  (Thomas 
  Levi, 
  New 
  Westminster, 
  British 
  Columbia, 
  Canada; 
  patented 
  April 
  1, 
  1884; 
  

   device 
  for 
  keeping 
  fish, 
  meat, 
  fruit, 
  and 
  other 
  preservjug 
  cans 
  clean 
  while 
  being 
  

   Riled. 
  See 
  Plate 
  CXXXIV.) 
  

  

  A 
  tin 
  case 
  or 
  cylinder 
  to 
  fit 
  over 
  fish, 
  meat, 
  fruit, 
  or 
  other 
  preserving 
  

   cans 
  while 
  being 
  filled. 
  The 
  tin 
  case 
  or 
  cylinder 
  is 
  made 
  one 
  size 
  larger 
  

   in 
  circumference 
  at 
  the 
  top, 
  increasing 
  in 
  size 
  to 
  the 
  bottom, 
  and 
  a 
  size 
  

   shorter 
  in 
  length 
  than 
  the 
  preserving-can, 
  with 
  a 
  rim 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  turned 
  

   inward 
  and 
  downward. 
  When 
  the 
  preserving-can 
  is 
  filled, 
  it 
  is 
  lifted 
  

   by 
  the 
  pressure 
  of 
  the 
  fingers 
  and 
  thumb 
  on 
  the 
  case 
  or 
  cylinder, 
  the 
  

   object 
  being 
  to 
  keep 
  the 
  can 
  while 
  being 
  filled 
  clean, 
  and 
  to 
  enable 
  the 
  

   person 
  filling 
  the 
  preserving 
  can 
  to 
  remove 
  it 
  after 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  filled 
  

   without 
  touching 
  it 
  with 
  his 
  hands, 
  thereby 
  keeping 
  it 
  clean 
  and 
  sav- 
  

   ing 
  labor.

  The 
  inventor 
  says 
  : 
  

  

  " 
  I 
  make 
  no 
  claim 
  to 
  the 
  preserving-can 
  A."
