METAL CAN.
No. 425,502. pigmented Apr. 15, 1890.
UNITED STATES PATENT PERLEY H. GATES, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
METAL CAN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,502, dated April 15, 1890. Application filed October 29, 1889. Serial No. 328,550- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, PERLEY H. GATES, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Cans, of which the following is the specification.
The nature and object of this invention are to make certain attachments for the spout of a can, as will hereinafter appear.
Figure l is a vertical section of my improvement applied to a can and in position to be used in filling a lamp. Fig. 2 is a side view of a can with the funnel turned back. Fig. 3 is a side view of a measuring-can with my improvement attached thereto.
I take any kind of a can and to the spout a, I add a funnel B, attached to the spout by means of a pivoted connection or joint 0. The discharge end of .this funnel is of equal size or larger than the discharge of the spout a. The funnel is cut away at one side, so it can be turned back onto the spout and admit the cap F to be placed over the end of the can-spout.
In using this improvement the discharge end of the funnel is inserted in the fillinghole of the lamp or whatever vessel is to be filled when the can is raised, as shown in the dotted lines in Fig. 1, when the oil is poured into the lamp through the funnel.
It will he observed that at whatever inclination the oil-can maybe in the act of filling the funnel B remains in one position-that is, in a vertical position; hence no trouble arises from spilling over, as is the case when the spout of the can is inserted directly in the filling-hole.
All overflow from the funnel is prevented by the discharge end oi" the funnel being made as large or larger than the discharge of the spout of the can.
The pivoted connection or joint between the funnel and spout allows the funnel at all times, when in the act of filling a lamp, to automatically adjust itself in a vertical position. When the lamp is filled, the funnel is turned back onto the spout, and, being cut away at one side, the cap F is readily placed onto the end of the spout.
The body of the funnel can be made in various shapes, as fancy or circumstances may require.
In Fig. 3 is shown a measuring'can with a funnel pivotally attached to the spout thereof, so that it may be turned down for pouring liquid through it, or it may be thrown back over the spout when not in use.
I claim In combination with the spout of an oilcan and pivotally attached thereto near its discharge end and made to embrace the said discharge end of the spout, a supplementary funnel cut away at its edge adjacent to the supporting-pivot to adapt it to be turned down for pouring or up over the spout.
PERLEY H. GATES.
