OIL-CAN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 623,345, dated April 18, 1899.
Application filed May 20,1897. Serial No. 687,875. (No model.)-
To a. 1071,0772 it ntrw/ concern:
Be itknown that 1, CHARLES L. XVAGANDT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Cans, of which the followingis a specification.
This invention relates to a certain improvement in oildispensing cans.
The class of oil-cans to which the invention relates employ pumps which project up through the to p head of the can, and usually said head has a front sunken portion whereon the measuring-receptacles are placed, a rear raised portion, and a diametrical wall separating the two portions. Heretofore these top heads have been constructed of several pieces of sheet metal which have been joined and soldered together to make up the complete head. This manner of making the head has proved unsatisfactory, for besides being expensive in first cost the pieces comprising the head after some use would become disjointed and the whole head would finally assume a shaky condition. As the heads having these features have heretofore been made it has not been possible to provide around the head a continuous circumferential flange by which a union or joint could be made with the top rim of the can-body.
The object of my invention is to provide a top head for these cans that will possess the requisite features-to wit, front sunk portion, rear raised portion, and a wall across the top joining the said two portions and which will also have a continuous circumferential flange around both portions, all in one piece of metal. p
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved top head for oil-cans. Fig. 2 is a diametrical section of same on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a broken section View showing the circumferential flange of the head in position on the top rim of the can-body in readiness to be joined or seamed. Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the upper part of an oilcan, showing my improved top head secured to the can-body.
The top head according to my invention has a front sunken or depressed portion A, em-
bracing approximately one-half of the area of the top head, with a diametrical raised wall Z) and a curved or part circular wall 0 as its boundaries. A rear portion D at the opposite side of the diametrical wall is relatively higher than the sunk portion, a slightly-raised wall e curving around the exterior of said rear portion and joining the said curved wall 0 of the front portion, so that said rear wall e and front wall 0 together form a'circle, and a continuous circumferential fiangef sets off outwardly all around the top head, including the said low rear wall and front wall. The elevated rear portion has semicircular corrugations g. This entire top head consists of sheet metal and is without seams or joints.
The top head has a large hole 77., where a drain-pan h is secured, and also a hole 1', Where a stay 2" is attached on the upper side of the head and also to the diametrical wall I), and a sleeve 2' projects through the lower side and serves to support the pump j. Another hole or slot It serves for the insertion of a gage-rod to measure the quantity of oil contained in the can. The parts described in this paragraph constitute no part of my invention.
The can-body Lis made of sheet metal and is cylindric. Before the top head is attached to the can-body the latter has its top rim flanged outwardly, as at m in Fig. 3. The circumferential flange f of the improved head is a little larger and sets on this flanged rim m. Then the two flanges f m are united by forming them into a joint or seam, like a hollow coil n. (Shown in Fig. a.)
By the constructive features of my improved top head I am able to unite the head with the can-body by means of a coiled seam, a thing that has not been done heretofore with the top heads of this class of cans.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A top head for oil-dispensing cans in one integral piece of metal free of scams or joints and having a front sunken or depressed portion, A, comprising approximately one-half of said head; a diametrical raised wall, 1), connecting with a curved or part-circular front wall, 0, constituting the boundaries of said sunken portion; a rear portion, D, at the opposite side of the diametrical wall and eler i I 623,345
vated or higher than the front portion; a wall, 6, lower than the front wall and curving around the exterior of said higher portion and joining the said front curved wall; and a continuous circumferential flange all around the head and including the said walls of both the front and rear portions, as set forth.
2. In an oil-dispensing can the combination of a sheet-metal can-body having a top rim flanged outwardly, and a circular top head comprising a diametrical raised wall, I), a front sunken or depressed portion, A, at one side of said wall, a rear portion, D, at the opposite side of the diametrical Wall and ele-
