SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 768,355, dated August 23, 1904.
Application filed May 15, 1903. Serial No. 157,331. (No model.) I
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR O. BOLEN, of the city of Decatur,county of Macon, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Cans, of which the following is a specification.
This invention provides simple and effectcharge of oil from oil-cans. It is particularly. applicable to oilers; but it has utility in connection with gasolene-cans and the like 'or wherever it is important to cut off the flow of oil instantaneously.
The invention is exemplified in the structure hereinafter described, and it is defined In the drawing forming part of this speciin side elevation, and a part of the body of the can is broken away to' expose the mechanism The body of the can is shown at 1, the nozzle therefor at 2, and the handle at 14:.
At 3 is shown the oil-passage leading from the can to the nozzle, and at 4: is shown a valve for the -oil-Imssage. The oil-passage3 in the drawing is shown formed by the inner end of the nozzle projected a short distance into the can-body and below the top thereof and open at the lower end. The valve 4 is pivotally connected at 5 with a lever 6, which is fulcrumed inside the can. The fulcrum 8 for lever 6 is formed on a bracket7, which depends from the top of the can. A bracket 11 is secured to the outside of the top of the can, and a lever 13 is fulcrumed at 12 in bracket 11. A rod 9'extends from an end of lever 13 to an end of lever 6, and a compression-spring 10 encircles the rod and fits between lever 6 and the top of the can.
The topof the can is flat, the nozzle extends upward from one edge of the top of the can,
the body, and the force-receiving end of lever 13 extends above the handle in position to be pressed downward by the thumb of the user of the can. I The spring 10 presses downward on the power end of lever 6 and holds valve 4' closed against oil-passage 3 in a manner to effectually prevent the escape of oil from the can. vWhen it is desired to discharge oil from the can, the nozzle is turned downward and presented where the oil is desired and thumb-pressure is applied to lever 13 sufiicient to overcome thetension of spring 10 and open the valve. As soon as the required quantity of oil is discharged pressure on lever 13 is discontinued, and the spring 10 closes the valve 4 automatically.
The flatness of the upper end'of the can enables the nozzle to be placed to one side of the can and also provides convenient bearings for the bracket 7, onwhich lever 6 is fulcrumed. It is advantageous to have the nozzle at a side of the can, for the reason that the oil will be discharged more freely and completely through a side discharge than through a central discharge with the same degree of tilt. In other words, the degree of tilt needed to discharge the contents of the can is less when the discharge-opening is to one side of the center of the can than when it is at the center.
Theapplicability of the invention to cans other than oilers will be readily seen without special explanation, as the gist of the idea is toautomatically stop the flow of oil the instant a stop is required, and wherever this requirement exists the invention may be adbe used and to entirely disconnect the valve from the spout.
I claim In an oil-can, the combination of a can-body having a discharge-nozzle with its inlet-opening within the can-body, a bracket depending from the can-body top, a single verticallyrocking valve-lever between its ends fulcrumed to said bracket, an upwardly-closing valve within said body and below said openon said connection and compressed between 1 ing and pivotally joined to one end of said the body-top and said valve-lever end.
