March 28,1933. w. T. FAUX- 190239 OIL CAN Filed July 25. 1930 INVENTOR.
Patented Mar. 28, 1933 v UNITED [STATES WILLIAM T. FAUX, OF SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA OIL can Application filed July 26, 1930. Serial No. 470,790.
' This invention relates'to improvements in containers especially designed to hold such contents as oil, molasses and similar viscuous fluids. Y a F One of the objects of this invention is to provide a simple, efiicient and inexpensive oil can equipped with a movablespout and so shaped and constructed that the spout may readily and' quickly be caused to become entirely located inside the can so no part of its'main length projects outside the can.
Another object of this invention is to provide a combination spout and valve so arranged and construction that in one position it is completely housed in the can and its valve is shut off, andin another position it projects below the can and then its valve is automatically opened and the'contents of the can maybe drained off thru the spout. A further purpose of this invention is to provide in conjunction with an oil can or the like an upright discharge tube extending coextensively with the length of the can and opening out from the bottom of the can, there being a tubular spout telescoping slidably in said tube and designed to be manually moved out of the lowermost end of the can, means being provided whereby when the tubular spout shall have been caused to project below the can the line of flow of the contents of the can will be into the spout and out of the can.
A still further feature of this invention is to provide an-oil can with an internal discharge tube having a port at its lower portion, a tubular feed spout slidably mounted in the tube and having a port normally closed by the tube when the spout is out of projecting, relation with respect to the can, but caused to be uncovered when the spout has been lowered to project below the can.
In carrying out my invention I also provide in conjunction withthe telescoping projecting spout a handle slidably projecting outside of the can where same may be grasped hold of to move the spout downwardly in the can.
A further object of this invention is to provide a bottom on the can raised above its lowermost end and made dish-shaped and sloping so that it will conduct and directoil 7 into the port formed in 'the discharge tube from all directions to assure that all the contents of-the can will movable spoutl a t r t A finalobject of this invention is to. frictionally retard the descent of the tubular spout by supplying spring pressure against the adjustable spout. i i l/Vith the above and other objects in view my lnvention consists in the arrangement, combination and details of construction disclosed in the drawing and specification, and then more particularly pointed out inthe appended claim. 65
.In the drawing wherein similar reference characters designate similar parts thruout the several views, I r i Figure 1 is a top plan view of my inven tion, a
be drained out of the Figure 2 a vertical elevation thereof;
Figure 3 is a side elevation of my invention, 1 j j Figure 4 is a fragmental sectional view-of the lower section of theoil can, Figure 5 is a cross sectional View of-the can taken on line A A ofFigure 2,
Figure 6 is a bottom plan view of themvention, and 7 Figure Tis .a vertical elevation of the invention showing the handle,
In the drawing, wherein similar reference characters designate similar parts thruout the respective views, and which are merely g5 illustrative of my invention, 10 designates the oil can proper which will be made of any suitable material such as of metal being hollowed'out and made of durable formation.
At its upper mouth end an annular beadis returned upon the edge of the can as at 14 providing an inner annular chamber or space 15 so where only a small portion ofthe oil remains in the can and the can is inverted it will run as a film upon the side of the can and find lodgment in the space 15 so as not to run out and reach the bead 14 proper. .There is a sheet metal handle provided uponthe can consisting of the flat portion 11 having the upper curved portion and the lower curved formed preferablydish-shaped and made to incline so as to slope gradually for the major.
portion and radius of the can and made to slope precipitately as at 19 in th-e'minor radius or in the immediate vicinity of the dischargetubenow to'be described.
f That-portion of the can below the bottom wall is designated2O While inside of the can this portion constitutes a base compartment 21. I provide a tubular spout 22 made sub- .stantially'of the length of the can proper and formed laterally at its upper end is an elon- .gated opening 23.- The tubular spout 22 is slidably and non-rotatably and telescopically mounted in'the discharge tube 24 which also extends coextensively of the can. The discharge tube 24 is a rigid hollow body which is closed at its upper end as at 34 and which .opens out at its lowermost end from the bottom of the can 10. This discharge tube may either be formed or welded'upon the inner face of the shell of the can as shown-in Figure 5, or else it may be a separate tube operatively secured to said wall as shown in Figure 6. This discharge tube is formed with a dish-shaped'bottom wall 18 and is provided with alateral port 26 of a length slightly less than that of the passage or opening 23. Nor- ;mally, that is, when the tubular spout is completely housed in the tube 24 in which it is guided for movement its elongated passage will be closed or covered bythe tube 24, while the port of tube 24 will be closed, as shown in Figure 2, by the tubular spout 22.
