JOHN T. BRITTIN, OF LONG BRANCH, NEV JERSEY.
FUNNEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 426,165, dated. April 22, 1890.
Application filed July 18, 1889- Serial No, 317,914. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN T. BRITTIN, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Long Branch, in the county of Monmouth and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Funnels, of which the following is a specification.
'My invention relates to that class of funnels adapted for use in filling lamps and other similar purposes; and the object thereof is to provide a simple, convenient, and comparatively inexpensive device having a body of substantially flattened conical form, and provided with an overhanging hood or shield, partly covering the open top and closing one side of the same, the open side being provided with a rest or loop to form a rest for the can, the hood preventing all spilling or slopping of the oil from the spout of the can.
The invention consists in the novel article of manufacture hereinafter fully described and definitely pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying draw ings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of afunnel constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same.
In the said drawings, the reference-numeral 1 denotes the body of the funnel, formed of sheet metal or other suitable material, and having a shape approximating that of a cone which is flattened upon its opposite sides, whereby the top of said funnel is given an oval or elliptical form. The body of the funnel. is provided with a spout or neck 2 of the usual construction.
Upon the top of the funnel is formed a hood or shield 3, rising from the edge and arched over the oval open top, the wall of said hood being cut away in a plane lying at an acute angle with the plane of the open top, whereby the side walls a of the hood are extended upon the funnel, while sufficient space is allowed to invert the can without the top of the latter coming in contact with the edge of: the hood. y
In the edge of the funnel, opposite the cen tral portion of the hood, is formed a rest or loop 5, to receive the spout of the filling-can, whereby the latter may be steadied and held in proper position during the operation of replenishing the lamp.
The manner of using the device is apparent, the hood serving to wholly prevent the slopping or splattering of oil by the stream from the can striking the funnel too high or close to the upper edge of the body. The top of the hood being cut away to overhang the central portion of the funnel, ample space is afforded for the manipulation of the ean,while, the side walls of the hood being extended upon the longer edges of the funnel-top, a more complete protection is afforded, as the spout of the filler, when laid upon the rest 5, will pro j ect practically within the space inclosed by the side walls of the hood, rendering the spilling of the oil by splattering or by the deflection of the can-spout practically impossible.
The funnel, with its hood, may be formed from a single metallic blank cut to the proper form and drawn into shape by dies.
\Vhat I claim is 1.. A funnel composed of a body having the shape of a cone flattened upon opposite sides and provided with a hood arched over its central portion, the wall of said hood being imperforate and uniting with the edge of the funnel and extending continuously around the same, with the exception of an open space at one end of the flattened conical body, substantially as described.
2. A funnel composed of a flattened conoidal body provided with an overhanging hood comprising an imperforate arched wall rising from the sides and one end of said body portion, and having an opening the edge of which lies at an acute angle with the top of the funnel, the open end of the latter being provided with a loop or rest formed in the edge thereof, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
J OIIN T. BRITTIN.
