sPEcIrIcA'rI'oN mingpari-off-Leaers Patent No. 646,527, dated April s, 1900.
Application 1951 .February 2,1900.- serial No. 3,685. 'dro man.)
To a/ZZ whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, ERNEST O. LINTON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at West Superior, in the county of Douglas and State of lfVisconsin, haveinvented a new and useful Oil Can or Tank, of which the following is a specification.v
The invention relates to improvements in oil-cans. f One object of the presen-t invention isto improve the construction of oil-cans and to provide a simple and comparatively-inexpen sive one designed. for coal-oil, lubricating-oil, and other liquids` and adapted for household use, for filling lamps, and for the sale of oil and also for delivering the same to the bearings or other parts to be lubricated.
A further object of the invention istoprovideareceptacle of this character' which will not'leak if overturned land.' which will efec!v tually exclude dust and other foreign matter from its interior.
The invention consists :in the construction andV novel combination ,and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 isa perspective view of the upperportion of anV oil-can constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional .view of the oilcan.' Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view illustrating the construction of the valveseat for the lower end of the discharge-tube. Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawlngs. y
1 designates a vessel or receptacle, preferably in the form of acylindricalcan-and provided at its'top with a filling-opening 2 and having a ange extended around -the same and threaded for the reception of the screwcap 3. The screw-cap S'carries -a valve 4, constructed substantially the Isame as the valve Vof a pneumatic tire of a bicycle -anld adapted ltoreceive an ordinary air-pump, whereby compressed air may be supplied to the vessel or receptacle for! expelling the liquid contents of the samethrough a discharge-l tube 5. The valve 4.is provided with a screwcap, and as this construction is well known fu rther description thereof is deemed unnec essary. l
The discharge-tube, which extends from the top to the bottom of thejvessel or 'receptacle, passes through the top of the same and has its upper portion 6 curved outward and downward to form a spout, and the said tube is adapted to be rotated, as hereinafter explained, to arrange its discharge end over the vessel or receptacle when it is not i-n use to prevent it from dripping upon the supportingsurface. .Thedischarge end may be contracted or`constru'cted similar to thedischarge end of amordinary oil-can when it is desired to employ the device for lubricating purposes. The top ofthe vessel or receptacle is provided with an opening through which the discharge-tube passe's,`a'n`d a collar 7 is secured within the opening and is provided with exterior screw-threads for the reception of a stuffing-box 8. The stuffing-box, which is provided with exterior screw-threads to env gage the exteriorly-threaded collar, receives a packing 9, which is engaged at the top by a nut'lO. The nut 10 is exteriorly threaded andsengages interior threads of the stuihngis provided, and the tube is adapted to be reciprocated vertically for apurpose hereinafter explained. p
The lower en'd of the discharge-tube is received within a vertical guide-tube l1, having a valve-Seat at its ower portion and provided at opposite sides vwith openings or apertures 12 to permit the liquid contents of the can to pass upward through the dischargetube when the lower endef the latter is raised above the cylindrical portion yof the guidepin 13. The guide-tube has its lower portion box; By this construction an oil-tight joint exteriorly-threaded, and it screws intov a collar 14, which is soldered or otherwise secured t0 the lower face of the bottom of the 4receptacle, in an opening thereof. yThe guide-tube is also provided on the interior of its lower portion with sc rew-threads,which are engaged by a iange 15 of a cap 16. is removable, carries the guide-pin and receives a gasket or washer 17, of cork or other suitable material, againstwhich the lower end of the discharge-tube abutsf This gasket or washer which is arranged around theguide- The cap 16, which pin forms a valve-seat for the lower end of the discharge-tube.
The discharge-tube is held rmly against the valve-seat by means of a coiled spring 18,
" disposed on its upper portion and engaging an adjustable collar 19 of the said dischargetube. The upper end of the coiled spring bears against the packing or other ixed part, and by adjusting the collar 19 upward and downward the tension ofthe spring may be regulated. The collar is secured at the desix-ed adjustment bymeans of a clampingscrew mounted in a threaded perforation of the saidfcollar and engagingthe tube, as illustrated in Fig2of the accompanying drawings.
The tube is elevated above the cylindrical portion of the guide-pin by means of an operating-lever 21, fulcrumed between its ends on a bracketor arm 22 and having one end loosely connected with and'engaging the tube 5. The other end ot' the lever is provided with a suitable handle or gripand is adapted to be depressed to raise the tube 5 against the action of the spring 18. The engaging end of the lever may be constructed in any suitable manner; but itis preferably provided with a ring or band 23, loosely encircling-they tube and engaging a collar or flange 24 of the same, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. When communication is established between the lower end of the discharge-tube'aud the interior of the vessel or receptacle, the compressed air forces the liquid contents through the discharge-tube, and a steady flow is produced. By releasing the lever the flow maybe instantly cut off. The pivot of the lever is removable, and by detaching it and unscrewing the stuiing-box the tube may be readily removed from the receptacle. f
The device, which is designed particularly "for use on oil-cans and which is especially adapted for handling coal-oil and heavy lubricating-oils, may be advantageously employed for handling otherfliquids, and it will be apparentfthat after the vessel or recepta-f cle has been charged its liquid contents will be discharged in a steady continuous stream as long as the handle end of the lever .is held in a depressed position and until the receptacle is empty. The improvemen'ts may be applied to small cans for household use; lbut they are equally applicable to large cans or receptacles and may be advantageously emlss ployed for the s'ale of liquids. L
