PATENT OFFICE;

can sroutr.

Application filed October 9, 1926. Serial No. 140,593.

This invention relates to lubricators and its primary object is to provide a spout for an oil can or the like which includes a force feed mechanism for expeditiously ejecting the contents of the canregardless of the position in which the can is held.

Another object of the invention is to provide a spout for a can that will materially. prevent the waste of the contentsof. the

lustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying 4 drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the sev eral views, and in which: j j

Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional view ofan oil can of. the usual construction and showing my novelspout in cross section.

Figure 2 is a sectional View of the force feed mechanism of the spout, in normal position and with a part thereof filled from 1 be experienced in oiling inaccessible places,

the can.

Figure 3 is a similar View showing the mechanism in operation. I

Referring to the drawings in detail the letter A indicates an oil 'can'of the usual construction and B its neck.

The spout which includes the subject matter of the present invention comprises a cap 1 threadedly secured in the neck B as clearly shown in, Figure 1, and rising from the cap 1 is a casing 2 which is generally used for tangular openings 6 arranged in its side walls adjacent its upper end which is fixed to the bottom of the cap 1 and is provided regardless of its consistency.

with a right angle outwardly disposed annular flange 7 so as to have an adequate securing space for the casing. The casing 5 is provided with a bottom 8 and it will be obvious thatthe casing acts as a reservoir for receiving some of the contents of the can through. the medium of the openings 6 when the can is inverted for that purpose. ;The pipe 3 extends above the casing 2 and secured upon diametrically opposite sides of the projecting upper end of the pipe 3'are finger members. 9 and ,10 which as shown converge downwardly in parallelism with the casing 2 and have their lower ends curved upon themselves to provide ring like terminals to accommodate the fingers of the user of the can as will be apparent.

The operation of ejecting the oil from the i can having my novel spout associated therewith may be described as follows: The plunger 4 is moved to its uppermost position as shown in Figure 2 through the instrumentality of the finger members 9 and 10, the can is then inverted so that the casing will be filled from the can up to the bottom of the openings 6, and then downward pressure upon the plunger will cause the contents of the casing to be ejected up through'the pipe andout of the'latter. By

this construction, the can can he held in an upright position asv shown in Figure 1 and the contents of the receptacle 5 will be dispensed, with the result that no difiiculty will and the oil can be dispensed from the can 3 It is thought from the foregoing description. that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall with in the scope of the appended claim.

WVhat I claim is:

In a device of the class described, the combination with a fluid receiving can having a threaded neck, of a cap for said can and adapted to be secured to said neck, a casing secured to said cap and rising therefrom, a receptacle provided with rectangular shaped openings arranged in the side walls adjacent its upper end, an annular flange secured to and extending outwardly at right angles from the top of said receptacle and securing the same in :1 depending relation to (he depending from the projecting upper end of bottom of said cap, a pipe mounted for i'esaid pipe and liei'uliluitil'ig inio ring like te1= eipl'o-utiou in said casing: and having its minuls to provide finger receiving portions 10 upper end prey-Ming above the same, :1 whereby the pipe may be l'eeiproeau'ed for plunger Secured to the lower end of suid ejecting the eouteni's of The rt-reeptaeie.
