CAN FOR LIQUIDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 477,4;55, dated June 21, 1892.

Application filed March 3, 1392. Serial No. 428,656. (No inodcl.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT ROLFING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cans for Liquids, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in cans for oil and other liquids; and the invention consists in the details of construction set forth in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l-is an elevation of the can sectioned along x at, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.

The letter A indicates the can, having the discharge-opening 13, leading into the valvechamber 0, from which the oil or liquid can discharge through spout I) when the valve or washer E is moved or screwed to the opening position by the finger-button F. These parts, with the handle G of the can, may all be of the usual construction. A tube or channel II is soldered or secured to the top of the can and made to communicate with valvechamberO. When an empty can is to be filled, the can is set in an upright position, the valve E is opened, and a nozzle or hose I is inserted into the outer or free end of the filling tube or channel H. When oil is caused to flow through the nozzle 0r funnel I from a suitable forcing apparatus or along channel or B into the can.

By my invention Ican prevent private parties from refilling the cans, since to refill a fount K, such oil runs tube Hand through opening can like that in the drawings an apparatus such as a nozzle or funnel I is necessary, which apparatus .I is not generally found among private effects, but will in case such cans are used form a necessary part of the outfit of an oil business.

The tube H might be made to lead into the can direct instead'of through the valve-chamher; but I prefer the latter method, since if the tube H led into the can direct a second valve n'light be required to close the inlet of tube H into the can.

YVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v 1. A can having its top wall provided with a discharge-orifice B, a valve-casing (J, arranged over the orifice and provided with a projecting pouring-spout D, an adjustable valve E, located in the valve-chamber for opening and closing said orifice, and a tube H, adapted at one end portion to receive a nozzle or funnel I and communicating at its opposite end portion with the interior of the can, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a can, of a valvechamber provided with a valve and a spout, and a tube secured to the can and made to communicate with the iuteriorof the can and valvechamber, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
