of the Commissioners of Patents on the 18th October 1882.
JOSEPH. KAYE of Kirkstall in the County of York
CANS.
IMPROVEMENTS IN OIL
The object of this invention is to construct the casing of oil cans made in
accordance with Letters Patent granted to me on the 19th day of September 1879
and numbered 3765 of greater strength than hitherto.
I accomplish my object by corrugating the casing thus giving to a certain
thickness of metal greater strength or I can use a lighter metal and give strength
equal to a much heavier metal in the construction of my improved oil cans.
Hitherto strength has been given to the casing when required by the use of
heavier and consequenty more costly material or by the addition of straps, bands
or hoops involving additional labor.
The stiffening of the metal may be effected by means of parallel corrugations,
diagonal corrugations, ornamental and other indentations of various forms, or by
raised ribs of various forms, or other equivalent devices.

IMPROVEMENTS IN OIL
The object of this Invention is to construct the casing of oil cans made in
accordance with Letters Patent granted to me on the 10th day of September 1879.
and numbered 3765. of greater strength than hitherto,
I accomplish my object by corrugating the casing thus giving to a certain
thickness of metal greater strength, or I can use a lighter metal and give strength
equal to a much heavier metal in the construction of my improved Oil Cans.
Hitherto the strength has been given to the casings when required, by the use of
heavier, and consequently more costly material, or by the addition of straps, bands,
or hoops, involving additional labour.
The stiffening of the metal may be effected by means of parallel corrugations,
diagonal corrugations, ornamental and other indentations of various forms, or by
raised ribs of various forms, and other equivalent devices, all such indentations or
ribs are made from the sheet metal of which the Oilean is constructed.
My Invention is best described by the aid of the accompanying drawings in
which Fig 1. is a view of an oil can constructed of corrugations, instead of Sheet
metal, plain or with bands for strengthening as hitherto. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal
section of the same, showing the corrugated material in section.
Having now described my Invention and the best known metliods of carrying
the same into effect, I wish it to be understood that I do not confine myself to the
exact form or direction of the corrugations shewn upon the Drawings, but what I
believe to be new and desire to protect under Letters Patent, is:
The construction of Metal oilcans the casing of which is formed into corrugation's
thereby giving greater strength substantially as described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Joseph Kaye, have hereunto set my hand and
•
seal this seventeenth day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand
eight hundred and eighty three.
