REMOVABLE CAP FOR OIL-CAN S.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 10, 1914.
App1ioation filed December 1, 1913. Serial N 0. 804,074.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, AIBERT E. AINsLIn, citizen of the United States, residing at Brashear, in the county of Adair and State of Missouri, (whose post-ofi ice address is Brashear, Missouri,-) have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Removable Caps for Oil- Cans; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in removable caps adapted to be applied to the spouts of oil cans of common construction and its main object is to provide a simple, strong and elfective device of the character described which need only be formed in two arts.
With the above and other objects in View, the invention resides in the structure herein described and claimed and shown in the drawings wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of an oil can showing my improved cap applied to the spout thereof; Fig. 2 is a similar view, on an enlarged scale, of a portion of the can; and Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the resilient fastening member for the cap.
In the accompanying drawings, I have shown an oil can 1 of ordinary construction being provided with the usual spout 2.v Although forming no part of the present invention, these parts closely coact therewith.
Coming now more particularly to details, the numeral 3 designates broadly a coil spring which as shown, has its lower end reduced as at 4: for a purpose to appear.
The free upper end of the wire forming the spring 3 is bent upwardly as at 5, formed with a hook 6, then extends downwardly and to the opposite side of the spring where it isgiven a plurality of coils 7 around they upper convolution of the spring 3. This end then extends upwardly from the coil 7, is formed into a hook 8 and then projects downwardly and is secured at 9 at a point above the spring 3.
A cap 10 having a depending flange 11 and being provided'with a packing 12 on its inner side is adapted ,to seat over the open end of the spout 2. Said depending flange is provided with oppositely disposed openings 13 through which pass the hooks 6 and 8 carried by the spring 3.
In practice, the reduced end A of the spring 3, is made of slightly less diameter than the diameter of the spout to which it is to be applied, while the upper portion of the spring 3 is of considerably greater diameter than the spout 2. Thus it will be seen that by unwinding the coils of the spring 4 to a proper extent, said spring may be slipped over the spout 2 and on account of its size, it will securely hold the device upon said spout 2. It will then be obvious that the upper portion of the spring 3 is free to expand when it is desired to remove the cap 10.
Although I have shown the retaining and expansion springs and the vertical arms of my device as formed of one piece of wire, it will be obvious that I need not be limited to this construction.
The caps and retaining springs may be formed in any number of sizes for application to different sized can spouts but, I find that by manufacturing them in three sizes, they will accommodate most cans .on the market.
What I claim is: v
A removable closure for can spouts comprising a cap having oppositely disposed apertures in the sidewalls thereof, a coiled spout-encircling spring composed of a single strand of wire coiled to form a larger and a smaller end, the small portion being of uniform diameter throughout, said wire being extended longitudinally at opposite sides of the outer convolution of the larger portion and bent to form loops provided at their outerends with hooks, the outer terminal of said wire being coiled around the v outer convolution of the larger portion of the coil and then around the portion connecting the hook-carrying loops, said hooks being adapted to detachably engage the ap- ALBERT EDWARD AINSLIE.
