OILMCAN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 679,345, dated duly 30, 1901. Application led January 13, 1900. Serial No. 1,312. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL G. STAFFORD, a resident of Bellevue, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oil-Cans and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to oil-cans, and has special reference to cans employed in domestic service for holding kerosene or coal-oil, gasolene, benzene, and all oil of low-flashing point and for supplying lamps or other burning devices with the oil when desired.
The object of my invent-ion is to provide a can of the character above indicated which may be readily filled and from which the oil may be poured without danger of exploding any gas that may be generated in the can, whatever may be the location of the can with reference to a iiame.
With this end in View I have devised the can shown in the accompanying drawings, in which` Figure l is a view, partially in side elevation and partially in section, shown in connection with filling devices in operation; and Fig. 2 is a horizontalsection on line @c QaFig. l.
The body l of the can is shown as cylindrical in form, although it may have any other form desired, and is provided at its top and adjacent to one side witha delivery spout or nozzle 2, a cap 3 being attached thereto by means of a chain 4, as is usual in devices of this character, the cap being employed for preventing evaporation of the oil when the can is in use as a receptacle merely. The base 5 of the nozzle 2 is shown as rectangular in form, although it may have any other form desired, and is provided with a transverselyarranged wire-cloth screen 6. This screen is shown as parallel to the ends of the can; but any deviation from parallelism within considerable limits would be within my invention. The same end ot the can is provided with a filling-chamber '7, adjacent to the side opposite that provided with the pouring-nozzle. This chamber '7 is also shown as rectangular in form. Its form may be varied, however, if desired. Located between the ends of this filling-chamber 7 is a wire-gauze parn tition S, this partition being shown as arranged perpendicular to the ends of the can; but a considerable inclination is permissible without departing from my invention. The bottom of the filling-chamber is provided at one side of the partition with an opening 9, and the top of the chamber is provided with an opening 10 at the other side of the partition, the opening l0 being surrounded by a cylindrical screw-threaded projection, over which a cap may be screwed after the can is filled.
The funnel ll and measure 12 obviously do not constitute parts of my invention and are merely shown to illustrate the use of the chamber 8 in filling the can.
It will be observed that the passage from the opening 10 to the can extends in a substantially horizontal position for a portion of its length and that the screen 8 is arranged across said passage, so that it is substantially in a vertical position when the can is in its filling position, so that there is always a free passage outward for the air displaced by the inflowing liquid, as will be readily seen. The gauze partition also prevents the ignition of any gas which 4may be generated in the can in case the opening 10 is utilized for pouring oil from the can or in case the cap is removed from the opening l() when pouring oil from the nozzle 2. It will also be understood that when the can is tilted to pour oil from the vided with a screen, a filling-passage extend- 9 5 1n g in substantially a horizontal position, said passage communicating at its opposite ends with the can-body and filling-opening, respectively, and a gauze partition extending across said passage between its ends whereby said rod - partition is in substantially a vertical position chamber between said end openings whereby ro when the can is in its iiling position. said partition is in substantially a Vertical 2. An oil-can having a delivery-spout proposition when the can is in its filling position. vided With a screen, a filling-chamber extend- In testimony whereof I, the said SAMUEL G. 5 ing in substantially a horizontal position and STAFFORD, have hereunto set my hand.
provided With a iiiing-opening in its top at SAMUEL G. STAFFORD. one end and an opening in the bottom of its "Witnesses: other end communicating With the can-body, GRACE C. RAYMOND,
and a gauze partition extending aoross said ROBERT C. TOTTEN.
