OIL-CAN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,768, dated September 28, 1886.
I Applicaticn filed February 4, 1886. Serial No. 190,789. (No model.)
1 improved oil-canin the lineyy of Fig. 5. Fig.
2 is an enlarged detail sectional view of that portion of the can which is provided with a shoulder which supports the weight of the can and oil contained therein. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view of a lower or botdrip spout.
tom portion of the can represented in Fig. 1. Fig. i is a plan View of the metal top or cover of the can shown in Fig. 1, but detached and inverted in order to clearly show the relative position of its filling-nozzle, pouring-spout, and air and drip holes, as well as the air and Fig. 5 is a transverse section in the line w a: of Fig. 1; fand Fig. 6 is a detail broken view, in elevation, of a portion of the body of the can and of the shoulder-band of its surrounding jacket, to which the ear of the can handle or bail is applied.
My invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts of an oil-can, as will be hereinafter described and specifically claimed, whereby'an oil-can is pro duced adapted for containing kerosene and other oils which is not only of attractive appearance, but which, with other advantages, will catch the drippings which usuallyfiow down the outside of an oil-can spout after pouring oil out from the can, as well as the drippings which are-apt to fiow down between the body of a can and its inclosing-jacket, as ordinarily constructed.
A indicates the body of my improved oilean,made of glass, which may be in form of a hollow cylinder having its upper end contracted to an approximately-conical form and terminated with a filling-neck, as a, and supplied with a double tincover, B, cemented to its neck a. This cover is made with an upper metal plate, I), having an annular portion,
7), turned down, as shown, so as to surround the neck a, and between which portion 2) and the neck the cement is placed to secure the cover in position upon the can.
" Encircled by the plate I), and beneath the same, as shown, I apply a metal disk, bflhaving its perimeter turned up, as at c, and snugly fitting against the-upper inner'surface of the portion 1), thus leaving an air space or chamber, as d, between the plate I) and disk I)".
F is the filling-nozzle of the can,having aremovable screw-cap, f, thereon. The base of this nozzle is inserted through a proper aper ture in the plate I), and fits Over an annular turned-up lip, as c, which bounds an aperture through the disk b, communicating with the bore of the nozzle F, as shown, while to the annular lip c and the plate I) said nozzle is securely'soldered' in position, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 4.
E is the pouring-spout of the can, and is made to communicate with its interior through the plate?) and disk' bflwhile E is a drip-spout, which is made to communicate, as shown, with the chamber d, whichin turn communicates with the interior of the can through openings 9 g, which are located nearlyin rear of the filling-nozzle F, and near the rear portion of the neck a. the openings 9 g 'is made in order that when the can is tipped forward to discharge oil from the spout E the flowing-level'of the oil will always be forward of and below said openings g, and thus will discharge properly through the spout E,instead of flowing into the chamber d through the openings 9, and thence out through the dripspout E, and sobecom'ing wasted. This drip-spouthas'its discharge end 6 a short dis tance below the discharge end 6 of the spout E, and thus afteroil has been poured from the spout E the drip from its end 6 will run along down the under side of E and enter the drip spout E, through its discharge end 0, and so pass 011 into the chamber d, and thence into the interior of the can through said openings 9 Thus constructed, the chamber d's'ubscrves a double purpose, in thatit receives and conducts the drip from the pouring-spout E 'into the interior of the can through openings 9 g, and also serves as an airway to conduct air entering it through the drip-spout E into the body Such location or arrangement of of the can through the openings 9 9 when oil is poured from the can through the pouring spout E.
As shown clearlyin' Figs. 1 and 2, the body A of the can at its upper portion is constructed With a projection or shoulder,h,which extends entirely around said body and serves, in 0011- junction with a jacket, as presently described, to support the Weight of the can and its contents at all times free from contact with the floor upon which the can may be placed. This jacket is composed at its top of a shoulder-band, H, of lapped or double thickness of tin,upon which the shoulder h rests, and at its bottom with a base-band, H, of like lapped metal and thickness, as shown, said bands being connected by verticallongitudinal metal supports on Man m which metal supports have their top ends soldered between the two thicknesses or laps of the shoulder-band H, and their bottom ends between the two thicknesses orlaps of metal composing the base-band H, and thus are held firmly in place. So far I have only described the skeleton of th jacket which Ihave made to inclose the can, and to complete the jacket I inclose the body A between the bands H and H with two pieces of pasteboard, as N N, the upper and lower ends of said pieces being confined, respectively, between the laps of the shoulderband H and base-band H, as shown, while their longitudinal edges are respectively confined between the laps of the respective longitudinal supports m m and m m as signified in Fig. 5, thus leaving on opposite sides of the glass body A uncovered spaces, as r 1", extending nearly from top to bottom of the .can, through which the oilin the glass can-body A may be observed, and so determine when it is necessary to have the can replenished. Practically the shoulder h, upon which the weight .of the can and contents falls, may extend out only flush with the outer surface of the shoulder-band H, though I have shown it somewhat projecting beyond said band,'the shoulder being rounded in order that any oil which might overrun the can in filling will be prevented from flowing down between the jacket and the can, and made to flow down upon the exterior of the band H, and thence upon the pasteboard covering N N, from which it can be readily wiped, and thus keep the exterior of the can clean and tidy, whereas those oil-cans in use which are clothed with a jacket, but have no shoulder h, allow the body of the can to slip down in the jacket, and thus a casual overflow of oil in filling will run down between the jacket and the can, and so drip from the can for days after it has been filled. Thus the shoulder h subserves two functions, the main one being to sustain the weight of the can and contents,
and the other to prevent overflow oil from running down between the jacket and the can. If, however, any oil should happen to findits way between the band H and pasteboards N N and the body portion A, and so run on down to the bottom 8, such drip will there be caught and absorbed by a soft paper disk, T, which I insert in contact with said bottom and within the band H, as shown, thus effectually preventing any oil coming in contact with a table or floor or support on which the can may be set, thus avoiding one of the most disagreeable results of the use of an oil-can. The absorbent paper disk T is held in place by punching with a proper tool burrs, as c, in the band H, the burrs being made-to engage with the disk T, as shown, and so hold it in place. This disk is not made to extend down flush with the bottom of the base-band H; but said band may extend more or less below said disk, as desired, and thus the can may be set down over any causal projection which otherwise might break the glass bottom 8, or cause damage to the can. The pasteboards N N on their exterior surface may have a lithograph or other ornamental finish, thus giving the can a very neat appearance. The bail \V is attached to cars w, soldered on either side of the can, ever the spaces 1' r, and thus the can may be conveniently held by the operator with one of said spaces toward his eye, in order that he may observe the state of the oil in the can.
I claim- 1. An-oil-can which comprises in combination a body portion, A, a metal cap, B, having apertures 9 located near the back of the neck a of the can, an air-space, d, pouringspout E, and dripspout E, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2.
