OIL-CAN.
Specification of Letters latent.
Patented Apr. 5, 1921.
Application filed January 12, 1920. Serial No. 350,918.
To all whom 2'15 may concern:
Be it known that I, ALLEN SMITH, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented a certain new and useful Oil-Can, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an oil can for oiling wearing parts of machinery and the objects of my invention are: first, to provide an oil can of this class in which oil may be poured from the same when there is only a small quantity of oil in the can in places where it is diiiicult to tilt the can to a position where the oil will run from ordinary oil can; second, to provide an oil can spout with an oil receptacle positioned on one side of the spout communicating with the interior of said spout adapted to receive Oll when the can is turned in a certain position and when it is turned around in a reversed position the oil will run out of said receptacle through the spout to a position desired when the can is only tilted slightly from a horizontal position, and third, to provide an oil can of this class which is very simple and economical of construction, durable, easy to operate and which will not readily deteriorate or get out of order.
IVith these and other objects in View as will appear hereinafter my invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of reference thereon which form a part of this application in which:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of my oil can on the line 11 of Fig. 2;
- Fig. 2 is a top or plan view of the can at a right angle to that of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the can in a slightly modified form from that of Figs. 1 and 2.
Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts and portions throughout the several views of the drawings.
The body 1, spout 2 and auxiliary receptacle 3 constitute the principal parts of my oil can.
The body 1 is of the ordinary or conventional type provided with a threaded portion 1 adapted for the spout 2 to screw thereon. This spout 2 in the preferred form is also of the conventional type except that it is provided in one side with an aperture 2 and secured on the side of the spout 2 and covering this aperture 2 is an oil tight receptacle 3 which is adapted to receive and retain the oil from the body 1 when the can is tipped sufficiently and in a position so that the receptacle 3 extends downwardly; then when the can is turned half way around as shown in the drawings the oil will pass out through the aperture 2 and when tilted so that the end of the spout is slightly below the center of the body the oil will pass out of the spout-from the receptacle 3 so that when the body 1 only contains a small quantity of oil, the oil may be poured from the spout by only tilting the can slightly from the horizontal.
In the modified form of construction shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings the spout 2 is curved so that the main portion is off-set which provides for pouring oil from the can with less tilting of the body than in the pre ferred form, the structure of the can otherwise being the same as in the preferred form.
Though I have shown and described a particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions I do not wish to be limited to this particular construction, combination and arrangement but desire to include in the purview of my invention the construction, combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.
It is obvious that with this construction there is provided an oil can by the use of which oil may be poured from the end of the spout by tilting the can only slightly from a horizontal plane, thus providing for oiling places that are practically inaccessible for tilting the conventional can and pouring oil from the same when there is only tacle secured on one side thereof and with an aperture communicating with the interior of the spout at a position in said receptacle nearest the end of the spout.
3. A device of the class described, ineluding an oil can spout and an oil receptacle secured on the side of said spout pro- Vided with an aperture communicating with the interior of said spout.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set 10 my hand at Sun Diego California, this 3rd day ofJanu-ary, 1920.
ALLEN SMITH, n.
