Description
N.PETERS, PHOTO-LITHOGRAPHER. WASHINGTON D C UNITED STATES PATENT OFFTCE.
GEORGE R. MOORUM, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN OIL-CANS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,4 [4, dated May 16,- 1876; applicationfiled February 7, 1876. 1
. both convenient and safe in use and the nature of my improvement consists in providing the can with a concave head, having a small chamber at its center connected with a siphon, which will prevent the escape of any gases caused by. evaporation, and also prevent the passage of any flame into the can or tank; and in providing the can with a removable strainer, upon which the.vessels to be filled are placed.
In the drawings, arepresents the can; b, the bottom flange, which may be filled with wood, to prevent its being injured, and to give an additional support to the can; 0, the concave head or top; 01, the central chamber or well; e, the siphon; f, the secondary strainer or cap; g, the primary strainer or platform; h, the pump, of any ordinary construction.
In construction, the can a is made of any suitable size or form, and is designed, more especially, to be used in retail establishments for storing kerosene or other inflammable oils. This can a is provided with a concave top, 0, as shown, and its center or lowest part is provided with a small well or chamber, d, into which any overflow or waste oil runs, and
through which the can may be filled.
The chamber at is provided with a siphon, e, the shorter arm of which is nearly in contact with the bottom of the well or chamber, there being only sufficient space left for the oil topass into the siphon at that point. The longer arm of the siphon is inside of the can, and passes half an inch, more or less, below the bottom of the well d, so that as soon as sufficient oil is accumulated in the well to start operate.
the siphon, the oil will continue to flow until it is practically all drawn into the can.
By making the long arm of the siphon only long enough to secureits operation, the oil from the well orchamber at will expel the air,
so that the siphon will start as soon as sufficient oil has accumulated to reach its -highest point. This siphon 6 also forms a trap,-
In order to provide a level platform for the cans or vessels which are to be filled to stand upon, the can is provided with a platformstrainer, g, which passes partly across the concave head 0, as shown, leaving a sufficient portion of the concave head around it, so that the head will act as a funnel for any oil which may be beyondthis platform g, as well as for that which passes through it. This platform 9 is perforated so as to act as a strainer to prevent dust'and dirt from settling into the can, and it is detachable, so that it can be taken out and cleaned at any time.
The pump h is arranged to discharge toward the center of the can, and is made detachable, so that it can be taken out and inserted in the barrel for filling the can, and be replaced, as shown, for filling smaller cans or vessels.
In filling from the barrel the discharge from the pump may enter the can at the opening caused by removing the pump h, or it may be pumped into the well 01, as desired.
It is obvious that the siphon may be applied to aconcave head, or head having a depression, without using the well or chamber 01.
I do not therefore limit myself in the use of a siphon to its combination with said chamber. As the siphon furnishes the vent for the can, the pump will always cause it to The chamber or well 01 need not be centrally 2. The combination of the platform-strainer located, as in small cansit will, preferably, be 9 with the secondary strainer f, concavelhead near-ithe side oppositethe pump. a, chamber or-opening d, and siphon a, sub- What I claim as new, and desire to secure "stantiallyas'specifierl.
