present a well balanced and stable column, the containers being also so constructed as to be sealed against the ingress of dust and forei matter when empty and stacked.
A rrther object is to provide 3. containor of this character and having these advantages and capacities and which is also of simple, durable and practical construction and ada ted to be manufactured at a comparative y slight expense from material and by means of facilities ordinarily available.
Other objects and advantages of the invention reside in certain novel features of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this speci cation, and in which:
Figure 1 is a view, partly in section and partly in elevation,-showing the containers embodying the present invention as they appear when empty and stacked; and
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, showing how filled containers are stacked.
Referring to the drawings it will be seen that the container consituting the present invention comprises a body portion 5 of substantially erably cylindrical. All of the parts of the container are preferably constructed of steel or other suitable metal or material having the requisite resiliency and other properties. The lower end of the container is reduced and presents a reduced and depending annular flange 6 to which a bottom 7 is ap lied. Of course the bottom 7 is of smaller diaun eter than the diameter 5 of the cylinder due to the fact that the lower end of the body portion which is constituted by the annular uniform cross section and prefflange 6 is smaller than the body portion proper. An annular outwardly extending rounded corrugation 8 is formed in the body portion 5 adjacent its lower end and cont'guous with the flange'6. This corrugation 8 merges into the bottom 7 and by eliminating sharpangles between the bottom 7 and the body portion of the container facilitates the removal of all ofthe material from the contalner. Y
The upper end of the container is formed with a rim 9 and below the rim 9 and slightly spaced therefrom an annular inwardly dirccted rib or shoulder 10 is provided. The containers as thus constituted are adapted to be stacked when empty and when so stacked presentthe arrangement shown in Figure l with the reduced lower end of one container fitting into the upper open end of the next lower container, the outwardly directed corrugation 8 engaging the rim 9 at all points around the same to support the upper container on the lower and also to keep out dust. A proper bearing of the corrugation 8 on the rim 9 is insured by the action of the ribcr shoulder '10 which coacts with the lower end of the upper container toproperly center the containers and aline their axes. In this manner the containcrs when stacked provide a stable and well balanced column not liable to be tipped over and also adapted to be economical in the use of storage or shipping space. Moreover the conta ners when stacked in this manner are effectively and doubly sealed against the ingress of'dust and foreign matter, a great advantage to paint companies.
When the containers are filled tops designated generally at 12, are applied thereto. The tops 12 include disk like body portions 13 set into the top of the container and having peripheral attaching flan es 14 designed to be engaged with the runs 9 and spun thereto. By setting the body portions 13 of the top down in the containers, as shown in the drawings they are designed to accommodate and receive the reduced lower to the rim 9 so as to eliminate play between adjacent containers and prevent one container from sliding off of the other.
I claim:
1. A container comprising a c lindrical body portion having its lower en reduced and also having an outwardly directed rounded corrugation contiguous with said reduced end, the upper end of the container being designed to receive the reduced lower end of a similar container and'said upper end having a rim adapted to engage and support the outwardly directed corrugation of a similar container, the bod portion having an inwardly directed an inclined centering rib adjacent and below the rim and adapted to directly engage and coact with the reduced end of a similar container to center the containers when stacked and to insure an even bearing and close contact 0 body portion having a flared upper end and I a reduced lower end presenting 9. depending flange, a bottom set in the body portion and secured to the depending flange by a rolled joint, the said flared upper end having an inwardly ofl'set top secured thereto by a rolled joint, said top presentin an annular shoulder adapted to receive and support the rolled joint lower edge of a similar container and center the same in stacked relation.
