FLUID CONTAINER Filed Jan. 27, 1961 ATTORN EYS' United States Patent O 3,134,522 FLUID CGNTAINER Heim Shwisha, 49 W. 12th St., New York 11, N Y. naar Jaa. 27, 19ans-1.1%. 85,422 6 Ciaims. (Cl, 222-539) This invention is related to a uid carrying and dispensing can and more particularly is related to an improved gasoline can having superior characteristics.
It has long been the practice to provide gasoline cans, which are adapted to carry and store a quantity of gasoline. These cans can be carried from place to place, and the gasoline therein can be dispensed at any convenient location. Typically, these cans have included spout means which are adapted to be directed and carried within the container and which can be reversed to extend outwardly from the container in order to dispense the gasoline from the can.
Prior art devices of this kind have been known for some time and have, in general, worked satisfactorily. One of the problems with prior devices is that they have not provided a simple, inexpensive and effective sealing when the can is being transported from place to place and the entire can is to be sealed, nor have they provided effective sealing between the container and the spout when the spout is directed outside of the container to dispense the iuid therein. Consequently, it has been the custom in these prior art devices to provide a plurality of gaskets, sealing rings or other similar sealing elements to insure proper sealing between the various elements. The use of these sealing means obviously increased the costs of the container and limited the effective sealing life of these containers to the sealing life of the gaskets and sealing rings.
L1 accordance with this invention means are provided for insuring effective sealing between the can eements. This means, as embodied herein, comprises novel sealing surfaces on the can, spout, sealing element and the cap member. These elements are provided with comple mentary bevelled, or frustro-conical and cylindrical mating surfaces which cooperate to achieve new and unobvious sealing results and substantially eliminate the need for gaskets, sealing rings and other sealing elements. Another advantage of the construction of the present invention is that mating surfaces eliminate the need for expensive and tinte consuming finishing or sizing operations.
Although the novel cooperating and mating surfaces of the present invention are effective irrespective of the materials used, it has been found that superior results are achieved when resilient, wear and corrosion resistant materials are used. Accordingly, as embodied herein, the container and flange of the present invention are made of nylon or polyethylene. On the other hand, the spout, cover cap and sealing element are made from a suitable plastic material such as polyethylene. This material has 'een found to be particularly advantageous where the fluid container carries gasoline. As explained subsequently, the cover cap is removably attached to a ange on the container. The use of these particular materials permits the cover cap to force the various sealing surfaces into tight, overall contact which is substantially leakproof. it will be apparent that the present invention is adapted to carry and dispense any type of huid, although it is particularly adapted for carrying and dispensing gasohne. The novel combination of mating bevelled or frustro-conical surfaces and cylindrical surfaces, as embodied herein, provides a combination wherein an effective seal between the surfaces results irrespective of the position of the spout.
The invention consists in the novel parts, constructions, arrangements, combinations and improvements shown and described.
3,l34,522 Patented May 26, 1964 ICC In view of the foregoing it is an object of this invention to provide an improved huid carrying and dispensing can.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved gasoline can having improved sealing characteristics.
Still another object of this invention is to provide an improved gasoline can including a container, a spout and cap member wherein the container and the spout have mating surfaces cooperating with the cap member for preventing leakage therebetween.
A further object of this invention is to provide an improved gasoline can including a container, and a spout wherein the spout and container include bevelled surfaces for preventing leakage therebetween.
A further object of this invention is to provide an improved gasoline can including a spout, cap member and sealing element wherein the spout, cap member and sealing element have cooperating surfaces thereon for preventing leakage therebetween.
A still further object of this invention is to provide an improved gasoline can including a container, a spout, a cap member and a sealing element wherein the spout, container and sealing element have bevelled or frustroconical mating surfaces for preventing leakage therebetween.
A further object of this invention is to provide an improved gasoline can wherein a spout member can be directed inside of or outside of a gasoline can and wherein mating surfaces are provided for insuring effective sealing irrespective of the position of the spout.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved fiuid can wherein a spout member can be directed inside of or outside of a container and wherein bevelled and cylindrical mating surfaces are provided for insuring elfective sealing irrespective of the position of the spout.
A further object of this invention is to provide an improved gasoline can having improved sealing characteristics wherein certain parts are made of polyethylene and certain of the parts are made of nylon or polyethylene.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned from practice of the invention, the objects and advantages being realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate an embodiment of the invention, and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
Of the drawings:
FGURE l is a vertical section view of the present invention showing the spout located within the container.
