STOPPER F OR O lL-CANS OR LAMP-FILLERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,984, dated November 4, 1890.
Application filed March ll, 1890- Serial No. 3%,480- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, DUDLEY G. STONE, of Negaunee, in the county of Marquette and State of Michigan, have. invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoppers for Oil-Cans or Lamp-Fillers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to an improvement in oil-cans or lamp-fillers of any description, and has for its object to provide a device of simple and durable construction and capable of convenient manipulation, which will be kept in place as a stopper by means of its own weight, and not be liable to displacement by any jarring or tipping movement of the can.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters and figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure l is a side elevation'of a'portionof a can and its spout, illustrating the application of the stopper thereto. Fig. 2 is a section through the spout and a portion of the stopper, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the stopper detached.
The stopper is constructed of two parts or sections-namely, a cap or hood l0 and a shank or stem 11. The cap or hood maybe made of wood, metal, cork, rubber, or equivalent material and shaped in the ordinary manner, if desired. The inner walls of the cap are, however,preferably made to practically correspond to the exterior contour of the upper end of the can spout or nozzle 12, to which the stopper is to be applied, as is best illustrated in Fig. 2.
The shank or stem 11 consists of a piece of metal of any convenient length and of a size and shape to admit of its being easily inserted into the spout or nozzle of the can. The cap or hood is secured to the upper end of the shank or stem in any convenient manner. Ordinarily the connection is efiected by passing the end of the rod through the top of the cap and then turning or riveting the projecting extremity of the rod sufi iciently to form a head 13. and prevented from sliding upon the shank by reducing the upper end of the rod composing the shank and carrying the said reduced end through the cap, as shown at a in Fig. 2. Thus when the head 13 is formed, the top of the cap is firmly clamped between the said head and a shoulder a upon the shank.
The completed stopper may be attached to the can 14. by a chain or in any other approved way, or it may be left unattached, as shown in the drawings.
One great advantage in this style of stopper outside of its cheapness and easy application is that its weight tends to keep it in place, and thus the cap is kept drawn down closely over the nozzle, and the stopper is not likely to be disturbed by reason of any jar or tipping movement of the can.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As an improved article of manufacture, a stopper for the nozzles of oil-cans or similar vessels, consisting of a cap or hood and a metal bar forming a stem or shank, one end of which bar is secured to the center of the head of the cap, the other end being made to project beyond the bottom of the latter and adapted to enter freely the spout or nozzle of a can, whereby the stopper will be held to the spout or nozzle by its weight and all liability of its being accidentally displaced avoided, substantially as shown and described.
