Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
JOHN R. COMPTON AND CROWELL M. TOMS, OF RAHWAY, N. J., ASSIGNORS TO THEMSELVES AND ALBERT ASMANN, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN OIL-CANS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 103,428, dated May 24, 1870.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN R. COMPTON and CRowELL M. rfoMs, of Rahway, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cans; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.
The figure is a side view of a can to which our improvement has been attached, partly in section to show the construction.
Our invention has for its object to furnish an improved can for containing kerosene-oil and other liquids which shall be so constructed as to open the discharge and ventilating orifices automatically when the can is inclined to pour out the liquid, and to close them also automatically when the can is raised to a vertical position; and it consists in the construction and combination of the various parts by which this is effected, as hereinafter more fully described.
A represents the body of the can, about the construction of which there is nothing new.. B is the discharge-spout, which is made in two parts, which parts may be permanently or detachably secured to each other.
Upon the outer end of the lower part of the spout B is formed a seat for the small ball C, which, when the can is inclined to pour out the liquid, drops from its seat and allows the liquid to iiow out past it.
The ball C is kept from rolling so far down the spout B as to close it and prevent the outiiow of the liquid by means of a stop-pin, b', passed through the said spout, as shown in the figure.
By this construction, as soon as the can A is raised into an upright position the ball C drops back to its seat, closing the dischargeorifce of the can.
D is the stopper, which is fitted into the tubular mouth of the can, and is secured in place by a screw-thread or friction, as may be desired. The stopper D is made hollow, and has a hole formed through its top and bottom for the admission of air when pouring out the liquid.
In the hollow interior of the stopper is placed a ball, E, which, when the can is in an upright position, rolls down over and closes the orifice in the bottom of the stopper leading into the can.
When the can is inclined to pour out the liquid, the ball E rolls from its seat and allows the air to pass freely into the can, allowing the liquid to flow out through the spout B.
Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The spout B B, formed in two parts, one fitting over the other, and provided with the ball, valve-seat, and stop-pin, as and for the purpose described.
2. The divided spout B B, having ball, valve-seat, and stopper, combined with body A and hollow perforated stopper D, having ball-valve and valve-seat, all combined, constructed, and relatively arranged to form an improved oil-can, asset forth.
The above specitication of our invention signed by us this 25th day of February, 1870.
