PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement relating to Cans such as are used for Paraffin Oil
and other Liquids.
We, WALTER JONES, of Danygraig Terrace, Talbot Road, near Llantrisant,
Glamorgan, Smith, and JOHN ROBERTS, of Maindy, Cowbridge, Glamorgan,
Timber Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to cans such as are commonly used to contain paraffin
oil and other liquids. It relates particularly to cans made without a projecting
lip or spout and which consequently require considerable care when the liquid
they contain is being transferred to another vessel, for example, to the oil
container of lamps. In the act of transfer the liquid is liable to be spilt, and
if the neck of the can from which the liquid is being poured should be rested
on the lip of the vessel to which the liquid is being transferred, there is a liability
to slip.
This invention, which is designed to obviate the said slipping, spilling, and
consequent waste, and other disagreeable or injurious results, consists in com-
bining with the can a funnel which depends from hinges provided near the
mouth of the can. That side of the funnel which is nearest the can neck is
recessed above the hinges. In practically using the combined can and funnel,
the lower end of the latter is inserted in the mouth of the vessel which is to
be charged from the can and the latter is then tilted on the hinges. This action
brings the mouth of the can well into the funnel and the liquid flows through
the latter into the vessel being charged. No slip can occur between the can and
the funnel and no spilling of liquid can take place except through possible over-
filling.
The combined can and funnel which constitute this invention is suited for use
in filling lamp and stove fountains having side plugs while the wick remains
alight, as the funnel serves as a shield guarding the flame against reaching the
liquid being poured out of the can into the fountain.

page_text: Timber Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to cans such as are commonly used to contain paraffin
oil and other liquids. It relates particularly to cans made without a projecting
lip or spout and which consequently require considerable care when the liquid
they contain is being transferred to another vessel, for example, to the oil con-
tainer of lamps. In the act of transfer the liquid is liable to be spilt, and if
the neck of the can from which the liquid is being poured should be rested on
the lip of the vessel to which the liquid is being transferred, there is a liability
to slip. This invention, which is designed to obviate the said slipping spilling
and consequent waste, and other disagreeable or injurious results, consists in
combining with the can a funnel (A) which depends from hinges (B) provided
near the mouth of the can (C) that side of the funnel (D) which is nearest the
can neck is recessed above the hinges (B). In practically using the combined
can and funnel, the lower end of the latter (E) is inserted in the mouth of the vessel
which is to be charged from the can, and the latter (F) is then tilted on the
hinges (B). This action brings the mouth of the can (C) well into the funnel (A)
and the liquid flows through the latter (A) into the vessel being charged. No
slip can occur between the can and the funnel and no spilling of liquid can take
except through possible overfilling. The combined can and funnel which con-
stitutes this invention is suited for use in filling lamps and stove fountains
having side plugs while the wick remains alight, as the funnel serves as a shield
guarding the flame against reaching the liquid being poured out of can in the
fountain, and can be brought into use without the aid of a seperate funnel or
guide for the said oil or other liquid the whole being constructed in such a
manner as to be readily and easily handled.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
A combination of the can and funnel in which the oil or other liquid is stored.
