Improvements in Stoppering Varnish, Oil, Paint Cans and the like.
CHARLES RICHARD GORRINGE, 4, Hornsey Rise Gardens, N., Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in stoppers for varnish, oil, paint cans
and the like, and is an improvement upon my Patent No. 25757, dated 16th
November 1896. The object being to provide a simple and cheap stopper and
the same is carried out as follows:-
I provide a cap having a spring projection attached thereto in any convenient
manner, and which is so shaped and arranged as to engage with two stops or
projections carried in the neck of the oil or paint can or the like, so that when it
is required to secure the stopper or cap it is placed in position upon the neck of
the oil or paint can and rotated for a required distance so as to cause the studs
or projections to engage upon the spring projection aforesaid, which thus secures
the cap or stopper upon the neck of the oil or paint can and so closes same. A
washer of any suitable material is provided in the cap for the purpose of ensuring
a tight joint.

I, CHARLES RICHARD GORRINGE, 4, Hornsey Rise Gardens, N., Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the follow-
ing statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in stoppers for varnish, oil, paint cans
and the like, and is an improvement upon my Patent No. 25757, dated 16th
November 1896. The object being to provide a simple and cheap stopper and
the same is carried out as follows:-
I provide a cap having a spring projection attached thereto in any convenient
manner, and which is so shaped and arranged as to engage with two stops or
projections carried in the neck of the oil or paint can or the like, so that when it

washer of any suitable material is provided in the cap for the purpose of ensuring
a tight joint.
For purposes of illustration, I will now refer to the annexed drawings in
which:
Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation shewing my invention applied to a
varnish can.
Figure 2 sectional side elevation of stopper removed.
Figure 3 view of the neck of a can shewing modified arrangement.
Figure 4 sections through line y in Figure 3.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a is a cap having the spring projection b
attached thereto in any convenient manner, such as by the rivets c, the ends d
of which are shaped as shewn, and set at an inclination in order to ensure the
washer being caused to engage tightly upon the top of the neck e of the can,
this being effected by the engagement of the ends of the spring piece upon
the studs or projections f attached to the neck of the can.
b
The rotation in one direction of the cap a will cause the same to close the neck
of the can, and the rotation in the reverse direction will enable the cap to be
moved.
In Figure 3, instead of the projections attached to the neck of the can I
shape or press the neck of the cam so as to form the projection thereon upon
which the ends of the spring piece engage before. In this case, the projection
is shaped at i so as to prevent the cap or lid being rotated too far. In Figures 1
and 2, this is also effected owing to the bent up end j of the spring piece b.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The stopper for varnish oil, paint cans and the like, substantially as
described and illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
2. In stoppers for varnish, oil, paint cans and the like, a cap carrying a washer
and spring projections, the ends of said projections being adapted to engage
upon studs or projections formed or caused upon the neck of the varnish, oil,
paint can or the like, the ends of said spring projections being so inclined as
to ensure a tight joint between the washer and the top of the neck of the can,
substantially as described and illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
Dated this 16th day of November 1899.
