ELIZABETH COOHRANE SEAMAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y..

MILK-CAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part 0f Letters Patent No. 697,553, dated April 15, 1902. Original application filed January 30, 1901, Serial No. 45.303. Divided and this application filed December 7, 1901. Serial To (LH whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH COOHRANE SEAMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Milk-Cans, of which the following' is a specication.

My invention relates to milk-cans, and has for its object to produce a milk-can having a double neck composed of a neck member projecting from the breast and a neck member projecting from the bowl, the said two neck members overlapping each other throughout their entire extent, or substantially throughout their entire extent, and presenting a smooth interior surface.

In the accompanying drawingslhave shown two forms of can in which my invention is embodied.

In Figure I, I have shown one form of can wherein the neck member of the breast overlaps the neck member `of the bowl; and in Fig. II, I have shown a can in which the neck member of the bowl overlaps the neck member of the breast.

In Fig. I, a indicates the bowl of the can; b, the breast thereof, which may be of any suitable construction. The breast member is' provided with a neck member c, which receives a neck member d of the bowl, the neck member c being integral with the breast and v the neck member d being integral with the bowl. The neck member d fits closely within the neck member c and has its lower edge chamfered or beveled in order to lie smoothly against the inner face of the neck member of the breast and to present no appreciable edge to form a shoulder or crevice where impurities could accumulate. The joint formed by the lower edge of the neck member of the bowl is smoothly wiped with solder in the usual manner.

In the form shown in Fig. I the neck member of the breast is provided with a flange e,

(No model.)

which laps or contacts with a portion of the bowl a.

I n the form shown in Fig.' Il the bowl a is provided with a neck member d', and the breast b is provided with a neck member c. This neck member c tits closely into the neck member of the bowl and has its upper edge thinned, chamfered, or beveled, so as to present no appreciable edge to form a shoulder where impurities could collect. .The neck member d is provided with a flange e', which contacts with or engages the bowl.

This application is a division of my applica*- tion, Serial No. 45,303, filed January 30, 1901.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s V l. A milk-can having a breast member and a bowl member, the breast member and bowl member being each formed of a single thickness of metal and each provided with a rigid` integral neck member, said neck members overlapping throughout substantially their entire extent to form a double neck the inner neck member stopping short of overlapping the outer neck-member, the inner neck member having itsfree edge chamfered or beveled in order to avoid the formation of a recess liable to hold impurities.

2. A milk-can having a breast member and a bowl member, the breast member being formed of a single thickness of metal and provided with a rigid integral neck member, the bowl member also having a neck member, said members overlapping throughout substantially their entire extent to form a double neck, the inner neck member having its free edge chamfered or beveled in order to avoid the formation of a recess liable to hold impurities, the other neck member having a bent portion engaging the other part of lthe can.
