OIL CAN. A No. 293,468. I Patented Feb. 12,1884.
. UNiTEn STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN WV. JACKSON, OF SHARP-SVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
OiL-CAN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,468, dated February 12, 1884. l Application filcdNovembcr 28,1883. (No model.)
To all whom, it mange-concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W. JACKSON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Sharpsville, in the county of Mercer and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil- Cans; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertainsto make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inoil-cans; and it is designed more especially as an improvement upon my Letters Patent No. 281,189, dated July 10, 1883, the object of my present inventiOlll, being to construct a can which it will cost less to manufacture than the one hereinbefore referred to, and at the same time will possess certain advantages, as will be herein-- after set forth. r
In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate my invention, Figure l is a sectional view, and Figs. 2 and3 are detailed views.
A represents an oil-can of ordinary construction, to which I have shownmy invention applied, B being the spout, and G the handle. "Within the spout B, so as to extend below the means for attaching the same to the body of the can, issecured a conical portion, D, which is upset at its upper end, so as to provide a valve-seat, d. The lower end of the supplemental spout D extends into the body of the can, and is perforated, as shown at d. To the upper part of this conical portion D, which is inclosed within the spout. proper, is secured a bail, e, which has formed in its transverse portion an opening or guide, 0, for the valve-carrying rod E. This rod is of greater length than the supplemental spout D, hereinbefore referred to, and extends above the bail c and beneath the perforated portion (1.
At a suitable-point above the valve-seat, on the rod E, is secured a conical valve or stop per, E.. This rod is also provided with a spiral spring, F, which bears upon the upper portion of the valve and the under portion of the upper part of the bail, and normally holds the valve upon the valve-seat, so as to prevent the oil from passing from the can out of the spout. The rod E is held centrally within the conical portion D by the guide 6' in the bail at its upper end, and at its lower end by passing through a central perforation in the bottom of the part D. a
To one side of the body of the can, which, when ordinarily constructed, is at an angle, as shown", are secured two side wings or supports, G, there being provided in the can between the lower ends of these wings a slot, 9. The upper part of these wings are formed into the rounded portions h, which are slotted, as shown at g. The wings G are made in two parts,
their edges being secured to each other by solder, or by being bent over each other.
H represents a lever, which is bent so as to have the configuration shown in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings, and it is provided at its end which lies within the can with a cupshaped end, i, which will lie immediately beneath the rod E. At its outer end it is provided with a thumbpiece, '5. At a suitable point upon the rod H is provided a collar, k, which is preferably of some anti-friction or soft metal, as Babbitt metal or lead,which is placed between the embracing portions it, formed on the ends of theside wings. The collar k is provided with a semicircular groove, 7t,which extends from the upper portion of the rod H on one side of the collar to the rod on the other side, so as to provide a vent or air-inlet to the body of the can.
By constructing the parts in the manner just described, I am enabled to provide a tight joint at the upper end of the side wings, so that the oil or other material inclosed in the can cannot escape therefrom, and when the thumb-piece i is pressed toward the body of the can air may enter through the groove it into the hollow side wings, G, and from thence through the slot 9 into the body of the can, the same motion imparting pressure from the rod H to the vertical rod E, so as to raise the valve from off the valve-seat and allow the oil to escape through the end of the spout. It
at any time that may be desired, no matter in What position the can may be placed, and though the can may be accidentally upset the same will not spill. The thumb-piece 011 the end of the rod H is secured immediately over the handle, so that the same can be operated by the hand which supports the can.
If desirable, the side wings, as hereinbefore constructed, may be formed of separate pieces of sheet metal than those employed in the construction of the body of the can, or they may be struck up from the same piece.
The slot being located very near the pivotal bearing of the rod I-I, requires to be of very small length, twice the diameter of the thickness of the rod being sufficient. Having thus described my invention, what I-' claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In combination with a self-closing oilcan, avalve-oper'ating mechanism attached to thebody of the oil-can, consisting ofa rod, 1
H, having a disk, 70, with groove k, and supporting-pieces G, the parts having the slots 9 y, substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. In an oil-can, the means for closing the spout, consisting of the conical portion D, perforated at its lower end, and having a valveseat, 13, and bail e, and valve-carrying rod E, provided with a spiral spring, F, in combina tion with the hollow side pieces, G, supporting a lever, H, with grooved disk k, the parts having slots 9' g, the parts being organized substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN IV. JACKSON.
