I CARL GOTFREDSEN, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
can OPENER Ann nisrm'vsnn.
3 Application filed July 22,
To all whom' it may concern.
State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Can Openers and- Dispensers, of which the following is a specification. l This invention is a combined can opening and dispensing device, and has for its object the provision of a receptacle adapted to receive a can to be opened, the lid of said receptacle forming means for puncturing a can and also forming a discharge spout through which the contents of the can may be poured.
More particularly it is the object of the invention to provide a construction of this character havlng improved means for forcing the can puncturing means through the top thereof and then retaining the lid of the receptacle in closed position.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide improved means for forming an air vent in the can at the same time that the discharge spoutis adapted to puncture the top of the can.
The invention will be readily understood from the following description of the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a-device constructed in accordance with the invention. I
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same.
The invention is particularly applicable to the dis ensing of the contents of cans of condense milk, such a dam being-shown at 1-.
A receptacle adapted to receive the'can 1 is shown at 2, the lid for said receptacle being shown at 3. A stri 4 extends across the top of the lid 3 an beyond one edge 1 thereof to form the hinge connection 5 with in upright non-pouring) the receptacle 2. A discharge spout ada ted to uncture the top of can 1 is supports by str1p 4 and extends through the lid 3. The portion 6 of this s out which extends above strip 4 is, prefera ly, inclined at a suitable angle for pouring the contents of can 1 and may be provided with a hinged-lid 7 adapted to close by gravity when the receptacle is position, and also adapted to swing open y gravit when the receptacle is'tilted for pouring t e contents of the can.
The portion 8 of the discharge spout depending below the lid 3 is, preferably, ar-

ranged at such an angle as to puncture the top of can 1 substantially perpendicular thereto as lid 3 is swung downwardly upon its pivot 5. The lower edge of this portion of the discharge spout is, preferably, inclined' with relation to the sides of the spout, as clearly shown at 9, in order to provide a comparatively sharp cutting edge 10 at the side of the discharge spout toward the pivot 5 of lid 3 for causing the initial puncturing of the can.
An air vent 1s supported by strip 4 and.
extends through lid 3 so as to puncture the can l'subsequent to the puncturing of the can by the discharge spout. As an instance ofthis arrangement the air vent is shown positioned upon strip 4 at the end thereof awayfrom pivot 5 and beyond the discharge spout, said vent comprising a tube supported by strip 4 and extending through lid 3. The outer portion 12 of this tube is, preferably, bent downwardly against the strip 4', and
the portion 13 of said tube depending from lid 3 is, preferably, disposed so as to puncture the top of can 1 at substantially right angles thereto. The lower edge 14 of the air vent tube is also, preferably, inclined so as to form a cutting edge 15' at the side thereof toward hin e 5. By this arrangenient said cutting e tial puncturing of t 0 can top as lid 3 is swung downwardly upon its pivot.
The means employed for swingin 'lid 3 upon its pivot may consist of a ink. 17 formed as a wire loop extendin through a bearing 18 at the swinging end of strip e will provide the ini- 4 and alsopassin through .an aperturev 19 provided interme iate of the ends of a lever -20 having the handle 21 at its outer end and arranged for pivotal engagement with the receptacle 2 at its inner end. The pivotal engagement provided between lever 20 and .lhaving been placed in receptacle 2, the lid 3 is swung downwardly by depressing the handle 21 of lever 20. During the downward swing of the lever the end 24 thereof will bear against hook 22,'and when the lever has been swung to the position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, the top of can 1 will have been punctured by the discharge spout and the air vent, and the lever will'then be positioned with its lip 23 en gaged by the hook 22. Upward swinging .movement of lid 3 is thus prevented until the lever is again swung outwardly. It will be understood that when the lid 3 is thus swung downwardly the discharge spout and the air vent will each puncture the top of the can so-that'the contents thereof may be subsequently poured through the discharge spout,
the necessary air being admitted to the canthrough the air vent.
' Various changes -may be made without, departing from the spirit of the invention Y to engage an outwardly extending lug fastened to said receptacle so that the lever can draw said lid downwardly against the can and retain the same in position.
2. A can opener and dispenser comprising a receptacle adapted to receive a can, a closure lidhinged to the receptacle, can piercing members carried by the lid, a link connected to the opposite side of the closure lid from the hinge, a lever connected to the link, and a lug upon the oppositeside of the receptacle from the hinge and adapted to be engaged by the lever, so that when the lever is pulled downwardly it passes the center of the fulcrum and is held in its downward position.
.3. A can retaining receptacle havmg a closure lid pivoted to said receptacle, a dis-.-
charge spout mounted in said lid and ing a pivoted link connection with said lid, a lug fastened to said can and adapted to engage the end of said lever as a fulcrum so thatthe lid may be drawn downwardly against the can by said lever.
In testimony whereof'l have signed my name to this specification.
