DISPENSING CAN.

. U0 5. Rhodes 6 Y ATTORNiM v UNITED STATES PA eNroFF1c.E."--
JAY B. RHODES. or KALAMAzoo, MICHIGAN.
v DISPENSING CAAL;
Application filed December 27, 1920. -Seria1 No. 43 3,262.
To all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, J AY B. RHODES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kala.-
' tails.
mazoo, county of Kalamazoo, State. of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dispensing Cans, of winch the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in dispensing cans.
My improved dispensing can is especially designed by me for thehandling of lubricants such as in the sale of lubricants to motorists where the lubricant is poured into the crank case or lubricant receptacle of an automobile.
The main objects of this invention are:
First, to provide an improved dispensing can by means of which lubricant may be conveniently discharged into the crank case or other lubricant receptacle of a motor vehicle at a rate permitting it to pass through the screened intake and without dripping on the floor or vehicle, and further without soiling the hands of the person .manipulating the same, and the effective avoidance of clog or drip at the vent.
Second, to providea, dispensing can in which an ordinary Mason fruit jar may be used as the receptacle or container, the contents being visible within the receptacle.
' Third,'to provide an improved dispensing can which may be filled by means of a meas uring pump without removing the cap.
Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.
I accomplish the'objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification; The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.
A structure which is the preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing forming a part of this specification, in which:
Fig. I is a side view of my improved dispensing can with the parts broken away and vertically sectioned to show structural de- Fig. II is a detail view illustrating the manner of using the can.
Fig. III is a detail view, showing the can completely inverted.
In thedrawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts'throughout the several views. 7
Referring to the drawing the measuring receptacle 1 is-preferab jar of the well known Iason type being very satisfactory.
I provide a dome shaped cap 2 having a central dlscharge and filling spout 3. The cap is threaded upon the receptacle although of glass, a fruit it is not necessary to remove it inorder to fill the receptacle.
It is usual in dispensing lubricants t0 motorists to measure the lubricant by means of a measuring pump. The spout of the pump may discharge into the spout 3.
I provide a vent tube .4 which is disposed. at the side-of the spout 3 with its lower .end depending into the cap but terminating above the normal liquid level 5; that-is when the receptacle contains .its. normal amount of liquid, say one quart, the level' of the liquid is below the vent.
The upper end 6 of the vent t beis beveled or inclined so that the operator may conven iently place his finger overfthe'tube-and thereby control the passage offiair intogthe container which controls the"di-scha ge*'=of.; I
the lubricant therefrom. This "is .parti'c" larly desirable when a thicklubricant is dispensed or when the lubricant isthickened low temperature, as such lubricant: does not pass freely through the screefisiisually pres-j ept in the lubricant intakes of iniotorvehi- By arranging the vent as has; been described, the lubricant passes freely into the container through the comparatively small spout and is freely discharged,the air passing out and in as the lubricant. enters or is poured from the can. j' i- \Vhen the receptacle; .ls inverted, theair, flows in at the vent and, as the liquid lowers to a point below the inner endo'f the vent tube the air carries any liquid-infthe tube neck into the can and it flows out the spout, thus preventing anyidripping from'the vent.
My improved dispensing can is very convenient to use. The lubricant flows freely from the spout even when the lubricant is thereof, said spout being of such diameter as to permit filling of the receptacle therethrough, as by means of a measuring pump, and a vent tube disposed at the front side of said spout and depending into the cap with its lower end above the normal liquid level of said receptacle, the upper end of said vent tube being beveled to facilitate fingering, to control the passage ofair therethrough.
2. A dispensing can comprising a rece y taele, a dome shaped cap threaded upon said receptacle and having a central spout, said spout being of such diameter as to permit the filling of the receptacle therethrough,
and a vent tube disposed at the side of said spout and depending into-the cap with its lower end above the normal liquid level of said receptacle.
3,A dispensing can comprising a measuring container provided with a dome-- shaped top having a central spout, said spout being of such diameter as to permitthe filling of the receptacle therethrough, and a jecting into the cap but above the normal liquid level thereof, the outer end of said vent being positioned so' that the finger of the operator may be placed over the same to control the admission of air therethrough.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and sealin the presence of two witnesses;
