Patented Aug. 14, i923.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ARTHUR R. BECK, OF Illilt'ls, IOWA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO RILEY J. BECK, 0F SIOUX CITY. IOWA.
OIL
.Application led February To u?? u-rom t muy concern.'
e it known thaty le, Anrnrn l. Bison, a citizen ot' the United States, and a resident of Ames. in the county of Story and State of Iowa,y have invented a certain new and useful Oil Can, of which the following a specification.
My invention relates to that class otoil cans in which a force pump is employed to project the oil from the spout.
The objects of my invention are to provide. an oil can ot' this class ot't simple. durable and inexpensive construction.
More specifically it is my object to provide an oil can oll this class in which the pump. the screw cap, the oil can, the leedl pipe anrl the handle are all lirinly united and connected together so they will always maintain their proper relationship to each other, and also so that a new can or a new spout may he readily, quickly and easily applied.
A further object is to provide an improved valve mechanism ol simple. durable 'and inexpensive construction, and so arranged that the two valves are readily and easily accessible and removable and may be interchanged.
My invention consists in the construction, 'arrangement and combination of the various parts of the device, whereby the ohjects con# teniplateil a 'o attained, as hereinafter more fully setV forth` pointed out in my claim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a side elevation of an oil can enihodying nl v invention.
Figure 2 shows a top or plan view ol the saine. i
Figure i. lshows an enlarged, derail, sectional view through the pump and ifeecl pipe and screw cap for the can und part` of the handle and discharge spout.
rFigure 4 shows an enlarged. detail. spective view of one of the valves.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, I have used the reference numeral 10 to indieate the screw cap for the oil can. Permanently fitted to the screw cap is a feed pipe 11, and fitted to both the screw cap and the feed pipe is a pump cylinder 12.
At. the upper end of the feed pipe 11 there is formed a valve chamhenthe upper edge of which is screw threaded to forma socket CAN.
. Pf rs. e, i922. serial No. 534,940.
13 for the reception of the lower end of the screw threaded discharge spoilt 14. Then the discharge spout is screwed into position, it engages a valve body 15 and serves to hold it in position. This valve bodg7 comprises a circular, flat metal member having an opening through its center.y and a Hat metal valve 15 is mounted on its top above the opening.
For holdinlg,r the valve in plaee, and at the saine time permitting it to function as a. valve1 I have provided a rod 17 with its ends fixed to the valve body "15, and its central portion extending over the top ot the valve. At one end of the valve there is a round openingr into which the rod 17 is received. At the other end, there is a slot 15 into which the opposite end of the rod 1T is received.
This rod 17 performs the additional func- )ion ot serving as :i handle by which the valve body may he grasped to remove it from the valve seatj when the spout has been removed. It also serves to limit the upward movement of the valve.
At the lower end of the feed pipe 11 I have provided a screw cap 19 into which the lower valve is inserted. This lower valve is of exactly the same size. shape and construction as the upper valve before described.
l\[ounted in the pump cylinder 12 is a piston 2() which projects out through an opening in a screw eap 21 on the outer end ot' the pump cylinder, and a. handle 22 is .secured to the piston and provided with a rounded loop 23 at its outer end.
The handle is preferably formed of a single piece of wire or rod having a loop which surrounds the body portion of the can. and a handle 25 and another loop 26 at its upper end whielrextends' around the screw cap 10 and on opposite sides of the pump cylinder, and which is secured by soldering or otherwise to the screw cap 10.
The can is tilled by simply removing its screw cap 1() in theordinary Way, and when this isdone, the pump and discharge spout may become separated from the'ean. This unserewing of the cap' from the can is done very readily and easily because the operator may grasp the handle with one hand and the can with the other, and use the can as a lever for removing the screw cap. The proper relationship is always maintained between the handle and the pump rod so that the operator may insert his thumb in the loop 23 of the pump rod, and. grasp the handle in the palm of his hand, and thc-u readily and conveniently manipulate the oil can and pla'ee it in any desired position, and at the same time he can operate his thumb readily, easily and conveniently to appiy pressure to the oil, and -with this arrangement no spring in the pump is i'ieeessary,
Furtliermore, when the pump is not being used, the pump rod and its loop 23 may he retained in position close to the pump cylinder, whereas with the kind of oil cans in which a spring is employed in the pump, the pump rod always projects outwardly from the pump cylinder.
In the event that any injuries occur either to the oil can or the discharge spout, either one or the other may be easily and quickly removed and a new one substituted, and any ordinary oil can or disellarge spout may he employed because none oi? the pump mechanism or valves, or handle is connected permanently to either the oil can or the die4 harge spout.
Furthermore, in the event that either valves should for any reason become inoperative, the operator can readily and easily remove it, and either it or substitute a new one,
If it is desired to remove Athe upper Yalve the operator simply unscrews the upper spout and grasps the -`rod 17 and lifts the valve and valve body out of its seat; or if it is desired to remove the lower valve. he simply uuscrews the cap i9 and the lower valve can be removed from the can by graspiuff the rod 1T,
have also. found in practice that the specific construction of the Valve is benefielal 'and advantageous, because by having a round opening at one end and a Slot at the other tl'irough which the rod 17 is extended, the valve. will open freely with a hinge-like movement centered at the side in which the round opening is located, and it will not slide up the rods 19 away from the valve body and stick in this position, which sometimes occurs when no slot is proyided for one end of the ralve.
l claim as: my invention: n
An improved oil van comprising an oil can body having a screw threaded opening ut its top, a screw rap for the oil Can, a feed pipe permanently lixed to the screw cap and having Yvalve at its lower end, its upper end ahovc the screw rap beingr formed with a valve mat, aud a srrew threaded extension above Ihe valve scat. a vulve mounted in said valve seat, a discharge spout screwed into the said screw threaded extension and en# gagging the vali-e body, a pump cylinder permanently fixed to the screw Cap and cornlnunicating 'with the upper end of the feed pipe, a piston therein, a piston rod connected with the piston and provided'with a loop` and ak handle for .the oil can. looselyencircling the body portion of the oil can and permanently fixed to the screw cap, for
the purpose as stated.
