PAPER RECEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters-Patent.

Patented June 22, 1909.

Application 1ed- September 5, 1908. Serial No. 451,818.

To all 'whomjitfmay concer/rb:

Be-it known that I, HARRY E. DILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Paper Receptacles, of' whichthe. following is a specification.

My invention relates to paper-receptacles, end particularly to aper bottles-to contain liquids, such; as mi k, syrups, etc., but is more especially an improvement uponv the structure shown and described in patent to John H. Hanks, No.,667,218, dated February. 5,- A1901'.

Theobject of the invention is to provide a bottle which will be simple in construction, cheap, and durable.

further primary object is to so improve the structure. of theabove mentioned patent that the upper portion of the bottle will be'materially strengthened to enable it to resist the pressure ,f to which Vit is subjected when used with the usual bottle filling machines. i

A further primary object is to provide efficient means for securing or sealing the Alid or cover of the receptacle.

With the above primary and other incidental objects in view the invention consists of the parts means, and construction, or their e uivalents as hereinafter described and set orth in the claims. l

Referringto the drawin s, Figure l isa side elevation of the bott e partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the u per portion of the assembled bottle with t e cover or cap removed. Fig. 3 is a sectional .view of the cover or cap removed from the bottle. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the upper portion of the bot- Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view of. the flange or collar before being secured within the neck of the bottle.

Like parts are indicated by similar characters vof reference throughout the several vleWs.

In the drawing, l is the body of the bottle formed from a paper blank of suitable shape.` The body 1s substantially cone shape and is rovided with a bottom 2 shown 1n dotted lines in F l, secured as described in the aforementioned patent of said Hanks, or in any other suitable manner. i

It has been found in practice that when` the same.

the. bottle, as constructed according to the aforementioned patent, is used with the bottle filling machines and also in general usage, the top of vthe bottle becomes broken or crushed. This difhculty has been overcome in the present construction in the following manner: Located in the neck of the bottle is a collar or flange shown in detail in Fig. 5, which is stamped from a paper blank and is substantially cup shaped. In the present construction this collar or Hange is inserted within the bottle with the edge 4 uppermost, whereby the walls of the bottle adjacent to the top thereof are of double thickness, as at 5. The extreme edge of the walls of the bottle l projects beyond the flange or collar 3, and are folded inward over the upper edge 4 of said collar as shown at G.

"On account of the, inclination or conical shape of the bottle, the diameter of the upper end thereof is less than the diameter of the bottle on the plane a: m, to which such projecting end is folded, thereby forming an internal rib about the mouth of the bottle under which the cap or lid 7 is engaged when in place. The cap 7 is a cup shaped body stamped from a single paper blank and of less diameter than the orifice of the bottle whereby it will pass through the mouth of the bottle and rest upon the flange or collar o. The stamping operation crimps the edge Aof cap 7 rendermg same somewhat elastic,

whereby the edge of the cap 7 will tend to expand, causing'the cap to project below the inturned edge of the bottle, thus effectually sealing the vessel.

When the cap is in place in the bottle as shown in Fig. 4, the mturned edge of the bottle walls overhang the upper edge of the cup shaped cap 7, and any dirt or foreign matter comin 1n contact with the bottle will be deflected y the inturn'ed edge of the bottle walls to the center of the cap, and the entrance of such foreign matter between the cap and the bottle walls will be effectually prevented. Furthermore, the engagement of the-cap 7 beneath the inturned edge of the bottle wall, due to the expansion ofthe walls of said cap, forms a lock for the cap which is continuous throughout the entire periphery of the bottle mouth and prevents the removal of the cap without destroying Thus, the construction serves as a seal for the bottle, and any tampering therewith or attempting to remove the cap "ill will be plainly indicated by the mutilationn of the same.

From the above description it will be apparent that there is produced a bottle of the characterdescribed in the aforementioned patent, in which the upper edge is materially strengthened, being provided with a double wall above the supporting collar and a continuous internal locking ange and other features of advantage before mentioned as desirable, which is susceptible of modilication in its form, proportion, detail, construction, and arrangement of parts without departing from the principle involved, or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

l. In a paper receptacle as described, a vessel having a circular mouth or orice, a cup shaped collar secured within said vessel adjacent 'tothe mouth thereof, said collar having its peripheral flange projecting up- -ward toward e, the mouth of the receptacle,

thereby forming a double wall, a cup shaped cap adapted to be pressed within the mouth of said vessel, substantially as specified.

2. In a paper vesselas described, a receptacle having a circular mouth, a cup shaped collar located in said receptacle adjacent to the mouth thereof, a continuous internal locking flange formed by folding inward the extreme edges of the lvessel wall upon the peripheral flange of said cup shaped vcollar and a cup shaped cap adapted to be pressed within the mouth of said receptacle and rest upon said collar, said cap being secured in position by the expansion of the walls thereof beneath said' internal `iange, sub- `the peripheral ange of said collar, a cup shaped cap of the lsizesubstantially equal to the receptacle orifice adapted to be pressed within said orice until its rests upon said collar, the walls of said cup being resilient whereby they will expand beneath- :the inturned .edges of the 'receptacle wall, subst-ntially as specified. j

In testimony whereof, I have hereuhto set my hand this 2nd dayof September A. D.
