PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Oil Cans
I, MAX BÖHME, Manufacturer, of Aue in the Kingdom of Saxony, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the means for closing the spout or mouth of oil cans.
The spout or discharge tube is armed with a tapered shoe or tube, which
projects over the mouth of the tube and is fixed to it by solder or other suitable
means.
-
A slightly conical cap fits over the mouth of the said tube or sleeve and is secured
to it in a special manner. For this purpose the said sleeve has on one side a
shaped bow or hoop, the ends of which are fixed in the sleeve, while the central
part is parallel to the side or axis of the sleeve and split near one end, so as to allow
one end of the said central part to be bent sideways for producing a gap and
introducing the cap, after which the gap is closed again. The cap has a longi-
tudinal slot, through which passes the outer end or foot of the bow, but which does
not extend to the edge of the cap.
For fixing the cap to the shoe, the central part of the latter is bent aside, and
the edge of the cap is introduced through the gap thus formed, after which the gap
is closed.
Dated this 14th day of November 1890.

The spout or discharge tube E is armed with a tapered shoe or tube D, which
projects over the mouth of the tube and is fixed to it by solder or other suitable
means.
A slightly conical cap A fits over the mouth of the said tube or sleeve, and is
secured to it in a special manner. For this purpose, the sleeve D has on one side
ashaped bow or hoop, B, the ends of which are fixed in the sleeve, while the
central part or bridge F is parallel to the side or axis of the sleeve and split near

a gap (Figs. 3 and 4) and introducing the cap A, after which the gap bis closed
again. The cap A has a longitudinal slot a through which passes the outer end or
foot of the bow B, but which does not extend to the edge of the cap.
For fixing the cap to the shoe, the central part of the latter is bent aside, as in
Figs. 3 and 4, and the edge of the cap is introduced through the gap thus formed,
after which the gap is closed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
A device for closing the mouth or spout of oil cans, having the characteristic
feature that the hoop B or bridge F formed on the shoe D is provided with a cut
or division b, in order that the cap A may be easily introduced and subsequently
removed, when the shoe D is permanently fixed to the oil can, substantially as
described.
