Description

P. TEETS.
Milk Can.`
Patentedl May-I 28, 1861.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PHILIP TEETS, OF NEW' YORK, N. Y.
IMPRovED MILK-CAN.
I Y Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 32,1139, dated May 2S, 1861.
l the cover on it.
Similarl letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.`
To enable those skilled iu the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
The cylindrical body A, breast B, bowl C, and cover D of the milk-can are all made of thick tinned iron, which is made expressly for the purpose, and in constructing these parts and putting them together it is desirable to avoid `joints as much as possible,`and thereby give greater strength to the can, and at the same time render the construction thereof simple and economical.
rIhe breast, bowl, and cover portions'ofi'nilkcans have each hitherto been constructed of a number of pieces which are soldered together, leaving a great number of joints, which make the cans very difficult to clean on the inside a-s well as outside. Besides, the old cans are not sufficiently strong to withstand the rough usage they receive in their transportation. The breast B is made of sheet metal, which is cut ot' a circular shape and submitted to stampingdies, which give the desired convex or tapering shape to this breast portion.r
(Shown in Figs. l and 2 of the drawings.) rIhe bowl C is also formed of a sheet of metal by submitting this sheet between stampingdies of the desired shape, which give the dan ing form to the ends of the bowl. -The lower or smaller flaring edge of the bowl C is now introduced within the upper end of the breast B, and the two portions-breast and bowl are soldered together, after which the two lapping edges c and c are tiled down, so as to leave a smooth surface at the joint inside and outside of the can. I thus dispense with the hooped neck hitherto interposed between can easily be united, so as to form a close joint, as described, and shown in Figs. l and 2 of the drawings. The lower edge of breast B is turned out, so as to forni a wide flange on y it, and .a similar flange is formed on the top edge of the body or cylindrical portion A of the can. rlhe two iianges are now brought together and both are turned over, so as to form a double-seam joint, b, which is meshed closely to the side of portion'A, as shown in Fig.` 2. A strong tinned irou` hoop, E, is now driven down on portion A over the seam b, as shown in Fig. 2 ot' the drawings, and this hoop E will completely cover the seam. The parts fabout the hoop are now covered with solder, which secures the hoop in place and precludes water from between the hoops and surface of the portion A. The hoops F and G to strengthen the can are now put on in the usual manner. The upper edge ofthe bowl C is turned over a wire, which strengthens and gives a` finished appearance to it. rlhe coverD is also made of one piece of sheet metal, stamped into the proper shape by machinery suitably adapted to the purpose, after which the cup or cylindrical portion Gl is soldered to the cover in the usual manner. This portion G is used to keep the cover D on the can, and to prevent the milk from splashing out of the can.
In the usual way of making can-covers the top of the cover is made of one or more pieces, and a hoop is seamed around the edge of this top portion, so as to form the sides ofthe cover. I dispense with seams orjoints, and draw down the sides in the process of forming the cover, so that the entire cover is of one piece of sheet metal.
H is a handle which is riveted on the top of cover D, andJ J are side handles which areV attached by metal strips c c to the hoop E, and which are used in lifting the can.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
As a new and improved article of manufacture, the milk-can herein described and represented. l
