SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 733,486, dated July 14, 1903.
Application filed December 1'7, 1902. Eerial No. 135,509. (No model.)
To atZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH W. JACK, a British subject, residing at the town of Truro,
' in the county of Oolchest er, in the Province of Nova Scotia and Dominion of Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Filling-Cans, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in sheet-metal cans, and especially relates to that class of cans known as filling-cans, such as are used in filling oil-lamps; and the object of my invention is to provide acan having a funnel attached to it, so as to be always ready for use and in such a manner that will entirely prevent any waste of the liquid while running from the can into the receptacle. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of a can embodying my invention, showing the tunnel in place on top of the can. Fig. 2 is an elevation of a can, showing the funnel swung down to one side ready for use. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the can and funnel, showing the position they would respectively occupy when the pouring of the liquid from the can is about completed. Fig. 4 is an enlarged vertical section of the funnel on line 0 X of Fig. 1 detached from the can. Fig. 5 is a fullsize view of the spring-hinge which connects the funnel to the can and on which it swings.
Similar characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In the drawings, A is the body of the can.
a is the handle.
1 is the top of the can.
2 is the outlet.
3 is the bail.
4 is the funnel, which is of the ordinary form and is hinged to the can at 5.
6 is a recess formed around the bottom of the funnel on the inside forthe purposeof catching and retaining any'liquid that may have adhered to the interior while in use or any drip from the can guided into the funnel.
7 is the spring-hinge by which the funnel is attached to the can and on which it swings. It is made of spring metal and is soldered or brazed at its curved end to the top of the can near the outlet, the opposite end being coiled around the bent wire 8 8, forming the hinge. The ends of the bent wire 8 8 are soldered or brazed to the inside of the funnel, completing the attachment. The special function of this spring=hinge is to guide the dripping from the can into the funnel, thus entirely preventing waste. It also prevents the funnel falling from its position on the top of the can. v
9 is a recess formed around the top part of the can for the purpose of a seat or rest for the funnel when not in use.
1 is a slight projection on the inside of the funnel and which passes over the outlet When the funnel is swung to its place on the top of I the can and serves as a catch or fastening.
2 is a s1ight recess on the inside of the funnel to make room for the spring-hinge .when the funnel is in the position shown in Fig. 1.
In using my improved can for filling alamp, for instance, the funnel is swung off the top of the can and the neck of it inserted into the lamp and the lower part of the can elevated to a sufficient height to allow the oil to flow into the funnel.-
Having illustrated and described myinvention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A sheet-metal can in combination with a funnel attached to said can by a spring hinge and adapted to swing thereon substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
2. The combination or" a sheet-metal can having a recess formed around the top, a funnel hinged to said can and adapted to rest in said recess and toswing downward on said hinge, a slight projection on the inside of the funnel adapted to keep it in a vertical position and a waste-receptacle around the interior of said funnel; substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOSEPH W. JACK.

D. MEMISEUR, THOMAS WALKER.
