OIL-CAN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,815, dated March 27, 1883.
' Application filed September 11, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom. it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE G. QRAM, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Cans, of which the following is a specification. 7
This invention has reference to an oil-can which is inclosed for transportation in a case, which latter is adapted to support the can for tilting the same, so that the entire contents thereof may be conveniently withdrawn; and the invention consists of a casing for packing oil-cans for transportation, composed of two sections, the lower section being provided at diagonal corners with triangular uprights having central guide-grooves for the trunnions of the can, which trunnions are applied to diagonally-opposite corners of the can, while the spout is arranged at one of the intermediate top corners of the can. The corner-posts of the lower case-section are further provided with additional recesses or bearings in frontot' the longitudinal guide-recesses for supporting the can in raised position for tilting the same.
In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure 1 rep-' resents a front elevation of my improved oilcan, shown in position for being tilted. Fig. l is a side view of the can as tilted for discharging its contents. Fig. 2 is a plan of an oil-can and easing with top section removed.
.Fig. 3 is avertical diagonal sectionof the inolosing-case taken on line as m. Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
In shipping petroleum-cans the cans were heretofore inclosed in wooden boxes, which were adapted to be used as a stand for the cans when the same were emptied. The cans in most cases were provided with side trunnions, which .were supported in hearings on the lower or bottom section of theinclosingcase. The spout of the can was arranged intermediately between the trunnioned sides, which had the disadvantage that the can could not be entirelyemptied when supported on the stand, but that a small quantity of oil remained in the same, which had to be drained 05 by removing the can from the stand.
My improved can A (shown in drawings) is so supported on the stand formed by its inclosing-case that every particle of the oil can be discharged therefrom. This is accomplished by arranging thetrunnions at diagonally-opposite corners of the can and the spout at one of the intermediate top corners. The inclosing-case of the can A is for this purpose divided into two sections of equal size, a lower or bottom section, A, and an upper section, A which are connected by hooks and eyes a a, or other equivalent fastening devices, when the canis placed in position. The lower section, A, is provided at diagonally-opposite corners with fixed upright posts B B, of triangular cross-section, which posts are provided with central longitudinal guide-grooves, b b, for the trunnions d of the can A. The trunnions d are arranged at diagonally-opposite corners of the can A, while the spout e is arranged at one of the intermediate top corners, and the filling-openiug c, with its closing-cap, preferably opposite the spout-corner, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The handlefis arranged be tween the spout and thefilling-opening. When the can is packed for shipping the diagonal trunnions are inserted into the guide-grooves b b of the posts B B, as shown in Fig. 2, by which the can is securely held in position. The cover A is then placed inposition over the lower section and secured by the fastening devices a a. The cover is also provided with a handle, f, for conveniently carrying the same. When the can is desired to be emptied the cover A is removed, the can lit'ted entirely out of the grooved posts B B, and then placed, with its trunnions, into recesses orbearings d d, which are arranged in the upper part of the posts B B, in front of the vertical guidegr-ooves b b, as shown clearly inFig's. 1 and 2. In this position the can may be easily tilted, and thus entirely emptied of its contents in the manner shown inFig. 1 The case forms thus a stand for the can, by which the same may be conveniently emptied and fully protected during transportation.
Having thus described my invention, Iolaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination of a can, A, having trunnions d d at diagonal corners, and a spout, e, at one ot'the intermediate corners of the top, with a packing-case formed of a bottom section, A, and a top section or cover, A the bottom section having centrally-grooved posts B B at diagonal corners, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. 2. A packing-case-for oil-cans, composed of a button section, A, and of a top section, A 5 connected thereto, the bottom section, A, having centrallygrooved posts B B at diagonallyopposite corners, substantially as described. 3. The combination of the bottom section, A, of apacking-oase, provided with longitudi- 10 nally-grooved'posts B B at diagonal corners, said posts having bearings at their upper ends, with an oil-can, A, having trunnions at diag-- onally-opposite corners, and a spout at one of the intermediate top corners, substantially as :5 specified.
4. A case for packing cans for transportation, consisting of a bottom section, A, having longitudinally-grooved posts BB atdiagonally-opposite corners, and of a top section or cover, A connected thereto by suitable 2o fastening devices, the corner-posts of the bottom section, A, having" bearings d d at their upper ends, at one side of the center grooves of the same, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim theforegoing as my 2 5 invention 1 have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORGE G. ORAM.
