JACKETED MEASURING CAN Filed June 21, 1950 Patented May 9, 1933 GEORGE A. SEXION, F WINCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS JACKETED MEASURING CAN Application filed .Tune 21,

This invention relates to measuring cans in which predetermined charges of gasoline or other liquid, are delivered to users thereof.

The object of the invention is to provide at aminimum cost, a measuring can and a jacket therefor, assembled to provide adequate protection of the can and prevent llability of indentation thereof and decrease 1. of its holding capacity, by any reasonable usage.

Of the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification,-

Figure 1 is a sectional view of a jacketed can embodying the invention.

Figure 2 is an enlargement of a portion of Figure 1.

Figure 3 shows in perspective the body, breast, and neck of the can.

Figure 4 shows in perspective the body. breast, and handle of the jacket.

Figure 5 shows in perspective the acket flange shown in section by Figures 1 and 2, a portion being broken away.

The same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of the figures.

12 designates the body, 13 the bottom, 1 1 the breast, and 15 the neck of a cylindrical sheet metal can. The bottom 13 is in this in 30 stance provided with a downwardly projecting annular centering foot 16 joined to the lower end of the body, the inner side of said foot providing an annular inwardly facing surface portion 16.

17 designates the body, and 20 the breast of a cylindrical sheet metal jacket enclosing the can as shown by Figure 1, the jacket breast being positively attached at 21, as by solder, to the neck of the can. The jacket 40 body has an extension 17 projecting below the bottom end of the can.

When the can and jacket are assembled and connected at 21, the can body and breast are spaced apart as shown by Figure 1.

projecting inwardly from the upper edge of said cylindrical portion.

The shelf bears loosely on the bottom end of the can, said end'being in thisinstance formed by the bottom of the foot 16. The shelfsupports downward end thrust of the can, and has an upwardly projecting annular abutment portion 23 hearing on a complemental annular surface. portion on the. can to prevent sidewise movement of the can in the jacket, said complemental surface portion being in this instance the inwardly facing surface portion 16.

The shelf is only wide enough to permit it to support end thrust and prevent sidewise movement of the can, and surrounds a relatively large opening under the can bottom, so that the ring is of minimum weight and does not add objectionably to the weight of the receptacle.

The one-piece ring is quickly attachable as a unit to the jacket extension, so that after the can and jacket have been connected at 21, the operation required to complete the receptacle involves only the insertion of the 7 ring portion 24 and its shelf portion 18 in the jacket extension, and the insertion of the rivets 19.

Said ring includes a curled annular lower portion 25 integral with the cylindrical por- 80. tion 24:, and projecting outwardly therefrom, under the jacket extension 17 and upwardly over a portion of the external surface of said extension. Said curled portion guards the lower end of the extension 17, 853 so that it cannot injure the hands of a per son manipulating the receptacle, the curled portion constituting a suitable hand grip.

The can neck may have a spout .30 supported by a brace 31. The jacket may have a handle 28 pivoted to ears 29 fixed to the jacket breast. The jacket ened by corrugations 27 I claim:
