GARBAGE-CAN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 28, 1914.
Application filed. June 19, 1913. Serial N 0. 774,664.
To all whom it may concern:
'Be it known that I, THOMAS A. KEEN, a
which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in 1 garbage cans, and more particularly to a can of the general type illustrated in my copending application Serial No. 7%,750, according:
to which the cover of the can is carried by a bail pivoted to the can body and closes the upper end of the can in a substantially airtight manner, in order to prevent or m11n1- mize decomposition of the contents of the' can, and to prevent the escape of the odors of the garbage.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple device for positively and securely locking the cover in its closed posi' tion and also for locking the can body and bail against relative movement in the closed position of the cover, which device is so combined with the bail that its locking function is automatically established and that it may be operated manually with ease and facility to release the cover when it is desired to move the latter to open position.
An embodiment of the invention is illus-= trated in the accompanying d awings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a can in which the features of the invention are incorporated; Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view thereof; Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the bail and the cover locking device associated therewith; and Fig. f is a detail elevation of the can body.
Similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. a
The can body is shown at 1, and its cover at 2. The cover 2 is preferably designed to contain disinfectant, and is, therefore, relatively deep and provided with an internal compartment 3 in'whieh dismfectant may be stored. Access to the compartment 3 is had through an opening 1 in the base thereof, and the said opening is normally closed by a slide 5 which, however, is provided with perforations through which the disinfectant (which, in the instance disclosed, will be in powdered form) is discharged consequent to the jar or shock occasioned by the engagement of the cover upon its seat. I
In the embodiment shown, the upper edge of the body 1 is in an inclined plane, and is circumscribed by a flange 6 with which the lower edge of the cover 2 engages when the cover comes into closed position, such engagement bein uniform and substantially air tight, in order that dccompositionof the contents of the can and the escape of the odors of the garbage may be prevented.
The cover 2 is carried by a bail 7 which is of inverted U shape, and includes sidebars 8 and a cross bar 9, the latter serving as a handle. The side bars 8 carry the cover 2 and are connected with the annular wall of said cover by rivets or equivalent fastening means. Said side bars, at their lower ends, are pivoted adjacent the bottom of the body 1. S mcing sleeves 10 preferably surround the pivots of the side bars 8 and hold said side bars in proper relation to the body 1.
For the purpose of positively locking the cover in closed position, a latch 11 of inverted U shape is employed, the said latch including side bars 12 and a cross bar 13. The side bars 12 at their lower ends have inturned extensions 14 which terminate in upwardly directed lugs 15 for engagement through openings 16 provided at diametrically opposite points of the flange 6.
The latch 11 is coplanar with the bail 7 but it is of greater width than said bail, the side bars 8 of the latter being provided with upper and lower slots 17 through which the cross bar 13 and the extensions 14- project, and in which said cross bar and said extensions have movement. The latch 11 is held in its uppermost position by springs, and for this purpose it is preferred to interpose rctractile coil springs 18 between the cross bar 13 of the latch and the cross bar 9 of the hail, the ends of said springs being connected to said respective cross bars.
The openings 16 are so located that when the cover 2 assumes its full closed position, said openings will aline with the lugs 15 of the latch 11 and it follows that the springs 18 will raise the latch whereby to engage said lugs in the openings 16, as shown in Fig. 2. In this way, the cover 2 is positively latched in closed position, and accidental displacement thereof is impossible.
It follows that the security of theengagement of the cover upon the flange 6, once es--. tablished, is positively maintained; .When: the contents of the can are to be discharged,
the latch 11 is depressed against the tension of the springs 18, whereby to disengage thelugs l5vfrom the openings 16, and thereafter, the bail is moved pivotally, in orderthat the cover may clear the upper end of the canfl, In closing the can, the bail is swung to bring the cover into closed position, and 'in the course of the movement of the bail, the lugs 15 ultimately engage under the flange 6 and ride along the under face of the flange until the cover is fully closed, at which time said lugs aline with the openings 15 and the latch is raised by the springs 18.
The latch 11 not only looks the cover in] closed position upon the can, but it locks the can body to the bail. In this way the can may be readily carried from place to place, the cross bars 9 and 13, in combined relation, furnishing a convenient hand grip.
Having fully described my invention, I claim: j

ing a cross bar and side bars depending from,
the cross bar and pivoted at their lower ends; to said body, a can cover carried by the bail; at its upper end, a latch carried by the bail" and constructed to coaot with the upper end of the can body in looking the body, bail, and cover against relative movement in the closed position of the cover, and spring means for operating said latch in its locking function, the latch including a bar parallel to the cross bar of the bail and in conjunc tion with said cross bar forming a hand grip, the said bar of the latch being operable to effect the release of the bail and therewith of the can cover from the can body.
