retaini points disposed in circular ar rangement on the ring T to seat the oil een A 'when forced outward against the lugs 11. The lug 12 is provided with en overturned edge 13. The purpose of the edge 13 is to override the proj eeted rim B :with which the usuel form of oil can is provided. This er. rangement of the edge 13 of the lug 12 re telus the can A lirmlyseated upon the surface ot the ring 7. The undercut of the edge 13 is prolonged to provide for downwardly forcing rims B ot diierent Widths.

l To hold the can A outward against the lug" l1 and l2 and the rim B under the overturned edge 13, there is provided e guide eet spring; le. `Tl1e spring 1li, es shown in l c difewings, is ligidly` secured to the back 9 by ineens o e. oolt 'l5 and nut 16. The

In ,operation the vcan A is placed in theA rack by irst tilting the een to insert the outer edge of the rim B against the lugs 11 end under the overturnededge 13 oi" the lug 12. vil/vitliout removing the edge ot the can from Contact with the said lugs the opposite edge ofthe can is depressed against the spring 14 and forced dowmva=1:d,-compressing the seid spring' until the rim B is .forced under the free ed of the seid spring. In this position the can 'firmly and securely held in the rack. To removetlie een trom the rack the operator presses the bodyr't the can against the spring lli, further compressing thesaid spring until the outer edge of the rim B is moved from under the over turned edge 13. The outeredge of the can is then lifted :from Contact with the lugs 11 and 12 ,and Withdrawn from the rack, permitting the spring le to assume its normal position.

The back 9 of the rack is employed for securing the rack in position, using the screws 17, or any suitable device. The screws 1S shown in the accompanying drawings are only employed When, as seen in the drawings, the rack is placed in a ooi-ner or on a ridge of a fixed structure.

lVhile have described the employment of a raolr of this oharaeteras applied to au`v tomobiles or 1nehicles, it .will be understood as convenient for use in shops or on shop tools where a. jar generally results in the dislodgment of the can. Such a tool, for instance, as a drop die or punch.

geving thus described'my invention, what Claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. .An oil can rack, comprising a shelf-like member; a plurality of stop members ar ranged to form a curved Wall, one of Said members having an overturned holding edge; and a leaf-like spring mounted on said shelf-like member having a resilient Wall extended toward said stop members toform a guide for the can, the free end or" Said spring being adapted to extend above the reinforcing run of the can.

2. An oil can rack, comprising a shelf-like member; a plurality of stop members arrange tov form a curved Wall, one of said members having an overturned holding edge; and a leaf-like spring mounted on said shelf-like member havinga resilient Wall eX- tended toward said stop members to form a guide for the can and means for forcing the edge of the same under the holding edgeof' said stop members, the free end of said spring being shortenedn to pass over the rim of said can to hold the same upon said shelflike member.

In testimony whereof I' have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses,
