Description
tluiml [ltere g aient @titille Letters Patent No. 98,332, dated December 28, 1869.
I IMPROVEMENT IN OIL-CANS.
- l I The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of the sama I, AIME NICHOLAS NAPOLEON AUBIN, formerly of Albany, State of' New York, temporarily residipg in Montreal, Dominion o f Canada, have invented certain Improvements in Gans for Holding Oils, Varnishes, Spirits, or any other such liquids, of which the following is a specification.
The first part of my invent-ion consists in adapting to the. neck of any ordinary can, an attachment by which it automatically closes itself whenever it is not intentionally kept Open, andis hermetically sealed, vin a very prompt and ei'ective manner,.by merely pushing a hinged prop.
The second part relates to. the combination, with the said attachment, of a projection, which prevents a can furnished with a spout, in case it falls or is upset, from remaining in such a position as to spill its contents.
And the third part relates to the combining, with the two preceding devices, a wire gauze, to prevent any dame from communicating to the liquid or vapor in the can.
Figure l is a perspective view of the upper part of the can bearing my improvements.
Figure 2 is a perpendicular section of the same.
A is the conical top of the can.
B is the neck.
C is the closing-cap.
I), lever, bearing the cap at one end and the prop at the other. y
d, lulcruni of the lever.
d', hinge of prop.
E, collar, attached to the neck of the can, the two ends of which project so as to bear the lever.
f is a spring, spiral or otherwise, so `arranged as to press the lever, and to 1keep the cap closed upon the end of the neck. The cap bears inside an elastic washer, of leather, cork, O1' other substance, which takes easily the shape of the edgeof the neck, and therefbre closes it perfectly..
F, prop, hinged at d', which, having its lower end pushed forward, acts as a sort of knee-joint, raises the lever, presses firmly the cap on the neck, and keeps it tightly sealed.
G, spout. H, disk of wire gauze, indicated by the dotted line,
and placed inan inclined position, so as to allow air K, wire or other projection, placed under the,spo'ut,4'
as shown. ,y
Its object is, in case the can be upset, to prevent it from remaining with the spout downward, and thus facilitate the turning of thelcan-with the end of spout l up, in which position it is kept by the weight of the handle and'lever; and as the neck is always closed when not purposely held open, little of the liquidcan run out. Then, should this small quantity catch tire,
the wire gauze under both apertures would prevent the flame from reaching the liquid inside.
The operation of a can such as I have described is` easily understoodby a mere inspection of the draw- I ings, and its advantages are obvious.
It does away with all kinds of detached stoppe-rs, and therefore saves time and care, and as itkeeps the can always sealed, the chances ot' accidents are thus materially diminished.
I claim, as my invention- `1. 'A self-sealing attachment to the neck of cans, consisting in a lever, D, bearing .the.cap, a spring,- f, and hinged prop F, constructed and operating suhstantially as described. Y
` 2. The wire gauze, covering the apertures inside of the can, not as a separate device, but in combination with the se1f-sealing attachment.
3. The projection K,in combination with the spout G, for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
' N. AUBIN.