It will also be seen that there is an elongated slot formed upon the shell of the can as at 29 and a similar slot 30 may be formed in the discharge tube 24, both slots registering. In Figure 2 the discharge tube is formed or welded directly on the shell of the can so that the slot need only be formed upon the shell alone.
At the upper end of the tubular spout a handle 29 in the form of a ring or otherwise is mounted. This ring has a strap 27 secured by the fasteners 28 directly to the spout, the handle slidably projecting outside the can as shown in Figure 2. When the spout engages the upper closed end 34 of this discharge tube the passage 23 is out of registration with port 26 and the handle 29 for sli'dably actuating the tubular spout is at the upper end of the can; the lowermost end of the tube 24 projects into chamber 21 and holds the lowermost portion of the slidable tubular spout 22 therein, and this spout also opens out of the lower end of the can.
In order to retard the too free descent or ascent of the tubular spout 22in the-casing or tube 24, I provide or may provide a brake in the form of a spring finger now to be described. Reference being made to Figure 4, it will be seen that the tube 24 is formed at its lower end with a notch33. The curved terminal 82 of a fiat spring arm 30 is designed to exert a spring pressure against the lowermost end of the spout 22, this spring arm projecting into the notch 33 for this purpose and secured at its inner end 31 fixedly to the tube 24. As the spout is moved in the tube 24 this so spring arm 32 applies sufficient friction to allow the spout to moveflslowly in and out ofthetube24.,,
It will now be seen that when it is desired to operate the tubular spout the handle 29 is taken hold of by the operator and the spout slid as far down in the tube 24 as'it can go, until the handle 29, shownjin dotted lines in Figure 2, comes to the limit of the slot 29 at its lowermost end;.the lowermost Q50 portion of the tubular spout 22 is now caused to project below the bottom of the can as shown in dotted lines'in Figure 2. When the tubular spout thus comes to rest it will be readily seen that the opening 23 in the 65 tube registers or communicates with the port 26 of the tube 24 so both ports are now open to the line offlow of the contents of the can, the sloping bottom 18 of this can assisting in conducting the oil thru the port,26, open- 1'00 ing 23, and thus causes the' oil to come out 'of thelower endof the spout into whatever vessel the spout empties into. The operator does not touch the spout ordinarily and thus his hands do not become besmirched with "505 oil. .I do not limit myself to the exact details of constructionbut'claim all variations within the purview of the .claim.
What I desire to claim and secure by .Letters Patent'is: v -'i10 In a device as described the combination of an oil can formed upon one side with an elongated slot, a tubular casing secured against the inner circumference of the can so as to bear in tight contact with the slotted j 11 portion thereof, laterally of the medial part of the can, said tubulan casing extending practically the full length of the can, being closed at its upper end and open at its lower end, a slide tube snugly and frictionally telescoping in said casing and of a Bo-extensive length therewith, an eyelet-shaped handle carried by the upper end ofthe tube, said casing having a slot thru which thehandle slidably projects, as the tube is moved down- '1 wardly so that its open lower end may project below the can and provide an oil-pouring spout, a floor extending transversely in said can above the lower end thereof, and,
inclining downwardly towards said casing,
said casing being formed with a lateral opening in a plane with said floor, said tube being also formed with a lateral opening of a length greater than the lateral opening of the casing, the bottom edge of the two slots being located at such a point that when the handle rests thereupon, when the tube is pushed downwardly, the upper part of the lateral opening of the tube will register with the opening of the casing while the lower part thereof will be below the floor of the can.
In witness whereof he has hereunder set his hand this 5th day of July, 1930.
WILLIAM T. FAUX.