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view similar to FIGURE 1 showing the spout member located outside of the container.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and are not restrictive of the invention.
Reference will now be made to the present preferred embodiment of the invention which is illustrated in the drawings.
In accordance with this invention a gasoline can is provided wherein means are provided for storing and dispensing gasoline.
This means, as embodied herein, comprises a container 2 of any desired shape and which is preferably made of nylon or polyethylene. The container 2 includes a circular upstanding flange 4 having threads 6 on the outer circumference thereof which are adapted to be in threaded engagement with the threads S on the cover cap 10. The
. 3 spout member 12 can be located within (FIGURE 1) or without (FIGURE 2) the container as desired.
In accordance with this invention, means are provided for effective sealing of the device. As embodied herein, this means comprises mating surfaces on the container and the spout which cooperate with the cap member when fluid is being dispensed from the container; and, comprises mating surfaces on the container, the spout and the sealing element cooperating with the cap member when fluid is being transported from place to place. As shown in FIGURE l, the free end of the upstanding flange 4 is provided with a bevelled or frnstro` conical outer surface 14. Offset from and parallel to the frustro-conical surface 14 is another frustro-conical or bevelled inner surface 16 which has an angle of 45 preferably. The inner ends of the outer and inner surfaces are connected by a vertical or cylindrical surface 18.
The spout member 12 includes a base 2i) having a bevelled or frustro-conical surface 22 and a flat surface 23 intermediate the frustro-conical surface 22 and the spout 12. A vertical or cylindrical surface 24 merges with the other end of the frustro-conical surface 22 and a plane surface or flat base 25. The inner circumference of the spout is provided with a bevelled or frustro-conical surface 27.
In accordance with this invention, means are provided for completely sealing the container. As embodied in FIGURE l, this means comprises a sealing element 26. The sealing element 26 includes bevelled or frustro-conical surfaces adapted to insure effective sealing of the container. Accordingly, the outer end of the sealing element has a frustro-conical or bevelled surface 28. Radially inwardly spaced from the outer frustro-conical surface 28 is an inner frustro-conical surface 30 forming therebetween a lip 32. The inner end of the sealing element 26 has a spout engaging portion 34. It will be understood that since the spout has a conical shape that the portion 34 has a slight taper in the area of 2 and is, therefore, only substantially cylindrical.
In accordance with this invention means are provided for maintaining the container, the spout member and the sealing element in assembled sealing relationship. This means Yincludes a cover cap having an aperture 36 therein. 'Ihe cover cap 10 includes a depending rounded abutment 38 merging with a tapered or frustro-conical surface 39. It is clear that the bevelled or frustro-conical surface 14 on the ange and the bevelled or frustroconical surface 28V of the sealing element are arranged to provide a tapered or V-shaped space therebetween. Consequently, when the cover cap 10 is threaded onto the ilange the sealing element 26, the spout member 12 and the container ange 4 will be maintained in tight sealing engagement.
With reference to FIGURE 1, it can be seen that when the device is assembled for transporting uid the frustroconical surface 22 and the cylindrical surface 24 of the spout member are in engagement with the inner frustroconical surface 16 and cylindrical surface 18 of the flange member. The lip 32 of the sealing element is then placed in contact with the flat surface 25. Thereafter, when the cap 10 is threadedly attached to the ange the abutment 38 will maintain the container in a completely sealed condition and the surface 39 on the cap will engage surface 28 on the sealing element 26, Since these surfaces are complementary with each other. When the spout member, sealing element and cap cover are made of a suitable plastic such as polyethylene, these elements will be sufficiently resilient to prevent distortion caused by temperature differentials or manufacturing tolerances from negating effective sealing.
In accordance with this invention means are provided for preventing undesired leakage when the device is used to dispense the gasoline. This means is illustrated in FIGURE 2 wherein the spout member is shown directed outside of the container and comprises several of the previously described mating surfaces, which, however,
have had the positions changed.
Thus the cylindrical surface 24 of the spout member is in engagement with the cylindrical surface 18 of the flange member and the bevelled or frustro-conical outer surface 14 of the ange member forms a V-shaped space with the frustro-conical surface 22 of the spout member for receipt of the abutment 38 on the cover cap 10. In this manner the cap cover through the abutment 38 forces the spout member and flange into tight engagement and serves to maintain the spout in sealing engagement with the container so that leakage will be prevented between these surfaces.
- It is to be understood that the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific elements shown and described, but also includes within the scope of the accompanying claims any departures made fromsuch elements which do not sacrifice its chief advantages.
