FUNNEL FOR DISPENSING LUBRICATING OIL Filed June 50, 1932 Patented July llll, T933 ara ALFRED L. KRONQUEST, F SYRACUSE, AND FARRELL G. SEARLE, OF BRONXVILLE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNORS T0 CONTINENTAL CAIN COMPANY, INC., 01? NEW YORK, N. Y.,
A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK FUNNEL FOR DISPENSING LUBRICATING OIL Application filed June 30,
The invention relates to new and useful improvements in a funnel for dispensing lubricating oil. In the application of Alfred L. Kronquest, filed May 18, 1932, Serial No. 612,110, there is shown described and claimed a construction of funnel having a body portion adapted to slip over the upper end of a container when the funnel is inverted. Located within the funnel is a cutter which 1 penetrates the upper end of the container. After the funnel has been applied to the container, the container and funnel are inverted and the lubricant within the container is discharged into the funnel and through the spout of the funnel into the chamber where the oil is used for lubrication. The present application has to do with an improvement on the dispensing funnel of the Kronquest application.
An object of the invention is to provide a funnel used for opening and discharging oil from containers with means for collecting any oil adhering to the inner wall of the funnel during dispensing of the oil when the container is brought to an upright position or when the funnel is removed from the container and stored in an inverted position.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a sectional view through a dispensing funnel embodying the improvements.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing a modified form of collecting means for the oil.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the construction shown in Fig. 1 showing the funnel as applied to a container and the end cut through preparatory to the dispensing of the oil from the container.
The invention has to do with a funnel for dispensing oil of the type shown in the Kronquest application. Said funnel includes a body portion 1, which is shaped to conform to the container and is adapted to receive the end portion of the container, said body portion 1 being provided with a spout 2 through which the lubricating oil may be dispensed. Located within the funnel is a cutter 3 having a piercing point 4 and a cutting edge 5 leading therefrom which severs the metal along three sides of an opening and forces 1932. Serial No. 620,257.
the cut out portion of the metal inwardly about the attached side as a hinge, thus producing an opening through which the contents of the container may be dispensed.
In Fig. 3 of the drawing a container to which the funnel is applied is indicated at 6 and the portion of metal which is cut out by the cutter and folded inwardly is indicated at 7. After the funnel has been applied to the container, then the container and funnel are inverted for the purpose of dispensing the oil from the container into the funnel and through the spout of the funnel into the chamber where the oil is to be used for lubricating purposes.
The body portion 1 of the funnel is made somewhat larger in diameter than the container to which it is to be applied. Attached to the body portion is a collar 8; said collar has an integral ring 9 at its lower end as shown in Fig. 1, which is attached to the body of the funnel. This ring serves as a spacer so that the collar is spaced away from the wall of the funnel, thus providing a chamber 10 between the collar and the inner wall of the body portion of the funnel. The inner diameter of the collar 8 is of such dimensions that the collar will slip freely over the container. The cutter 3 is spaced from the inner wall of the collar so that the piercing point will enter the container just inside the double seam.
During the emptying of the container the oil comes into contact with the inner surface of the funnel and the inner surface of the spout. A certain amount of oil adheres to this surface. Tf the container is brought back to an upright position, the oil thus adhering to the inner wall of the funnel will run by gravity down said inner wall and collect in the chamber 10. The amount of oil thus adhering to the inner wall of the funnel is insufficient to fill this chamber 10 and therefore there will be no oil flowing down the inner wall of the funnel and then onto the outer wall of the container and accumulating at the bottom end of the container if it is placed away on a shelf for storage. Furthermore, if the container is emptied and the funnel removed and stored on a shelf, the oil adhering to the inner wall 100 of the funnel will collect in the chamber 10 and will not run down onto the shelf. When the funnel is again applied to a container and inverted for dispensing the oil therefrom, the oil collecting in the chamber 10 will run out of said chamber and through the spout with the oil dispensed from the chamber.
In Fig. 2 of the drawing, the collar 8 has been omitted. The body portion 1 of the funnel is of a diameter so as to slip easily over the container'to which it is applied. The cutter 3 is so positioned within the funnel that the point 4 thereof will pass through the container and just inside the double seam. At the lower end the body portion 1 is bent outwardly as indicated at 11 and is thence curved inwardly and upwardly as indicated at 12, thus forming a chamber or pocket 13. WVhen the container is brought back to righted position or the funnel is removed from the container and placed on a shelf, any oil adhering to the inner surface of the funnel or spout will flow by gravity into this chamber or pocket 13 where it will collect. The chamber is of sufficient capacity to retain all the oil which will adhere to the inner surface of the funnel. The chamber 13 functions in precisely the same manner as the chamber 10 in the construction shown in Fig. 1.
The collar 8 as shown in Fig. 1 is detachably secured to the body portion 1 of the funnel in any suitable way either by screw threads or by holding screws (not shown). This permits the collar to be removed with the ring 9 for the purpose of cleaning the chamber 10.
It is obvious that other ways may be devised for collecting the oil adhering to the inner surface of the funnel or spout without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claim.
Having thus fully. described the invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A dispensing funnel for hermetically sealed containers comprising a body portion shaped to conform to the container and adapted to receive the end portion thereof, said body portion having means attached thereto at the open end thereof for collecting lubricating oil adhering to the inner wall of the funnel and flowing along said wall when the funnel is inverted for storage, and a cutter located within the funnel and attached to the body portion thereof, said cutter being disposed so that the outer face thereof is spaced from the Wall of the container and lies in a line spaced from the collecting means for the lubricating oil so that when said funnel is lowered on to a container, said cutter will pierce the container end close to the double seam of the container for forming a dispensing opening in the end thereof.
In testimony whereof, we allix our signa- ALFRED L. KRONQUEST. FARRELL G. SEARLE.
