JAY K113010138, F KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN.
Application filed June 2,
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAY B. RHODES, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city and county of Kalamazoo, 'State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dispensing Cans, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in dispensing cans.
My improved dispensing can is especially designed by me for the handlin or lubricants such as in the sale of lubricants to it to pass through the screened intake on without dripping on the floor or vehicle, and without soiling the hands of the person mani ulating the same.
econd: to rovide an, improved dispensin can in which ordinary fruit jars of the liaison type may be used as a receptacle or container, and the original cartons in which the cans are shipped from the glass factory utilized as cartons for shipping the complete dispensing cans.
Third; to provide an improved dispens- .-ing can which may be filled from ameasurmg pump without removin the cap.
Further objects, and ob ects relating to structural details, will definltely appear .from the detailed description to follow.
I accomplish the objects .of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. Tlhe invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.
A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application, in which:
Figure I is a perspective view of a. carton or package, containing the redeptacles of my improved dispensing cans, the side of the carton being broken away to:illustrate the arrangement of the cans therein.
Figure II is a central section through the carton, containing the complete cans arranged for shipping.
4 Figure III is a front side elevation of one of myimproved dispensing cans.
j Figure IV is an enlarged detail vertical spout 12, of such dimensions 4 DISPENSING CAN.

section on a line corresponding to line 44 of Figure III.
F gure V is an enlarged detail vertical section on a line corresponding with line 5-5 of Figure II, showing the arrangement of the arts when arranged for shipping.
Inv the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and thesectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.
Referring to the drawings, the measuring receptacles 1 are preferably of glass, the
well-known Mason type of fruit jar being a very satisfactory. These cans are shipped from the glass factory in cartons 2, a dozen to a carton, the cartons being provided with outer closing caps 3 and inner closing caps 4. The cartons are usually formed otcellular board.
I provide a cap 5 preferably dome shaped as illustrated, the cap having an outwardly projecting flange 6 at its lower end adapted to overlap the end 7 of the neck 8 of the receptacle. A gasket 9 is disposed between the flange 6 and the edge of the receptacle neck. The collar 10 is threaded upon the neck and is provided with an inturned flange, which engages the flange of the cap, thereby providing a secure the can. The gasket also protects the edge of the can neck so that it is not likely to be chipped by metal coming in contact with the glass. The cap is provided with a central as to permit the filling of the receptacle through the spout as by means of a measuring pump, it being usual in the dispension of lubricants to motorists to measure the lubricant by means of a measuring pump,
1 provide a vent tube 13 which is arranged at the front of the spout and so that it may be fingered; that is, the finger placed over the spout to control the discharge from the spout. The upper end of the vent tube tube is arranged so that when the receptacle 1s filled to its normal capacity the end of joint between the cap and is preferably beveled as illustrated to facilitate fingering. The lower end of the vent the tube is above the liquid level and the tube is also arranged so that in filling through the spout the lubricator does not come in contact with the vent, the lowerend of the I vent tube being beveled away from the spout as shown in Figure IV.
The diameter of the cap is such that it may be inverted within the can, and the col-- lar thereof threaded thereon, thereby retaining the parts in assembled relation for shipment or storage. "When thus arranged the dispensing cans may be placed in the cartons 2 for shipment, thus, for reshipmerit utilizing the same cartons in which the cans are received from the glass factory.
This also provides a very compact package.
By arranging the parts in this manner the lubricant is introduced into the receptacle through the spout, which avoids the necessity ofremoving the cap and its discharge may be accurately controlled, making it possible to handle lubricants without dripping on the vehicle or flooror soiling the hands of the operator. Y
Where it is necessary to remove the cap in order to introduce the lubricant to the receptacle it is found quite impossible to avoid smearing the outer part of the receptacle in removing the cap or replacing it.
Further, an affective joint between the cap and the receptacle cannot be maintained in handling lubricants where the .cap is repeatedly removed. In the'applicants structure the gasket is arranged so that it is supported within the clamping collar and retained in place even when the same is coated with lubricant, or when deteriorated by contact with the lubricator.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A dispensing can comprising a receptacle having a threaded neck, a dome shaped cap having an outwardly projecting flange at its bottom overlapping the end of the neck and a discharge and filling spout at the top thereof of such diameter as to permit filling as well as discharging of the recep- 'tacle theretl'irough, the diameter of the cap being such that it may be inverted within the neck of the receptacle with its flange overlapping the end thereof, a gasket arranged between the end of the neck and the flange of said cap, a collar threaded upon said receptacle to engage the flange of said cap, and a vent tube depending into said front side of the spout.
2. A dispensing can comprising a receptacle having a threaded neck, a dome shaped cap having an outwardly projecting flange at its bottom overlapping the end of the neck and a discharge end filling spout at the top thereof of such diameter as to permit filling as well as discharging of the receptacle therethrough, a gasket arranged between the end. ofthe neck and the flange of said cap, a collar thgeaded upon said receptacle to engage the flange of said cap, and a vent tube depending into said cap at the front. side of the spout.
3. A dispensing can comprising a receptacle having a threaded neck, a dome shaped H atoaeav cap having an outwardly projecting flange at its bottom overlapping the end of the neck and. a discharge and filling spout at the top thereof of such diameter as to permit filling as well as discharging of the recep tacle therethrough, a. gasket arranged between the end of the neck and the flange of said cap, a collar threaded upon said receptacle to engage the flange of said cap, and a vent tube depending into said cap at the "front side of the spout with its lower end to permit filling as 'well as dischargingof the receptacle therethrough, the diameter of the cap being such that it may be inverted within the neck of the receptacle with its flange overlapping the end thereof, a gasket arranged between the end of the neck and the flange of said cap, a. collar threaded upon said receptacle to engage the flange of said cap, and a vent tube depending into said cap with its lower end above the normal liquid level of the receptacle.
5. A dispensing can comprising a'receptacle, a dome-shaped cap having a discharge and a filling spout at the top thereof of such diameter as'to permitfilling as well as discharging of the receptacle therethrough, and a vent tube'depending into said cap at the front side of the spout with its lower end above the normal liquid level of the receptacle and positioned out of alignment with the spout and so that the liquid does not'eome into contact with its inner end in filling the receptacle through the spout, the upper end of the vent tube being positioned to permit fingering to control the passage ofair therethrough.
6. A. dispensing can comprising a receptacle, a cap therefor having a discharge and filling spout of such diameter as to permit filling as well as discharging of the receptacle therethrough, an'd'a vent tubedepending into said cap and disposed so that my hand and seal.
