PAUL TARAS, OF LEONIA, NEW JERSEY.

CONTAINER.

Application filed. October 15, 1923. Serial No. 668,586.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, PAUL TARAs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Leonia,

Bergen County, New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvements in Containers, of which the following is a description My invention relates to containers, and

particularly to containers made of tin, such to as are commonly employed for holding lubricating oil for internal combustion engines, The object of my invention is to provide a container from which the oil may be conveniently poured, which may be easily is sealed or closed, which will be practically non-refillable, and which will be relatively simple and cheap to manufacture.

In the accompanying drawing, l: have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, and the invention, together with its advantages will be readily understood from a description of this drawing,

Referring to the drawing, Fig. 1 is a perspective view oi? the container, with the cap in open position; Fig 2 is a sectional. view of the combined cap and spout showing the same in position to close the opening in the container; and Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a modified cap with its associate spout shown in open position.

ltei erring in detail to the drawing, the container 1 is preferably made of tin and may be of any desired shape and size. lit is provided on its top and preferably near one edge with an opening 2. The opening 2 is surrounded by the screw-thread projection 3 adapted to receive the cap or cover The cap 4: is provided with a spout 5 projecting horizontally from the side of the cap. The cap is threaded at 6 to engage the threads 3 and is provided in its upper portion with compressible material such as cork 7. When the cap is screwed down as shown in Fig. 2, the cork 7' rests on and presses against the shoulder 8 and thereby efiectively seals the container. When the cap and its associated spout are turned so as to unscrew the engagement with the container, the cork 7 is t and the e n 5 is r a r ertion with the liquid in the container. Since the spout projects over the side or edge of the container the liquid may be conveniently poured therefrom. When the cap is screwed down so as to bring the seal 7 into engagement with shoulder 8 the spout is disposed over the top of the container, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. lln this position, it can be readily stored or shipped, The cap 6 is also provided with an air inlet 11,

In Fig. 2, l have shown, in dotted lines at 9, an additional seal. This is of the type which is usually afixed when the container is originally filled, and by screwing the cap entirely ofi' this seal, can readily be pushed or moved out of position. lts object is to prevent the container "from being refilled before it reaches the consumer.

lln Fig. 3, l have shown a modification in which the seal 9 may be dispensed with The construction shown in this ti ure is the same as that shown in the other ngures, except that the cap or cover is arranged so that it cannot be entirely removed. This is effected by providing a shoulder it adapted to contact with the shoulder 10, thereby limiting the distance which the cap can be unscrewed Due to the shape of the spout, it is dificult and practically impossible to refill the container without removing the cap.

Having now described my invention, what is claimed is:

l, A liquid container having an opening therein, a screw cap for the opening, an air inlet on the side of said cap, a resilient element fixed to the inside of the top wall of said cap, a spout handle opposite said air inlet formed integral with the cap extendingfrom the side thereof and below said elcment the cap being so mounted that when it is turned a limited amount in one direction the container is open through the spout, and when it is turned in the other direction it operates to seal the container with said ele ment,

2. A liquid container having an opening therein, a threaded collar surrounding said opening having an external. flange at its outer end, a screw cap for said opening havinlet, the cap being so mounted that when ing a shoulder whereby the outward moveit is turned a limited amount in one direo- 1 ment of the cap is limited by said flange an tion the container is open throu h the spout, air inlet in the side thereof, a resilient eleand when it is turned in the other direction 5 ment fixed to the inside of the to? wall of it operates to seal the container with said said cap, a spout handle forme integral element. with said cap extending from the side thereof below said element opposite said air PAUL TARAS.
