OIL CAN.
I Application mea January 31, 1925. serial No. 6,085.
To all 'whom t may coa-ccm:
Be it known that I, Vieron ERICKSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Oil Cans, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in oil cans. Y
The principal object of this invention is to produce an oil can which with a slight pressure will force the oil from the'end of the spout.
Another object is to produce a device of this character which is extremely simple and therefore cheap to manufacture.
Another object is to provide means for protecting the spout when not in use.
A further object is to provide means to prevent leakage when the can is not being used.
@ther objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Figure I is a vertical cross section of my device, and
Figure II is a vertical cross section showing the manner of reversing the spout when not'in use.
It is common practise to discharge oil from an oil can by pressing upon the bottom of the can which is usually curved so as to provide for this pressure. This, however, is not suficient in many instances to express a sufficient quantity of oil and is further hard to manipulate.
I have therefore provided a can which has a piston located with the same, which piston forces the oil out of the can, in accordance with the pressure exerted upon the same.
In the accompanying drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates a can having a filling opening closed by a plug 6. Slidably mounted within said can is a piston preferably formed of leather and having downturned edges as shown at 7. This piston is confined between the metal discs 8 and 9 which are held together by screws 11 and 12. The piston hthus constructed is secured to a tube 13, which tube extends through a packing gland 14 secured upon the cover 16 of the can.
A spring 17 is secured to the bottom of the can and contacts the under surface of the disc 9. An opening 18 forms a connection between the tube 13 and the interior of the can at a point below the piston. This tube 13 has secured to its upper end an enlarged portion 19 to which is secured finger pieces 21 and 22.
The interior of this enlarged portion 19 is screw-threaded so as to receive the screw threaded portion 23 of the spout 24. Mounted within the spout is a partition 26 having a port formed therein, which port is normally closed by a valve 27 held against the partition by a spring 28. The result of this structure is that when the can is filled with oil some of the oil will pass into the chamber below the piston and when the piston is forced down, this oil will be expressed through the tube 13, pass the valve 27 and out of the spout 24.
As soon as the operator releases the pressure upon the finger pieces 21 and 22, the spring 17 will move the piston upwardly, leaving a partial vacuum beneath the piston, which action will draw more oil from the portion above the piston to a point beneath the piston ready to be discharged as soon as the piston is again moved downwardly.
By viewing Figure II it will be noted that the spout may be removed from the position shown in Figure I and reversed so as to be normally protected within the tube 13. At the same time this places the valve 27 in such a position that any attempt to expel the oil will merely cause the valve 27 to seat more firmly, thus preventing any discharge when the spout is in this position.
It will accordingly be seen that I have provided an oil can which is simple and highly eiiicient in use.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention, herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim. y
Having thus 'described my invention, I claim ,In a device O the character described),
a can, a piston mounted in Said can, means for normallyl maintaining said rpiston out of contaet with the bottom of said can, a tubular member Secured to said pston a Vport formed in said pstonand oonneetug with said tubular member, an enlarged portion formed on said tubular member at a point outside of said can, linger pieces Secured to said enlarged portion,v a spout removably secured to said enlarged portion, said spout having an enlarged end adapted to t WithinI the sad'enlarged portion iny Such a manner that said spout may project outwardly therefrom or may be reversed so as to be.
teleseoped Within said tubular member, and a Valve positioned n said spout and adapted to open in sueha manneras to discharge the Contents of the can through said spout when said spout is projecting outwardly from said tubular member.
Intestmony whereof I affix my Signature.
VICTOR ERICKSON.
