NORMAN R. KRAUSE AND ROBERT ANDERSON, OF RACINE, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNORS TO J". I. CASE THRESHING MACHINE COMPANY, OF RACINE, WISCONSIN, A CORPORA- TION.
OIL-CAN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 1, 1916.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, NORMAN R. Kramer: and ROBERT ANDERSON, citizens of the county of Racine and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Cans, of which the following is a specification.
The object of our invention is to produce a safety can for containing gasolene and similar explosive oils, and it consists in certain details of construction and arrangements of parts whereby we provide an efficient and durable receptacle which includes features of convenience and safety, all as will be hereinafter more fully specified.
In the accompanying drawing, which forms a part hereof, Figure 1 is a side elevation, partially in section, of an oil can embodying our improvements; Fig. 2, a fragmentary plan; Fig. 3, a detail section on the dotted line 33 in Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view of the can body showing a hand-hold affixed thereto.
In said drawing the portions marked 5 indicate the can body, which is reinforced in its bottom by rolling the edge of its material about a metal rod, as 6; the can being provided with ears, 7, in which is mounted a bail, 8, and also a hand-hold, 9, as usual. At the upper end of the body 5, which is preferably dome shaped, we provide a spout, 10, increasing in size toward its lower end and which embodies a preferably elongated vent channel, 11, increasing in size toward its lower end and which communicates with a vent tube, 12, of gradually increasing size toward its outer end. Said vent tube 12 is provided with a wire gauze screening, 13, at its outer end, the lower end of spout 10 being also provided with a similar screening, 14:, which permit the free passage of air and oil and prevent fire from entering into the can, as will be readily understood. Integrally formed with or connected to spout 10 are a pair of oppositely disposed ears, 15, between which by a pin, 16, is a pivotally mounted lever, 17, having a shoulder, 18. Also pivotally mounted at 19, between said ears 15 is a cover, 20, for said spout 10, which is provided with a leather or other suitable gasket, 21, to form a gas-tight joint for said spout. Said cover 20 terminates in an extension, 22, with which said lever shoulder 18 contacts. The pivot 19 for cover 20 also carries a coiled spring which terminates in a forwardly extending arm, 25, adapted by pressure to automatically return and retain said cover securely in position when seated on said spout 10. A handle, 26, is also provided which is mounted at one end, at 27, in cars 15 and its opposite end is secured to the can, at 28, which handle acts as a shield for lever 17 to prevent accidental displacement of cover 20 and also provides a convenient means for operating said lever when filling the can or pouring oil therefrom.
In operating our improved can, lever 17 is pulled upwardly, which causes its shoulder 18 to engage the cover extension 22 and raise cover 20 to the position indicated by dotted lines, which is its limit of movement, as the movement of said extension is stopped by said spout 10, which arrangement insures that said cover will not become locked in open position. By providing the vent channel of gradually increasing area, and the spout larger at its lower end, the contents of the can are quickly emptied as ample space permits the rapid outflow of the oil while the vent affords a ready passage for the air, and the can also can be filled rapidly, as the displaced air flows freely through said vent. The spring-controlled cover prevents leakage against pressure of the liquid in case the can is inadvertently tipped over, and insures that the gases from the oil if powerful enough at times to raise the cover will be permitted to escape until the condition is normal, when said cover will become automatically seated in gastight condition.
We claim as our invention:
1. An oil can having a body, a spout connected thereto increasing in size toward its lower end said spout having a channel extending through its wall, a vent tube in said body communicating with said channel and increasing in size toward its free end, ears mounted upon said spout, a cover for said spout mounted in said ears and having an extension, and a lever also mounted in said ears and having a shoulder whereby when said lever is raised said shoulder contacts with said extension to raise said cover.
2. An oil can having a body, a channeled spout connected thereto, a screen in the lower end of said spout, a vent tube connected to said spout channel and having its free end screened, ears mounted upon said spout, a cover for said spout mounted in said ears, a lever mounted in said ears and adapted when raised to contact with said cover and raise the same from said spout, a spring mounted in said ears and contacting with said cover to return the same to closed position, and a shield over said lever to prevent accidental opening of said cover.
3. An oil can having a body, a channeled spout connected thereto having a screen in its lower end, a vent tube communicating with said spout channel and having its free end screened, ears mounted upon said spout, a cover for said spout mounted in said ears, a lever also mounted in said ears and disconnected from said cover and adapted to contact therewith to raise and maintain the same in unlocked position, a shield over said lever to prevent accidental opening of said cover, and a spring mounted in said ears and normally contacting with said cover to return and maintain the same in closed position.
In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
